Our Testimonials

Four years ago Design Connection Inc redesigned our formal living room.  Arlene Ladegaard created a new color scheme that we really loved. She updated our furniture, window treatments, carpeting and accessories.

We enjoy that room so much that we asked Arlene to redesign our family room this year. Arlene carried the color scheme from the living/dining room into our family room and completely redesigned and updated our fireplace to place a TV above it. We also love the floor to ceiling cabinets along one entire wall for storage for children’s toys so our room looks less cluttered. The new sectional and ottomans are comfortable and color is wonderful. We absolutely love spending time in our new room! Thanks Design Connection.

Arlene Ladegaard and her team at Design Connection are amazing. Arlene worked very closely with me to determine the appropriate style that would not only please our design aesthetic but would also best serve our family's living style. This was a refreshing change from other designers we had worked with and one that made the finished product beautiful AND livable. She was respectful of our opinions and our budget and helped us find savings at every opportunity without sacrificing the look we wanted. She has a stable of highly-talented subcontractors who were extremely professional and reliable. The project was completed on time and on budget. I highly recommend this company.

My wife and I really want to express how happy we are with our renovations. Your design choices in our new rec room really achieved what we were after; a warm inviting area to watch TV with the family as well as a sophisticated and "cool" area to entertain. While we sometimes were nervous about making such big changes to our space, you always saw the final product and you were right on. Our kitchen makeover turned out just as well. The new, large single level island is a godsend. We certainly bit off quite a bit with this project and you always helped keep our stress levels down. Everyone that has seen the new spaces can't believe the changes and they all tell us how much they love the new digs. Thanks to your entire team for all the great work!

Arlene, we are so appreciative of the stunning work you do. It's amazing how you listen to what we like and from that create such an amazing, stunning dining room and living room. It's absolutely beautiful. Thanks again for your talents.

Arlene, I wanted to compliment you on how much Susan and I appreciate the work you did in designing and furnishing our newly constructed home in Falcon Ridge over five years ago. I know we complimented you then but, with time, your work has aged beautifully and the richness of it is even more evident.

As you know, we put our trust in you to design all aspects of our home and furnishings – down to the smallest detail. We live with your decisions each and every day and we are so happy. You gave us everything we wanted and needed. You got to know us and you instinctively knew what would make us feel comfortable and at home. You were also very accurate in your predictions of how we would live in our home with children, dogs, and all of the things that come with raising a family. That was key to designing a home that is distinctive and beautiful, yet practical and accommodating.

The design selections you made over five years ago are as fresh now as they were then. To this day, guests in our home always compliment us on our “beautiful home.” In truth, that compliment goes to you.

Arlene, we love how our space is now warm, comfortable and inviting thanks to you and your team! You have an expert eye for home decor and design.  The space planning was our biggest stress since we had such a challenging space, but you helped us find the perfect layout and furniture for our needs.  Thanks again for all your help!

Arlene is great.  We met Arlene years ago when we moved to Overland Park, Kansas.  She helped us decorate our house (selected paint colors, selected furniture and accessories, and remodeled our kitchen and bathrooms).  Arlene was prompt and professional and did exactly what we asked of her.  What we liked about Arlene is that she listened to what we wanted.  We loved working with her.  We recently moved into a new house, and we are again using Arlene.  Arlene worked with our builder in all respects, i.e., selected colors, stains, fixtures, carpet, and hardware and designed the bathrooms, kitchen, fireplace, and bars.  She has created furniture designs throughout the house, which we are in the process of implementing.  We highly recommend Arlene and her team.

Thanks to Arlene and her team for creating a beautiful master bedroom and bath. My husband and I feel like pampered guests in a five start hotel suite, but with our own personal touches! Arlene incorporated some existing elements to create a harmonious result in our home. The process was stress free and all the contractors were top notch professionals.
