Tracey Butler was engaged at the outset to collaborate with the architect and builder to rework plans to best meet our needs. This included working as part of the team to incorporate design elements, maximize views, and improve the flow of the house. Most importantly, she was able to visualize the finished product and advised us on almost every aspect of the house, including where we would need storage, closets, room size, kitchen layout, placement of furniture, lighting, etcso that the overall finished product was not only built to plans, but incorporated our vision from the very beginning. This was essential so that the builder could stick to the schedule and allowed us move forward without the need for multiple changes . The communication between the architect, builder, contractors and designer was extremely good and Tracey worked closely with them in a timely and productive fashion so that we moved forward productively from the beginning. After the initial plans were finalized, Tracey worked on and developed the designs for the kitchen including cabinets, countertops, stone, backsplash and lighting. She designed all the bathroom vanities, countertops and again helped with selections for all the plumbing fixtures and lighting. The outcome was exactly what we hoped for and is both beautiful and functional. She chose all the flooring including tiles, carpet and wood and the flow from room to room was well thought out, looks beautiful and again is very functional. The lighting in our house is exceptional and that is due to the selection of light fixtures throughout. We couldnt have achieved the desired lighting without Traceys taste level and guidance. Tracey helped us incorporate existing important pieces that we owned into our new home - some of which were repurposed - and chose new furniture that fit the house perfectly. She was mindful of our budget and chose pieces that were durable with kids and dogs, yet modern and sophisticated. Each selection was given great consideration, we were given choices and upon arrival achieved the desired look. Tracey Butler was essential to the successful building and furnishing of our new home. We were incredibly happy with the design, service, level of personal attention and final product. I highly recommend her as a designer who is able to take on a large project and see it through from start to finish, sticking to the budget provided and meeting the goals agreed upon from the outset.

âOh My Gosh! I LOVE your Home!!!â are the words that are exclaimed when visitors come into our residence. We have received numerous compliments from friends, family, and visitors when they step in through the doors. Tracey Butler was able to completely transform our residence from the original structure, dated ~1910 the fashionable and modern chic design that we have today. The house was one of the original structures that was constructed when Essex Fells was founded and developed by the Philadelphia Drexel brothers. The original residence was one of the dozen âCenter Hall Dutch Colonialsâ that was the prevailing design at the time. Tracey worked with a team of architects, builders, and contractors to completely transform the interior, while preserving the look and feel of the exterior. She preserved much of the houseâs character, by re-using existing windows and installing complimentary windows and doors to let in light and open up the space. Some of the amazing items she has done to the home: - Moved the Center stack staircase to the side of the house, opening up the foyer and keeping the center airway up through the house for an open feel. - Opened up the kitchen: raising the ceiling from the original 9 feet to a grand 20+ feet sloping ceiling, applying interesting angles and windows to let in sunlight. - Installed custom Spanish tile, stonework, and applying wood cabinetry surfaces with re-faced refrigerator & dishwasher to make a modern airy kitchen. - Applied sea-grass and wallpaper to rooms to generate instant âpopâ in the room and give each a unique look, texture, and feel. - Re-Used antique cabinets to make custom sinks and opened up new bathroom spaces to make a âhotel-lookâ powder room, master bathroom, 2nd, and 3rd floor bathrooms. Tracey was able to work with the original house plans and work with the architect to make the creative changes to the house and work with the town for permits and zoning approvals. She was able to re-use furniture and fixtures and âspend where necessaryâ. We were amazed that she was able to leverage and re-use our own personal items so that the spending was focused on only the items that absolutely needed replacing and generated the most bang for the buck. We are extremely pleased with Traceyâs work and her ability to generate a grand design. She is absolutely amazing with her passion and ability to transform a room, home, and make things uniquely your own. We highly recommend Tracey and her ability to transform your home into something that you can feel very proud of. Kind Regards, MS

We purchased our home in 2013 at which time Tracey came highly recommended to assist us in redesigning and refurnishing the entire home. She exceeded our expectations in every way and created a completely comfortable, relaxing and warm environment for our family. Her designs and space planning were exquisite as was her use of lighting.Tracey recommended removing a wall in order to create a spacious, beautiful living room, eliminating a small unnecessary library. She moved an outside entrance to the kitchen to the other side of the room which made the flow perfect and which also gave us a new hall closet. The kitchen was gutted and she worked from inception to completion with our contractors, selecting all flooring appliances, countertops,lighting , mirrors and wall coverings. She redesigned the entire flow of the home and selected all lighting fixtures,tiles,rugs,art,wall coverings, drapes and colors for just about every room. We have received an untold number of compliments on her modern and personalized work and we can only give her five stars in every way.She was and continues to be a pleasure to work with.

BHome is the best. We have worked with them on several projects in different houses and their work is perfect. They have a great way of understanding the look you are describing and making that come to life in a way better than you could have imagined. It is a very collaborative process where you share your ideas, vision and budget and they bring their best ideas, vision and budget until you decide exactly what it is you really want. They do a great job of designing something that makes your house your home and not just a nice stylized room by a designer. They are great with space planning and seeing the true potential that exists if you just have a little imagination and trust Bhome to do what they do best! We have used them several times and will continue to do so and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a top designer for your home. NLB 10/26/2015

When my husband and I downsized to our 'retirement' home, I interviewed several designers to help realize my dream. Tracey Butler won hands-down. She has the unique ability to look at a space and reimagine it with style and comfort. The transformation was major - hardwood floors throughout, redesigned kitchen, and a beautiful coffered ceiling in the great room. Tracey also reconfigured the master suite to include a large master bathroom and his-and-hers closets. Attention to detail is her forte. She designed and implemented a wall of bookcases in the great room to accommodate my many books, family photos and objet d'art. We were in constant communication regarding every detail of the project, including paint colors and fabric choices. Tracey and her team were a pleasure to work with. They made me feel my home was as important to them as it was to me.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing typically includes a flat design fee and a cost + % of the purchase price. The Design Fee is based on the number of hours it takes to research, design, and pull everything together prior to purchasing. The Cost + % is an industry standard and is almost always less than retail price.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My initial meeting with every client is at the prospective client's home, where I can tour the property and/or look at plans and we can discuss the scope of the project. We might have a brief discussion on general design objectives, and we always discuss the terms of the contract that I will be forwarding. After contracts are signed, we meet again for an in depth programming of the project. And then, we design, draw, shop, budget, and get ready to do a presentation at a scheduled meeting where selections will be made. Once approvals for selections are complete, we begin purchasing/contracting. We are always in touch with our clients as to timelines and expected dates of delivery and installation. After all work has been completed, we schedule a photo shoot and hope to see this new project either on our website or in one of many magazines!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
After a stint as a buyer for Henri Bendel in NYC, I attended NYSID and began working as an assistant to Jeffrey Bilhuber, one of the greatest interior designers in the U.S. After learning from the best, I landed my first client and b.home was born.
