AE Thomas Design LLC

I'll start out by saying that I recommend Amanda Thomas without reservation, and thank her for her tremendous work on our house! We bought a small retirement house that needed updating desperately, and I reached out to Amanda after seeing her Houzz pages. She is a super insightful and talented designer, a service-focused professional, a warm, funny, and caring person. Together we renovated the entry, dining room, kitchen, family room, and primary bedroom. Amanda always finds a way - often many ways - to incorporate the client's needs and wants into her plan. More than once she knew what I wanted before I did... and many times she saved me from my worst impulses. She worked within the budget I had and was always open to providing a range of price points for every design. We love our forever house, and we have Amanda Thomas to thank for it. I genuinely enjoyed our partnership.

Amanda was wonderful to work with on my two bathroom remodels. She was always readily available with good advice and to listen to my concerns. Whether we met in a showroom, via email, or by FaceTime, we got this project done. We worked through the height of the Covid period and the chain supply, in a timely fashion. Picking out all items for two remodels in a matter of months. I would highly recommend Amanda for your decorating needs. She has a keen eye for detail and will work diligently until your project is complete.

We had wanted to renovate our tiny, dated primary bath for many years, but we weren’t really sure where to start. Our old bath consisted of a tiny, tiny shower stall and toilet in one room and a small vanity and sink in the primary bedroom.! We really wanted a larger shower and vanity area but didn’t have a lot of space to work with. Amanda showed us how we could increase the bathroom size to fit everything we wanted by moving a closet. Something we would never have thought of! She helped us pick from many options when it came to tile, flooring, vanity, faucets etc. all within our budget. Her drawings helped us to have a really good idea of how things would look. We cannot even begin to say how pleased we are with how the bathroom renovation turned out- from our large shower with seat and multiple body jets, rain showerhead, curb less door, the beautiful marble flooring and gorgeous wall tile, recessed lights, beautiful sconces, large vanity with lots of storage, heated floor and towel rack! This bathroom is also handicap accessible, should that ever be necessary, but done so in a way that is not at all noticeable. Amanda’s experience and insight have been invaluable in this renovation and we plan to have her help with other projects we are planning.

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Amanda Thomas for all your design needs. We bought a 30-year old house in need of an update and while I had a vision and a budget in mind, I never could have accomplished the project without Amanda. Amanda is not only an amazing visionary and designer, but she listens to your wants, assists with all aspects of the project and does an excellent job of staying within budget (even when you’ve lost control). In the year between purchasing our house and actually moving in, Amanda was the one thing keeping us calm. Amanda took our ideas and made them better, she told us where to spend the money and where we could save a few dollars. She (virtually) held our hands when our contractors made mistakes and answered all my questions from the most mundane to assisting with the largest purchases. Amanda was my go-to for all questions during the remodel and often (if not always) knew more than the people we had hired to actually do the job (i.e.: electricians, plumbers, etc.). One of the most amazing things about Amanda is her ability to work remotely but to always make you feel like she’s right next door. She came to our house once, took measurements and pictures, talked to us on the phone and knew exactly who we were and what we were looking for. In addition, she always answered my slew of text messages and phone calls and never made me feel like I was in over my head (even when I clearly was). Amanda found space where I thought there wasn’t any and added appropriate colors where I thought we would be trapped by beige. She was amazing at always offering us three options for every room and assisting us when we couldn’t decide between the options. There is not a single room in our house that wasn’t made better by Amanda. Every time I look at my beautiful house, I am reminded of how much I owe to Amanda. She took our vision and turned it into everything we could have imagined without going over budget (which can’t be said of anyone else we worked with). The house is completely reflective of our style but better than we ever could have imagined. If I ever remodel again, Amanda will be my first call. I have recommended her to family and friends and highly recommend her to anyone looking to update or remodel their home. Feel free to reach out with questions. Sincerely, Claudia Hay

We were hesitant to hire a designer for our kitchen renovation because of cost and concerns regarding compatibility. Of the designers we interviewed, Amanda was the most reasonably priced, and the least demanding. We realized quickly that her experience, network of suppliers and her taste was precisely what we needed. There is no doubt that using her services actually saved us money on mistakes we likely would have made. Amanda expertly designed the layout of our new space with great detail and included everything we wanted and more. She listened to us and gave us several options at every step. She was responsive to all of our questions six days a week. She was always diplomatic, never aggressive, and patient when we were making our decisions. Additionally, she worked very well with our contractor. We are so appreciative of what Amanda did for us. We have our dream kitchen now and we love everything about it. We whole heartedly recommend Amanda for any design project.

I have worked with Amanda on three different projects and she is terrific to work with. She listened to what I wanted to accomplish and then helped me find exactly what I needed. She selected paint colors, light fixtures, rugs and occasional pieces. She sent me numerous rounds of fabric samples and tiles. In additional she was really helpful in designing a handicap accessible layout for a bathroom renovation. Amanda really appreciated my budget requirements and advised me on how to maximize what I had to spend. She is also very timely in getting the project together. I highly recommend her!

Amanda is a great listener, patient and creative. Would highly recommend her interior design services, she is quick to respond and takes budget, function and style which results in fabulous spaces.

I worked with Amanda on a project remodeling my kitchen and two bathrooms. She was professional and communicated very effectively online, and I love the results!

Ms. Thomas was hired for interior decorating and design consultation for our living room. Personable, communicative and transparent are just a few key adjectives to describe her methods of operation. Ms. Thomas was very patient and listened intently to our thoughts for the project, overlaying her ideas and comments in a constructive manner that enhanced the outcome of each decision. Ms. Thomas connected us with key subcontractors (painter, mason, historic carpenter (barn mantle) and upholsterer) who all did fine work in a timely manner. We are pleased with the final outcome, love the new living room and would hire her again.

Our challenge: Taking a newly purchased home, traditional designed home (dark woods, poor lighting, dated ) and transforming the home to reflect out transitional decor taste. Time frame: 6-7months Amanda, did an amazing job turning our dark home into a well lite transitional cozy home. From changing lighting, light fixtures to the paint and furnishing Amanda was able to distill my wife and I desired to have a cozy, functional home. She was able to take little direction and provide my wife and I suggestions that ultimately produced a home that is well thought out and gorgeous. We have had so many compliments on our home. Lastly, and most critical for my wife and I was the process of Amanda adhered to understanding our needs, taste and floor plan she had to work with. My wife and I are proud of the end result and that was only made possible by working with Amanda. We highly recommended working with Amanda and we will continue to work with her as our needs change.

I had a difficult time making ANY design decisions after moving into a new (much smaller) apartment on my own. After reading great reviews about Homepolish online, I bit the bullet and signed up for the service and Amanda was my selected designer. From the beginning she was incredibly friendly and offered great guidance to nail down what style I was going for in my apartment. She was receptive to feedback and was very easy to communicate with. While I was a bit apprehensive about working with a designer solely over the Internet, Amanda made the process easy and totally straightforward. We ended up picking several amazing pieces for my much smaller space that I know I will be able to incorporate in my next living spaces as well. I would highly recommend working with Amanda!

Amanda did a fantastic job! She was with me every step of the way and I'm thrilled with the results. She has wonderful taste and style and she really helped me bring my vision to life.
