Testimonials
I am writing this review in support of the services provided to me by Arlene Bobb for my move into an independent living facility. I was overwhelmed knowing I had to find the right facility for me and then decide to sell my apartment of over 30 years. Arlene was kind, considerate and compassionate in dealing with all the specifics and the design decisions as well.
We had the new apartment gutted, and then she redesigned everything by changing the details of the space to suit all my personal needs and style. She redesigned the apartment and added new lighting and dimmer switches. She designed a new kitchen and bathroom using trending and safe materials. Using a computer software, she drew my furniture, accessories, and artwork so I could approve of the location of my belongings in each room before moving.
She managed to make what could have been a very stressful time into a pleasant experience! I could say without any reservation at all, Arlene is a very professional, knowledgeable and talented interior designer. I am very grateful for all she has created just for me in my beautiful home.

Arlene is the consummate professional. She is organized, responsive, and follows through on the requests of her clients. Arlene is willing to go the ‘extra mile’ to ensure client satisfaction. She has excellent taste and presents a diverse range of decorating options but always gives the client the ability to choose what that want and need. She is flexible and easy to work with.
Arlene is making our move into our new condo both exciting and fulfilling. I highly recommend her services.

Arlene and I first started working together about 15 years ago. She created a completely new and beautiful kitchen for me. My family and I have enjoyed using the kitchen space along with the dining room. She also designed new window treatments and made other improvements throughout my home. Years later everything still looks amazing!! I recently enlisted her wonderful design help with her attention to detail again for different areas of my home. The experience has been very pleasant, timely and within budget as before. I highly recommend Arlene for all your design needs!

I am a contractor that has worked with Arlene Bobb on a number of projects. What I like about Arlene is that she really listens to the client. She manages all projects from start to finish keeping the client involved in every step of the process. Arlene pays attention to the smallest details and gets all projects finished on time.

We knew that staging our condo for resale would make it more appealing to potential buyers. We were so fortunate to have Arlene Bobb referred to us by our realtor. The way to get things done well is to have the best people on the job. Arlene is a talented interior designer with outstanding credentials. To her credit, even though this was not a large scale project, she got it going without delay and stayed on it through a speedy completion. She made paint selections, carpet selection and selected rental furniture. She arranged for all the work and deliveries and was on site for each stage of the process since we do not live locally. She went over and above what we expected, even making a trip to a plumbing supply to get parts for a repair, purchasing reasonably priced accessories and passing on her designer discounts to us, and finally having the place cleaned and polished . Her team of service providers are top notch. She was in contact with us consistently via email, phone and text, to send pictures of her selections and to keep us informed of the work progress. The happy result is that the property went under contract less than a month after Arlene finished decorating.
We could not be more pleased and recommend her without reservation.
Delores E.Center City, PA
I would highly recommend Arlene. She worked with me to update my dining room and I am thrilled with the outcome. Arlene understood my goals and we used my existing dining table, sideboard, and built-in. I changed my dining chairs, chandelier, color of walls and built in as well as cabinet hardware. Arlene helped to make design decisions with me that I never would have thought of on my own. The dining room looks spectacular.

Arlene is first and foremost an artist. Her ideas are unique and result from a careful scrutiny all the aspects of the job at hand. she blends the newest of the new with the traditional, with a very pleasing result. I think what has impressed me most is her ability to adapt her art to fit my personality and needs. Indeed this is her great talent.
I know you will be delighted with her, for on top of her abilities, she is a nice person, someone you will be glad to know.

Arlene, I’m grateful for your excellent guidance. After many years of enjoying the home you helped me create, I realized it was time for a fresh look. We all have a tendency to accumulate things over time and I wasn’t sure what should stay and what should go. With your uncanny gift for sizing up a room and knowing how to enhance its appearance, you made smart recommendations that have already improved the look of three areas. Your suggestions for reducing the clutter, improving the lighting, and modernizing the arrangement of the drapes have given the living room, dining room and foyer just what they needed. Thank you, again, for coming to my rescue!

