“I remember Gilbert saying “If everybody else is doing it, we’re not.” Our home really represents; traditional, eclectic and totally unique.
I cannot tell you how many compliments we get.

I didn’t want ordinary interior design; I wanted something really outstanding. I began working with Gilbert 10 years ago and he has successfully guided me through the design evolution of two homes. He’s endlessly creative and my fabulous home is proof.

One of the greatest skills Gilbert has is the ability to use design elements that suit his individual clients. A friend of mine loved my decor and asked about the designer. I recommended Gilbert without hesitation, knowing that her outcome would be vastly different from mine.

We had seen Gilbert’s work in Houston so when we moved to Manhattan Beach, California our new home seemed to be a perfect pallet for Gilbert’s design sensibilities. We were thrilled with the work there and when we subsequently moved to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida we decided to bring Gilbert along with us again. Ultimately, we love Gilbert’s work because it allows us to relax, entertain, converse and really enjoy our home.

A friend recommended Gilbert and indicated that he worked to incorporate your viewpoint and taste rather than forcing his personal taste on you. I found that to be exactly the case. I have since worked with Gilbert on numerous projects and the end result always looks like a reflection of my personal style versus a showroom or designer’s signature look.

Gilbert’s knack for choosing wall color is second to none and his eye for furniture selection and placement is extraordinary. He was able to incorporate many of our existing pieces into the new design by showcasing them in a different way or by recovering them with materials that met the new motif. He always took his time and completed each project with the sort of detail a designer would give to his own home.

I really appreciate Gilbert’s great eye, ability to come up with numerous options quickly, and recognition of budgetary constraints. He made several design suggestions that really improved the utility of our space without adding cost to the overall project.
