Get matched with top residential (interior space planner) designer in Lincolnwood, IL

"My husband and I previously worked with Wendy a few years ago when we moved into our condo, to help us freshen up the overall look of our space. We were so pleased that when we decided to do a full update (and upgrade) of our en suite bathroom earlier this year, we hired Wendy again; once more, we were thrilled with the results. Wendy has a tasteful eye and understands practicality. She gave us beautiful options throughout—floor tiles, shower tiles, fixtures, shower doors...everything! Her suggestion of tall cabinets made excellent use of previously dead space and added so much storage (a big plus in a Loop highrise!). She was helpful in providing price point information on our options as well.  Throughout the process, her communication was prompt, professional, and clear, even when the design work was done and we were already spending more time with the contractor (whom Wendy referred, and was great to work with as well).  We've recently referred Wendy to some friends for their new home, and we look forward to hiring her again when the time comes for us to make a move or another update!"

"Jane was great to work with. We were doing a major remodeling of our first floor, as well as updating furniture and appliances, powder room, and updating our den, and needed both architectural design and interior design. Jane was supportive and patient in walking us through from our general ideas to specifics, and we are very happy with the results. Would highly recommend working with her and have recommended her to friends."

"Paul was extremely helpful and did a great job helping us design our new kitchen as well as giving his thoughts on additional work we were thinking of doing. I highly recommend Paul."

"We bought a 100-year-old house in late 2011 and, in the past nine years, have had more contractors than I can count work on it—plumbers, electricians, HVAC, masons, you name it. I start my review that way simply to note that we have extensive, years-long experience hiring and working with many, many contractors. Some have been good, some bad, and a few, well above average. Anthony Giangrossi and our two-man crew, Marco and Edgar, probably rank at the top of the list. The first clue came when Anthony came out to give us an estimate. He walked around the house, taking his time, noting all kinds of things, pointing issues out, explaining things. Of our multiple quotes, he came in the highest—about twice the price of the our other quotes. But the reviews we saw on Angie’s List and elsewhere were so good that something made me keep him in consideration as we sorted through the quotes. Eventually, we decided to bite the bullet and hire Anthony. We have not had a single moment when we have regretted the decision. In fact, I’d say Anthony has been the single most responsive (and responsible) contractor we’ve ever hired, period. He responds promptly, explains things clearly and understandably, and is genuinely concerned that you make the decision that will make you happiest. One major reason we went with Dynamic Colors is because of the prep work. The condition of the previous paint job was okay and the wood underneath, for the most part, was solid. But Anthony promised—and delivered—on what is probably the most thorough and careful job of prep work I’ve ever seen. It took Marco and Edgar the better part of a week to prep just two sides of the house (because of the cost, we split the job over two years). Marco and Edgar took their time, were diligent, thorough, and meticulous. Cleanup at the end of every day was so remarkable that, except for the tools and materials they left in place, you’d never have known that anything was going on at all. Once the prep and power washing were complete, painting began. Same thing: diligent, thorough, and meticulous. Nothing rushed, nothing skipped. Although we never changed our minds on the house color or the trim color, we dithered and changed our minds more than once on the stain for the front steps, for the porch, and for the front door. Anthony was supportive, patient, and helpful throughout. It took us some time to settle on what we wanted (or thought we wanted) and all three were amazing throughout the entire process. The house (at least the two sides they worked on) are in better shape than when we began. They silently made little (or not-so-little) repairs, fixed things, took care in disassembling and reassembling things (like the front door hardware). One day, I saw Marco cleaning the storm windows before he put them back in place. Cleaning the storm windows! I would venture to guess that 99+% of painters out there are going to do a beautiful job of simply putting the windows back in place. How many of them will actually take the time to clean every storm window, front and back, before replacing it? We still aren’t certain what to do about the front steps and railings, but Anthony was there every step of the way to offer advice on how to proceed so that if we change our minds by next spring, he can revise what they’ve done with the least amount of time and effort. One downspout has been leaking noisily since they replaced it. I can’t emphasize clearly enough how attentive Anthony has been in getting that resolved. I wish they cost less. But they are worth every penny they charge. We have not regretted choosing them for an instant, are very pleased with the job, and would recommend them without any hesitation whatsoever."

"Norma is a pleasure with which to work -- she is fast, efficient, and thoughtful. Her primary goal is to listen to her clients, provide advice, and get them going in the directions of their dreams. We were on a tight budget but needed some help -- I called Norma, set up some time to talk, and before you know it, she had provided us with tons of advice, floor plans, and some good questions to clarify what we were hoping to do. Our meetings in person were exceptional and she was constantly listening to us talk, not the other way around. Norma has a particularly clean style that can lean modern or traditional, depending on what you're seeking. Clean, bright, and uncluttered is what you'll find at Entwine interiors. A highlight is her thoughtfulness in space-saving designs in addition to what I have mentioned, above."

"We started working with IDEA back in the fall of 2010 for designs for a remodel/addition to our 1950's Cape Cod.  The designs were done by one of the original partners of the firm and we could not have been more pleased.  He really took into account our desire to maintain the overall feel of the house and the charm as well as creative ways to re-purpose existing space.
Construction on the house started in April of 2011 and was originally supposed to take 6 months.  We ended up being out of our house for 7 months but most of the delays were due to weather issues at the very beginning of the project.  Also, mid-way through the project, Peter (the architect who did our drawings) left the company to move out of the country.  Marty and Angela did scramble at first trying to pick up the pieces in Peter's absence but eventually, things sorted themselves out and we honestly have nothing but good things to say about them!  They were incredibly responsive to our requests and concerns, Angela provided excellent guidance with design, color, style etc. on decisions that we easily could have been overwhelmed with.  She has a wonderful taste level!  Any time we had issues with how construction was progressing, Marty quickly responded, met with us and made sure things were fixed to our satisfaction.  He is also one of the genuinely nicest people we have ever met!  
It's been several months now since the project has been completed and we could not be more pleased.  Any kind of construction/remodeling on your house is stressful but in retrospect, Marty and Angela were great to work with and we would definitely recommend them, and IDEA to anyone considering a remodel or addition.  They were great!"

"Amazing. Took copious notes during our consultation, and invested the upfront time to provide a detail "best estimate quote" so I could get a sense of where the cost would be. Is a strong communicator and helped me stay creative and work within a budget to meet my needs. She actually earned my business... a rarity in the contract world. And just plain nice."

"They did a good job. She had to submit like a photo but my daughter had them work on the central are of the loft. The deal was for one room. She got a lot of good ideal from her and it was worth it for her. They were professional and I did not hear anything negative."