I love my new bathroom and it feels like a spa whenever I use it. Arlene provided excellent recommendations for the design and selection of materials to fit my style, as well as suggestions to keep the project within budget. Arlene was able to recommend quality materials and find suppliers to keep the budget in tact. The contractor treated my home with respect and maintained a clean environment throughout the project. The project was completed within a reasonable time frame and increased the size, ceiling height and storage in the bathroom. I am very pleased and would highly recommend Arlene.

Arlene and her team had done an amazing job helping us get our house ready for sale. Arlene came to our home in a very professional manner and helped us determine what needed to be put in storage. It wasn’t an easy task but well worth the effort. In addition, she staged our home in a more pleasing manner to improve the overall look and feel. Our house never looked so good! We got lots of interest and sold our home quickly at above market price. Thank you so much to Arlene Bobb Interior Design! We would recommend you to anyone!

Project has been designed but construction has not started as yet. Arlene Bobb has helped us envision the bathroom redesign. Her knowledge of materials, of suppliers, allowed us to find and meet our goals in the design. Arlene listened to our desires and then turned those into a design that we all think works! Now, we are ready to see it completed. The contractor is to begin work in the next two weeks.

Arlene created the two areas in my living room that I had requested in a most interesting and wonderful way. She made the areas look very spacious and extremely attractive.

Leaving home I’ve lived in for nearly twenty-eight years isn’t easy, particularly when I’m leaving alone. Even moving to a new luxurious condominium wasn’t enough to offset the sadness and disorientation I was experiencing. There were too many unpleasant decisions to make about the dismantling of my home and too many challenging questions about various aspects of my future residence. When people asked me if I was excited about moving, I couldn’t even feign enthusiasm. It seemed perfectly fitting that the weather was miserable the night the Corinthian had it’s a first official get-together for its current buyers. I almost didn’t go. Only curiosity about my future neighbors motivated me to attend.
And, I’m so glad I did because that’s where I met you, my fairy godmother. Though you’re much younger and more elegant than Dorothy’s Good Witch”, in many ways, your powers are the same. You have transformed my ordeal into delightful project. With your input about what I should take and what I should supplement, I know how to proceed. Your ideas for placing furniture are more than just sensible; they are stylish and satisfying. When you talk about fabrics and colors, your genuine appreciation of quality and beauty is contagious. I would have to be made of stone not to feel your delight as a piece of furniture with the right dimensions, color, design, and texture emerged-or a room with furniture, floor coverings and window treatments takes shape.
How do you do it? how, do you make a client feel like a queen moving into a palace? Caringly and competently. It’s not an accident. You obviously make a special effort to get to know your client’s needs, budget, priorities, and stylistic preferences. With your knowledge, experience, and flawless taste, I know I can’t lose.
When I've been hesitant about a particular suggestion, you’ve
always found an alternative that had my approval, if not my blessing. During the past few months, I’ve been working with you, I’ve observed there is no such thing as impossible. If one idea doesn’t pan out, an even better on materializes. The most exciting moments are those when you announce the location of an illusive fabric or carpet or the solution to an annoying problem. You’re like the winner of a lottery. how wonderful that you should care so much!
Every time I know you are coining over to discuss the décor of a room in my condo, my spirit soars. I can’t wait to get home. No matter how tired I am after a long day of work, the time we spend together is enlightening, productive, and fun!
I feel as though you’ve given me a pair of ruby red shoes to help me accompany you down the ‘yellow brick road.” The closer we get to the unveiling of the rainbow, the more convinced I am of your wizardry. I feel confident that my condominium will not only reflect a harmonious compilation for my old life and my new-but serve as a relaxing retreat and an exciting launching pad for the next stage of my life.
Your expertise, talent, creativity, flexibility, reliability, warmth, and charm are just a few of your winning traits that make you a pleasure to work with and a joy to know. Thank you ever so much for your impeccable guidance, growing friendship, and 100% discount on my custom made ruby red shoes.
