Home Revision

Rachel is TERRIFIC. I have a one bedroom apartment in mid-​town Manhattan and had been struggling for years (yes, years) to get the apartment the way I wanted it. I met with other designers and tried doing it myself. Nothing worked. Frustration set in and I had basically given up.
Rachel made all the difference. From the moment she walked in my front door, I knew that she «got me.» She articulated what I wanted when I had no words. She identified what needed to be fixed and what could and should remain. She was all about using what I had and only purchasing when and where it made sense. And, when I ran into troubles sourcing or I changed my mind about a pattern or a color, she was right there. And, after completing my living room and bedroom (under budget), I asked Rachel to make suggestions for the kitchen and bathroom. Again, she nailed it. A few small touches made all the difference.
If you’re looking for a smart, kind, funny, diligent, conscientious partner in your home or business re-​decorating efforts, go no further than Rachel. I recommend her without hesitation.

As a start-​up we needed an efficient space plan that captured our nerd-​cool brand on our very bootstrapping budget.
Rachel delivered exactly that. She transformed our space using a mix of what we had on hand and IKEA hacks — building workstations out of countertops and cabinets, installing steel garage cabinets as our mini-​kitchen, setting up «rooms» in our open, lofted space.
We dig the industrial style and having a cool, organized office has made a huge difference to our employees.
We’ve received numerous compliments from clients and other visitors; the space just *feels* good.
We met with a number of other designers before who couldn’t seem to understand our budget or needs. Rachel was the only one who seemed to listen to what we actually wanted and was flexible enough to work with our changing needs.
What makes Rachel effective is not just her eye for good design, but her ability to listen, mediate, and reflect the personality of the people she’s designing for.

Rachel was AMAZING.
I basically just described what I was looking for and … Magically… it was right in front of me! I got of list items that were exactly what I was looking for.
We kept also my old furniture which was great. She was really good at finding items within my budget and gave tons of recommendations for the future. Learned so much and looking forward to working with her again!

Rachel reimagined all of our junk into a beautiful living space quite remarkably. Sadly, they sold our building & we had to move. Now all of our junk is just sitting in the new place waiting for her to have a free day;)

Interior design, home design, organization. These luxuries are not only for the rich!
I was on the fence for a while and then finally got the boyfriend’s OK to go ahead. Rachel and I worked together in my space and my skeptical boyfriend’s comments say it all:
«Wow.»
“This is great.”
«We could never have done this ourselves.»
«This is our stuff, but it looks so much better»
«We should have done this sooner!»
Rachel works with what you have in terms for furniture/​décor with no pressure to buy stuff. but treating my space to Home ReVision’s services really motivated me to tackle other tasks on my own leading up to our workday. I took the plunge on purchases (both used and new) that I knew I wanted to work into the final look like finally deciding on some lamps (on Craigslist) and getting some frames for posters. I also took a hard «now or never» look at some unfinished projects. Like the space-​above-​the-​bed-​headboard-​crafting project. Bam! wall decal. We also swapped some of my mismatching bookshelves around and somehow they magically worked better.
Even if your place is modest, it should be functional and be a haven for you. Don’t feel bad for not being able to do it yourself. It’s clearly a skill and Rachel is a professional!

Rachel was truly outstanding, and her services were easily the best home investment my wife and I ever made in the 4 years we have owned our condo.
We have a small loft space that has been filled with junk and furniture from day 1. The space successfully resisted 3 separate full scale attempts to organize it over the years, and was a constant point of frustration and heartache for us. Rachel completely reinvisioned the space for us, and in one day it went from an true embarrassment to the favorite room in our house. Throughout this work, she respected out quirky collections, hobbies, and keepsakes, turning them into central elements of her brilliant design.
We called her back for a second day, and during that time she helped turn our downstairs, which we had thought already looked pretty good, into a space truly worthy of any designer. She even managed to give me a lux personal bar, which I have always wanted but never knew how to make work.
Rachel is brilliant, creative, tireless, enthusiastic, and genuinely a wonderful person who was a pleasure to work with. Not only is she a great designer, but Rachel was also an endless font of energy and friendliness that kept my wife and I going on all cylinders for 8 solid hours of hard work, while enjoying every minute of it. Her results totally blew us away, and I would recommend her (and have!) to anyone who is willing to listen to me.

Rachel is in a word AMAZING. My wife and I have been living in the same apartment for close to two years and had no idea what to do with it to make it a comfortable home because of the weird layout. Rachel came in and right away had a vision for the apartment that complemented who my wife and I are and our lifestyle. She redid every room in the house and helped us know what to keep and what to get rid of. Five trash bags full of stuff later and we have an apartment that is not only comfortable but feels so much larger now. She did her own research on what pieces we should get but also listened when we explained our budget for new furniture and showed us where to best put our money. We will be using her next time we move with out a doubt.

Rachel knows her stuff. She helped me make my 1 br in a shared living space into my own personal sanctuary. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

I had Rachel redo my kitchen and I have never been happier with the space. Its is beautiful, bigger and so much more functional. My storage and cabinets areas are so useful now, and I have new shelves for my loved keep sakes and my furniture works better in the whole room. Plus I love that we painted it bright colors and got some of my art work to flow with the theme. Its become such a better space for entertaining. It was cluttered and dark before and now its my favorite room in my place. Plus Rachel is a delight to work with, listens, understand how to compliment the stuff I already have and has over all a great energy. All my friends want to work with her after they saw my kitchen and she has been booking with them too. She making all of our spaces better every day. I“m going to have her do more of my place very soon.

I cannot even begin to describe what Rachel did for my home. I’ve never met anyone who can take what you already have and make it look new again. I’ve never seen someone stand in a room that I’ve stood in so many times and automatically see where things look best… and she’s right. They DO look much better the way she designs it. I recommend her services to anyone who has just moved to NYC and is downsizing due to lack of space. I also recommend her to anyone who doesn’t feel like their apartment has that «put together» feeling of a high end designer’s touch. She can do that «put together» thing without breaking the bank. She’s an absolute gift and I’m using her services when I move in the future.

Rachel at Home ReVision brilliantly helped us reorganize our brownstone in Bed-​Stuy, find the right place for everything, and figure out what would make it feel like the place we envisioned. She did everything from assembling boxes and shelves to helping us trot out forgotten furniture in new ways to arranging objets d’art from stuff we already had but didn’t make enough use of. Highly recommended!
