“This is the second home Milena has helped us with, and once again we could not have finished it without her.”

This is the second home Milena has helped us with, and once again we could not have finished it without her. Having her involved before construction began was invaluable—she guided us through selecting every finish and detail up front, saving us stress and costly changes later. From tile and countertops to lighting, wallpaper, paint colors and furniture, she made sure everything tied together beautifully. Most importantly, she managed all the details during the build so nothing was overlooked, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend bringing her in early to help especially if you are doing a remodel or new construction!

“I am so thrilled with all of the beautiful work Milena has done in my home.”

I am so thrilled with all of the beautiful work Milena has done in my home. After purchasing our home, I was overwhelmed by the design process in the two major rooms (living room and family room) in our home. Milena helped me hone my taste and really listened to what worked and didn't work for our young family. She selected everything from window treatments, a stair runner, furniture, wallpaper, paint, carpeting, light fixtures etc. for both rooms and made sure everything was delivered and installed to perfection. Even though Milena pulled all of the elements together, the design still feels like something a more creative version of me would have dreamed up- Milena has such an amazing sense of what I'm drawn to from our consultations together. The final result is absolutely beautiful, polished, and functional for our family-- it looks beautiful, but it is practical and so comfortable for us. More recently my husband and I decided to re-design our kitchen. We were already working with a contractor and had a specific layout in mind but were struggling on how to give it a polished, unique feel so we decided to do a Design Day with Milena. We had a conversation about what we were looking for and about our budget and landed on a couple of inspirational photos. After our conversation, Milena came back a week later with BEAUTIFUL mood boards from which I selected all of our final touches including lighting fixtures, paint colors, backsplash, sink, cabinet hardware, window treatments, seating area design, counter tops and cabinet styles. She looked at the cabinet styles and countertops our contractor had available and helped us with the perfect selection. The other touches will elevate our kitchen so much and Milena's years of experience and advice on spacing and other key elements in a kitchen have been invaluable. After I made all of my selections, Milena curated a product list complete with links and pricing to all of the things I selected and offered to purchase components where she would be able to get a designer discount for us. She offered lower cost alternatives in places where she did not feel it would compromise the design. Thank you, Milena, you have done such an amazing job of elevating our home just to our taste and we LOVE spending time with you!

“Milena was absolutely fantastic to work with.”

Milena was absolutely fantastic to work with. She helped us with a powder room renovation and new drapery and sofa pillows in our living room. Her design ideas were fantastic. She really listened to what we wanted and understood our style and came with ideas/fabrics/options that were what we wanted. It made the planning stages so easy. Her contractors were amazing - so professional and easy to work with. Milena was very responsive and we are amazed how quickly she was able to execute the entire project. She is very focussed on the details and ensured that everything was done perfectly. She was also a great communicator and kept us informed in a timely manner on all aspects of the work. She is the ultimate professional as were her contractors. Finally, her warmth and caring personality made working with her a wonderful experience. We absolutely love her and her work!

Milena was a joy to work with on my condo projects . She has incredible taste and her follow up is amazing. I could not have been any happier with her service, attention to detail, and great connections in the industry. Everything was completed quickly and with the highest quality and attention to detail. I would highly recommend Milena and will probably hire her again in 2023 . Christine Odway

“We worked with Milena to refresh our lighting fixtures, décor, wall paint, wallpaper, carpet and cabinets.”

We worked with Milena to refresh our lighting fixtures, décor, wall paint, wallpaper, carpet and cabinets. I loved working with Milena and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an interior designer who brings creativity and ideas but also listens to what you want. Milena is warm, trustworthy and timely. She understands that this is your home, and the design has to fit your style and functionality. She is solutions-oriented—she will find a way to get you want you want—without compromising quality or breaking the bank. She is also very flexible - she will move at your pace, and always came prepared with multiple options ranging in style and price. Designing/decorating your home can be full of ups and downs, and she handled all of that with grace and practicality, and I look forward to working with her again!

“Milena helped us redecorate our foyer and family room.”

Milena helped us redecorate our foyer and family room. She was a pleasure to work with. She was on top of everything and so timely. We had a flood and we were overwhelmed with everything that needed to be done. She came in and took over everything. She basically was like a general contractor and decorator. She has amazing contractors that she works with and they were high quality and professional. She also has exquisite taste and gently guided us. She doesn't go for the most expensive pieces and stayed within our budget. I have worked with many decorators over the years and she was by far the best! CAn't say enough good things about her.
