Reviews
Working with Carrie was a game-changer! Her staging made my home look incredible—stylish, inviting, and photo-ready. I’m convinced it helped sell the house quickly. She was professional, creative, and easy to work with. I can’t recommend her enough!
This designer is thief and incompetent. She does not communicate well. She would say she would be coming and then no show on multiple occasions. My gf or I would have to stay at home all day waiting for her and she would never show and then not answer any phone calls or text msgs. I dealt with her for 6 mos like this as she never completed the job and it was a constant back and forth and tons of excuses. When she would come by only one or two items were put up and then I would have to follow up every week asking when she will be returning only to find out there were furniture delays or some personal problem. She would pick replacements on her own and would just bring pictures or accents that I never saw. I paid $22,000 for furniture selection and decorating. I was quoted the job would be done in 2 mos and it was never completed in 6 mos about 7 items were never delivered and several items were dropped off damaged then she would blame my cats for the damage even though I would tell her the same day and send pictures. Look at the pics below do those dents look like a cat did that? The invoices never showed prices just a total and no contract or policy if an item is completely uncomfortable or damaged. She brought couches that should have been for 3 year olds. They were small and super stiff. Very uncomfortable then she became angry when I asked for a refund. I located my own couches b/c the one replacement she offered had a very cheap texture and would not be good for cats. She ended up replacing it with a dining table I picked out and never responded to me about the price difference. One of the lamps she dropped off doesn’t turn on. It was a constant battle with her and I honestly did not have any time for it as I am a nonprofit executive director and very busy. I ended up having to send her a demand letter with a warning that I would be suing if the job wasn’t completed and for the missing items. She finally emailed me nasty responses after 6 weeks of no contact prior to the demand letter, ran to my house, opened my garage when I wasn’t home, dropped some curtains off and $1000 check for the remaining missing items. In the demand letter I asked her to pay $1,600 even though it didn’t account for all the time I spent dealing with her. I also advised specifically not to come to my house and drop the check off or missing items at my office. But she did exactly what I told her not to do. So I didn’t get what was in the demand letter. Carrie was extremely unprofessional, egotistical, and incompetent. Moral of the story, don’t ever pay her or anyone up front. Wait until the job is done I was tied to this mess b/c I paid upfront and was forced to deal with her. I also recommend requesting a contract that stipulates what she does in the event of a broken item, replacement items, and items that are uncomfortable. Request itemized invoices with prices for each item not just a total at the bottom. Do not let her rush you! As she rushed my to write a $22k check so she could order furniture quickly and make a deadline that she never made.
Carrie did an AMAZING job staging a flip for our team. We are so grateful to her for her reliability, professionalism and creativity. We could not have accomplished the end result without her, and the results were even better than expected. You have to book Elegant by Design if you’re looking for beautiful staging done by a timely and friendly professional like Carrie. We will be using her in the future. 5/5
