Though new to our clients, this North Shore home was already 30 years old and required a lot of work, more than they ever imagined. Shortly after, they signed on with our design firm and we field measured the house, prepared computer aided floor plans and furniture placement, created new kitchen and bathrooms, designed a second floor office above the garage, and established a list of “to do’s” for the contractor they hired. The process began, slowly – ever so slowly. Years later that contractor was gone and my clients replaced him with another. The frustration level was mounting, but we all hung in there as the house was finally taking shape, as planned. As they say, “All good things come to those who wait”.
CLIENT TESTOMIAL
“Renovating our home, albeit a long process was a learning experience for me and my husband. Early on when the vision of renovating our home was in its infancy, we were fortunate to have met Natalie Weinstein at a home show. After a few conversations, I knew that this may be the person we needed to hire as we were entering unchartered territory.
One of the major things I learned was the importance of hiring someone with not only expertise and solid knowledge of interior design, but also a person I could trust, was honest and had integrity. Natalie Weinstein was that and more. She guided us through the decision making process and cautioned us when it seemed we were about to make a mistake. Her staff was always there to support us with anything we needed.
This experience also taught us that just like Natalie was trustworthy and hard-working, there are those people in the home construction business that are not. Thus, weeding out those vendors that want to “make the money and run” is crucial to making your dream home a reality. I am happy to say that here again, Natalie Weinstein, came to the rescue by referring us to the very best people she knew would get the job done well, whether to lay our tiles or to design our kitchen.
Lastly, I learned that realizing a dream requires risk taking. Our leap into the unknown led us to that first meeting with Natalie and to her I am eternally grateful. With her advice and support we designed a beautiful home that we feel comfortable in and proud to share with our family and friends. We could not have accomplished this without her. Oh yes, one other thing I learned patience is truly a virtue.”
