Testimonials About Barbara

Having Barbara teach me about my palette of colors has truly been life changing! I used to feel uncomfortable in my house, but not know why. Now, with a few changes of color, I feel at peace. Knowing my colors I can also now walk into a store and find the exact color that will look good on me. I cannot express enough gratitude to Barbara for this education!

Amanda T., President of Moxie Girl, Phoenix AZ

I so LOVE what you did with the house. Three people who have been coming to my house for a while now, this was their first time noticing the small table in the “open pantry” as I call it. We are enjoying more eating at the dining room. Last night we put all the rugs in and you should see the difference that it made. So warm, I wish you could see it. Thank you so much for coming over and making the changes, it really opened up our house as well as inviting us back in to love our house. Again, thank you for your time and your advice.

Giangi T.

All is well and our home has become such a welcoming Haven for our family and friends. 

Gayle W., Scottsdale, AZ

Barbara helped us create a home environment that is truly a reflection of our lifestyle. She took us through a process in which we were able to refine our ideas and implement them with confidence.

Ricki & Ralph P., Phoenix, AZ

What a fun date with Barbara! Barb wanted us to go to Pier 1 and a few other stores to spice up my home and who would think that it would be exciting and fun?! As Barb motored through the store she selected items for my home knowing where it could be placed and if it would work! She knew my home better than I did from only seeing it one time! Wow!! Even more remarkable is when these items were delivered, they all looked outstanding in my home, making my house even more enjoyable to me! Barb has a great eye and a picture perfect memory. What an amazing woman! Anyone decorating should have the “BARBARA EXPERIENCE!”

Barbara Kaplan is a gifted and caring interior designer – for my home, and for me, personally. She helps nurture and empower a sense of purpose, which in turn, becomes reflected in the personal style and living spaces. She ALWAYS brings a fresh and unique perspective. Barbara’s Picks gives me a “go to” directory of her years of trusted relationships. It’s a joyous and optimistic experience working with Barbara, and if she trusts and recommends a business, I totally trust it as well!

Lisa G.,Urbandale, IA

I just want to tell you how impressed I am with your talent, patience, sense of humor, professionalism, and ability to turn out fabulous projects. Your clients are lucky to have you!

Elaine W.

As I read “The Bajaro Method”, I thought that the author’s understanding of the emotional impact of our environments was helpful.  At first I did not understand what Barbara Kaplan meant when she said that “Rooms don’t have feelings, you do.” Then, as I continued through the chapters, I had an “A-ha” moment. I came to a deeper understanding of how the design choices I make affect the emotions of the occupants. As a young designer, it is up to me to ask the right questions and make a healing, comforting and personal environment. I also have been inspired to look around my own home and think about what changes I want to make for myself and my family. I am pleased with the insight that I gained from reading this book.

Amy S., ASID Allied

My skill set doesn’t include any of those required to envision a beautiful and gracious home.  I want to open the door, walk in and have it be me and done.  How to get there, well, there was the rub!  I didn’t even know my colors, never even thought about them.   This is not to say that I was lazy and disinterested in everything.  I have my reason to be and I feel very comfortable in my role on the planet.  I just didn’t know at that time that I had any crossover skills.  Barbara was able to get me to focus, gently and lovingly, and to become interested in selecting fabrics and tasks of that sort.  Ultimately, all of the choices were mine and my husband’s.  I understand why I made each and everyone and I love it all.  Barbara’s gentle guidance opened me up to this new world that I tip toed in until I became comfortable.  Barbara was the “wind beneath my wings.”

Susan Y., Phoenix, AZ

I took the questionnaire from the Bajaro Method online and it really made me think about my home and what my preferences are.  I realized that my space is my sanctuary.  I found the quizzes very helpful to really discover more about my likes, dislikes and what makes me feel comfortable.  It made me consider choices outside my normal “box” of ideas.  As a result of the questionnaires, I would like to add more color and include more items that are soothing to me and reflect my personality.
