Mandeville Canyon Designs

Renee possesses a rare combination of artistic creativity and intuitive design. Her warmth and compassion extended beyond working with us to understanding the style and feel of our home and how we live in it. We felt fortunate to work with and get to know Renee and absolutely love the updates she made to our home- from windows and walls to artwork and furniture!

Renee not only has an amazingly creative eye, she also directed a massive renovation for us this past year that included the challenges of operating during the pandemic. She put together a team that had an incredible work ethic and brought the project in on-time and on-budget. She's a great listener. When we threw ideas at her, she was never dismissive; quite the contrary, she made them better. Her patience and attention to detail combined with her whacky sense of humor meant we were all able to smile while producing a home that we love. A great talent and a great lady.

I have worked with Renee on a variety of design projects over the years. Resourceful, creative, clever and one of a kind are a few words that describe Renee and her design work. Not a "copy cat" designer. Want a look and finished project that is unlike any others that you will love for years to come, this is your designer!!

It was a delight to work with Renee and I am absolutely thrilled with the final outcome of the project. The entire house is stylish, yet comfortable and perfectly suited to my needs. After moving from a large colonial to a small two bedroom ranch, there was a need to redesign the open concept living/dining area to allow for entertaining family and friends. The guest bath needed to be reconfigured and a large shower added. The lighting needed changes and updating. I wanted a gas fireplace added as well. The house also came with some unfinished or poorly realized DIY projects that needed correction. I knew what needed to be done, but Renee was able to articulate my style. She added finishes such as the walnut windowsills, mantle and fireplace surround that would never have occurred to me, yet somehow are just what i wanted. By offering choices in lighting, cabinets, flooring I could make a final decision without the angst of reviewing the hundreds/thousands of products available. The choices were such that whatever I selected it would look wonderful. Her artful choice of color palette still wows me. Renee was respectful of my time and budget. She understood the need to make design choices that were safe, practical and comfortable for the three large dogs that share this small home. And she did so without sacrificing one iota of style. Renee was professional, honest and a lot of fun to work with! Renee is well connected to vendors that have an excellent array of quality products within a variety of price ranges. My contractor was exceptionally pleased with how easy she was to work with and how smoothly everything on her end of the project ran. For these reasons and more, I highly recommend Mandeville Canyon Designs.

Renee has helped me design the space for both of my Physical Therapy offices. The spaces are so warm and comfortable. Our clients really enjoy the space and presents our company is a very professional manner.

I worked with Mandeville Canyon Designs to update my home. The experience was exceptional. Renee really understood how I use my home and what I like. She was incredibly detailed in her design from the furniture, window treatments, art, accessories all the way to the perfect electrical outlets. Nothing was overlooked. Renee provides white glove service. She took care of everything so I didn’t have any stress throughout the project. Whenever I had a question, she responded quickly and even worked directly with the contractors so I could concentrate on work and family. Everything was perfect. My house is more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I love walking in my front door. I’m lucky to have worked with such talented, thoughtful and caring person. Going forward, I will only work with Renee and Mandeville Designs.

Renee is amazing on so many levels. We worked with 2 designers before her and my husband and I wish we would have found Renee sooner!!! Not only is she a very creative designer, she is a very kind person. We always feel comfortable talking through things with her. She really listens and got to know us and our personal taste very well. I referred a good friend to her and she is also very happy with Mandeville Canyon Designs. I will definitely be using Mandeville Canyon Designs again as things come up! The other thing I want to mention is how well Renee manages relationships with the subcontractors, which is key when trying to execute a design. She has a cheerful and kind demeanor and everyone who works with her likes and respects her. You really can't go wrong with Mandeville Canyon. Thank you, Renee, for everything you have done for us. Our home wouldn't be nearly as special as it is without you and your ideas!

I purchased a home with the intention of having a pool and entertainment space however I didn't realize the challenge of having a sloped yard as well as a water drainage issue. I didn't know where to start and Renee Carman was recommended to me. I feel extremely lucky to have been directed to her. She and I worked well together and could depend on her to provide me with a classy design and to be there the entire project to communicate with the landscapers, contractors, electricians, pool company and plumbers. It was an extremely large job and she handled everything and everyone with professionalism and grace.

Renee has been an absolute pleasure to work with and has significantly simplified the design of our new home. She has provided so much character and personality with her ideas that my wife and I would never have created on our own. Renee is worth the investment and I would highly recommend sitting down with her to discuss your needs. Use Mandeville Canyon Design and you will improve the quality of your project!.

Renee and Heather are incredible designers in every way! They really listened to us - our likes, dislikes, even in between the lines. They designed 5 rooms for our new home and we were stunned at how well they captured our styles while also giving us the confidence to try new things that would still feel like a natural part of our home. Both Renee and Heather were professional, friendly, accessible, and so considerate of our budget; we had a limited amount to spend and they worked with us every step of the way to make sure we were able to get what we wanted while staying within our means. I can't say enough about what a joy it was to work with them and how good it feels to have a plan that we love for our new home. If you're looking to remodel your home, even just one room, take the plunge and hire Mandeville Canyon, I promise you won't regret it!

Mandeville Canyon Design, and Renee in particular, is the kind of design firm that I wish everyone knew about. I cannot say enough good things about how taken care of I feel through an entire home remodel/renovation. Renee's so talented, but one of the best things about her work is how she really listens to me as a client. She is a fabulous sounding board, and she is also quite good at "listening" to the space she's working in. In this way we have ended up with a home that is beautiful, livable, and functioning for all of us. Renee has helped me with my office as well--there isn't any design question or project I wouldn't ask her about first.

Renee has worked with us on may projects. She brings such creativity and flexibility to each aspect of interior design. We have renovated a barn, kitchen, & bathrooms with her expertise. She always knows when to add a pop of color or a rustic piece to finish a room and her knowledge of the construction process is such a bonus. I would highly recommend Renee for any interior design project, large or small!
