We?ve spent the last year or so living through a major renovation on our 1923-era home. We can say without reservation that one of the best investments we?ve made prior to and throughout the whole project was to seek Chantelle?s advice. Her wise counsel with our kitchen design and d?cor paved the way for not only a beautiful space, but also one of the most functional spaces in our home. She never imposes her tastes on anyone, but rather explores in a very easy-going way to determine her clients? tastes and how they live life. She always says, ?I don?t live here, you do, so it has to be what you?ll love and what works for you.? I love Chantelle?s dedication to reusing, repurposing and recycling what you already have. For the rest of the house, the most useful (and most fun) consultations I?ve had with Chantelle is one where we did a ?walkabout? through all the other rooms in my home. I followed with a notebook and just wrote down every suggestion, idea, or tip she offered. You can?t believe the difference it made in how our house works and how it looks. It?s us but way better. Chantelle is absolutely the best value as a designer and decorator. I have recommended her countless times, and I look forward the next time we can do some work together! - Karin Melberg Schwier
