Shepherd Interiors: Chicago and Rockford

Patty was totally involved in the re-do from start to finish. She was present at every delivery, installation, contractor job start, etc. Patty heard everything we said about what we liked, disliked, wanted to achieve. She even "heard" things we didn't say, and she "heard" correctly! She never pressured us in any decision we were making. She offered several options and then enthusiastically worked with our choices. She examined every item that came into our home to be sure it was exactly what we ordered and that there were no defects. When an area rug arrived with a flaw, she immediately called the company and requested a replacement. When our painter used a lower quality paint than she requested, she immediately saw the problem and called them to rectify the problem - at no additional cost to us and in a speedy time frame. Patty not only was an experienced professional from start to finish, but she became a "friend" in every sense of the word. We would strongly recommend her and will use her again to do several other rooms in our home. Mary Ann Akerman Roscoe IL

Patty is so creative. Her design form the chandeliers to the paint colors were amazing. She was great at incorporating some of the furniture we already had so we didn't have to purchase everything new.

Patty is thorough, creative, attentive to details, including what her customer is needing and wanting. She knows how to find the best for the least cost and make the most of it in helping with budgetary constraints if that is a concern. Her flare is evident in all she does, from little accent pieces, to the big overall look. She enjoys what she does and makes it fun for her client as well. She often becomes a friend in the process of designing a fabulous space/room/home. She does well with many different looks, pulling things together in unexpected ways for whatever style her client desires, from traditional to fun and a touch of wacky, from window treatments to furnishings to accent pieces. She is a delight to work with and the results show it!

Shepherd Interiors has helped us complete many home decorating projects; our living room and dining room, master bedroom and our first nursery. Patty always presents a few ideas based on our preferences, and then we work together to make it "ours". We love everything that she's helped us with, and will continue to use her for the rest of our home! (office, mudroom remodel, second nursery, etc.) She comes highly recommended from us!

I hired Shepherd Interiors to do a makeover in my living room. We met early on to discuss what my likes and dislikes were and went from there. Patricia came back with a presentation that was very professional and very detailed. It was a complete decorating job which included window coverings, art, furniture, paint and lamps. I told Shepherd Interiors from the beginning I wanted the WOW factor and that is exactly what I got and every time I entertain I get the same WOW from my guests. They were very reasonable and stayed on budget. I would definitely hire her again.
