Testimonials About Barbara

Barbara designed our house several years ago, and really understood our needs and personality. She has a fantastic sense of color, and was a pleasure to work with. We continue to enjoy her work, as it is part of our daily atmosphere.

Orna A., Scottsdale, AZ

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 Bajaro Method Interior Design Preference Profile online and for the first time, it made me think about my home and my preferences. This process made me understand that my space is my sanctuary. The questions helped me learn more about my likes, dislikes, and what makes me feel comfortable. It made me consider choices outside my normal “box” of ideas. Based on the results, I plan to add more color and some items that are soothing that reflect my personality.

Michell B., Scottsdale, AZ

I have had this book for a while, but I finally picked it up as I was trying to make some choices for a new house I’m moving into. I have been conflicted with my own personal style for a long time now. The questions stimulated me to really dig into what I wanted! It is more than a design book; it’s a book to help you find yourself and create a living space that is suited just for YOU!!!! GET THIS BOOK!

Camille O.G.

I appreciate so much how you helped us “take the fear out of interior decorating.”  When Jeff and I bought this house we wanted to add some color and thought of painting an accent wall.  As you know, I am not timid about self-expression in areas that I am familiar with, but decorating isn’t my area of expertise, so I didn’t trust my instincts.   You listened, applied your knowledge of us and our lives, and your advisement was right on.  You were able to zero in on what I desired to do, instead of what I voiced. Because of your encouragement, we found our edge and have been so happy with our decorating decisions. Our home makes me smile every time I enter it and isn’t that what it is all about? Later, when it came time to do some updates how fortunate for me that you wrote “The Bajaro Method” for me to turn to. It was just like you being there to listen and encourage. I turn to it every time I need “permission.” Thanks again, and I wish everyone their own healing environment.

Pat L., Phoenix, AZ

Barbara serves! Instead of answers, she asks questions. She helps you express your true and authentic self and your preferences, which she then translates into your furnishings and environment. She uses colors and textures that delight you! Barb’s intention to serve, along with her creative perspective, delivers more than you ever dreamed possible! Barbara Kaplan is the designer you’ve been looking for!

Susan B., Phoenix, AZ

 

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

Gayle W., Scottsdale, AZ

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.

Barbara Kaplan is not only a visionary in her approach to interior design but an inspiration to those to who know her personally. I am fortunate and grateful to be the recipient of Barbara’s generosity, kindness, and wisdom. Her love of her career, family, and friends resonate in all she does and her passion for life is very contagious. Barbara is a true inspiration! 

Claudia W. 

Barbara was a godsend for my family.  She helped me totally remodel my home and it is so much nicer than I could have hoped for. Barbara made it easy to select furniture.  I went to the furniture store four times and found nothing.  Then, I went with Barbara and found all my new furniture at one time, and it’s amazing!  I wanted purple; she found me purple sofas and beautiful area rugs. She also planned out a redesign for my whole house that is open, functional and beautiful.  I love my whole space, from the bathroom through the kitchen. The tile, flooring, color of the walls and kitchen layout; all make me feel comfortable and peaceful, in my home.  It’s upbeat and fits my personality.  It really beats the old stuff that I couldn’t stand to look at, anymore. If you want a fantastic space and a real “at home” feeling, employ Barbara and enjoy the whole process!
