Ann C. Spooner Interior Designer

Ann Spooner has helped me decorate my house on numerous occasions. I have come to trust her judgement and her taste. She is knowledgeable, and has a keen sense of what works. On this recent job, she supplied color and fabric choices for my family room furniture and provided suggestions for ways to store equipment. I would want no one else to help me with interior design than Ann Spooner.

I have worked with Ann Spooner for many years and I know her to be a trustworthy person of integrity and honesty who does quality work. In the past, she has helped me with window treatments, color selection, and fabrics, etc. so when I had a really tough job, I hired her for our mud room makeover. On impulse, we had purchased second-hand cabinets that were a close match to ones we had. We wanted her to use them in the design and we wanted a multi-functional room—for laundry, an extra sink, bar set up for parties, pet supplies, and other storage and a full-size freezer. I don’t know how she managed it but the design is perfect. The space looks larger and much prettier (a wall was removed around the washer and dryer) and we somehow got everything we wanted in a timely manner with a limited budget. We are delighted with our new room. Thank you Ann, we couldn’t be happier.

Ann Spooner has worked on several projects for me, including furniture selection and placement as well as selecting carpet and upholstery, and choosing paint colors throughout my home. Ann devised a clever painting technique to create a focal point in my living room by showcasing an intricate design in the brickwork of the fireplace surround that I had never even noticed before! Ann also designed and created a stunning pass-through bar/counter/cabinet with glass doors and shelves and interior lighting to display my china collection. She chose cabinet colors inside and out to harmonize with the dishes and really make them pop. Ann also recommended crown molding in my living/dining room that made my home seem much more stately and impactful upon entering. She also designed a lovely vanity/sink combo and selected floor, wall and countertop for a tiny new powder room with a vessel sink. The sophisticated colors and unique hardware made this one of my favorite rooms. This is a house built in 1928, and Ann has a wonderful knack for blending the old and the new to bring things up to date without sacrificing the character of the home. Working with Ann was a wonderful experience as she is very attentive to every last detail resulting in a finished product that is polished and chic.

I had the opportunity to work with Ann on a number of projects at Loyola University Maryland in my capacity as Assistant to the President. These projects included a variety of upscale remodeling and redecorating in the President’s on-campus residence such as the living room, dining room, den, home office, guest suites and bathrooms. The results were outstanding. Working with Ann was a very collaborative process. She listens to the client in identifying how the space will be used, determining the desired results, and welcomes input from the client so that the results reflect the client's taste and are appropriate to the space. Ann is also very skilled in addressing the needs of the business client. I worked with her on a project to renovate the second floor of the Humanities Building, an historic Victorian-era building located in the middle of the Loyola campus. This space was converted to use as offices for the President of the University and his immediate staff. This project involved completely gutting the the area to create the office space. The resulting offices were sophisticated, comfortable and decorated in a style compatible with this unique building. Ann is particularly talented in choosing colors. She is very attentive to details, works well with the trades, and is diligent about keeping projects on-schedule and on-budget. The results are always first-class. I always received very positive feedback and compliments on Ann’s work. Working with Ann has been a pleasure, and I would highly recommend Ann C. Spooner Interior Designs for any type of interior design project. Vicki J. Weller Assistant to the President (retired) Loyola University Maryland (1994 - 2014)

I recall with pleasure, working with Ann in 2009 and 2010. She is skilled, creative, met deadlines and budgets, and tuned in to my tastes in décor, as well. A fun experience, as she is one of the best! Judy Welch Huntingtown, MD

Ann was hired to help design a storage wall around the fireplace to house some Asian pieces. Since it is a rental home in a resort area, security was an issue as well. The result was a spectacular combination of locking glass front cabinets with lighting and open drawer storage that allowed the beautiful pieces to be enjoyed. Ann even found fabulous one-of-a-kind locks that look oriental and although work beautifully, don't scream " I'm a locked cabinet"! Because of this success, Ann came back to work on the kitchen renovation. She provided excellent ideas for the backsplash detail, cabinets options and granite samples. With the Asian pieces in the great room, adding a dash of red was the perfect path. Rather than simply using it in a standard fashion on the backsplash, Ann pushed the envelope with white cabinets above the counter and a gorgeous red on all the cabinets beneath. The kitchen creates a beautiful statement and ties the whole house together. She also provided the finishing touches of light fixtures, window blinds and even chose the pieces for display in the upper glass display cabinets. Ann created the perfect kitchen and fireplace wall to provide a spectacular great room! I would hire Ann most happily for any interior design project.

Ann Spooner helped me with several design projects including the installation of new blinds for various rooms in my house, selection of paint colors, and placement of furniture. She has a great eye for color and ensured that the colors used in each room flowed together seamlessly. Ann is thoughtful and works to understand you needs before helping to craft a vision for your space. I'm pleased with her work and would hire her again.
