I was introduced to Ilene as I faced a design challenge of turning my home into a family‐friendly space for our growing, and active, 12 month old. Ilene immediately became a trusted partner and with a clear eye and beautiful design aesthetic, she created a modern, functional, and beautiful playroom/office which our daughter loves. Plus she designed an inviting contemporary livingroom which is perfect for adult gatherings as well as an occasional play‐date. Simple yet stunning accents really made the difference and Ilene was wonderful in always thinking about our child’s needs first before sharing recommendations with us. We are so appreciative and thrilled with our “new” home.
“Ilene has excellent taste and has worked with us on multiple home improvement projects over the past decade. As our children have grown, Ilene has helped adapt our house to their changing needs and she has been willing to work on any size project.”
“Ilene was truly a pleasure to work with: a consummate professional, she was always extremely organized and responsive, returning calls and emails promptly, following up with vendors to get questions answered, and responsible and fair in her billing. And while she made excellent design suggestions throughout the project, Ilene also made it clear that she considers her job to realize the client’s aesthetic sensibility first and foremost and not to impose her own, an approach we truly appreciated. Ilene was was very respectful of our budget consideration and limits, and helped create a beautiful space within the budget framework we had articulated. We are delighted with the finished result and extremely grateful for Ilene’s contribution.”
“Besides wonderful taste, flawless execution and ingenious suggestions, Ilene has the gift of knowing exactly what her clients want before they do which is the most important attribute of a great designer.”
“Ilene helped me design both my living room and dining room. She helped me stay within budget by shopping both at the Merchandise Mart and retail stores. She knew exactly where to take me to get what I needed. I have received many compliments.”
“I am really loving the new decor, it’s exactly what I wanted.”
