Introduction

Hi! My name is Debby Adelman and the owner of Creative Spaces Interior Design, Inc., and I'd like to tell you more about myself. First off, I love my job! This is a second career for me. Previously, I was in corporate accounting which allows me to bring in a whole different level of skill sets to the table. I am very sensitive to the budget and try to find ways to stay within my clients perimeters. In 2011 I went back to school to obtain and complete my education in Interior Design at Otis College of Arts & Design. Since then, I was featured in the June 2016 issue of Los Angeles Magazine and the August 2017 issue of ARCH Magazine for full remodel and addition in Echo Park. I was the interior designer and brought in every one from the architect who drew my concept, the general contractor, through the craftsmen for many many of the custom pieces. I enjoy working on both residential and commercial spaces. For every project I take on big or small, I am there every step of the way as project manager. I ensure the work is done as planned, handle any issues that should arise, and am always communicating with my client and third party vendors to ensure a smooth completed project. I am on the journey with my clients from inception through completion. My designs are custom to each project and at the end of the day, this is their space, and my job to deliver their dream. I love what I do and passion shows through my designs. I am not your average cookie cutter designer.

Debby oversaw a complete renovation of our school library, completely transforming the space to a functional, energizing, modern, and creative space. Not only did her vision breathe much needed life and energy into the space, she was meticulous in ensuring every aspect of the job was done right. She was constantly present at the site to ensure proper installation. She completed the job under budget and saved our organization thousands of dollars through her connections to suppliers. On top of all of that, she was always easy to work with, pleasant, friendly and positive. I can't say enough good things about her understanding of clients' needs, professionalism, and follow through. A+

Debby came highly recommended and I was not disappointed. Although the project was a small downstairs bathroom, Debby approached it as if it was her own bathroom. We discussed my specific desires for the bath and she promptly provided a full and excellent layout drawing along with a variety of fixtures to select from. Possible contractors were interviewed by Debby and myself. Based on the scale of the project Debby was able to steer me clear of those that provided inflated and lengthy project time bids. The selected fixtures were delivered in rapid fashion. Debby was present at the actual initiation of the project and during its execution to provide excellent direction and troubleshooting when necessary to the contractor. Some natural stone received was subpar and Debby quickly arranged for replacement material, assuring the project stayed on schedule and on budget. I would have Debby do another project for me in a heart beat.

For the past couple of years I wanted to update my living room furniture, layout and color. While visiting furniture stores and looking at all the configurations and sizes I realized that I did not have the knowledge to decide on the right pieces to make my living room harmonize. I decided to contract with Creative Spaces Interior Design Inc., the best decision ever! Working with Debby Adelman was a delight. Since I did not know what I wanted (only what I did not like), Debby was instrumental in proposing a concept, layout and colors. She used some of my more treasured pieces in the overall design and honored my wish to have a more modern look. During the whole process Debby handled all the measuring, ordering, coordination of the deliveries and set-up. She also was considerate of financial limitations. I am very happy with the final outcome and will enjoy my “new” living room. Thank you Debby – could not have done it without you.

Debby did an amazing make-over of several rooms in our home - a 400 sq ft sunroom, a living room, converted a spare bedroom into an office, a guest room and, most recently, master bedroom and bathroom. She makes incredible improvements in the use of space and her design ideas and choice of colors and fabric are fresh and interesting. She also comes up with cost-saving ideas to use some of our existing furniture and accessories. She managerd the contractor jobs, ensurinng professional and on-time work. Debby is a joy to work with, and we are absolutely delighted with the transformation she has made to our home.

Debby assisted me with organizing a plan to decorate my condo. I had many ideas and she helped me to sort through them and recognize what would work and what wouldn't as well as giving many helpful suggestions. She is knowledgable about design, a good listener, very pleasant, patient and easy to work with.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have three billing structures depending on the scope of work. A simple design plan with 3D visuals, a Pinterest board, and a budget, I typically charge a flat rate. Consulting projects I typically charge an hourly rate of $125 per hour. For larger projects and project management, that includes all of the above, I charge 15% of the entire budget.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to meet with my potential clients and get a feel for them, for their style, and their needs. Trust is the most important factor when working with a client. Client's need to feel comfortable with me, and I with them. Most times I am working in a space when my clients are not home and they need to feel secure. That is the primary reason I never charge for the initial meeting.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended OTIS College of Art and Design and obtained my certificate in Interior Design.
