“Gavin Design gave us a new reception area that has function and beauty. The results are better than anything I could have imagined. Our customers feel more at ease with the increased openness, better lighting and cheerful colors. Our employees enjoy working here even more with improved space use and storage. Furthermore, our facility redesign conveys our passion about our business and that we want the best for our customers and their pets. Our new design sets us past our competitors and motivates us to make other changes in the facility.”

"I have always looked forward to the day when I could create a certain style and feeling for my home. I know how to pick out furniture, but I was not fully confident in my ability to pull everything together. Becky Gavin of Gavin Design had the skill to see details I might have missed given her knowledge about style, color, tones and proportion. She was there when I needed her, and was confident but never pushy while guiding me through the design process.”

"When I arrived back into town shortly after the room was re-arranged, I picked up the Sunday paper, and not even thinking about it, took the paper in there to read for the first time ever. Becky Gavin of Gavin Design has decorated other spaces in our home. Becky listens well to what we want, and then takes us past our comfort zone. Throughout the design process, she makes our lives easier by helping us make decisions and then taking care of the details. We now have a home that is comfortable for us. We continually get positive comments about what she’s done."

“We were struggling to find a place for the breakfast nook in our new kitchen. The problem plagued us, our builder and the cabinet designer. Becky Gavin of Gavin Design did some calculations and pointed to a wall where a door was roughed out. If we moved a door, we could have our nook. I knew in that instant she’s a genius. Becky also assisted us with coordinating flooring, tile and granite selections with cabinet and paint finishes. Everyone who sees my kitchen falls in love with it!”

"I felt like the commercial where the couple meets with a famous architect and wants their home designed around a faucet. Bill and I knew that we liked this painting and the concept of a wine theme. We also knew that we did not like our kitchen the way it was, but we didn’t know what we wanted instead. Becky Gavin of Gavin Design listened to us and in the end, exceeded our expectations in her design suggestions and we got exactly what we wanted."

"We recently remodeled our 1929 house to make it handicap accessible with everything on the main level. Becky was invaluable in creating a new space that was functional for my husband (who is on a walker) but beautiful for me. As soon as Becky was on board she completely redesigned the interior space for the bathroom, making it not only accessible for a walker but, looking ahead, to a wheelchair if needed. She researched ADA approved tiles and grab bars and presented me with choices that were safe for my husband but lovely to look at for me. Based on a tour of our home, she always presented me with choices for light fixtures, pulls and knobs, cabinetry, furniture, wall paper, etc., that suited my taste and fit in with our existing decor. We spent the three months of concentrated interior work in Florida so Becky was our eyes and ears on the project while we were gone. I had complete faith in her ability to make the right decisions for us. Everyone raves about the final result. They all mention how the addition fits right in with our eclectic boutique Tudor home. I could not be more pleased with our gorgeous but safe and functional new master bedroom, bath, and laundry room. Becky has been a delight to work with and I highly recommend her."

"Becky has done two outstanding projects for me in the past five years: she created a small studio apartment in my lower level for my now college-aged children when one of them visits, and she designed a new, greatly expanded front porch that transformed the curb appeal of my house. She worked within the confines of very limited space for the studio apartment project, she stayed within the agreed budgets and she worked with the furniture I already owned. I appreciate her direct, smart style, her timeliness, her thorough communication and her command of implementing compelling and attractive design."

"Becky Gavin is a highly talented and consummate professional who saved our house. We bought a house that met all of our needs on paper but just wasn't cute enough. Becky came in and applied her talent with color, style, and taste, and helped us completely redesign the interior to match our personalities, living style, and space needs. She helped us pick colors for all of the rooms, adjust the cabinets and trim, pick new countertops and fixture styles, and even created multiple living room layouts, depending on how we wanted to use the space. She was an attentive listener during our planning sessions and I could see first-hand evidence of her implementing our input into her work. Also very valuable to us as new to Bloomington: she had great recommendations for other services we needed, all of which culminated in positive customer experiences. She will get all of our future business and referrals. Thank you, Becky!"
