Client Testimonials
Sandy & Debra Vasser
"Debra Abercrombie has been our advisor on every aspect of the interior and exterior design of our new construction retirement home. She advised and coordinated the selection of appliances, fireplaces, fireplace surrounds, cabinets, lighting, plumbing fixtures, countertops, backsplashes, flooring, window coverings, decking, railing, stucco, tile, stone, paint colors, furniture and area rugs. Her firm is truly a full- service provider. She has developed strong professional relationships with providers for each of these items. These providers provide high quality products at a fair price. Debra’s clients benefit from the positive relationships she has with the suppliers.
Debra asked many questions to understand our preferences and desires and offered solutions consistent with our preferences and desires. She listened to our thoughts, likes and dislikes. We emphasized we had a budget for our retirement home and Debra advised on selections to remain within our budget. She did not simply find sources for these items but sources that provide high quality products at a fair price. Additionally, she identified and work with our selected suppliers to identify ways to lower costs.
It became clear during our interactions with Debra that she was making recommendations as though our house was her house. She was recommending what she would select if she was selecting and purchasing items for her own house.
It has been very enjoyable working with Debra. She is very client- focused. She has removed the stress, coordinated the details and made the effort exciting and fun. We have relied completely on the knowledge, experiences and professionalism offered by Debra. Debra responds quickly and completely to questions, comments and issues identified by her clients. Debra is very professional in working with clients, suppliers and contractors.
We would recommend Debra and her firm to anyone pursuing residential new construction, remodels and make-overs. We have also seen some of her commercial interior designs and she provides the same level of experience and knowledge that she offers to the residential business."

Debra has been invaluable in the building and design of our new home. She understood what style I was interested in, and always listened to my input so that it would be “my” home. Every appointment we went on she carried samples of everything I had selected, to make sure everything worked together. We were out of state for months at a time during the building process, and she handled every detail in our absence, and kept me in the loop as things progressed. She has a great eye for design and detail, and she clearly loves what she does. On top of her professionalism, she’s such a joy to spend time with. I will never build another house without Debra!

"When my husband and I decided that we wanted to remodel parts of our home, we decided that we needed the help of a designer to ensure our desired vision for our home was fulfilled. After seeing designs by Abercrombie Interior Design, Inc. in the Parade of Homes, we asked them to visit our house to discuss our remodel. Right from the first meeting I knew we had the right designers. They listened carefully to our thoughts, vision, likes, and dislikes. They asked questions to get a better understanding of our lifestyle, and discussed issues with form and functionality. We were looking at a major remodel that included a guest bathroom, powder room, master bathroom, and laundry room. We wanted reliable designers with a complete work crew that could complete the entire job without us having to contract with separate craftsmen. And that is exactly what Abercrombie Interior Design, Inc. provided.
From the start, their design ideas and suggestions were completely in sync with our goals and vision. One of the greatest values of working with them was how they helped narrow down choices for us. Our busy full-time work schedule did not lend itself to lots of running around looking at show rooms and design books. Instead of having to look at 100’s of fixtures and dozens of wallpaper books, they narrowed things down to select choices based on our conversations. Instead of stressing over paint colors, they suggested what would work, wouldn’t work, and why. When there was a rare miss they listened and came back with additional ideas and choices.
The designers collected all the material and construction bids and presented us with a detailed cost breakdown before work was begun. Then they worked with us to meet our budget and modified the design as needed before construction. Abercrombie Interior Design, Inc. was wonderful at finding design materials that gave us the look we wanted but still fit within our budget.
When it came to the actual remodel, the crews they hired were top notch. They have high quality standards for the construction work and their crews meet those standards. They coordinated the schedules of the craftsmen to ensure that work flowed continuously and on schedule. And when something was not done to their impeccable standards, they made sure it was corrected. Along the way, they continually made sure that my husband and I were happy with the ongoing work and the final outcome.
In summary, their sense of design, color, and use of materials turned our house into an elegant home. They transformed our master bath into a beautiful spa retreat. They took a completely non-functional laundry room and converted it into a mud room/laundry room with lots of storage that is now the envy of our friends. And it sounds silly but their selection of wallpaper for the powder room made that simple little room into a stunning show piece. I highly recommend their work and would do it all again with them in a heartbeat."

"Exquisite results! That is what we desired and received from award-winning designers from Abercrombie Interior Design, Inc. Never could we have imagined that working with these delightfully creative ladies could be so effortless and fulfilling! They did the work of listening to us and determining the best expression of our "style". We then watched as they carefully shaped our lovely house into a home. This was a work of heart for them, at times, because our previous home was destroyed in a devastating wildfire. Just the task of having another home built, and purchasing all of the furnishings needed for a new home, seemed overwhelming for us. They took the "hard" and replaced it with a smooth process of guiding us in making countless decisions. They were amazingly thoughtful and fully sensitive. Their expertise was exactly what we needed. The end result is a gorgeous home! We are thrilled and attribute that elation to our designers who made an incredible house become our home!"

"If you are looking for someone to help with your interior design, we highly recommend Abercrombie Interior Design, Inc. We have worked with these designers on two separate projects: when we finished our basement in 2007 and then again in 2012 after losing our home in the Waldo Canyon Fire. We loved the work they did for us on our basement finish, so it was an easy decision to work with them again when we decided to rebuild following the fire. They were a tremendous help as we faced the daunting task of rebuilding our home and replacing everything in it. They are a joy to work with! They get to know the client and the client’s taste. They are extremely professional, organized, and responsive. We love our new house, and we are so thankful to Abercrombie Interior Design, Inc. for helping us create a space that is beautiful, fits our lifestyle, and feels like home!"
