Design and Remodeling

  I have worked with Amy for over eight years. She has assisted with everything from major remodeling projects to simply accessorizing. Amy is unbelievably creative, coming up with ideas that I would have never imagined! She will customize the level of involvement to the needs of the client - doing everything from simply suggesting ideas to managing the entire project. She is very honest, organized, and efficient and her fees are very competitive. Client satisfaction is her primary goal. I would highly recommend her services. You will not be sorry!!

  I first chose Amy Anderson as my designer several years ago when our home was destroyed by a major plumbing leak. It was a big job which included replacing cabinets, trim, counters, flooring, rugs, lighting, furniture, accessories, window treatments, paint - the works! It was completely overwhelming. Amy is the most efficient, organized and detail-oriented person I've ever known. She immediately calmed my fears by putting those great skills to work managing our complete house renovation. The results were spectacular, and I loved my new house. A few years later my husband and I decided to downsize a bit. He found a sad, neglected house, built in the early 90's that had never been updated. I told him the only way I'd agree to leave my existing home was if he'd let me hire Amy again to oversee gutting and redesigning the new house. He agreed, and I am happy to say, the results are as spectacular as my first house with Amy. On both houses, she was able to help me determine the exact look I wanted and then helped me find the perfect products to achieve that look. Amy is so talented and easy to work with. I would never renovate or decorate another house without her!

  I hated my master bath. It was short on both space and style. Amy was the third designer I consulted and she was the only one with a vision. After helping me define the style that I wanted, she went to work measuring and getting a feel for the space. In short order, she delivered a detailed plan to give me everything I wanted. She helped steer me in the right direction with the tile, lighting, countertops..everything. More than once, I would hear, "well, from a design perspective..". This meant that my design selections were veering from the contemporary look that I wanted. The end result was a bathroom that I love. The look is light, bright, and airy. Thanks, Amy!

  We loved working with Amy and Design Perspectives! We were in desperate need of some updates and took a long time (over a year of interviewing professionals) to find one that we clicked with and got our vision for what we wanted and needed. Our initial project started with hardwood floors for our downstairs and removal of old tile, laminate, and refinishing of some existing hardwood in our master bedroom. Amy was wonderful at listening to what we wanted, securing contractors to do the job, staying within budget and communicating effectively with us what was going to happen and when. We were so happy with that project that we kept adding one after the other when the current one would finish because we were so happy with the end result and wanted to keep improving areas to match the new look! By the end of the project, we had new hardwood floors downstairs, a completely new and gorgeous, sleek master bathroom, two additional bathrooms upstairs completely redone-old tubs out, new showers, tile, mirrors, cabinets, new carpeting all upstairs, every part of our home repainted-on the inside and the outside, new lighting nearly everywhere-chandeliers, canned lights, fixures, etc. Granite installed in the kitchen along with new backsplash, removal of old ugly light box, gorgeous new stone flooring, all our cabinetry refinished, a gorgeous two story stone fireplace installed-a show stopper-, new crown and floor moldings, a wall taken out to open our kitchen and living area. and a redo and expansion of our pantry and laundry room to better accommodate the seven people who live here. We also had beautiful new shutters put in throughout the house and replaced hardware on all the doors and cabinets. Amy helped us secure some gorgeous art pieces for our home too. We had been in our house for 16 years and it needed some love and updating for sure. Amy was always mindful of our budget and we would talk through places we could spend a little less and areas that needed more consideration-getting the most bang for our buck! We thoroughly enjoyed working with the contractors that Amy hires to do the jobs needed and they became dear friends, as Amy did during the process. She is very down to earth, easy to work with, calm under pressure, and completely professional. Can't say enough good things about working with Amy. As you would imagine with any project of this size, there were considerable things that came up, stone not delivered as we expected, stone tile that we hated once it arrived, incorrect items delivered that we hadn't ordered, etc. Amy handled it all and worked as our advocate to get everything resolved quickly and completely! You will be in good hands no matter what type of project you are wanting to embark on. Amy stays current on the latest trends, attends many design and trade shows during the year, has contacts and relationships with so many vendors, suppliers, contractors, artisans, and other professionals that she always knew where to find everything we needed. The only sad part of the job is having to say goodbye when the projects come to an end. If we have any other projects we would like to have done in the future, we know exactly who we will use! Thanks Amy for all your help!!!

