Testimonials About Barbara

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

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

Through the years, our relationship had shown me that there is a huge difference between a decorator and a “Design Counselor.” With your expertise, I’ve learned that change is not only healthy but can be very exciting.  Your guidance in re-creating our master bedroom suite was invaluable and the room has become “our dream come true.” The transformation is incredible, exquisite, and extremely functional.  Even more exciting, the entire process was an enjoyable one with you by my side.  Thanks for just being you. You’re amazing!!!

Just wanted to let you know how much your words, both personally and in your book, have helped me to make my home “my space.”  Your words gave me the permission I needed to be myself and to decorate with the knowledge that I couldn’t make a mistake in my personal space if I am true to myself.  I now have a home that I am proud of and that reflects the inner me.  My guests and family comment on how comfortable they are in the rooms; how aesthetically pleasing the room is with the light, personal items, and furniture.  The rooms flow better, appear connected, and please the eye from every angle.  Thank you again for the guidance you provided.

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

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 believe that one of the biggest truths in life is that change is constant. When Barbara works with you, she is an amazing source to guide you to make those changes positive, whether you are changing your home, your personal life or your business.

Ruth U., Scottsdale, 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.

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.

Michell B., Scottsdale, 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
