Voices of Satisfaction

“Cheryl is a sassy, wildly creative, mad bulldog genius of a human being, and I tear up a bit when I think about all she has done for us. Whoever reads this needs to know the following without a shadow of a doubt: Hiring Cheryl and her team would be the smartest and absolute best decision/investment you could ever make into a home building or home renovation process.”

–L.B., Destin, Florida, Design Client

“I searched for over a year for a company to help me with changes to my 1950s bungalow. I met with many companies, but not one gave any thought to the functionality of the remodel until I met Cheryl and her team at In Detail. From the moment Cheryl and her team walked into my house, I knew I was in the right hands. They listened to my needs, wants, and yes desires and delivered very detailed schematics representing three options. I approved a design, and the real work began discussing the process and, finally, a detailed list of all the work, including cost. The construction firm did several walk-thru with subcontractors to gauge the work, cost, and timing. We eventually began the fun work of picking out the pretty items like tile, cabinets, etc. During all this work, Liz, Cheryl’s right hand, was in constant contact. If I had questions, she was just a text away! I can’t recommend this team enough. They are thoughtful and very talented!”

“The design team at In Detail was amazing! We have a sunroom that was just awkward and underused. We needed serious help in figuring out how to best utilize it. Cheryl and Liz came out and analyzed the situation and proposed a few solutions. Once we made a choice Liz was instrumental in helping us to finalize furniture, carpeting, and hard goods choices. She was able to search through multiple manufacturers to find a style that works for us. We could not be happier. We use this sunroom now EVERY DAY! It’s our morning coffee spot, our relaxation spot, and our evening cocktail spot. The best thing about the design is that it’s also set up perfectly for conversation when we have guests. Everyone is close enough and face to face. Perfect!

“We highly recommend Cheryl, Liz, and the IN DETAIL Team for their Residential Plan Review service. We quickly developed trust after our first session and knew we had made a good decision to engage them. My wife and I are building a custom home using a Residential Designer and Builder. We had received our preliminary plans and thought we would benefit from an extra review by an Interior Designer. We found IN DETAIL INTERIORS website. WOW! It was the best decision. Cheryl’s design and detailed insight elevates the review and discussion. We are so pleased with the results. We trusted their process and will continue to leverage their design services.”

–Stephen Engel, Design Client​

“After seeing how much work our house required, my husband and I knew we needed a professional interior design team to assist us with our house renovation. The scope of the project was too large to try and do any “DIY” upgrades. After many days of research, we landed on In Detail Interiors as our interior design team. We knew we wanted to get this job done the right way the first time, and they have helped us achieve that! From the first phone call discussing the scope of the project with Liz (Operations Manager and VP) we felt very confident knowing we were in great hands. With their professional communication and attention to detail, we now have a stylish and functional home of our dreams! They have exceeded our expectations and have designed our house to feel like a home. If you are on the fence about hiring a design team, look no further than In Detail Interiors. You will get the top quality results you are looking for. Thank you Liz, Cheryl, Libby, Gabrielle, Randall and David for everything.”

“We recently hired Cheryl, Liz and Libby at In Detail Interiors to help redesign our kitchen, wet bar and living room space. From our first visit, I knew we went to the right place. They had fresh ideas and very thoughtful and functional layout designs for us to chose from. They thought of so many details that didn’t even occur to us that we would want/need. Their work on our project was very classic, unique, and personalized. Their work has been a tremendous value to us for so many reasons. First, they came up with this amazing new kitchen layout. The new layout allows for a better flow and maximizes the kitchen space. (I am excited to finally have a huge island.) Furthermore, these ladies took into account our design tastes and picked out magnificent colors, cabinetry ideas, hardware, fixtures, countertops, tile, flooring, bar stools, runners and window treatments. Ultimately, their work saved my husband and I tremendous amount of time. We didn’t need to run all around town looking for all these details. (Honestly, that right there was worth every penny!) Our renovations on these spaces are about to start, and we are so excited. Cheryl, Liz and Libby made this process exciting, fun and easy. (Well, not that easy. These ladies remarkable design options were hard to choose from, since we loved all of them. Honestly, not a bad problem to have, right?) Hire these ladies! You will not regret it.”

“We recently hired Cheryl, Liz, and Libby at In Detail Interiors for our new home build in downtown Pensacola.  From our first meeting I knew they were the perfect fit for our project. They have fresh ideas that make you question your own preconceived thoughts about what you want in your home.  They do not do cookie cutter Restoration Hardware or Pottery Barn design.  Their work is classic, unique, and personalized.  They push you to step out of your comfort zone and be open to ideas.  In our last meeting they gave us no less than 5 options each for our kitchen and primary bath and closet design with full drawings for each option.  I was literally blown away by their attention to detail and their preparation for our first design meeting. I believe their work is a tremendous value as it saves my wife and I a ton of time and allows me to do what I do without worrying about the design, specifying, sourcing and coordinating items they handle for us. We are in the early stages of our project and having In Detail Design on our team makes it fun and exciting!  We can’t wait for what’s to come!”

–Vince Scappechi, Design Client

“Cheryl did the kitchen and bathrooms in our house for a major remodel. Hiring her was the single best decision we made in this endeavor. Her team was professional and 100% on the ball. It’s been 10 years since the job, but when I needed to replace the kitchen faucet, I called, and her team found us a replacement.”
 

–Philip and Tamar Mitchell, Design Client

“Cheryl and her team have an uncanny ability to translate my cryptic likes and wishlist into amazing and beautiful spaces. I absolutely love all of the work they have completed and cannot wait to see the results of the final project they are currently working on!”

–Susan Jason, Design Client

“In Detail is an Exceptional Firm in every way! When I started reviewing firms for my “gut-remodel” on the beach, I was immediately impressed by the fact that they weren’t cookie-cutter. Their portfolio was diverse and spoke to the fact that each client and project is unique. As a child growing up landlocked in the Midwest, my “dream” was to live on the beach, and I am finally going to realize that dream in my retirement. From the start, Cheryl, Liz and the team have supported and enhanced my eclectic design vision and how I wanted to be able to live in the space. It hasn’t been “easy” at times, but I hired the right firm, as they have definitely provided tough love when needed, and the expertise and knowledge to say that won’t work and this is why. And that is the KEY to their success as a firm, and in what they provide for their clients. They literally take your hand and walk with you every step of the way. You will not find a better firm, or group of human beings, to bring your Dream to Life!”

– Rebecca Murray, Design Client

“A total knockout, this kitchen was a labor of love and incredible transformation – from totally drab and dated to a palatial hostessing and entertainment haven! Opening up the space plan, adjusting the entry to the dining, and removing a tired little pantry closet that previously split the kitchen from the powder/living room areas (hello, new bar setup!!), this interior space is now the true hub of this condo on Pensacola Beach. Complete with grain-matched walnut cabinetry throughout, checkerboard butcher block island, the peninsula and walls clad in quartz with a little touch of mica wallcovering – developing these clean lines and texture had to come in the form of more contemporary transitions between every material involved. We especially loved collaborating with a custom metal artist on the gunmetal cabinet doors that feature ochre grasscloth behind and give such a nice moment in the otherwise organic flow of colors and materials in the kitchen. Of course, I can’t forget those stunning champagne appliance doors (which were a bear to get right but worth every stinking ounce of effort!) The kitchen of our dreams, built for someone who truly LOVES to cook – we loved every challenge and beautiful milestone of completing this project!”
