Carole Lee Interiors Inc.

Carole Lee is a general contractor, which means that, beyond her decorating skills, she's only as good as her subcontractors: rug designers, carpet installers, furniture makers, concrete layers, fabric sewers. Carole has a good eye for what is right, baring your disagreement.

The quality of subcontractors ranges from A+ (the majority) to D+; thus, a B-. She's been lauded in print media. Nevertheless, a number of workers need to return for mistakes, and the vast majority do return. Once in a while she can't persuade a subcontractor to return, and this will cost YOU time, money, and a headache to hire someone to correct a problem/finish a job. (In my latest interaction two such workers wouldn't return.)

I have infrequently used Carole Lee on-and-off for about 30 years, more extensively recently. She is quite personable and has good decorating skills, but the questionable work of a few key subcontractors can give one pause when choosing such an interior/exterior designer-decorator.
