Julie Goss for Ethan Allen, Vienna

We renovated the entire first floor of our home and met with Julie back in February 2023 after visiting a few other furniture stores that offer designer services (Arhaus, Room & Board). We were immediately thoroughly impressed with how kind, knowledge and responsive she was to all of our questions. We also loved the furniture at Ethan Allen. Arhaus and Room & Board gave first impressions that felt like they weren't too interested in helping us with our home renovation but rather just seemingly picked random items that would physically fit in a room. Julie was passionate in helping us design our home and flexible given budget restrictions and our own personal taste. She approached our project as though she had as much of a personal stake in this house as we did and for that we're forever grateful as home remodeling projects are always stressful but Julie was one of the bright spots in the entire process. Not only was she very passionate about our project, she did an absolutely terrific job and we couldn't be happier with how our home turned out. If you like the furniture at Ethan Allen, I can't recommend Julie enough.

Julie recently did a redesign of our media/wine cellar room. It is a dark room on the north side of the house on the first floor. We had already bought a media cabinet and she needed to design around that piece as well as the existing wine cellar. She did a fabulous job of blending the traditional and modern aspects of the room while giving everything a fresh and light look. She recommended we put a geometric patterned drapery with a neutral rug adding dark end table elements to create the look. We are extremely pleased with the result.

Working with Julie is a fantastic experience. She listened to our needs, quickly provided multiple options and was always available to chat with us around ideas. Julie makes sure the design/order/delivery process is pleasurable and easy to understand. We are still working on finishing designs on our new home and we feel we have met the ideal "partner" for the overall experience. Julies expertise is vast, she is a class act and a great choice to help you design any (or every) room in your home!

We’ve worked with Julie for the past two and a half years. We wanted a designer to help us create a cozy yet elevated space in the home we were building. She is a great listener and got to know our style. Julie offered helpful design insights, and when she presented her design recommendations, we could see the thoughtfulness and experience she put behind it. We’d highly recommend Julie for whatever project you have.

Sitting down with Julie Goss was a moment of creativity and inspiration. Talking about my new modern farmhouse with a home office she immediately put up on the computer screen the floor plan I had shared. One room at a time we looked at the screen to determine the dimensions of floor space, windows, and the overall property. Julie listened, was curious, and stayed on task. Never having had a desk before I knew I wanted an L-shaped one for both Zoom work and writing. Figuring out the dimensions of both my room and a new desk she knew would be available was a winning solution. Next, we discussed blinds for the second floor of the house. Discussing my previous experience with a high-end blind and shutter company she recommended a line of blinds of equal quality carried exclusively by Ethan Allen but the price point made a huge difference given the number of windows we were discussing. The next item we played with was looking for curtain fabric that would be in the dining room in my new modern farmhouse. Loving natural fabrics she pulled out a pallet of fabric. Within minutes both of us knew exactly what would be beautiful as an additional dimension to the black-clad large windows looking out onto the water feature in the backyard. Her recommendation for the rods and hangers was very helpful. In my mind, I was holding the image of the coffered ceiling in the adjacent space when I spotted a wool rug with squares of looped wool that I immediately knew would go with the simple style of the dining room table. We played with the colors of neutral and I followed her instinct in selecting the rug. Given the economic climate, we exist in a time in our history where supply chain issues impact production time. Waiting for all this to be shipped, created, scheduled, and finally delivered took patience on my part. However, the scheduler and the installer were great communicators and once dates were established the finish was near. The installer came on time, did impeccable work, and wow! the color and quality of the linen fabric all coordinated perfectly with the leathered granite island in the big kitchen creating a warm, polished look in my new "forever" home. The blinds upstairs are "good enough" and serve the space well. Julie listened to my needs, was attuned to my own creative instincts, knows how colors coordinate, and has a great spacial sense about her. She was attentive to tracking these orders and stayed in touch with me over an eight-month period. I love my new desk that fits just right in the space. I could not have done this without her. Ethan Allen offers discounts and pricing is worth the quality received. I highly recommend Julie Goss for all your interior needs. Thank you, Julie.

I cannot recommend Julie Goss enough! She is a very talented designer who helped us select the perfect living room for us. She guided us in elevating our living space with fabrics and textures that made the room pop. I am thrilled with the result. Thank you so much.

I have worked with Julie for the past year to furnish our brand new home. She has helped me pick out pieces for our family room, kitchen, screened-in porch, office, walk-in closet, bedroom, and entryway. Julie has been able to hone in on my personal style and give me with choices that match my aesthetic while also providing her design expertise. I have loved working with Julie because everything she picks out is absolutely beautiful! From the big pieces like our kitchen table to lamps and fabric for pillows and drapes, everything she recommends is classy and chic but also inviting. Julie has made decorating our new home - which needed a lot of furniture - not only very easy, but also a lot of fun. I cannot recommend her enough!

Julie Goss was a dream to work with. She is so talented. She completely redesigned two old and tired rooms -- helping us to choose sofas, chairs, occaisional tables, rugs, lighting, custom blinds, and paint and wallpaper colors -- giving us a fresh update that completely changed the look of our home. Our home is a traditional colonial and she incorporated some traditional elements as well as some bold color splashes and whimsical elements that blends old and new. We love the design and of course, Ethan Allen furniture is very high quality and many of the beautiful wood pieces will outlast our growing family.

Our daughter, Robyn asked for help to buy new furniture for her condo. We contacted Ethan Allen, based on its strong support when we were refurnishing. That same strong support was supplied to Robyn by Julie Goss. Julie came to our first meeting at Robyn’s condo prepared to evaluate the space, the broader color opportunities, and show a way forward. She took measurements and talked with Robyn on likes and dislikes, building our confidence in the process. Julie then went back to her office and pulled together choices of furniture and fabrics that met Robyn’s needs. Our daughter has minor disabilities that makes decisions more difficult and choice selections more challenging. Julie shined in this circumstance, patiently showing options and walking us around the Tysons showroom to choose styles and the style and size of furniture that work best. Julie invested two hours to get us to the finish, far more than a typical customer requires. The end result is a very happy customer.

My husband and I met with Julie at Ethan Allen to select furniture, lighting and rugs for our newly renovated open concept family room and eat-in kitchen. From our first meeting until the installation, Julie was easy to work with, responsive, and thorough with the pricing and ordering process. She also has exquisite taste and a lovely demeanor. We will definitely work with her again on any future projects. Highly recommend!

My husband and I had a very pleasant and productive experience last week with Julie when we came to Ethan Allen for assistance in selecting new furniture for our family room. Julie combined a perfect balance of understanding which styles and features appealed to us and providing expert guidance so we could make informed decisions on each piece. This is the second time we have worked with Julie and we had an equally positive experience the first time. We would not hesitate to recommend her services.

Julie helped us furnish and decorate our dining room, sunroom and eat in kitchen. She is patient, helpful and very easy to work with. I'd highly recommend her!
