Tchotchkes Design Studio

Tasha helped us redo our kitchen, bathrooms, dining room, living room, entry foyer, laundry room, and bedrooms...basically the whole house. The best things about Tchotchkes: 1) Our space was transformed in a timeless and unique way. I didn't want a popular fad that I would need to update every 5 years (that would be so much work! and expensive!!). I wanted a space that was built to last through trend after trend, and that was funky but classic. 2) I needed someone to walk me through all stages of the project-- everything from big picture (walls to put up/knock down), to paint selection and lighting, to furniture and room layout, to the finer details like rugs and artwork. Tasha is very knowledgeable about all aspects of design and has tons of vendors and professional contacts that she was able to connect us with--none of whom I'd have known if I attempted this without her expertise. 3) Tasha was realistic. We have 2 young children and 5 pets, and like anyone doing a remodel, we have a budget. She helped us accommodate these realities by choosing family-friendly furniture (for example) and by helping us work with what we had-- both in terms of artwork/furniture/etc that we already owned, and in terms of the actual space. We were not in a situation that we could take every single room down to the studs and start from scratch. We needed to prioritize the most high-impact changes (and leave the rest!) which would've been impossible to parse out without Tasha's perspective. Having someone make us a list of what needs to be done (and excluding what doesn't!) ultimately saved us money. I would post a bunch of photos, but I fear that my messy house would not be a testament to Tasha's amazing work (see above, 5 pets and 2 children). But I'd be happy to share photos individually as requested! She truly is a miracle worker!

With recently just moving into a home built in 1917, overwhelm and decision fatigue began to settle in as we wanted to truly honor the homes history yet make it our own - a delicate balance that we knew we would need guidance with. Having previously worked within the interior design world, I knew the importance of finding someone who not only has experience but also aligns with your VALUES vs. the latest (and sadly unsustainable) “trends”. With Tchotchkes Design Studio rooted in the belief that the home should be a reflection of the people living in it and NOT just a picture out of a magazine, we knew Tasha was the “one.” We were so fortunate to work with Tasha through the offered service, “Designer For A Day.” Throughout the entire process Tasha was present and thoughtfully listened to our own ideas/visions all while also considering our lifestyle/habits and how that plays a role in maintaining the homes integrity. Tasha offered her wealth of knowledge/expertise along with resources that were not only affordable and of quality but also offered the opportunity to make a greater impact beyond just us by sourcing materials/items that support local small businesses and by recommending vintage/antique items that were truly built to last vs. eventually ending up in the landfill like so much of the furniture being made today. In the end, all our questions had been answered and decisions were made. From big picture of what we wanted the space to “feel like” to the smallest details of light fixtures/paint colors, Tasha captured it all and offered truly a one-of-a-kind design and service. Tasha is the real deal and we feel so lucky to have been able to work with her. 10 stars!!

We worked with Tasha as part of a whole house remodel project (down to the studs, essentially). Her scope included exterior decisions (roof, siding, doors, windows, lighting) and every possible design element as part of the interior (kitchen, master bath, living room, flooring, fixtures, cabinets, etc etc). Working with Tasha, from beginning to end, was a great experience. She listened to what we wanted, churned that in her 'design machine', and then came back to us with options. We were particularly impressed with her ability to meld function (which was important to us) with style (which we are essentially clueless about). She came on-site, met at building supply stores, or had teleconferences. She was always available and kept to her schedule. Oh yeah, and all of this through the beginning of the COVID pandemic. Since our formal project ended, we had Tasha come on site twice to help us with interior decorating around the seasons. We constantly get compliments from people walking by and from those who come inside. We love love love our new space and owe a lot of that to Tasha. Thank you!!!

I have a clothing line in Los Angeles, and my studio was a bit drab to say the least. Not a place I felt proud to show to potential clients, and was poorly organized. I have very specific taste and ideas that I wanted, but just not the time to redecorate on my own. Tasha completely whipped my space into shape in very little time and within my budget. She totally understood my vision and needs. I loved her use vintage finds, because it makes my space feel unique. Not to mention it made me feel special because I know she went the extra mile to find me treasures she knew I would love. Never once did I feel like my room was being plugged into a formula of a room she's done million times. It truly is one of a kind and functional. I feel organized for the first time, maybe ever. Most importantly, I now have a space that I am thrilled to have clients over for meetings and appointments! Thank you Tasha!

Absolutely thrilled with the work done by Tasha at Tchotchkes Design Studio! From the initial consultation where I sent her my vision boards, to the “designer for a day” where she brought samples/options to collaborate on. Tasha’s creativity and attention to detail transformed my uninhabitable cabin into a stunning retreat. She listened carefully to my ideas and brought them to life with a perfect blend of style and functionality. The result is a space that feels both elegant and cozy, capturing the essence of what I wanted. Tasha’s professionalism and dedication were exceptional, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable, which was a huge fear for me because this is not my strong suit. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Tasha to anyone looking for top-notch interior design. Five stars!
