We’re snowbirds who recently completed a project with Helen Burch at Living Space Designs. Three baths were gut rehabbed, a walk-in closet was fitted out, and storage cabinets were added to the garage. Helen’s design was excellent, achieving all our goals, and adding some striking elements to their appearance that have wowed the guests who had seen the “before.” As a designer, her taste is impeccable and her knowledge of products and where to acquire them economically is vast. In addition, as an experienced contractor herself, she is aware of the issues that impact costs and can apply practical knowledge as well as design sense. Where she also helped us tremendously was as a contractor. It turned out that the contractor we used had taken on far too many jobs this past summer, and delegated to staff that were more destruction than construction squads. When we arrived here in the fall, expecting the job to be almost complete since it was promised to be done by August, we discovered our contractor was barely half done, if that, and much of what his people did was defective and needed to be redone. We fired him, and Helen said she would take over. It still took a while because we were an unexpected addition to her schedule, but her team was fantastic, doing great work, accommodating of our schedules, and attentive to our requests. We enthusiastically recommend Living Spaces Design for design, construction, or both.

I can’t recommend Living Space Designs more. Over the summer they remodeled three of our four bathrooms. They were so easy to work with and had great ideas. The best thing about them is they do everything from designing to finishing touches. We were living in Minnesota over the summer. Working with them over the phone was great, and they were always available when I had questions or wanted photos etc. We are completely happy with the bathrooms. They are beautiful and expertly finished. Five stars for them ❤️

Helen Burch and Amy Vargas at Living Space Designs are AWESOME kitchen designers who helped us achieve the kitchen design and build that we had envisioned – simply an amazing outcome! Living Space Designs provided common sense value with an eye for quality within our target budget. Design process was iterative and professional, which led to a highly functional kitchen with the sleek modern European style we were going for. As a design/build small business, they provided the expertise and advice we needed for the custom outcome we achieved. The overall design is thoughtful, and most importantly, works extremely well in our space using a variety of cabinet inserts, a complementary plumbing design, and mid range appliances (Cafe, LG, Bosch). Construction and installation was managed by Patrick Talley of Home Provisions, LLC, who worked directly with Helen and Amy to coordinate the build. Communication was excellent between Helen, Patrick, my wife and I using texting, email, and phone calls. The subcontractors were polite and competent with Patrick making sure that we were satisfied with the quality of workmanship, which meant he often would jump in himself to get it done right. Kudos goes to Helen, Amy, Patrick, and the Living Space Designs support staff for their attention to detail and professional service – job well done!

I want to thank Helen and her team for taking such good care of us. We moved into a beautiful house a year ago and realized that we could not cook in the kitchen. There was nothing wrong with the cabinets or the appliances, but I could not cook in the kitchen without my husband being in the way. I contacted Living Space Designs, and they designed a wonderful, functional kitchen for us. The design is something I could not have imagined, and the communication was great.

Living Space Designs did an awesome job on our kitchen renovation. From our first meeting with Helen I felt I was in good hands. There are a lot of people you come in contact with during a remodel and Living Spaces has built a great team. We look forward to our next project with them. Love you all. Debbie and Garry

Helen has been wonderful. She has instilled a strong service orientation in her practice and her team has demonstrated that spirit in all their interactions with us. The strength of LSD is the integrated service from planning to installation. They made every effort to assure their design worked for us. Helen takes her design cue from her client and works closely with every phase to make sure the client is satisfied. During these trying times when supplies and design items were backed up or not available, Helen worked tirelessly to shorten delays and provide alternatives when necessary. We are very satisfied with LSD, Helen and her team.

Living Space Designs totally redesigned our kitchen and guest bath, and did major upgrades to our master bath and laundry room. And because they are creative in their approach and excellent at design, they gave us the idea of repurposing our kitchen cabinets, which they replaced, so we could add the old kitchen cabinets to the garage. They also redesigned the layout of our great room and designed a new fireplace unit. We recently moved from Chicago where we had 2 major renovations in our condo over the course of 15 years. While we were happy with those, we know have a new standard of excellence since working with Living Space Design! Helen and her team have been fabulous from the design/inception to execution of the project. And in addition to the interior design work we have received, we have received countless interior decorating tips and support, helping with lighting, art, etc. ! The team is always responsive and customer focused. And very important to my husband and me is that in addition to being competent and customer focused, the team can always find a solution to any challenge or issue that emerges– which is inevitable in any large project. Living Space Design is talented, extremely competent, and smart in how they approach the work. We are grateful to have been referred to them after moving here from Chicago.

I’ve always believed that a contractor should say what they will do and do what they say. This is not the case with Living Space Designs. In their first email to us, they said, “We keep designing until you are 100% satisfied. We paid the design deposit, had three appointments and were close to finalizing the design. They sent us (via email) the latest design and cost estimate. We emailed them back a few questions and their response was, “We just are not equipped to handle any more work at this time and we will refund you, your deposit.” Really? Dropped us just like that! We asked them to reconsider but got no response. At least they did send us a check for the deposit (and it didn’t bounce).
