Kelly Hernsdorf Designs

I don't think I've ever written an online review, but our experience with Kelly Hernsdorf was so outstanding, that I felt the need to write something here. Kelly helped us redecorate several rooms in our house. She was incredibly easy to work with and her professionalism and excellent design eye were clear from the start. The result is a new feel for our home that is both beautiful and live-able. The quality of the materials was excellent and the prices were competitive given the quality of the furniture. We will absolutely use Kelly in the future when we are ready to tackle other rooms in the house.

Kelly came out to my home at the onset of this project. She was very helpful with the design and fabrics that would work best in my family room. Upon delivery, Kelly made sure she was present to ensure all went smoothly and that we were completely satisfied. This was the second time I've worked on a project with Kelly and was very pleased.

Kelly was a pleasure to work with. She listened to what are needs were and incorporated our ideas into three viable floor plans. Kelly’s suggestions of furniture and fabrics were thoughtfully selected to our lifestyle. We were also impressed with her follow up contacts. Kelly’s professionalism, enthusiasm and talent served to complete our desired results.

Kelly worked with us to design our living room and dining room. She was wonderful to work with! She understood our budget and design ideas and worked with us to create spaces that we love. She made great recommendations to make our rooms even better. She was a great person to partner with and I very much appreciate her help. I would work with her again.

Kelly did a fantastic job helping us design our family room. Before we even chose furnishings, she talked to us about how we use the room and helped us take an awkwardly-shaped room into a more functional space. She provided several floor plans to choose from, and simply by relocating the television, the space instantly had more options. Once we decided on a design, Kelly worked hard to help us find the right pieces to fit our tight budget. She was eager to help us find pieces that would work from the clearance room and outlet center. By the time we had finished, Kelly had created the perfect living room complete with sectional, accent chair, console, artwork, throw pillows, and lamps. We were intimidated to look at Ethan Allen based on our budget, but believe me, Kelly can help you regardless of your budget! Kelly was professional, quick to respond, and provided follow-up regarding delivery. I look forward to working with her in the future. Thank you Kelly!

Ethan Allen's is known for high quality furniture and a high quality customer experience. Kimberly Hernsdorf, our sales person, was charming, immensely helpful and enthusiastic from the moment we walked into the showroom in Manchester, CT to the moment she came to our new home (before we'd closed on it) to help measure and give us design ideas, to the choosing of styles and fabrics back in the showroom and, finally, to being back in our home to receive and place the new furniture. Her personal investment in us made our investment in Ethan Allen furnishing and in the Ethan Allen Experience well worth the adventure. We love the results and have already turned to Kimberly for subsequent help. We look forward to a long and lasting relationship with her and Ethan Allen.

I met Kelly a year prior to my project. I knew she had a great eye and when the time was right I approached her.. She visited my home and came up with an amazing plan which included everything from placement of furniture to rugs, window treatments, and a great color theme. every detail was thought out. She listened. Thanks Kelly for a great experience and your expertise in design.

Ms Hernsdorf at the Manchester Ethan Allen store has a magical eye. She listened carefully to our needs, our likes and dislikes. She came through with an aesthetically pleasing plan. She also chose paint colors for us. I cannot believe I’m walking into this beautiful room updated perfectly because of her. Accolades to this wonderful designer.

I am so grateful for Kelly’s expertise in helping me put together a beautiful and highly functional family room. For me, the biggest challenge was designing the floor plan to accommodate enough comfortable seating for our friends and family. Kelly was key to meeting this objective and the result is comfortable, yet clean lined and elegant! Kelly listened to my needs and wants; offered various options; worked with my budget and kept in touch with me from start to finish. Thank you Kelly!

I recently worked with Kelly on decorating a completely empty family room. I was hoping to engage the help from a designer as the room is awkwardly shaped and I was struggling to pull together a cohesive look that was as functional as possible. Kelly completely hit the mark. Top reasons why I really enjoyed working with Kelly: 1) She was sensitive to my budget. We talked about items to be purchased now, and potential items for the future for the finishing touches 2) She came to my house to take measurements of the room, talk about potential floorplans (likes/dislikes) and it was clear that she got a clear understanding of my aesthetic (which I'm not sure I could describe accurately) 3) Kelly worked very quickly to pull together two distinctive looks. Both had interesting touches, unique pieces, and in no way looked "cookie cutter". Her thoughts on what I'd like, and the looks she pulled together were spot on. Both concepts were so good, I had a hard time choosing! 4) Kelly followed up with my throughout the process of delivery and setup. I appreciated her insight on the few random small accents that I had independently pulled together from other areas of my house. I would give Kelly my full 100% recommendation to anyone looking for a talented, creative designer who understands how to work with her client's preferred style, and within the outlined budget and requested deadlines. No doubt, I'll be contacting Kelly again when I'm ready for my living room!

Kelli did an amazing job helping me design the living area for my new home. She took the time to get to know me and the different types of things that I liked. Her suggestions and designs could not have been more perfect! We are so happy with everything she did from start to finish. She made our new house feel like home. I highly recommend her for your design needs.

Kelly Hernsdorf is a fantastic designer! I was hosting an event and wanted my empty mantle decorated. Kelly came in and made it beautiful within a few hours. She has exquisite taste and is a great listener. Thank you, KELLY!
