dedicated

“Claire has true vision. She is able to take my ideas, along with many of her own, and translate them into beautiful, functional rooms. Though I had been concerned that hiring a designer would mean abandoning my own taste, Claire helps me to realize my style – only better. Claire is so dedicated and focused that your project will often be the last thing she thinks of before going to sleep! New meaning to the term: Always working.”

Dorothée A., Larchmont, NY

creative

“Claire had lots of creative ideas to put the finishing touches on our family room and foyer. I find combing through fabric and wallpaper books to be incredibly overwhelming; Claire did an excellent job of narrowing the choices. She has a great eye and helped me complete the look I was after.”

Karen B., Rye, NY

fresh

“It has been such a pleasure to work with Claire throughout our updating project which included re-upholstery, window treatments, pillows, and custom headboards. Her ideas and help resulted in a new, fresh look and feel for our living room and guest room. In addition to lending her wonderful sense of design, she was very sensitive to our budget. Claire is very easy to work with. She’s a great listener, direct communicator and follows through very quickly and efficiently. We would recommend her to anyone!”

Aimee B. & Jeff K., Edgemont, NY

sophisticated

“Claire has a great sense of color. She makes confident decisions, is easy to work with, and has clever ideas. She has a sophisticated style with just the right amount of whimsy. I would recommend her without hesitation.”

Stephanie R., Rye, NY

practical

“For my kitchen renovation, Claire gave me excellent design advice, creating a vision that reflected my taste and my goals. She even stuck to my budget, which was often challenging: when I fell in love with backsplash tiles that were out of my price range, she worked patiently to find a substitute that I preferred for 80% less. Finally, on the practical side, Claire capably coordinated the different aspects of the project, understanding exactly what needed to be done and when, making sure the project was completed in a timely fashion.”

Sara F., Scarsdale, NY

fun

“Claire had great ideas from the minute she walked into our house. Our finished room looks great and we get so many compliments. Best of all, Claire is fun to work with. I highly recommend her.”

Seema J., Scarsdale, NY

elegant

“Claire transformed our living room into an elegant seating area that is also comfortable and practical. Claire helped us pick durable and kid-friendly fabrics without compromising the look. She is extremely knowledgeable and detail-oriented. She helped us figure out what we were looking for when we weren’t exactly sure. Claire was especially helpful with the scale of the furniture and the layout which is so important in Manhattan apartments. Our living room now feels bigger; there is more seating but less clutter. We could not have been happier with Claire – both with the end result and throughout the process. She is flexible, easy to work with, and was extremely conscious of our budget. She took all the stress out of decorating and made it a fun project.”

Molly & John C., Upper East Side, NYC

considerate

“Claire has given me many ideas on how to use my spaces most efficiently and what will make them look best. She has given me layouts so I can visualize her ideas – which I need and appreciate. Claire is also very considerate of my budget.”

Lauren M., Larchmont, NY

dream

“Claire truly helped us turn our new house into our dream home. She put in the time at the outset, really listening to our goals and aesthetic preferences, which streamlined the entire process. The team of contractors and artisans she works closely with are of the absolute highest caliber and speak volumes about her professionalism and attention to detail. She also happens to be a lovely person – always calm, full of good ideas, and genuinely wonderful to work with.”

Sarah & Gardiner W., Rye, NY

user-friendly

“I was so impressed by all of the layouts Claire designed for our living room. Our furniture fits perfectly in the space and now our most-used room in the house is much more user-friendly. Plus, now everything is oriented around the fireplace which was a goal that I was hoping to achieve.”

Jessica D., Pelham, NY

unique

“We are beyond pleased with Claire – she helped us realize the style and vision we couldn’t execute ourselves for our living and dining rooms. Claire is stylish, creative, professional, efficient, and extremely hard-working. The products and fabrics she recommended coordinated beautifully – we were able to create a unique look that suits our needs and taste perfectly. Claire – thank you so much for sharing your expertise, not only did we end up with beautiful rooms, we learned a great deal along the way.”

Kim & Mike P., West Harrison, NY

expertise

“Decorating a house can be a daunting undertaking, especially if you move from an apartment like we did. You need design expertise and strong execution – Claire provides both. She is full of fresh, affordable ideas, delivered at warp speed.”

Erica H., Scarsdale, NY

optimism

“Claire’s input was invaluable in helping to transform our house into a true home. She selected the perfect combination of paint colors for our rooms. Without her there to direct me, most of our walls would have been off-white! Claire also helped coach me on how to effectively communicate with my contractors. She brought an enthusiasm and optimism to the project that made it really fun for me. I can honestly say that I do not know what I would have done without her!”

Allison W., Scarsdale, NY

sincere

“Claire was great to work with. She was able to effectively put forth her professional opinions and thoughtful ideas yet remained accommodating to our tastes and style. Claire was appropriately detailed in her design and furniture selection – she never cut corners. Her easy-going and sincere personality always made the decorating process an enjoyable interaction.”

Sushma S., Scarsdale, NY

color

“This was my first experience with an interior designer and I needed help with everything: room layouts, furniture selection, right down to wall paint color. I found Claire to be a great listener who was open to my ideas and my budget. Most importantly she has a great sense of style and color. She made the whole thing work and it was a fun process.”

Richard K., Montclair, NJ

clean

“When Claire was finished with my home, it had a clean, streamlined, youthful feel. The style is natural and simple–not too ‘done.’ The decor is sophisticated, but with touches of fun. As a result of Claire’s expert advice and know-how, I have exactly what I pictured in my mind’s eye, but could not have achieved on my own.”
