As novices in the home decorating process, we could not be more satisfied and happy with the totality of the work done by DF Designs. Dennis showed great patience and understanding as we attempted to conceptualize and articulate our design needs, visited showrooms and viewed beautiful brochures with us, and, always listened to us from one day to the next. Like a calm parent, he unhurriedly introduced his own expert ideas, gave ample time for us to reflect on them, checked out websites and catalogs, and always concluded with, "...only if you're happy with it." He never overwhelmed us with "all at once," but introduced each idea and/or purchase one step at a time and always recommended and/or stayed within-or below-our budget. He even thought it appropriate for us to keep various pieces of furniture that we thought would have to go, because "they fit into the decorating scheme." Our living room conversation area consisting of four custom-made chairs around a round coffee table continues to receive rave reviews. The room's two areas are both different from one another, yet flow together visually with color, patterns, and texture. Those who worked for him were equally professional and courteous, neat and thorough, and also answered all of our questions; they were a delight to have working both inside and outside of the house.
The more we "live" with our new decorating and furniture purchases, the more in love we fall with them. When family and friends visit, their first response is always one of a gasp: "I can't believe how fantastic your home looks!" We have never before felt such pride in welcoming visitors.
Dennis is not only a design genius, but a gentleman and man of integrity as well.

Thank you so much for doing such a great job on our bedroom and bathroom! The colors you selected were perfect. Since we've been married we've never had colors on our walls (whether our home or townhouse) and you have brought so many colorful days into our lives from 5 years ago and now...beautiful "colorful nights" for us to enjoy together as our family grows! Thank you for helping us create our sanctuary - it's going to be wonderful for us! God bless you and your talents and the way you give of yourself to help others create their beautiful places!

The window treatments are beautiful. I really like them especially the ones in the office. The room looks so much bigger than it used to. Just wanted to let you know.

While waiting in the front hallway this morning for the arrival of a friend, I was wistfully gazing about, especially the living room. Although, of course, I've "seen" it thousands of times, this time each little part of the mosaic--both individually and collectively [the "flow"]--seemed to "come alive." I experienced an almost visceral experience, feeling a warm glow of the beauty and harmony of the room--the colors, the patterns, the furniture, paintings, the [I'm not sure of the word] "little things."
And then I said to myself what Judy and I have said so many times before, "That Dennis is a genius!" You have made our house a home in which comfort is both physical and emotional. It's as if our home is a living organism, providing joy and contentment to its inhabitants and visitors. And for this we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
There is song from a 1950s Broadway/film musical, "Li'l Abner," that goes:
You can tell,
When you open the door!
You can tell,
If there’s love in a home!
Every table and chair seems to smile,
Do come in, come and stay for a while.
You almost feel you’ve been there once before,
By the shine and glow of the room!
And the clock seems to chime,
Come again anytime,
You’ll be welcome wherever you roam!
You can tell when there’s love in a home!
That Dennis, he's a genius!

The window treatments are just AWESOME. The one we absolutely loved was the theater room windows. WOW, that room is now very inviting.
Fernando L., Crystal Lake, IL
--------------- “I spent many days in the fabric store trying to decide what would look best in my kitchen and family room. Your Design Consultation made the process so easy. My window treatments coordinate with all of my furniture, I love the fabric, and I would have never been able to determine the style. Thank you so much!”
Kathy M., Arlington Heights, IL
--------------- “There is no doubt that you have the magic touch! I love your work. It is unbelievable how you changed the Crystal Lake residence and what you have done for our home!”
Marjorie O., Barrington, IL
--------------- "I wish I would have called you first! What a pleasure! The process was a no-brainer and my color palette is more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I’ll never waste my time trying to pick out another color myself!”
Jenny B., Long Grove, IL
--------------- “We have used Dennis for his interior design skills for 14 years now—which is three houses worth of design. We always love to show off our home when we entertain. A high recommendation from us!”
Bob and Mary R., South Barrington, IL
--------------- ”I received DF Design’s name through a friend. Dennis was patient with me and gave me the expertise I needed to stay on track. I’ve already recommended him to three people.”
Cindy P., McHenry, IL
--------------- “DF Design remodeled my office in St. Charles. My customers rave about the results daily. Thanks again!”
Rhonda L., St. Charles, IL
--------------- "We wanted our clients to feel relaxed and "at home" in our office. The colors and accessories Dennis chose for us really helped us achieve our goals. The staff are happy and we're receiving compliments from our clients all the time."
