Hello- I am Dr. Ray residing in Orlando, Florida. I have been working closely with the Design Gallery in Flat Rock, NC for over two years. My designer, Dawn Driskill, is one spectacular individual— excellent taste, very thorough, polite, thoughtful, and kind. I asked her, along with my contractor, Paramount Construction, to gut a townhome I purchased during the pandemic on Lake Lure. Every problem possible was thrown at her, from workers sick with Covid, supply shortages, to infestations of all kinds. Making it harder for all concerned, was the fact that I was not locally on site, so everything had to be done over the phone or online. During the process, I never heard a bad word or felt disdain from her, or anyone else in her company. To the contrary, I was treated with the upmost respect, professionally, and willing to accommodate my detailed way of thinking. To make a long story short, The Design Gallery, along with my contractor, produced an elegant contemporary lake house that deserves a five star review. Upon finishing the project, I began to rent it out on AirBnb, and I get nothing but rave reviews- everyone just loves being there, and enjoys the quality of the construction and the design excellence. Many thanks to the Design Gallery, to Dawn personally, and to my contractor, Chandler Ward, of Paramount Construction in Hendersonville. They are a great team, and deserve a lot of credit for working so well together. So, if you need a certified designer in the Flat Rock, Asheville, or Hendersonville area, please call The Design Gallery and ask for Dawn. You will be glad...
   Read moreWe bought a house and moved to Laurel Park, NC in 2019. Our new house had not been updated for 25 years and was in desperate need of a remodel. We had a general idea and direction for our design; however we needed an independent design perspective, technical advice and experience for our project.
The Design Gallery team provided all this and more. They listened to our ideas, suggested alternate concepts and we worked together to develop a beautiful design that we could not have envisioned on our own.
We interviewed and ultimately selected a general contractor recommended by the design team. We could not have asked for a better advocate to have on our side during the whole house construction project.
The Design Gallery team personally reviewed the progress onsite at key milestones to ensure our vision stayed on track.
We are now living in our newly remodeled home and couldn’t be happier. Thank you Dawn and Betsy; your team provided honest advice and you always looked after our best interest. We consider you...
   Read moreThe Design Gallery has a great approach to interior design. I met with Dawn and Heather before we moved into our home so that they could get to know me, how my husband and I lived, and what our decorating preferences were. It was helpful to see some of their projects and ideas.
We came from an English Country Style home with 27 years of accumulation. Dawn and Heather made what we kept blend perfectly with our new, more modern style. The results are amazing!
They deal with nothing but quality suppliers and we never had a problem with anything they recommended. There is never a hard sell...it's always a gentle guidance while letting you discover your style.
They are thoughtful, professional, responsive, and very patient.
We look forward to our future projects with Dawn and Heather and The...
