The Virginia Gail Collection

Casey and her team helped us design a master bedroom that exceeded our expectations and certainly our limited vision! We had a huge room, limited initial furniture pieces, and only a favorite curtain fabric sample to start. She created a wonderful layout for the room to include useful storage and seating. The resulting colors and fabrics are calming and provide exactly the environment we hoped for. We bought several furniture pieces and Casey's knowledge of the manufacturers and their quality were far better than some of the local furniture showrooms! Just as important, Casey and her team are fun to work with and are clear in their pricing, communication, and keep to an agreed upon budget. No surprises except with the great service!

With two small kids and a full time job, I realized soon after we moved into our new home that it would be hard to find the time to furniture shop and decorate. My husband convinced me to call The Virginia Gail Collection and I am so thankful that I did! After an initial meeting we had a great plan for three areas of our house (family room, foyer, dining room) that was seen to completion in less than three months. The finished product is absolutely beautiful and far better than I had imagined. Casey and Allison, along with the rest of The Virginia Gail team were such a pleasure to work with and truly made the process easy from the initial plan to purchasing furniture to installing wallpaper and hanging large mirrors on the wall. Again, I am absolutely delighted with how it all turned out!!

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with The Virginia Gail Collection over the last four years. I have met with and used several decorators in the Chapel Hill/Durham area, but once I met Casey, I knew that I had met the perfect interior designer! She is a careful listener, extremely observant, highly creative, and has one of the best eyes for color and design I know. It has been a delight to work with her and her staff members!

Casey has helped us with several projects and we will call her again for similar projects. We had a great experience and would recommend her highly without reservations. What we liked: - she is a lovely person; upbeat, engaging, nice to interact with - she totally listens to what you say and is creative about helping you find ways to make your home work for you in the way most comfortable for you - she respects your budget needs and helps you get the best value for your budget but still accomplish your goals - she is totally comfortable with having you say " I just don't like that xxxxx", not defensive but curious to help you discover more clearly what it is that you like or don't and why.....she doesn't push you into anything you might feel unsure about. - she has a "good eye" for spaces and things; we have asked her to just look at spaces in our home and give us her impressions b/c they are astute and she illuminates things we could have never processed through on our own. Even in spaces we were not changing, we like to have her thoughts, because it helps us see the spaces in new and different and more creative ways. Her observations help us even if a project is down the road a while in coming, because it helps expand our conceptions of the possibilities available.

This company provided interior design leadership for me over the course of two years (2012-2014) that involved three separate projects for an 8-year old home. Projects included a bathroom, bedrooms, living room, dining room, breakfast area, two offices, and a den and sometimes incorporated existing furnishings and other times they worked from the ground up. Their design work included overall room designs, wood cabinetry design, counter top selection, wall treatments, all lighting and light fixtures, artwork remattiing, framing, and placement, floor treatments -carpeting and rugs, window treatments, furniture selection, fabric selection. Their work also included the selection and management of all sub-contracting. Several rooms required A/V, computer networking and electrical modifications. This is my fifth experience working with interior designers over 30 years and it has been, by far, the best. They are excellent to work with and very, very talented. The designers are respectful of client's budget, upfront discussing costs and provide meticulous invoicing. They listen carefully to client's tastes and definitely incorporated them into the designs. We are extremely pleased with the results and have exactly what we asked for. Each room is unique, yet each fits cohesively into a consistent style and "feel." We would not hesitate to work with this company again.

As a custom window treatment workroom and installer, we have collaborated with The Virginia Gail Collection on numerous projects. Casey Blalock and her talented design team delivers an aesthetic spectrum that is always fresh, superbly timeless and wonderfully challenging. Working with the best natural talent in the North Carolina Triangle has been an inspiration and personal joy
