Dina Pristouris, Ethan Allen Danbury

I've been working with Dina for the past 6 years on two ongoing projects—a lake home in Putnam County and an apartment in Manhattan. Both locations have a different aesthetic and Dina created two distinct and beautiful experiences. Whether it was picking a paint color, a lamp, a piece of art, fabric, designing a new room, or advising on built-ins, Dina understood my vision and took it to a new level each time. Everything she touched came to life in a way I couldn’t have imagined. Her eye for detail and her expertise at picking just the right color and pattern made every area pop in just the right way. At times, we were designing both locations simultaneously and Dina had to take into account my overall budget. She advised where money should be spent and where budget-conscious solutions would work just as well. For instance, instead of purchasing approximately 30 custom-made pillows, she advised buying just the fabric so I could make them myself (with the help of some friends:). Dina is simply amazing to work with. For any new design needs, I don’t make a move without bringing her in as she always knows what works or doesn’t work.

I loved working with Dina. She’s an amazing and talented designer. She helped design my home after an extensive renovation....I needed to furnish many rooms. She listened to what I wanted, and suggested ideas based on our conversations and meetings. Her creative sense of style made my home look fabulous. It was a pleasure working with her and I would recommend Dina highly.

Dina is beyond amazing. She helped us with our need and made amazing added suggestions that fit our style exactly. Now we have a wish list of more and more.

Dina helped me create the dining room I wanted. She listened to my thoughts and ideas. Dina walked me through ideas and choices. Then she went to work and created an exceptionally inspirational design. We met and Dina has everything layed out for me to see. Fabric, wood choices, lighting and even paint colors. The room has become my favorite place to relax. The room is simply beautiful! My husband loves it too! Thank you Dina. At the end of the project I felt like Dina was a close friend.
