Pastiche of Cape Cod

Will not use their design services ever again. They did a good job putting together a color palette, but the actual execution of the project was poor and the costs were unbelievable. Higher than any other place you will go. The furniture prices were high and I could find the exact same items for less online. I also found the fabric was priced high and could find it myself for significantly less. And my furniture that they reupholstered was extremely expensive and poorly done. So a lot of time was spent on my part researching and negotiating down. (And I was locked into a contract with them). If you know anything about design, then you understand pattern matching. We choose an ethic print for the chairs and ottoman in the living room and I specifically expressed (up front) that the pattern match needs to be right, especially for the extremely high price they charge to do the upholstery work. You would expect it to be right and perfect. It is so wrong it is embarrassing. I did have them redo the ottoman, and that redo was no better. So I did not trust them to redo the chairs. Also, they made the pillows wrong and were rushing around at the last minute to redo them. It is a year later and I am still really upset. I could give several more examples. The experience was more like dealing with a smooth talking car salesman rather than collaborating with someone on something as personal as decorating your home. I feel really disappointed and feel completely ripped off.

My husband and I live in Chicago. We hired Pastiche of Cape Cod to redesign our kitchen after seeing the impressive work they’ve done in other homes. With Irina McPhee at the helm of the design work and all major recommendations and decisions, the project thrived and actually surpassed our wildest expectations. As Irina told us it would, redesigning the kitchen opened up design possibilities that changed our whole house. The kitchen became the design standard for everything else we’ve done throughout our home.
Projects like this can be very scary because of scope and detail. We worked hard to save up for this and were worried it wouldn’t be enough. However, Irina worked well within our budget and was an absolute joy to work with — handling all trade work that came into our home and often, teaching the contractor a thing or two. It’s not easy to trust someone else with major design decisions you’re going to have to live with for years to come — but every recommendation Irina made has paid for itself in ways I never could have imagined. I particularly remember Irina’s advice to go with the widest, deepest non-​divider sink we could find. Her advice at the time was, «trust me, you’re going to love this.» Every time I use the sink and especially when we entertain or host a major holiday, I smile. Who would’ve thought a sink could make someone so happy?! From the largest details to the smallest — Irina guided us with confidence and skill.
We can’t thank Pastiche of Cape Cod and specifically, Irina McPhee enough, for not only proving that the kitchen is the heart of the home, but for completely transforming ours.

Love the Sissy MacPhee handbags. Chic, fun, funky, artsy and quite unique. A lovely design shop with lots of treasures for the home.
