Pretty much without exception, a design resource I use and well as recommend to my all my clients is the website houzz.com. Helping the client visualize a concept, a color scheme, a lighting affect, you name it, helps move the project forward with confidence and comfort. Additionally, in reverse, clients can use Houzz.com as a tool to demonstrate their likes and vision. Pictures really are a thousand words when it comes to expressing what is in our mind's eye.
Yesterday Houzz announced their 2017 designer award recipients; Carlisle Design has been selected "Best of 2017 - Customer Service"!

“We’re so pleased to award Best of Houzz 2017 to this incredible group of talented and customer-focused professionals, including Carlisle Design,” said Liza Hausman, vice president of Industry Marketing for Houzz. “Each of these businesses was singled out for recognition by our community of homeowners and design enthusiasts for helping to turn their home improvement dreams into reality.”
This award means so much as I strongly believe that customer service and communication go hand in hand with the design itself to ensure the overall experience is successful.
Thank you to everyone who works with me! There is not one project, big or small, where I don't rely on the expertise and experience of the professionals that I utilize to complete a project. I am thankful for their craftsmanship, communication and dedication. Without my contractors, workrooms and suppliers my ideas would never come to life!
Additionally, without question I want to thank my clients as well. I appreciate your trust in Carlisle Design and your willingness to walk through the design journey together. I always see it as a partnership as that unquestionably produces the best end result.
I am very fortunate to work, doing what I enjoy, but it is the professionals along side me as well as my clients that make the difference! Thank you to all!
