Friedman & Shields

I have worked with Tracy for years over several projects. She NEVER disappoints. Very creative yet mindful of our budget timelines.

Proceed with caution. I selected Traci and her design company because of the customer reviews. Unfortunately, my experience was much different. She did not honor my numerous requests to see the furniture to ensure my two primary needs were met; quality and comfort. Instead, Traci charged excessive design fees with no furniture to go along with the fees. The final breaking point was the purchase of a sleeper sofa that was paid in full on March 11th that I learned on April 25th was never placed. Traci attributed all of the delayed delivery dates to Covid. However, other designers were able to get some of the same furniture pieces much sooner. I even placed an order directly with Lexington for a media console that Traci advised would not be available to ship until August. The console was ordered in March and delivered in April. I would not recommend this company.

We bought our second home in Scottsdale while living and working in the Bay Area. Since we were not able to be on site after the sale, Traci was our person on the ground. Once she restored, designed and furnished the main house, she did the same for the casita. Traci is refreshingly direct and knows what I need before I can even express it. I’m very traditional and love antique décor, which is not a good fit with our Southwestern Scottsdale home. She incorporated subtle touches of Spanish Colonial that make me happy When we purchased a high-rise condo in San Diego that needed renovation, she helped me choose the contractor and spoke their language. Together, they worked out a plan to remodel in two phases so we wouldn’t lose time waiting for permitting. I don’t know what we would do without Traci.
