We have a remodeled kitchen that Deb designed that is the envy of anyone who sees it. The remodel has added big value to our home for resale and is a beautiful spot for entertaining family and friends.

Deborah Goddard came to us highly recommended from numerous people, and we could not be happier with her skills as an architectural designer. Deborah coordinated the renovation of our entire first floor, including a major kitchen remodel. Deborah skillfully managed communication with our contractor and numerous vendors, as well as providing outstanding design services. She worked to create a beautiful, comfortable aesthetic that matched our preferences and our budget. We highly recommend Deborah Goddard.

My wife and I have had the benefit of working with Deborah Goddard on four homes. We wouldn’t consider working with anyone else. She has built a huge following of repeat clients over the years. It is easy to understand the strong customer loyalty. She is an artist with great academic credentials. She has a degree in interior architecture from the Art Institute of Chicago. She works with clients to achieve their goals in decorating or changes to interior architectural design. Many of our friends have worked with Deborah and are as pleased and loyal as we are. Money spent on her professional services will be the best money you spend on a home renovation.

We had an AWESOME experience working with Deborah Goddard for our kitchen and master bath remodel! We had very little experience with home renovations and she was there to guide us through every stage of the project. She has excellent contacts with vendors in the area and was always one step ahead and kept the project moving at a good pace. She has mastered the balance of respecting her clients’ vision while still offering her professional input on design. We could not be happier with the way our remodel turned out and with the overall experience, thanks to Deb!

My husband and I are very happy with our complete kitchen remodel that Deborah Goddard designed and project managed for us. She is very talented and experienced. She helped us create a space that was exactly what we were hoping for and more. She was extremely easy to work with, truly listened to what we wanted, mindful of our budget, and then she made it all happen. Walking into various stores, I could tell she is very well respected and whenever we changed direction a bit, she new exactly who to call to get it done. Remodeling projects are very stressful and overwhelming, but Deborah helped us through every decision and every phase of the project. I can’t imagine going to anyone else, now that we’ve experienced the best!

Deb Goddard is a wonderful interior designer. I bought a townhouse in Chicago that needed a lot of work. I told her I wanted it to be a “show house” and we have accomplished
that. She has a wonderful eye for color, details, and fabrics. It was important to me to use furniture and accessories that I already owned and mix them with updated items. Deb understood. My home is beautiful!

Deb was wonderful and my apartment is beautiful. She handled everything throughout the process, from design to construction to furniture and finishing touches. Being self admittedly overwhelmed by the apartment renovation process, Deb was the best choice. She quickly intuited what I wanted and delicately walked me through the renovation, widdling down most choices to an either/or option. The process was so seamless and the end product was exactly what I envisioned in my head.

Deborah is the most talented designer with whom I’ve ever worked. Her attention to detail is astounding, taste impeccable, and fluent in a wide range of styles.
She is a dedicated professional who delivers what is promised on-time and on-budget. She has relationships with an impressive roster of contractors and design professionals. While dealing with vendors and providers she always looks out for her clients and is great at managing any issues that may arise.

Deborah was very mindful of working within our budget while providing clear guidance on what colors, finishes, and patterns work together while providing an excellent design that is both very visually appealing and very functional. She has a very easy personality to work with and ensures even the smallest detail is attended to. I found this last part very helpful as this was the first time I remodeled a kitchen and that expert guidance was critical.

I would have absolutely no hesitation in hiring Deborah for any of our future projects. She has done work for us on our main level and our entire lower level. Our lower level was a complete redesign. Deborah was able to show us a design and layout that went way beyond what we could have ever come up with ourselves all while keeping with our personal style. Her ideas and designs were spot on what we were looking for and more. She is incredibly easy to work with and takes the time to listen to your concerns and ideas while also being honest about what works and what won’t. We had an unbelievable experience and now love our home more than ever!

Deb is very creative; always has a clear vision of what the finished design should be. She listens to our needs and works to coordinate the form and function. She navigates well with couples who have different styles to find a compromise that exceeds our expectations. She makes even the smallest project have a great impact.
All true! All we have said.

Deborah Goddard helped me with an entire renovation of my townhome. I could not have done it without her! She has a great eye for current trends and design. But I am most appreciative for her ability to foresee the flow of rooms and the placement of plumbing, appliances, and cabinets. Compliments flow from friends. I love my new home!

Deborah Goddard has been working on my decorating projects for over 24 years! Her taste is exquisite! I would not think of using another decorator! Not only does she have an amazing eye and vision, she knows how to make a client feel that they are really part of all the decisions (and she knows how to gently talk the client out of making a bad one!).

I have had the ultimate pleasure of working with Deborah on two of my homes, from the bottom up. She first assisted in making recommendations on the architectural designs. This was anything from window placement to room sizes. When the houses were in the framing stages, Deb did invaluable research on tile, plumbing and lighting fixtures, hard surfaces and so much more. This is an area where homeowners can make terrible mistakes. I know; I nearly did. And then it was time to really have some fun! I needed this very talented designer in making paint, furniture and its placement, and window treatment decisions. She designed innovative, gorgeous, drapery for a 6,500 sq ft home and then when we downsized. Both houses have been featured in local magazines. I particularly appreciated Deb’s ability to think decisions over carefully, considering how all the moving parts would come together. She is an incredible talent and such a joy to work with. Deb will be a part of any projects we do in the future, even if it’s out of state!
