Testinmonials

Andrea and her team are amazing! They helped me pack and move all my furniture and belongings into storage when I was renovating my home. Andrea created beautiful and affordable designs for the remodel of my home and oversaw the subsequent construction. She did a fantastic job. When everything was complete, she and her lovely team moved all of my things back in and organized my home beautifully. I couldn’t be happier with Andrea, her professionalism, or the job she did for me. I would happily recommend her to anyone needing help with a move, a remodel or interior design!

I have worked with Andrea Knowles on a number of projects. Her design sense and dedication to her clientele is excellent. She has consistently worked with us at the Rug Company and my showroom creating unique and original selections that complement her clients's tastes, while providing her own vision and skill as a designer. Her follow through and the thoughtful, respectful manner in which she treats everyone makes her a pleasure to work with.

Andrea has a great eye for home and office design. In addition to creating gorgeous, well-appointed spaces, her focus on function is what really stood out to me.
