Michelle Anastasi
I had the pleasure of working with Tom Spanier in creating a modern yet comfortable aestethic for my home. I was delighted with the design process and beautiful outcome. His professional experience is well-rounded and he was able to consult on various related issues outside the scope of our engagement. For example, he connected me with an excellent architect. Tom's communication style is highly effective; he asks the right questions, listens carefully and follows through with recommendations that hit the mark. His process is iterative, and although he has plenty of ideas, he is able to balance his creativity with the client's practical concerns for things like function and budget. He worked diligently to make sure I was happy with the decisions we made. Tom's professionalism truly stands out; he is prompt, friendly and meets his commitments. In the end he saved me time and money, and the outcome exceeded my expectations. I have no hesitation in recommending Tom Spanier to anyone with interior design needs.

Tom worked with my husband and I on our home renovation. He really listened to our ideas, enhanced the plans, worked out the details, and assisted us in creating a truly beautiful home that we love!! I would highly recommend Tom for any design project.
