I have hired her for a variety of projects including the furnishing of a commercial space, my son's nursery, and most recently, large-scale renovation and restoration of my historic home. She is professional and to-the-point while still warm and caring. I have found that, as a visual/creative person myself, she has been able to incorporate my ideas, push my boundaries, and edit down my tendencies to stray all over the place in a wonderful way, and the results have been consistent and cohesive (and deservedly praised in publications). I love the spaces she has done, and look forward to our future projects together!

Amanda of Mandarina has been a pleasure to work with. I have hired her for three separate projects over the past several years — kitchen/living area remodel, bath remodel, and furnishing a new residence — and have been entirely pleased with each of them. Her eye for design is impeccable, but she also has the important technical know-how to make sure that everything fits correctly and is scaled to the space. She is readily available, accommodating, and very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Mandarina Studio. Working with Amanda made each project a lot less stressful than it otherwise would have been!

We hired Amanda Reid at Mandarina to help us with an entire home remodel. She was, in a word, incredible. Her attention to detail was fastidious, her eye impeccable, and best of all, her manner was so wonderful to work with. She has the incredible ability to be able to understand what is going in my head and the look I am trying to achieve even though I am not able to articulate it perfectly. My favorite part about working with her is her ability to cut through the noise and find the best execution of a “look.” People walk into our home and are amazed at how well executed each room is and how it feels like us, just the best version. I know we owe that in large part to Amanda. It was a joy and an honor to work with someone who is a real gem.

When we first bought our house we knew that there was so much potential. It is because of Amanda and Mandarina Studio that this potential was realized. Every detail from light fixtures, window coverings, paint colors, furniture and even linens were carefully thought through and perfectly executed. We wouldn't change a thing. Amanda worked with us on a full concept from basement to attic and transformed it into our forever home.

We have worked with Amanda Reid from Mandarina Studio since 2013. She has designed all the bedrooms in our condo, including a nursery. When we bought a larger house in 2016 and did a gut renovation, Amanda helped us design and furnish the entire house, including a large kitchen, 5 bathrooms, 5 bedrooms, a playroom, home gym, and even the patio furniture. I can't say enough good things about Amanda. She is extremely professional, very sensitive to client requests and budget, her responsiveness and attention to detail is amazing. Every room in our house is beautiful, unique, and truly works for our family. Amanda is the best out there!