  Amy did a fantastic job redesigning our master bath. She turned our bathroom from an outdated "Waverly look" into a modern up to date, relaxing "spa" retreat. Amy listened to us and really delivered our list of wants and needs. She worked with our contractor to ensure our plan was completed to our specifications. The finished product was just what we wanted and I credit it to Amy's design services. Amy really gives you personal attention and her great attention to detail makes all the difference. I would recommend Amy to anyone!  
Jan M
  Amy is a fabulous designer!!! I needed to have new floors put in my home and called upon Amy for advice. Not only did she come up with wonderful ideas, she found me better products at better prices!! She is extremely helpful and has wonderful installers working for her. I would recommend her to anyone needing help!"  
Tina T
  Amy helped design my new kitchen. It is fabulous. She was easy to work with, professional and very precise with her measurements. She brought great ideas to my contractor and helped me make selections that gave me the finished product that I had envisioned. The money I spent to have her help was well worth the price. We had done remodeling projects before and they always seemed to fall short of our expectations. She is wonderful!

  Amy, you were the first person I thought of to be part of Baker's Market celebration to recognize those designers that we truly appreciate. You were on the top of my list, not because of the amount of purchases this year, but because I think you are an extremely talented designer who I have so much fun working with.  
Tara P
  PS--- I submitted your company to the DHOME top designers for 2018!!! You deserve to make the list.

  Seriously stunning Amy! I absolutely love it, what a gorgeous home! How beautiful! I love the before and after photo…it’s so different! Thank you for sharing and keep them coming! What a beautiful space! I love it all! My goodness you’ve been very, very busy!!!  
Erin E
  Wow, wow, wow! It looks amazing! You guys did a terrific job with it. I love the artwork, sconces everything. Great job! Congratulations!  
Pete Thomas Construction
  Amy is awesome!!! I have worked with her on numerous projects both residential and commercial over the last 5 years. She does a great job transforming her clients ideas into reality. She is also very detail oriented!  
Kevin S,
  SO beautiful, Amy. WOW! Will forward these pics in to corporate. Thanks so much for sharing all of these. I seldom get to see the finished projects unless there is an issue, so this is really a treat. Personally, I think I would have looked at that sofa and chair and just burned them both at the stake, but I guess that’s why I’m on this side of the business. You had a vision and saw it through to fruition. You really should think about getting these before and after shots published, as you’ve completely transformed the look of the room by updating the furniture upholstery and making other minor changes. But what a difference! Congrats! OMG—Thanks so much for sharing! I never get to see the finished results, and this looks so beautiful. Clean and calming—just the way I like it! Can’t wait to show everyone on staff! Congrats on completing a beautiful project!

  Amy has been a client of Walker Zanger’s for many years. As a Showroom Associate, I have always enjoyed working with her and her clients in the showroom. Amy exudes professionalism and is an extremely detail oriented designer. It is detail oriented designers, such as Amy, that create the most beautiful spaces with our stone and tile. It’s always a pleasure to work with her and see her designs come to life.

  I work at Ferguson where Amy selects her plumbing, lighting and hardware fixtures with her customers. Amy is a great mentor and designer for every customer’s job. She is very detail oriented and always creates beautiful results. I highly recommend Amy and Design Perspectives to update any space you may have.

  Amy…once again, you’ve done an AMAZING job! I am especially fond of the Florko in silver that you have hanging. Absolutely spectacular, in every sense of the word. Thank you for sharing!

