Testimonials About Barbara

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

 

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

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.

Yvonne R.

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

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!”

Marilynn A.

When we decided we wanted to remodel our home, all was well and good.  The problem was I had no idea where to start, what was next, how to do any of it.  Fortunately, my dear friend, Barbara was an expert in virtually everything I needed to know from the smallest detail to the grandest plan.  If I dreamt it, she could manifest it.  Things that might have flitted through my mind on a semi-creative day, which in my life was exceedingly rare, in hers, constant, were taken very seriously.  This odious project which I had feared became a joy when Barbara and I did it together.

Susan Y., Phoenix, AZ

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 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.

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.

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

Gayle W., Scottsdale, AZ
