My husband & I have used Stephanie on several projects; offices, flip houses, & our own home. We have always been amazed at how she can design a layout, she always seems to be able to see what needs changed to make the design work, always comes up with something we would never think of on our own. She is fabulous I have referred her to family & friends. If you want something fresh, beautiful and functional, Stephanie is the designer for you!!

I had never used an Interior Designer in the past, and now I will use Stephanie any time I have a new project. I had multiple rooms in my house that I wanted to change and really did not have a clue where to start. Stephanie came to my house and immediately started giving me ideas and suggestions. She was always quick with responses when I had questions. It was a very pleasant experience working with Stephanie!

Stephanie has helped us with the design of several homes for us, over the years. She recently advised us during a major remodel (actually a rebuild) of our current home. Stephanie was such a huge help with making decisions on building design, choosing paint colors, flooring (saved me from making a big mistake on floors!), fixtures, countertops, furnishings...everything actually. Our home is beautiful, and I am so happy with all the choices. She helped with the kitchen layout/design, which saved me from mistakes the kitchen designer had originally planned. We trust Stephanie with all phases, and highly recommend her. Her help turns a stressful situation into a fun project, with great re...

The expectation when hiring an interior designer is that the person can provide professional advice while taking into account the customer’s personal taste, existing home furnishings, latest “trends”, budget, and schedule to name a few. Sometimes those expectations are not only met but can only be described as exceptional. That was the case working with Stephanie. She entered the task with what I would describe as an open book and then quietly though purposefully, listened, suggested, listened some more and then recommended how to put the final product into action. She worked closely with the construction crew, participated in meetings with the suppliers, and made sure throughout the entire ...

I have done several woodworking projects for Stephanie, the last one in September of 2017. I find her very easy to work with. She is quite professional and has very innovative ideas. I also find that she is most willing to consider the wants of her clients.

As a commercial furniture provider, I appreciate Stephanie's knowledge and understanding of commercial furniture, finishes, and fabrics. Stephanie has an excellent grasp of spatial layout, a keen eye for details, and the talent and resources to bring together a cohesive and beautiful design!

I met Stephanie as a contractor hired to work on a commercial remodel of dozens of 900-1500sq ft units inside of an upscale retirement and nursing home. Her ideas have absolutely brought a modern and proper touch to the building, which was built in the early 1980's. The building has had 3 additions, and the needs in each building are very different from one another because of the way they were built. Stephanie has done a wonderful job noticing what can and cannot be done, and is conscious of cost. She doesn't force the issue on impossibilities like many designers do! We both try to the best of our ability to make certain ideas work but when they won't work because of the structure of the...

From the time she walked in the door, I was very impressed with her ability to gather information about my space, my current décor, and my desires... and she added her own expertise to the bland and transformed my house into the home of my dreams. She always presented options to chose from and the finished product is a work of art. It is a pleasure to come home to a Stephanie Deckro collaboration!

We have had Stephanie Deckro work for us several times over the years and she has always been professional, friendly and knows how to find out exactly what her clients need. Figuring out styles and colors for her clients is right on and makes it an enjoyable experience. We have always been pleased with the final product and will not be using anyone else as our interior designer!
