Happy Clients
“Barbara worked beautifully with us on a very time sensitive project. We were moving into our new house, while still marketing our old house. She quickly assessed our taste and needs and brought together a wide range of on point suggestions and samples that enabled us to make great decisions quickly. Barbara's excellent spatial skills and computer lay-outs were an invaluable guide to finding places for our previously owned furniture, while making great suggestions for new pieces. Barbara has an artists eye for pattern and color and brought together disparate fabrics and rugs that came together and made our house some to life. Because she is an experienced professional, she has access to sources and tradespeople that love working with her. She presented things to us that we never would have been able to access otherwise. And she brings energy, focus and creativity that made what can be a tedious process into a pleasure. She made the new home into OUR home.” - ACS, Client
Completed Projects
“Barbara led a complete redesign of our 1940-age home. They say a really good interior designer can knock it out of the park with any style. My style, as Barbara said, was Connecticut Conservative, and she did a fabulous job, even though her own personal style is modern, bright with whimsy. She was responsive, had great contractors, worked with speed but had attention to detail. I highly recommend her work.” - BMB, Client
“Barbara is wonderful to work with! Barbara listens to her clients and builds on each individual's style. She shares fabulous ideas that add amazing polish to the project. Barbara is very respectful of the budget and comes up with many options that allowed me to pick and choose at a variety of price points. In addition, Barbara came up with many creative ways to repurpose items in my home to refresh and finish the look. Barbara is well connected in the community and has the professional ties to get great tradesmen working to complete the project. Barbara is easy to work with and a lot of fun.” - KM, Client
“I love the design work I've had done by DeSalvo/Adamson! Barbara is incredibly creative and completely understands my style and what I want. I have the most beautiful jewel-box of a powder room, among other projects we've worked on together. I enthusiastically recommend her design services, and would most surely hire her firm again!” - CA, Client
“Barbara is an incredibly talented and creative designer, space planner and consultant. We have worked with her for many years in our home(s) and office(s) and she has always been able to come up with novel, eclectic ideas for us. She has never "forced" a certain style, color or taste on our remodels/refinishes. This is very important as we have a very eclectic style and Barbara is very cognizant of helping us to realize our sometimes unusual requests. i.e, creating 12 of the same upholstered chair but with 12 different fabrics. SO GREAT. (They can be seen on her website.) She has a great sense of humor and sense of professional which we deeply appreciate. We would highly recommend her for any project, large or small.” - DFW, Client
