From the initial consultation to the completion of the project, Danielle Oliver, Senior Designer and Associate Manger with Walter E. Smithe in Orland Park, assisted us in redesigning our Sun Room and we are over the moon with the results. She took the time to understand our vision offering creative solutions that aligned with our budget. Her elements of design that stood out were the color choices, furniture selection, layout design which maximized and enhanced the flow making the room feel larger, flooring and help with the accent wall, all elements that achieved a stunning transformation of space making it warm and inviting.

Throughout the project, Danielle always made herself available and was responsive and patient in answering any questions that came up. She is an extremely gifted designer and we cannot express our gratitude in having her talents improve the functionality and aesthetics of our Sun Room. Lastly, we have received many compliments from our friends, family and neighbors who cannot get over the amazing and dramatic transformation - all thanks to Danielle. -Diana B.

"We worked with Danielle Oliver.  With her design expertise, she helped us address seating, storage, color and lighting issues in the space.  With an older home, we struggled for years with lighting.  Danielle listened to our needs and with creative use of furniture placement and beautiful lamps, our space (no exaggeration) has been transformed.  She helped us maximize seating in the room and somehow the room feels both bigger and yet also more intimate as well as much more functional for entertaining.  She incorporated new pieces with older sentimental items beautifully and factored in other colors and furniture in our home so the rooms flow together.  She factored in kids and our dog in as well.  Finally, she helped us select a paint color.  It was really a fun experience and we couldn't be happier.  We could never have achieved these results without Danielle's expertise." -Loretta C, Chicago

After 25 years of just settling, I now have the furniture that compliments my new home! Thank you Danielle for everything! Tears of joy! -Nicole F.

It was a learning experience I will always remember, especially due to Designer Danielle’s receptiveness & open-mindedness to incorporate my ideas with my home furnishing projects. Danielle was also very responsive when I made periodic follow-up inquiries." Michelle O.
