Stacey Hermann Designs

After relocating from Buffalo, NY to retire in Charlotte, NC, we met Stacey in November 2016 onsite at Ethan Allen. She followed-up with a trip to our retirement home, which was under construction by Toll Brothers in its 55+ active adult community. Throughout 2017, we worked as a team to blend new furniture and accessories with our existing Ethan Allen collection (almost all that we own is Ethan Allen). The end result has exceeded our expectations and has consistently had friends and visitors commenting about our 'model' home. Stacey's success in helping us to 'live our dream' is no doubt largely attributable to her listening skills, which resulted in her consistently meeting or exceeding our expectations as noted previously. Her design skills and attention to detail, combined with her product knowledge and understanding of trends in the marketplace, no doubt contribute to her success. Through this experience, we think of Stacey not only as a trusted consummate professional, but as a true friend who we've already referred to several of our new neighbors. Retirement for us has been all about finding an active adult lifestyle. Having a home furnished almost exclusively by Ethan Allen, with the help and assistance of a high caliber professional like Stacey, 'fits' our active lifestyle and contributes significantly to helping us 'live our dream'! Special thanks and continued best to Stacey...and to Ethan Allen! Barry & Barb

Stacey immediately understood what we wanted to accomplish with a new design for our den (reupholstering our chairs, ottoman and couch), eat-in kitchen (new table and chairs), foyer (new bench) and dining room (reupholstering our chairs). Her expertise in selecting fabric and pieces of furniture is top notch. She is easy to work with, has wonderful ideas and follows through to the end. We are so pleased with our new design and highly recommend Stacey.

Stacey helped us select the colors for the table and chairs. It looks absolutely incredible! We couldn't be happier. Will continue to work with her on other projects.

I highly recommend Stacey. She understood my taste as she walked around the house taking my requests for custom fabric blinds, drapes and furniture. She arranged for an excellent upholster to pick up and recover furniture. She never tired to find just the right fabric. Stacey was ALWAYS on time.

For once I am excited at the opportunity to leave a review. Stacey already realizes how much I appreciate her as I sent her flowers last week. I am eager to share my experiences with others. My path crossed with Stacey at the worst time of my life. My son and I had literally just lost our home, possessions and I almost lost my life due to toxic mold. Months of hotel stays had also left me penniless. I was able to get enough to move into an apartment and I was lucky to receive some money from my Renters policy. I have always had the nicest furniture. Everything Ethan Allen. My new home is half the size but I decided to furnish one room at a time so that I could do each one beautifully. I had purchased a couch and Chaise lounge. I was shopping on the Ethan Allen site and everything I chose was black iron as I assumed the metals needed to match. I knew the room would look dark and gothic. I assumed the chat to be like most. A random Customer Service Agent. I never assumed to get a real designer, much less someone as talented as Stacey. I sent her the photos and she changed all but the coffee table I chose. She knew money was a concern and she kept that in mind. A few hours later she sent me perfection. A perfectly illustrated design with the pieces I ordered, the curtains I bought, the Ethan Allen accessories that I was able to keep from the house as well as some additional decor items. It was amazing. She lightened it all up. Two glass and gold end tables and an adorable accent table. She added a rug and some other pieces. I couldn’t afford to buy them on Ethan Allen but I found similar items and she added them to the picture. I sent her my kitchen table set up. She replied “white tray”. I would have never thought. I looked and found an amazing thick marble tray with gold handles. Even with items not purchased through her she is eager to help. She promised to work with me for as many years as it takes to complete my apartment. I can’t believe a person like Stacey exists and the fact that she is available on a website chat? I can’t imagine that even Ethan Allen offers her services for free. She is talented and is able to both limit expenses yet build on what is bought. More than that she is kind and compassionate. She loves her job because she says that she gets to help people. After explaining that she added that even if it is only by designing rooms. I laughed. I couldn’t imagine that she did not realize. I was just beginning to get better after 8 years of chronic illness. I had just survived near-homelessness. I had no one to help me do anything. I was all alone. I am a Survivor so I could handle it but Stacey changed that and how does one express this truth in words? I was scared of a lot but I was excited that for the first time I could design a room. Still, there was no one. I wanted someone to help as it was all the money I had and my first time. Stacey was security in a world of only echoes. She enjoys what she does so much that she is also my friend. She understands my illness and without asking, made the process as simple as possible. She was an anchor in an endlessly drowning cycle. Her goal in life is to help people. Her talent is in design. However, she helped me breathe easier and I was fully suffocating. She didn’t do it for the commission. She is just a beautiful soul, with this review I hope one thing more than any other; that she realizes her value in this world is greater than any profession. Thank you Stacey, my friend when there was none.

We downsized---actually decided to “start all over” ----with our furnishings and Stacey Hermann was there for us. She listened to us, then quickly narrowed down furniture and fabric selections that met our hopes and budget. Now we love our new life with an open floor plan filled with cozy, stylish, welcoming conversation areas and window treatments for our family gatherings.

Stacey is absolutely wonderful! She takes the time to get to know her clients, their tastes, their desires. She is mindful of your budget. She sees every project all the way to completion and beyond. I asked her for advice on something unrelated to her design aesthetic and she provided suggestions and even participated in the process. Stacey is such a pleasure to work with. Anyone who is lucky enough to render her services will be pleasantly surprised and extremely happy with the results.

Stacey was tremendous in helping us decorate our newly built home. She was patient and always a phone call or email away. Stacey was genuine and stayed in tune with our wants, needs and ideas. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase furniture or decorate their house.

Stacey was wonderful! She was patient with me, knowledgeable and offered so many different suggestions. My experience with her was so positive I look forward to working with her again in the future.

My husband and I worked with Stacey on a few select items including dining room rug and window treatments and bedroom window treatments including our master bedroom. We met with several other vendors before making a decision to work with Stacey and are thrilled with our decision and outcome! Our master bedroom window treatments required special attention in that it's a large window that could overpower the room if not dressed appropriately. Stacey's selection of 4 dark woven blinds with soft coloring side panels are a dream (and the suggestion of motorizing the top two blinds brilliant!). The dining room red silk panels and white and black woven rug pull the room together perfectly. Additionally we purchased a large picture that sits on one of our walls and looks as though it was created just for that space. If you are looking for a professional, dedicated, and seasoned designer Stacey is the person to work with. She will take your vision and make it a reality while considering time and cost associated with the purchase. Highly recommend!!

Stacey helped reimagine our family room. She guided us on through which pieces we could repurpose while adding new furniture and accessories to make the room feel elegant, yet comfortable. She made trips to the house and brought samples and ideas each time we met. Her pleasant demeanor made a potentially stressful experience a happy one. We are thrilled with the results.

Stacey Hermann has helped me to pick out fabrics and furniture for my home and has come to my home to assist me with furniture layout and design. She is extremely knowledgeable of all aspects of interior design. She is very professional, patient, and personable. She is one of the best sales agents and interior design consultants at Ethan Allen. I highly recommend her services to anyone who is interested in interior design, quality furniture and fabrics, or just needing help decorating your home. She has a great eye for design.
