Ellen Falk Designs gave us exactly the basement we were looking for.  Ellen herself was extremely hands-on regarding every phase of the project and her design suggestions were very helpful and creative.  She was consistently able to suggest ideas that we never would have thought of on our own and, happily, really added to the beauty and polish of the final product.  From the new closet and bathroom with its hand-made tile backsplash, basin sink and unique fixtures to the individually cut slate tile floor and newly painted basement walls, Ellen had every detail covered with skilled colleagues and assistants to make it all a reality.  Looking back, we really felt that Ellen truly listened to what we wanted and built upon our ideas and vision to help give us a basement that we absolutely love.  We couldn't be happier.
