“I contacted Rande after researching some designers in my area. I had been working with another designer on a complete remodel of my house. After the construction was completed, I felt the designer wasn't getting where I wanted to go with the interior design and so when I met with Rande I felt she understood what was wrong and where this project needed to go in order to finish it. I had been working on this project for a few years and I was exhausted. Rande made it so easy for me! She put together a presentation and gave me a few options and when I couldn't make a decision, I put my trust in her experience, taste and knowledge. We are very close to finishing and I am absolutely thrilled with everything. It has truly been a pleasure working with Rande and her darling assistant, Emilie.”

“Elaine of Elaine Morrison Interiors designed and supervised our kitchen and outdoor patio remodel. We were impressed by Elaine’s genuine regard for our family’s lifestyle and personality. With an eye towards function, esthetics and entertaining; Elaine enthusiastically explained her vision of what a “Traditional Remodel” would look like. Elaine prepared scaled renderings of the proposed project as well as detailed timelines and cost projections. The contractors recommended by Elaine were professional, courteous, and talented craftsmen. Because of Elaine’s ever-present supervision, the project was seamless and the final outcome is eye-popping. Shopping with Elaine was truly an adventure. She took us to design centers and hardware stores. We visited stone fabricators and upholstery shops. We shopped for everything from delicate fabrics in Beverly Hills to stone slabs at granite yards in the San Fernando Valley. We saw every kind of stone, tile and backsplash imaginable. Wherever we went, everyone seemed to know and respect Elaine for her expertise and professionalism. We could clearly see why. The centerpiece of our remodel was the kitchen island. Elaine was able to reconfigure and expanded the island on the original footprint creating a huge amount of storage and a very large serving area. The cabinets designed by Elaine featured pull-out drawers and swing out shelves for easy access. Elaine’s cabinet maker used the highest quality hardware including pulls for all the drawers, doors, and for the wood paneled refrigerator. Elaine found a magnificent quartzite slab for the island and countertops. Next, the vent over stove was replaced by a very large and impressive stainless-steel hood. We decided on a Wolf oven, steam convection oven, countertop stove and a built-in microwave oven as well as a wine cooler. We also purchased the Sub-Zero side by side refrigerator and a Cove dishwasher. Elaine found fabulous lighting fixtures to accentuate the island and glass cabinets. Exquisite window treatments tied the family room and kitchen together. Elaine had the entertainment center in the family room updated and stained to coordinate with the kitchen. The existing travertine floors were stripped and resealed. Elaine recommended that we reupholster our existing customized furniture that were originally designed to fit the unusual geometry of the room. Elaine's imaginative vision transformed our simple barbecue into complete outdoor kitchen which featured a refrigerator, stainless-steel pull-out drawer and a sink. The Dekton countertop beautifully complimented the indoor kitchen. Elaine beautifully married design with function. Although she is high energy, Elaine has always been sensitive to our concerns, anxieties and expenses. Watching the project come to fruition has been tremendously exciting. We are grateful to Elaine for her patients, guidance and friendship.”

“Susan Jay is an talented designer, decorator who takes the time to get to know her clients. One of the many reasons that I hired Susan during our six month kitchen and bath renovation and whole house redesign was to help us stay sane and married. My husband and I have very different styles and we practically never agree on both design and decorating decisions. He is very hard to please. (Others have tried unsuccessfully.) Susan did an outstanding job, first helping with the design of both our gut renovation of a kitchen and bath and then with a new color palette, all new electrical lighting, window treatments and more. All the hundreds of decisions needed to be eco-friendly and also accommodate my chemical sensitivities and our budget. Not only was she kind, and supportive during this stressful process of renovating during a pandemic, but she brought us both design and decorating ideas that we could agree on. And when there was a problem, she was always available with good problem solving solutions. We are now enjoying our newly renovated home thanks to Susan and her team.”
