I highly recommend Michelle Durand and Cabot House Furniture! I am currently in the process of a major remodel and reached out to Cabot House online and Michelle responded to my request the next day. Michelle came to my home to look around and see what it was that I was trying to accomplish, and we clicked immediately!! Michelle helped me to choose furniture for my kitchen, dining room, living room and family room. We are now working on window treatments, pillows, a seat cushion for my built-in, etc. Michelle is a professional and a very talented designer who is easy to work with! She is a great listener, very attentive and really gets to know and understand what her clients’ tastes are. I sent her so many photos via email and text and at one point asked if it was too much and she said no, the more you send, the more I get to know what “YOU” like. The first time we met at the showroom to look at fabrics, I was bowled over by how many beautiful fabrics she had chosen which she had displayed on a large table for my husband and I to look at. I honestly cannot think of one fabric sample that I did not like! When I call her on the phone, text her or email her she is very responsive.
What I learned while working with Michelle is that Cabot House owns several Ethan Allen stores as well. Michelle worked with me to find the best pricing between the two stores that best fit into my budget which was important especially given that I was furnishing my entire house. If Ethan Allen was having one of their 25% off sales or had better pricing in general, she helped me make my purchases from them and vice versa. Michelle is also the Manager of the Burlington store, so she is always up to date with what is current and new which is helpful too! Michelle is incredibly warm and wonderful to work with! The bottom line is, Michelle is AMAZING, and you should consider working with her too; I am SOOO...
Read moreWe worked with Elizabeth Luis Goulart on decorating our home and guest house. She was absolutely amazing - everything you would want in a designer and the furnishings available from Cabot House were high quality and stylish. Elizabeth has a keen design sense, works tirelessly on clients' behalf and actually respects a budget and timeline. Rarely do you find all that in one person. What I love most about her besides her worldly design sense is that she is a great collaborator. She wants to create uniquely beautiful and functional spaces so she really listens and iterates quickly for individual preferences while still holding true to good design. I have worked with several high end independent designers and my experience with Elizabeth tops them all. She has astounded us more than once in her ability to get just the right color/fabric/style to create an inviting space that reflected our desires, the architecture, and the sense of place. She must have an incredible visual memory and appreciation of color. We have loved working with her every...
Read moreI have had the pleasure of working with Brittany Toscano for the past year. She has been wonderful to work with! I have been totally pleased and delighted with her talent, creativity, professionalism, follow through and personableness. Brittany guided me through a large project of furnishing my home, of which I was initially intimidated, with confidence and reassurance. I am very happy with the results. I learned so much and it was fun! Brittany has excellent listening skills and helped me to better define my style. She suggested pieces and combinations that I would not have thought to put together. She has a keen sense of color coordination and knows how to mix various fabrics and textures with excellent results. She is both flexible and decisive and the results are excellent. I highly recommend Brittany as a first class...
