Cheryl and the team at Hamilton-Gray Design executed our vision flawlessly. We had never used a designer before and undertook an extensive remodel for our whole home. They completely SAVED our project. We thought we could find a contractor and do it ourselves. We found out pretty quickly that we had made the right decision by bringing them on board. They provided incredibly detailed and inspired design plans that really brought our vision to life. We remodeled our entire house using their designs. Our contractor said he had never worked with a designer as detailed, accurate, easy to communicate with, and talented as Cheryl. Thank goodness we found Hamilton-Gray Design!”

Cheryl and her team are amazing, creative and professional designers. I've used their services a number of times now. Cheryl's attention to detail, including architectural items like sconces, niches and arches, resulted in the exact look I wanted. Everyone on my renovation team – contractor, subcontractors, cabinet maker – leveraged her drawings. It kept everyone on the same page. Those drawings were very detailed, down to showing where each electrical switch should be placed. When requesting quotes from multiple contractors, I provided them with the plans and drawings. Because of the level of detail in the plans, I was able to compare “apples to apples” across all the estimates. The final result was my home featured in the San Diego Union Tribune magazine and selected as a finalist for kitchen of the year. Cheryl and team are great (and fun!) to work with.

Cheryl is simply the best at interior design. We had the privilege of working with this renowned designer in a two-phase down-to-the-studs remodel of a large multilevel beach home. Cheryl listened with her whole heart to our own needs, desires and vision, and then brought her own magical insights and experience into the process. Her practical approach, understanding of structure and space, precision drafting and ingenious aesthetics meant we never used an architect. She transformed challenging and contorted configurations in a 70s house into airy, appealing functional spaces. She phased the project with contunity over the years. Her design exudes the Mediterranean charm we craved. She was a terrific communicator throughout, not just with us as clients, but with the contractor, workers and other vendors. She is soft-spoken and gracious with a lilting accent, but she also is tough as nails. Cheryl runs a tight ship, and thanks to her disciplined approach, we were on time and on budget with every design element! For fixtures and furnishings, we told Cheryl we wanted to incorporate both high-end and mid-level price points for our family beach house, as well as incorporate a few pieces from another home. Cheryl enthusiastically embraced all of this, and somehow wove all into a harmonious whole. Her stunning and functional design prompted two 2 magazine features on our beautifully remodeled home. No surprise: We already are planning our next project with Cheryl.

I had the pleasure of working with Cheryl on a home that my husband and I remodeled. Her attention to detail is amazing. Cheryl came up with a beautiful design that both my husband and I were thrilled with. She was always on time and organized. It was a pleasure to work with her. Since then we have used her on multiple projects.

Cheryl and her team are the best! Not only is she great to work with, very responsive, creative, and highly professional, but she delivers a high-quality, complete product with attention to detail and budget. We did a lot of our own research on products, and Cheryl was accommodating but also willing to share her expertise and steer us in the right direction. The subcontractors we worked with, many of whom did not know Cheryl personally, all commented on how complete and clear her plans and directions were, and how easy they were to follow. We are already planning to work with her again on our next project.
