Testimonials About Barbara

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!!!

Barbara Kaplan gets to the heart of the matter. In her Bajaro Method certification classes, Barbara shares extensively from her years of experience with vendors, clients, and the design industry. More importantly, she offers a unique opportunity to understand how important the human element is in transforming a room into an inviting living space, a house into a home, a space into a sanctuary. I was reminded to actively listen to my clients and remember that design should always be a collaborative process, after all, it is their home!

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.

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.

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

Such great advice over the last few weeks, Barbara. Thank you so much!! My living space is really now OUR own and is very comfy for us! And I have MY own space too!

Karen B., 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!

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

I took your class a few years ago and I have to say I am really enjoying your posts. It doesn’t take much to change the mood of a room or home. As I just posted, I painted over all the heavy Tuscan red of 4 years ago to the colors of the ocean. This Pisces girl feels MUCH more at home. Keep up the great posts!
