We could never have imagined this on our own...

We purchased our house knowing that we had a major renovation project ahead of us, and started looking for designers and contractors right away. What struck us most with Emily Griffin Design (Emily Griffin and Stephanie Houghton, with whom we interacted throughout the project) was their genuine excitement and vision around the possibilities with the existing “bones” of the house. The renovation included a full gut of the main floor including major changes such as vaulting the ceilings, moving the location of, and full re-design of the kitchen, reconfiguration of the family room, a new lighting plan including selection of fixtures, new windows/doors, flooring, colors and painting of the entire floor.

We had never gone through major redesign or worked with a designer before and were unsure of the process. They were patient with us, really listened to our needs (current and future), and came back with an incredible design – something we could never have imagined on our own. The result is that they gave us such a beautiful place, one that we couldn’t imagine getting to on our own, but it feels 100% “ours”. They were also respectful of our budget and made the space luxurious while keeping the project costs under control, which was important to us.

In addition to the design, we needed help coordinating and managing the entire project. This included working with and managing the contractors, a number of in-process touchpoints and a final inspection of their work. Stephanie and Emily helped re-calibrate and fine-tune the design while the work was in progress. Their keen eye and attention to detail was much needed and appreciated.

The entire project from start (first Vision meeting) to finish (final move-in and furniture/decor consultation) took almost a year, and we were blown away by their creativity, passion and enthusiasm at every turn. We felt that they were as emotionally invested in our home as we were.

We still cannot believe the transformation and how great our house looks. We have to renovate other parts of our house and we will be sure to work with them again in the future.

Thank you Emily Griffin Design for helping create our dream home and making the process so much fun.
