Client Testimonials
"This house was most difficult to lay out, especially with the challenges of using my own things. Without Natalie, it never would have happened."
I am so happy we connected after 30 years! My house looks AWESOME! Thank you so much. Tommie M., Northport NY
Natalie's coming into my life shortly after my husband's sudden passing, nurtured and renewed my spirit for life like nothing else could have. Forever grateful, Eileen M., St. James
Thanks for all of the work you did in our home. As I look around the house at all of the rooms you designed, I am overwhelmed with happiness. You and your staff are great at what you do. Laura & Bob |
“At some point in our lives we have to make changes. In our case, size and maintenance at our old home was a concern. We are not condo people and wanted the same amenities we had enjoyed for the past 25 years while creating a comfortable place for all of our children to visit. Our new home provides all of that and the décor gives us a calming relaxed atmosphere that we love to entertain in. The new furniture reflects our new phase of life and we still enjoy old pieces we love. One mile away we have the water and a town that offers a cultural center, shopping, and an endless array of some of Long Island’s best restaurants. We made the right move.”
“Upon seeing beauty one must smile. Our home is filled with that kind of beauty-from art and furniture to the walls and floors – we delight in how beautiful everything has come together. Each day we look around our home and SMILE. We especially love to see the smiles on our friends when they visit for the first time.”
Natalie, with the help of a first rate team, created a sophisticated environment, where space limitations necessitated a “place for everything” while not obstructing the spectacular views. Her Site Manager, Annie, coordinated the trades, overcame the restraints of weather, and “put up with us” with patience and grace. We love the loft-like feeling, created by high floor to ceiling elements, that maintain the 180 degree views.
“It was March 4th, 2011, my birthday, when my husband Michael told me he had something to show me. Who would have ever thought it would be blue prints to a new home. We had only built the former house 12 years prior, but from the start, I always knew I wanted something different. We love to entertain and let me tell you….our new house….it was made for entertaining! From the minute you walk through the front door, the open foyer welcomes you into the heart of any Italian home, the kitchen. From here I can look out to the beautiful Great South Bay and into the den where on any given weekend my children, grandchildren and closest friends can be seen hanging out, enjoying the smell of garlic and drinking all of my husband’s good wine. During the week, it’s much more quiet. Michael and I get to enjoy the serenity of the front porch or backyard by ourselves. This house has given us everything we have ever wanted…beautiful living space for us to have fun, relax and just live the life!”
" We were able to see and feel a difference in our home. It became not only a more beautiful space to live in, but became a "greener" space, becoming far more energy efficient by remedying glaring insulation issues and ill-fitting windows that created drafts in various rooms both upstairs and down. After all the extensive renovations, our home is now one of peace and calm. It is truly a dream come true!
“Natalie worked with us from the earliest architectural plans to the hanging of our last artwork. She was able to incorporate our lifestyle needs and taste into a home that is both functional and beautiful. This truly is the home of our dreams.
We bought our place because of the beautiful views and our main focus was not to obstruct it with draperies. We tinted the windows to protect the furnishings from the sun and just hung solar shades. We love the furniture, rugs and the lovely wall unit with a fireplace Natalie designed for our living room. She was great in letting us use some of our older pieces and had them refinished. They came out beautiful. Her staff was excellent in following up on all of our orders. Natalie really achieved our goal of designing an apartment with a clean contemporary look, yet warm and comfortable.
It was difficult at times to see the whole "gestalt" but in the end I was very pleased with the overall look of my apartment. Natalie successfully integrated my photography and her cabinetry work was wonderful.

She is fabulous! Natalie is absolutely fabulous and I loved her ideas. She's extremely talented and innovative. I can honestly say she was never at a loss. My entire home was remodeled six months ago and it is truly breathtaking.Even when Natalie herself was not available, her staff was accommodating. This was very comforting as they are all very talented as well. I received extremely great value in all the work that was done.

I am overwhelmed with happiness! Thanks for all of the work you did in our home. As I look around the house at all of the rooms you designed, I am overwhelmed with happiness. You and your staff are great at what you do. I hope one day to have you work on the upstairs of our home.

Her work speaks for itself! I got in touch with Natalie in a very unique way. While in a Mercedes-Benz dealership my husband and I noticed the rich mahogany style. We found her name for my husbands law office twelve years ago and have been using her ever since. She was in discussion with the architects that built my house and really had very valuable input. There were things tailored for us that an architect would not think about. She is a truly amazing professional. She is creative, historic, and is in touch with periods, names, and places with the ability to create a contemporary music room or a French seating room. Magazines have photographed my home and clients come by to visit regularly. Natalie promotes livability in your home and has more knowledge than anyone in any one of the stores. She has the respect as soon as she walks in the door. You get what you like and she works around the clock.

The more we did the happier we got! My wife and I had made attempts to make some improvements to our home and eventually decided to leave it to a professional that has time and expertise.. We saw an add in a local paper and went along for the ride. All the subcontractors she brought in were excellent. We had the option to bring in our own resources if we wanted to do so, but decided on her experts. Although it was not cheap it's well worth the money to thoroughly enjoy your home each and every day you return there, others have commented on it as well. We have called her back for some more projects too.

Natalie, your talents speak in your work. What we appreciated while working together was your sense of humor and personality with perk! You changed our home, which we love, into a palace. Your eye is strong, your talents long, your creativity a gifted chalice.
We could not be happier with the results. Every visitor has remarked at the beauty and the efficiency of design: architectural changes, choice of furniture and fabrics, the colors that integrate the entire flow of the house and the quality of the materials and workmanship. Most importantly, we love it! We feel comfortable with all aspects of our "new" home.
Natalie, you are a truly gifted designer and incredibly talented businesswoman. You took on a very tough assignment, which was a monumental task to complete in just two short months, but you accomplished it. You innate conceptual grasp of space and color are truly amazing. Your ability to provide goods and services in a timely manner and at deeply discounted cost was essential to the projects overall success.
Bernie brought a tremendous amount of project management attention and talent and made the right calls on all the tough decisions. Your extra touches, e.g., pediments over room entryways, were brilliant.
What was truly exceptional were your attitudes and affability during the entire process. You never got flustered and always provided your talents as caring professionals and not just hired hands.
Thanks so much for guiding us in making our home a truly beautiful abode that we hope to enjoy for many years.
