We recently had the pleasure of working with Ralene to redesign our living room. We started with a blank slate—no furniture, no window treatments, old lighting fixtures, etc. One of our biggest challenges was redesigning the fireplace wall, which required custom carpentry work. Ralene came up with an excellent design that matched the style of the home. She communicated with the carpenter throughout the project to ensure that the work matched the design.
Ralene was incredibly easy to work with. She kept us up to date throughout the months-long project, and was able to work around some delays in our contractors’ schedules. She asked the right questions to get a sense of our style and came up with an excellent design. Her furniture and lighting selections were spot-on.
We love spending time in our new living room. It has exactly the sophisticated and inviting feel that we were looking for. I highly recommend Ralene for your next design project!

Working with Ralene was a pleasure and resulted in the primary bedroom of my dreams! Ralene walked me through an extensive prep process to capture the elements I wanted and was able to convert my conceptual ideas into tangible, creative recommendations for everything from budget, paint color, wallpaper patterns, furniture, art, linens, rugs and lighting. She is a great design partner who is confident in her approach while at the same time welcoming and incorporating many of my ideas. Her background as a project manager helped keep things moving and she is thorough in her follow-up and ensuring that everything is delivered and installed correctly. Ralene provided a detailed budget and stayed very close to it. I highly recommend Ralene to anyone who wants to work with a real professional who is warm, diligent, respectful, creative and enthusiastic.

Ralene was such a pleasure to work with reimagining and redesigning my bedroom recently. I had a home break in that was very traumatic and caused damage to my bedroom. I looked to Ralene to help me reimagine the space in a way that spoke to the peace and safety that I was looking for. She was able to take into account my design preferences while offering up her own unique touches. I appreciated her willingness to iterate with me to get to the right colors, furniture, textiles, and layout. Thank you, Ralene, for helping me reclaim my space. I hope we get to work on more projects (under better circumstances) soon!

Ralene guided us through our selections for our kitchen and en suite bathroom. She listened to our input and made herself available to meet with all of the vendors and contractor. The outcome is better than we could have imagined. We were able to work closely with Ralene to select key items for our space to make it a whole package - tile, countertops, hardware and plumbing. The kitchen feels more open and usable with the addition of customized cabinetry and drawers that allows for better flow in the kitchen and into the dining area. We love the picket tile that continues up and around our large garden window. It is such a stunning area to see! Our bathroom is now a spacious and airy retreat with beautiful arabesque tile and porcelain shower walls/countertop. The highlight is the "carpet" of herringbone tile surrounded by a rectangular border. We highly recommend Ralene and her design services when it comes to a remodel of a kitchen or bathroom.
