"Arlene is first and foremost an artist. Her ideas are unique and result from a careful scrutiny all the aspects of the job at hand. she blends the newest of the new with the traditional, with a very pleasing result. I think what has impressed me most is her ability to adapt her art to fit my personality and needs. Indeed this is her great talent.

"(Arlene) is flexible and easy to work with. ..." see full comment

"It is my pleasure to serve as a reference for Arlene Bobb's firm Designing Woman Interiors.

"Arlene is the consummate professional. She is organized, responsive, and follows through on the requests of her clients. Arlene is willing to go the 'extra mile' to ensure client satisfaction. She has excellent taste and presents a diverse range of decorating options but always gives the client the ability to choose what that want and need. She is flexible and easy to work with. Arlene is making our move into the Corinthian both exciting and fulfilling. I highly recommend her services."

"I couldn't afford to buy additional furniture right now and I wanted the room to be arranged into two areas. ..." see full comment

"I am pleased to comment on the work you did on the living room, kitchen, hall and stairs in my condo:
Arlene had decorated my close friend's condo and I was very pleased with the results. I contacted Arlene to ask her if she would help me redesign the large living room in my condo. I'd inherited some furniture from my parents and I had a few pieces of my own. I told her I wanted to use everything, I didn't want to get rid of anything, I couldn't afford to buy any furniture right now and I would like the room to be arranged into two areas: an area for entertaining and another area for computer work and paying bills. (I have two desks.) I asked that neither desk face the wall.

"Arlene created the two areas in my living room that I had requested in a most interesting and wonderful way. She made the areas look very spacious and extremely attractive. She also hung my pictures in very artful groupings, in not only the living room but also in the hall, stairway and kitchen. It is elating to be on the top floor of my condo.

"I highly recommend Arlene as a designer. She did her work in a very creative way but at all times stayed within the limits I asked of her (see above), within 4 hours, a very reasonable amount of time considering the amount of furniture I have. One of her great strengths, besides being artistic and easy to work with, is her ability to carry out the wishes of the owner."

"Arlene's ideas are great! Her formal artistic training, coupled with her decorative and communication skills, add up to a successful home decorating partnership experience.

"I have been fortunate to have had the benefit of Arlene's expertise on three occasions. The first was immediately after I moved into my condo and needed window treatments. Arlene enthusaistly dealt with this modest decorating need, even though there were many more issues requiring attention, and I was very pleased with the results she achieved.

"The second experience occurred about a year later when I decided to paint the major part of the house: living room, dining room, and kitchen. Again, Arlene helped to create areas in my home that are beautiful as well as comfortable, rearranging existing furniture and art.

"Two years later, I decided to change the flooring in the living room, dining room, and kitchen and redecorate my bedroom. I knew exactly who to call. The result is spectacular!

"Arlene is easy to work with and a pleasant person to be with. She is extremely talented and responsive to client needs. Anyone would be lucky to have Arlene as a decorating partner."

"How do you do it? How do you make a client feel like a queen moving into a palace? Caringly and competently. ... With your knowledge, experience, and flawless taste, I know I can't lose. ..." see full comment

"Leaving home I've lived in for nearly twenty-eight years isn't easy, particularly when I'm leaving alone. Even moving to a new luxurious condominium wasn't enough to offset the sadness and disorientation I was experiencing. There were too many unpleasant decisions to make about the dismantling of my home and too many challenging questions about various aspects of my future residence. When people asked me if I was excited about moving, I couldn't even feign enthusiasm. It seemed perfectly fitting that the weather was miserable the night the Corinthian had it's first official get-together for its current buyers. I almost didn't go. Only curiosity about my future neighbors motivated me to attend. And, I'm so glad I did because that's where I met you, my fairy godmother. Though you're much younger and more elegant than 'Dorothy's Good Witch', in many ways, your powers are the same. You have transformed my ordeal into delightful project. With your input about what I should take and what I should supplement, I knew how to proceed. Your ideas for placing furniture are more than just sensible; they are stylish and satisfying. When you talk about fabrics and colors, your genuine appreciation of quality and beauty is contagious. I would have to be made of stone not to feel your delight as a piece of furniture with the right dimensions, color, design, and texture emerges--or as a room with furniture, floor coverings, and window treatments takes shape.

"How do you do it? How do you make a client feel like a queen moving into a palace? Caringly and competently. It is not an accident. You obviously make a special effort to get to know your client's needs, budget, priorities, and stylistic preferences. With your knowledge, experience, and flawless taste, I know I can't lose.

"When I've been hesitant about a particular suggestion, you've always found an alternative that had my approval, if not my blessing. During the past few months I've been working with you, I've observed there is no such thing as impossible. If one idea doesn't pan out, an even better one materializes. The most exciting moments are those when you announce the location of an illusive fabric or carpet or the solution to an annoying problem. You're like the winner of a lottery. How wonderful that you should care so much!

"Every time I know you are coming over to discuss the decor of a room in my condo, my spirit soars. I can't wait to get home. No matter how tired I am after a long day of work, the time we spend together is enlightening, productive, and fun!

"I feel as though you've given me a pair of ruby red shoes to help me accompany you down the 'yellow brick road.' The closer we get to the unveiling of the rainbow, the more convinced I am of your wizardry. I feel confident that my condominium will not only reflect a harmonious compilation for my old life and my new--but serve as a relaxing retreat and an exciting launching pad for the next stage of my life.

"Your expertise, talent, creativity, flexibility, reliability, warmth, and charm are just a few of your winning traits that make you a pleasure to work with and a joy to know. Thank you ever so much for your impeccable guidance, growing friendship, and 100% discount on my custom made ruby red shoes."