Staging (Realtor)

Nancy Dennis
  I have worked with Amy on many projects, getting my properties brought up to date or staged for listing. With her expertise and advice she has helped me tremendously, and helped put multiple dollars back into my clients pockets. I highly recommend Amy for her keen sense of what buyers are looking for in today’s market, and for updating a home just because the owners want a fresh new look.  
Nancy Croney
  Amy worked diligently with the client (my seller) and not only offered suggestions but implemented the plan and arranged for the leasing of additional items to further enhance this lovely home. She is tireless and creative and will work hard to get the job done. Year first hired: 2010. Top Qualities: Expert, On Time, Creative.  
Carol Russo
  Amy, You did an exceptional job. The home looks totally updated and right out of a magazine. The tour went so well today. Everyone commented that the home showed beautifully. We are re-shooting photography at 9AM tomorrow! Thanks for your efforts!  
Arlene Kerley
 

I have worked with Design Perspectives LLC on a number of listings over the last 8-10 years that needed professional home staging prior to listing. Amy was very organized, she presented her services to the client in a professional manner, and followed through by providing a beautifully staged home.

Thanks so much for all you did for my sellers. Their home looks fabulous. They are very pleased and I am too! UNDER CONTRACT IN 3 DAYS! NICE JOB AMY! BRENDA LOVES HER "NEW' HOME. Thanks for all your efforts. I'm very happy to have you working with me as part of the team to get my clients homes sold quickly. The home looks so much better. A big transformation. The media room looks like a media room now. The Nuttall’s were so pleased when they gave me the tour. Very Happy! They both thanked me for recommending you:) Tim said it was well worth whatever they paid.....he is very cost conscious but does recognize quality and the value of quality. Thanks again for your hard work. The Sturgis home looks fantastic. Even the photographer complimented her on it. The Sulot’s home looks so much better - the staging moved it from the tired past into the present with updated accessories, etc. Dining room and living room look great. Nice accents in the kitchen and bath. Memorabilia is hidden, too. Thanks so much for all of your efforts. The home is under contract now just 5 days after listing! Thanks for all of your staging expertise. Don and Cyndy are very happy.  
Alicia Young
  The Sale went great! 2 days, multiple offers, over list price. Still getting calls! I can't get over how good that house feels now. What a transformation! Thank you! From the homeowner: Thank you for your awesome service on our house!  
Kathy Glenn
  Julie and Sean were so pleased with all you did yesterday. Julie was absolutely thrilled and said she would recommend you to EVERYBODY!!  
  We listed the house on the market last Tuesday and received an offer on Friday. We received fabulous reviews from the other agents about how nice the house showed. You did an amazing job!  
Janice Gauntt
  We sold in one day, zero really, even before the MLS listing. The staging and furniture placement made all the difference.  
Pam Earnest
  You are a treasure! I have been at the house all morning taking pictures, getting ready to put the home on the market. The home looks amazing, many, many thanks! Will you come to my own home next?  
Pam Taeckens
  The suggestions Amy made had a huge impact. I'm convinced we sold my home faster and for more money than we would have without her help. I recommend her to my friends and clients and will use her again in the future.

Karen W
  Amy did an amazing job! She was very professional and the improvement in the look and feel of our home was beyond what I could have imagined. My only regret is that I wish I had contacted her sooner!  
Dayna B
  Love it !! You do such AMAZING work. Some rooms you change only paint and one other item.....others you just move and remove a 'few things' and it's like the 'perfect decorating fairy' came for one night and........Presto ... Architectural Digest did a photo shoot.  
Marie C
  Five Stars: I needed to upgrade my house to get it ready to sell. My realtor recommended Amy and she was able to turn my house into a very nice looking "modern" home. She and her staff were very trustworthy and efficient. Amy has a great eye for color and style. I could never have done this without her. Thanks Amy!!  
Ryan S
  Thank you Amy! We learned a tremendous amount in just 5 hours. I will always remember many of the key points you taught us regarding staging. There is no doubt our house is more marketable as a result of your talents and efforts. We are officially under contract and our sales price exceeded asking by $5,000!! Thank you!  
DeWayne S
  4 or 5 offers first week on market.

  Amy has staged my current home. She is currently redecorating my new home and I am very pleased with her and she is coming with very good ideas. I think what she is charging for her fees is very reasonable. So with her you will not go wrong."
