kind words from our clients

Hire Elana - she is amazing and you will not have any regrets! I could not have wished for a better experience working with Elana on the redesign of our four bathrooms and master suite. She is so uniquely talented at what she does - she seamlessly incorporated our ideas into the overall design, resulting in spaces that feel truly personalized. She also has a deep understanding of the industry, construction process and has a keen eye for detail - all of which were invaluable. She's also just lovely to be around and work with, which made the whole process so enjoyable.

Elana has consistently demonstrated an incredible ability to transform spaces with a perfect blend of skill, creativity, and client care. Her keen eye for detail and commitment to excellence truly elevates every project she undertakes. Elana's expertise shines through in her work. We've had the pleasure of witnessing her talent bring life and style to numerous spaces, and we couldn't be more impressed with the results. She is a true professional who goes above and beyond to create remarkable and personalized designs.



Rebecca M.

Elana is the total package! We were lucky to find her. She was very patient with us throughout the design process and answered every question we had, provided samples for us to look at, as well as choice in vendors. Elana listened to our ideas and provided excellent feedback. Her suggestions about functionality, layout, finishes and hardware were spot on. She was with us through every step of our kitchen renovation and communicated directly with our contractor throughout the build phase. We absolutely love our new kitchen! I will definitely be using Elana for our next project!




Jessica T.

One of Elana's standout qualities is her ability to seamlessly blend functionality with aesthetic. As busy professionals, we needed a space that not only looked incredible, but also supported our daily routines, hectic schedules and kids’ active social lives. Our home now definitely incorporates all of that - unique, versatile, functional and durable pieces, and a layout that maximizes efficiency without compromising on style. Our home is now the “go to” house in the neighborhood.
