Testimonials About Barbara

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.

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 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

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

I will ALWAYS need you until the last little accessory finds its place in the house!   Because I don’t know how to place the tiles in the bathroom, or where to put the sofa or which chairs for the dining room! And after that, I’ll need you always as my friend!

Stephanie B.

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. 

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

Gayle W., Scottsdale, AZ

Barbara Kaplan gave me the confidence I needed when it came to designing my home.  I took the profile, “poof” out came the answers I needed.  Barbara is not like other designers that offer their thoughts of how YOUR home should be.  Instead, she talked to me and asked me what I wanted/needed in the space I was decorating.  Her philosophy and approach are exactly what the doctor ordered.  I absolutely LOVE my home and I know that I decorated it myself with just a little nudging along the way. THANK YOU, Barbara, for making my home express who I am.

Elan W., Petaluma, CA

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!!!

Lynn R.

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!

Deborah M.K., Prescott, AZ
