“After working with Karen in 2012 on our second home in Michigan we asked her to help us with redesigning our Chicago home in 2014. She helped us not only make it more functional but beautiful as well. She's an extremely talented professional.”

“I have worked with Amber and Gwen on two condos which required different strategies. Our needs for the first condo focused on maximizing the space as it is small and the focus of the renovation/decoration was to create a warm and welcoming environment that was casual as the condo is in a resort town. We had the most fun working with them as they are creative, classy, intelligent, and extremely knowledgeable. We trusted their advice as they knew what we wanted. They created a wonderful place with accessories, bedding, furniture, lighting that made our place a showcase at only 1000 square feet. We wanted to use our paintings from Brasil. The attention to detail - buttons on window fixtures that matched the materials on furniture, the color scheme that went throughout the condo, working with the contractor to ensure that everything blended to mazimize space - was amazing. Because of what they did at this condo, we asked them if they would help us on another condo. The challenge for Gwen and Amber was that we lived in China at the time, had bought a condo sight unseen, and we wanted to have major renovations done to the kitchen, bathroom, and mudroom as well as having them integrate all of our "treasures" from around the world - furniture, pottery, paintings and other acccessories from China, Korea, Africa, Brazil, Middle East, and Europe without ever having seen these treasures. Gwen and Amber took on the challenge and worked with us virtually to create a home that reflected our style where we could entertain and make our guests feel at home too. Not only did they handle all the decorating and interior design - Gwen managed the contractors for us. Everything came together on time and within our budget. Gwen is a master at visualizing what your needs are, offering options with a range of costs so that you have choices, advising on what blends together or not. She is also very patient and diplomatic when we wanted to add more Chinese furniture. She would listen and then patiently explain that we were looking for a more global look and not just Asian. Then she would come back with a piece of furniture like the Chinese one that would be a better match and quality. You could not find two interior designers who are more professional, creative, cost-conscious, and elegant than Amber and Gwen. They are trustworthy, innovative, and have an amazing work ethic. They work 24/7 so it was always easy to contact them virtually. Also, they are a lot of fun to work with as they have a positive, can-do attitude in getting things done in the least stressful way as you work through all the details to make your home what you want it be be. They took our ideas and made them better. I would use them again if I bought another home regardless where I lived as I know that they can and will work virtually. I would highly recommend them as I know they can do anything that they set their minds to in helping someone create their dream home. I bet they could even do offices too!!! You can see our living room and dining room on their website. We love what they did to both of our places. They are a great team!”

“Karen was wonderful as I was building a home in Indiana and lived in California. She was knowlegeable, creative, helped me keep on my budget and really helped me so much in this long distance decorate. I don't know what I would have done without her. One of the best things about her is she is a wonderful person.”

“Trish helped us decorate our living room and dinning room. We absolutely loved the the outcome of her work. The place looks more modern, beautiful, and spacious. Trish also created lots of storage room, which we needed. It was delightful to work with Trish, she is very professional - she was always on schedule, she was a great listener, and she was flexible when we requested to make changes. If you need to decorate your place, call Trish!”

“From my first encounter with Molly, I was impressed by her passion and well rounded background in architecture and design. I found her to be well versed in the construction process and she related extremely well with contractors. During the design process, she worked collaboratively and proactively in our best interests and was so friendly and easy to work with! Along with establishing a total design philosophy, look, and feel, she brought great attention to detail. She was sensitive to budgets and was innovative in using our pre-owned furniture. The product brochure that she presented for each room was beautifully put together and integrated with the budget, which simplified the project. Molly was honest in her professional opinions while respecting our tastes, style and budget. At the end of the day everything came together in perfect harmony and we could not be happier with the results! I would highly recommend Paladin Design House for all realms of design work. Now that my project is complete, I will miss her!”
