"I have worked along side Carla for several years and have always been amazed! From her ability to connect with her clients on a personal level and make them feel comfortable to her amazing space planning and eye for details, you will not be disappointed with her service. As a construction professional, I truly appreciate her eye for detail, not only for design, but for construction specifications. Her plans are highly detailed and incredibly easy to build from. I truly enjoy working with such a wonderful designer!"

"Carla communicates well. For example, my husband and I desired to use email to exchange ideas and thoughts as we encountered them with Carla; she was back with us within the same day. Also, during our meetings, we appreciated her listening ability and then addressing our brain storming ideas with several alternatives. We also sought Carla’s ideas and welcomed her perspective which is based on years of experience and her enthusiasm to research an area that needed further examination. In our view, Carla really cared and took ownership of our project."

"Carla Bast has helped us with many design projects throughout the years. From choosing paint colors, furniture and drapery purchases to decor. She has excellent taste and many resources to give her clients the best design choices. Carla stands behind the products she chooses for her clients. One of the pieces I bought was a leather ottoman that was well past the warranty. It turned out the leather was defective and Carla represented us so the manufacturer is replacing that ottoman. I am thrilled!!!! You will never be sorry for hiring Carla to help with any design project, large or small. She is a experienced and professional designer!"
