Testimonials

I enjoyed our visit very much the other day. The kitchen, in fact the whole house looks wonderful thanks to you.

Thank you for all your efforts with this year’s playhouses! Your talents are helping some needy children – and that is truly appreciated.

We did some running around over the weekend.  We of course reconfirmed that there is NO way we can do this on our own.  We can’t tell at all what would work or not.  THANK YOU for all your help.

We did some looking at places … it certainly confirms why we are working with you – we would have no clue what to get.

After running all around town for two days looking at that stuff, I certainly appreciate all the work you do!

We are very, very pleased with the condo. It just looks great! We are just thrilled. Thank you so much for all your work.

What a lovely lady you are! I love the final plans, and your precision in transferring everything to paper for me … and for convincing the contractor on several issues I never could!

Let me tell you lady – you know your colors! The floor is the perfect choice – it pulls everything together.

I had reservations about working with an interior designer but you made my job easy and gave me all the information I needed.

I did not want to end up with a project that looked like something from Home Depot or out of a how-to magazine. I wanted to get a look that was special to just me – a place that reflects my taste and style. That is what I got and I could not be happier.

We think you’re terrific! You listened carefully to our wants and needs but introduced ideas of your own as well. You are totally honest and reliable, well organized, and always follow through with what you say you’ll do. You kept us informed of everything, good and bad, and fixed things when problems arose. We had confidence handing over the keys to our home to you, knowing that it would be treated with care and respect.

Just calling to tell you again, how beautiful the kitchen is becoming. It’s just gorgeous!

Had the family over for Christmas Eve and got nothing but great reviews on the kitchen and bath. Thanks again for all your help.

Thank you for making our new home to become a more exciting place to want to live in. I appreciate the direction you have taken with colors and ideas. My husband also likes what you have chosen in colors and tiles. It is quickly growing on me. Thank you for all your work.

We were very impressed with the material you sent. (Had to say “WOW” when I saw the package at our door). Very professional – very thorough. It has taken us a few days to methodically go through the options. We are pleased with your recommendations!

Susan Grady is a pro!  It was time to remodel a very small powder room and I didn't know where to start. I had gotten to know Susan through a professional organization and was telling her about my plans. She suggested we start by visiting some of the "to the trade" suppliers.  Wow that was an eye-opener.  I had no idea there was so many options for such a small space. Susan was able to understand my style quickly and to make suggestions that would please me. She showed me a wide range of options (something for every budget) and even though I had a very small project to make me feel like I was the most important client she had.  I would not hesitate to refer her to anyone for any project.

As I was nearing the end of my remodel project, I contacted Grady Interiors here in Portland to come help me with the final touches.  She helped my with some space planning issues, furniture choices and did some quick fixes on some of decisions I had made on my own.  My office was pretty much done and decorated, but it never felt right to me but I couldn't pin point it.  Susan pointed out that my metal valance to my shade was the wrong color and I should paint it lighter to match the trim.  It was the simplest of fixes, but it transformed the space. Susan was very helpful and my only regret is that I hadn't hired her as my interior designer sooner.

Susan Grady has been a design colleague and mentor over the past 10 years.  She is professional, friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the interior design industry.

Susan is an Interior Designer that we have hired repeatedly.  Her eye for detail and skill in pulling colors together in a way that delights the eye is remarkable. 
She has an exceptional talent for understanding the tastes of her client and helping them envision things they had not even considered and then producing a design concept that helps to clearly visualize the end result. 
Besides her skill in Interior Design, Kitchen Design, and Bath Design, her like-ability factor is off the charts.  One meeting with Susan and you cannot help but be moved by her genuine care and passion for making her client happy and enjoying the best possible experience while creating their new dream home.

The Master Suite is wonderful and the whimsy in the train and snowmen is delighting the children. Thank you for working so hard and always smiling while doing your work. You are inspiring in many ways. Happy Holidays from all of us at the Pittock Mansion.

It has been such a pleasure to work with you over the last couple of years. From beginning to end you have represented NWSID with professionalism, an eye to detail, extraordinary organizational abilities and good humor. You have always gone one step further ~ the extra mile in many instances ~ to ensure a quality outcome or product. You have made my job easier and very enjoyable.
