Carrie Moore Interior Design

I came across Carrie Moore when looking for interior designers for my home. I went through their estimate process, but did not end up hiring them for my project. This was not due to quality of work, but rather budget and their services being beyond what we need right now. CMID is a full service interior design firm. They will handle your project from ideation through implementation. For homeowners that are looking for a team to take care of EVERYTHING w/r/t improving the interior of your home, I would trust CMID. However, this was service beyond what I was looking for. W/r/t the estimation process, I felt it went smoothly. I had an initial call w/ Dan to talk through the process. We scheduled a date that was about a month out. Two designers came to look over the home and understand what we were looking for. About a week or two later we got an estimate of the entire scope of work. Finally, Dan and Grayson walked us through how they approached the estimate and pricing. I will note that getting an estimate does require paying for about 1.5 hours of time. This is in line with other designers I've worked with in the past. For larger and more complex projects, I would have no problem recommending Carrie Moore's team. They have a beautiful aesthetic and experience with the challenges of the local architecture.

I had a wonderful experience working with Sally on a full kitchen remodel. Sally is incredibly knowledgeable about trends in the industry, decor, fixtures and design aesthetic. She literally helped me pick finishes from the floor to the ceiling and I love every last one! She thought of SO MANY things and details that I never would have known to think about or consider. She helped me with space planning and design which I had really been struggling with before consulting with her. She helped address challenges to original plans when they arose and really just helped keep me on track. She keep my project on time and on budget, and introduced me to other experts (i.e. granite sourcing and installation) with whom I had a great experiences, as well. I truly could not have completed this project without Sally. I know I would have missed a lot of little details that over time would have made me unhappy with the final project. Instead, I am so, so happy with my new space! In addition, Sally is very community-minded and volunteers her time to several organizations which I so value in someone with whom I’m doing business. I really can’t recommend Sally and Colorful Concepts highly enough! Do yourself a favor and let her help you :)

We've done several projects with Carrie and love the results. The first project was the remodel of the first floor of our house including the kitchen, living room, and master bath. Carrie came up with unique ideas that really makes it feel special and matches the look we wanted. We had a last minute pivot to a different GC and Carrie was instrumental in helping us through the stress. She really listened to our ideas and transformed them to reality. We gave her a real challenge with our second project; new exterior paint colors as one of us wanted something unusual and one of us wanted traditional. She came up with something that pleases both of us! Our final project was a remodel to the basement, including kitchen and bath. On this one we were on a more restricted budget. Carrie was happy to help on an as needed basis to accomplish our goals. Having worked with a number of design professionals in the past, two things we look for are designs that include ideas and touches that we simply would never have thought of and second, designs that look and perform as well over time as they do new. Carrie's designs do both. She's is very easy to work with, organized, professional, and fun. Definitely recommend.

Sally is a gifted design professional and a pleasure to work with. She figured out our style quickly, offers multiple attractive options, and always follows through on commitments. We bought a 1980's home in Durham while living out of state, and did not move into it for six months. During that time, Sally worked with us remotely to plan and execute projects to "freshen up" interior and exterior before and after our relocation. Her recommendations for exterior and interior paint colors carpets and window coverings, as well as furniture placement, were spot on. Sally provided sketches and samples via email and USPS, as well as meeting with us at the house when we visited once before the move. Before we moved, Sally measured rooms in NC house and made floorpans. We provided photos and dimensions of our furniture and Sally suggested placement in our new space - greatly improving the move-in experience. And since then, we've called on Sally whenever we've needed design work. Highly recommend!
