My sister who lives near the Casabella shop recommended them to me. A traditional 2-story home with an open floor plan, I’ve had my house for ten years. I hired them to update the two rooms I spend the most time in on the main floor. Beth was my designer – she did a fabulous job working around my schedule. Whether it was making plans during my visits back east or communicating remotely, she was very easy to work with.
The two rooms Casabella designed from scratch were the main living room and a small den/TV room which used to be a dining room. In addition to having a design that looked pulled together and coordinated, I wanted these spaces to be ultra-comfortable. A small thing, but very helpful: during one of my early trips to the showroom, I was able to sit in the chairs and couches she recommended to rate their comfort level.
Beth is an expert listener; she’s wasn’t trying to tell me what I should do. Instead, she wanted to understand how I used the space and how I wanted it to look and feel. In the main living room, there is a wall of windows with a view to a marsh. The design she came up with brought the beauty of the outdoors in with a soft green, gray, and beige color scheme. From window treatments to all new furniture to lamps and rugs, I love how polished and cozy it feels now.
A relic of the past, we updated the red walls of the old dining room with a pale grasscloth – which couldn’t be lovelier. They also mounted the TV on the wall – one less thing for me to worry about.
Beth kept the project moving forward – and managed all the details – which was no small thing with the time change. I’m only in Massachusetts a handful of times each year, and she worked around my trips, so I was present when I needed to make vital decisions. Budget-wise, I appreciated that there were no surprises as she was transparent/upfront with me about communicating fees.
I couldn’t be happier with the transformation- and highly recommend Casabella.
