Revive Home Design

Amazing outcome overall! We are incredibly fortunate to have Amee and her expertise and ideas to help us decide what we want for our kitchen, master, hall bathroom, and powder room, all at an affordable price! Additionally, the wife and I couldn't be happier with the quality of work and the valuable time spent to get things right the first time! If there is ever a need for another home renovation, specifically ideas and thorough vision, I will choose her again in a heartbeat! It was always a great time working with her! Highly recommend!

I cannot put into words how grateful we are for Amees assistance, but I will do my best to paint the picture. I feel weird calling it services, because it honestly felt like a friend with expertise helping us navigate things we didnt even realize/consider. For those tldr; folks, heres how Id describe some of the highlights: Personable, Attentive to Desires, Fun, Responsive, 3D Digital Renderings, Resourceful, Wealth of Design Knowledge, Mood Boards. The long story.. We were doing a full gut renovation (over 1yr), which gave us the opportunity to choose what we wanted everywhere - both a blessing and a curse. My wife and I have eclectic design preferences - well, Im actually more on the tacky side, but generally my wife leans toward flow, aesthetics, feel and I lean towards function. We closed on our renovation loan and marched over to start choosing our selections for flooring and 2hrs later, we left panic texting our General Contractor for assistance, and that began our journey with Amee. Disclaimer: I am admittedly frugal because why should I pay someone to help me choose what I like, right? But spending 2hrs to feel further away from a decision warranted help, functionally speaking of course. We met with Amee and our GC before demolition even started. Through the process, Amee essentially facilitated all selection conversations with us and our GC - made sure we were on schedule, provided us with options per the GCs recommendations, and if we wanted something different, Amee had other sources for vendors and experience with the products. We started off only wanting a digital rendering for a couple of rooms (kitchen and master bath), since again, Im cheap. After we saw what she was able to do, and how nice it was to help us narrow down our choices, we ended up doing digital renderings for more rooms and spaces. She also met with the subcontractors when needed and communicated any modifications, changes and expectations. Between choosing cabinets, colors, flooring, tiles, fixtures, mirrors, lights, knobs, ..there is so much.. Amee was there from abstract wishes to final installation. I work remotely and even with our new house a mile away, I did not have time to be on site as frequently and abruptly as Amee was. On top of her being available, shes clearly done this enough to know whats physically possible for a space, which you cannot just get by looking at pinterest or etsy for an hour. Often my wife and I would either discuss or have a couple of photos of what we liked, and then Amee would run with it from there. My wife and Amee would start bouncing ideas off of each other like a game of ping pong, which honestly seemed like they were speaking a different language. That was another aspect that I hadnt really considered before, but having two people on the same page really resulted in a better finished product, because I was no help - I was merely there for the tacky selection and occasional laugh. For the sake of the project, there was a time that Amee did extra renderings to help us figure out the layout, and they were so helpful I insisted on making sure she bill us for it - the work, commitment, and quality are all that good - and did I mention Im cheap? Its an odd saying, but so many times the thought came to mind, Amee is worth the weight in gold. Anyhow, its been nearly 1 year since our journey began and now we are getting ready to move in. We are so happy how everything looks and feels that we asked if Amee would be willing to continue working with us on our furniture and layout selections (she said yes!). I can say that building/renovating is a long taxing emotional process, but all things considered, my wife and I are still married, we have an incredible forever home, and if/when we need that upgrade, I whole-heartedly feel like we have a friend to request assistance from.
