“We hired Rachel to take the blank walls of our recently-renovated historic home and create a space that reflected our love of entertaining and our current child-rearing phase of life and work around odd elements like a yellow ceiling, a slightly regrettable sofa purchase, a giant 1800s safe and existing artwork. She quickly embraced our style and 18-months later we had a sunny, airy office; a cozy music-filled, fireplace-lit cocktail room; new window treatments throughout the space; and a gorgeous main bedroom and bathroom. She worked quickly, communicated schedule changes without delay and always had creative solutions when the project took an unexpected turn. All that and she rocks a pair of Converse like a boss!”

“The spaces which Rachel designed for us exceeded our expectations. Her ability to understand what we were hoping for, and translate this into a realistic, yet stunning design is such a fun process in which to be involved. What can't be visualized is the absolute ease and joy of working with Rachel. She is timely in her communications, she is transparent in her intentions, and she truly listens. Rachel has made our home into a remarkably welcoming, stylish, and comfortable place to spend our days.”

“We hired Rachel to help us during a big remodel. We were building two bathrooms, a bedroom, a closet, and a mudroom from scratch. Based on an initial discussion of what we were looking to do, she presented us with beautiful options for all of our spaces. She understood our personal style, even when we didn’t quite understand it ourselves, and took the stress out of the whole process. We were able to quickly trust her frank advice and excellent taste, and are so happy with the final products. We’ve since hired her for more jobs, big and small, and we wouldn’t do another house project without her.”

“Rachel is a truly incredible designer. She helped us with a renovation of our main floor--open kitchen, living room, dining room, playroom, and two bathrooms. She took my random ideas and preferences and put them into a coherent and beautiful design that is somehow both calm and vibrant (glossy red kitchen island). I really appreciated her ability to advise about where to spend and where to save. She was also a steadying resource for us throughout the renovation process. I have such confidence in every aspect of Rachel's work as an interior designer and would recommend her to anyone, for any job, with any style or budget.”

“Rachel did a masterful job transforming our Rhode Island beach house and its 40 year old furnishings. She has a way of walking into a room and knowing what can go and what can stay. We had two older pieces in the dining area - a breakfront and a bench - which had been painted deep blue. She worked with these, adding a fabric cushion to the bench and choosing a new cherry dining table and pairing it with deep blue chairs. She has a wonderful way with colors and fabrics and a great sense of dimension and space. She has formed relationships with Boston retailers and wholesalers and provided us with comfortable couches and chairs as well as new lighting, rugs, tables, etc. She had several things recovered and refurbished by a team she works with. We were able to meet with her in person and remotely. Rachel is organized and professional and to top it off, a delight to work with. She has my highest recommendation.”
