Design Discovery ltd

We met with Dee to discuss redoing our utility room. We soon found that we were so in sync that the project escalated to most of our house. I cannot imagine not doing the improvements. Our house is now a cohesive home. We love everything about it. Dee made us feel like we were her only client. We have recommended her to all of our friends!

I have had the blessing of working with Dee Schlagel for over a year now. She is the second designer I have ever hired and by far the best! I am a fast pace hard working woman and struggle to find any person who can keep up with me or do as good of a job as I would do. Dee puts me to shame! She is beyond thorough, thinks of things I would never have thought of and is persistent. She holds our workers accountable and makes it all happen when others say it can't be done. We have worked together for hundreds of hours this year getting our kitchen and sunroom just perfect and I have enjoyed every minute with her. She is the perfect fit for us and truly listens to what we want. My husband and I have different styles and Dee is able to find middle ground to where we are both in love with the finished products. I always smile when I talk to her and would actually love to work for her even though I am visually design challenged. :) Hiring Dee has been one of the best hires we have ever made. She's just fabulous!

I had the distinct pleasure to hire and work with Dee Schlagel of Design Discovery last Fall for my bathroom renovation. Dee listened to my needs and concerns and really had a good understanding of my design aesthetic and what I wanted to accomplish. She always brought me well thought out and creative choices in finishes, materials and designs. Dee has the perfect combination of problem solving, project management skills mixed with a great, detail oriented design eye. The result was a gorgeous bath brought in on time and on budget.

With her instinct for good design, Dee incorporated my ideas into a vision of my cottage living room that exceeded anything I could have imagined! A true professional, Dee is also down to earth, easy to work with and fun to shop with. I plan to use her services again to design an outdoor living area and cottage garden. There is no substitute for talent and Dee Schaglel is a natural.

We loved working with Design Discovery ltd on several different home improvement projects and would call them again with any new project no matter how big or small. We had work done in our family room that included a new masonry fireplace, new wood floors and window treatments. Dee helped secure the best contractors for the work. They were highly skilled and the prices were competitive. In addition to finding the right people Dee has an eye for style. She helped with picking out furniture, rugs, paint color etc. paying attention to every single detail. Dee assisted us with a bathroom project, office project and the family room. She is an expert at her craft and has contacts and resources galore! She was a joy to work with!

Dee transformed a small 1967 house into my lovely home. After retiring, I needed a home that was comfortable, beautiful and an easy space for entertaining. Dee has consulted on almost every room in our home but created designs for the living room, family room, dining room and guest bedroom. She has always been able to stay within our modest budget. Dee is an endless source of education and enthusiasm for me! She was so adept at providing lovely designs that were functional, affordable and excellent quality. Although my husband and I didn't always have clear or similar ideas, Dee was able to mediate and translate them into just what we wanted. She worked with pieces we didn't want to replace and brought each room together into a harmonious space. I recommend Dee's expertise, professionalism and joie de vivre!

I have hired Dee of Design Discovery for numerous projects over the years. She is very talented with a wonderful eye for color. She has made suggestions that we never would have come up with on our own. Our home is a lovelier place thanks to Dee.

We have worked with Dee Schlagel of Design Discovery for several years and always been more than pleased with the results that she helps us to achieve for our customers. Her attention to detail, texture and color leave us more time for making cabinets and cutting wood. Her guidance to one of our favorite clients on a recent bathroom remodel with tile choices, window treatments and paint colors was absolutely breath taking even before it was completely finished and the customers were thrilled with how the project came together. Our clients come to us with projects that are very small to whole houses and Dee has been able to help with all of them with respect to size and budget. We look forward to every project that Dee joins us with because I know it is going to make our jobs easier and look better when they are completed! David Winchell Winchell Woodworking and Remodeling

I have used Design Discovery several times. Dee is energetic and enthusiastic about every project. She works with skilled craftsmen to complete remodeling jobs. We did a dining room and powder room. She personally checks on the contractors making sure they are keeping to the time schedule and that the work is top notch. She maintains the highest standards for outcomes. Dee takes her cues from the client and makes any idea a possibility. From choosing colors, fabric, tile, flooring, and fixtures, finding the "just right" carpet or piece of furniture to suggestions for matting and framing the final touches, Dee taps into her myriad sources and pulls it all together. We have been extremely satisfied.

We are so pleased with our completed walk out basement! Every stage of the project was seamless because of your guidance. The floor plan you designed works so perfectly. My family loves all of the features we included in the bar and the theater. The trim design and extra details you advised us to do, made all the difference in the world! Our friends have raved about the flawless deign. The furniture choices and furniture placement are spectacular! We are so pleased with our new finished basement. It was a true honor with work with such a professional! Can't wait to start the next project ... a new kitchen!

I have worked with Design Discovery on several projects over the past 4 years, including kitchen, bedroom and bath. Dee Schlagel has been excellent to work with. Her sense of color and design are excellent and at the same time her ideas are practical and usable for everyday living in my home. We still greatly enjoy and feel good about the selections she helped us with several years ago - they stand the test of time. It is helpful that Dee is very experienced, has many contacts and sources, and enjoys finding the right design solutions for each project, tailored just for your needs.

Just about every major or minor decorating project was supervised by Design Discovery. These include the living room, master bath, and dining room. The master bath was a complete redesign. The living room fireplace turned brick into a wooden finish and a gas firebox repaced wood. Wallpaper, drapes, lamps, tile, carpet, and paint choices were all a part one one or more home improvements. In addition to a fine eye for color and texture, the work done was skillful and meticulous.
