Take 2 Design Management

Christine and her team were absolutely amazing to work with. In short, they were professional, fun, responsive, flexible and creative. We always felt like they had our back.

Our renovation involved an addition to a century-old home, and we left some of the existing character, so we needed help with blending old and new into a cohesive design. Christine and Jan had a major impact from their first visit, where they saw us for just a short time living and working in the existing house, and gently suggested some design changes to the architectural drawings we'd had done previously. This ending up creating a whole office space that we hadn't initially planned for with no change to the footprint. They demonstrated their functional and creative design skill on a macro level in this way, and also their detailed design skills throughout the project on all the many finishes and fixtures they helped select and order. Christine presented ideas, but also listened to ours and quickly got a sense of our preferred style choices, while offering constructive honest feedback. We are back in the house now and love the results.

Beyond design, Christine was essential in helping us work with our contractor and trades. It was our first reno, and we quickly learned that it is a chaotic process with the need for clear communication among several parties, all while being organized yet flexible when challenges arose. Christine was vital in bringing this to our project. She somehow walked a line of calm and energy, and was a sounding board whenever we needed it most. She explained the basics, advocated on our behalf and alleviated stress.

I can't recommend Take2 Design enough.
