Abigail Reames | Meridian Abbey Interiors

We could not be happier with Abigail's work. Earlier this year, we redid our kitchen - a COMPLETE gut job. Abigail's insight and eye for design were invaluable. She took a great deal of time to get to know us and our house, and recommended touches that we'd never have thought of, but made our kitchen gorgeous. She is not only profoundly talented, but professional and a delightful person. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Terrific, fantastic, awesome...those are just a few of the words that we can use to describe the job Abigail did for us. This was the first time we have used a Designer for a remodeling project and we found Abigail while researching interior designers online. She agreed to an introductory meeting with us so we could get to know each other and to see if we were comfortable moving forward. Abigail made a great first impression -- professional and courteous. We were sold on her to rework our kitchen. After we agreed to work together, Abigail took it from there keeping us in the loop and totally involved along the way. She was sensitive to our budget but gave us a realistic expectation of what our project would cost given what we wanted to do. She provided renderings of her vision for our kitchen and factored in the age of our home and the best fit for it. However, the final decision was ours with her input. We were fond of Abigail's approach to material selection. She listened to our wish list and provided multiple options for us along the way while still keeping budget in mind, as well as the look all of us agreed to and wanted. There was give and take along the way but we always talked through everything before a decision was made. Abigail was very patient and offered to visit and revisit several vendors with us as sometimes a decision on materials was hard to make. Her guidance to material selection was invaluable. During the project we noticed some cabinetry imperfections that we were displeased with and felt obligated to bring to Abigail's attention. To our surprise she was already aware of them, communicated to the vendor the product was flawed and had replacement parts ordered before we even spoke to her. That's just one example of Abigail's attention to quality and detail. While specific deadlines were not always met and which tried our patience at times, these were outside of Abigail's control. She would keep moving the ball forward in other project areas and kept us abreast of the new timeline. As they typically do with a large scale project, things will go awry at times with materials or contractors. Our anxiety level would ramp up when these situations occurred. When this happened, Abigail would talk us down from the ledge and help us keep things in perspective. We would recommend Abigail as a Designer for your new home or remodeling project and we intend to work with her on our own future remodeling projects. She is cordial, knowledgeable, and fun to work with.

When we decided to build a new kitchen, we had the size and shape of the kitchen space, but from there we were at a total loss of what to do. We called Abigail to help us create a design, and we never looked back. She designed a flow of the space that made sense. Her attention to the details from the cabinet styles, finishes, flooring, counter tops and window treatments changed our box into the hub of our home. We would highly recommend her for your project.
