Praise

Brenda is truly a delight to work with. While being an immense talent; she is patient, kind and most importantly, listens to my vision while helping achieve the results that I enjoy!

I have been working with Brenda for about 10 years now at Gabbert's. Her expertise in knowing furniture design and fabrics has really helped to guide us as we have made selections for our home. She is truly a design professional and always knows exactly how to pull it all together. People come to our house and think that I'm the design expert - not true! We have developed a really great working relationship and I know that I can trust her judgment completely. She keeps track of all the details and is always very organized and a pleasure to work with!

We have used Brenda Cooper as our design specialist over the last few years, as we have been decorating various rooms in our home.Unlike other decorators we have worked with, Brenda's first focus was getting to know us and what our aspirations were for our home. We met several times at her Gabbert's office, but more importantly for us, she took the time to visit our home several times. This personal service, along with Gabbert's long standing reputation in the Minneapolis marketplace is what what keeps us coming back.

I have worked with Brenda Cooper of Gabberts Design Studio for the past four years. Brenda has consistently demonstrated a keen skill for understanding her client's needs, while never pushing her own agenda, something I have not found in other designers. She has a great eye for color, scale and balance and readily grasps my eclectic taste. Brenda listens and takes her time in understanding my desired outcome. As a result, I have been 100% satisfied with all of my purchases. The fabric choices she has provided are nearly limitless, something I value greatly as opposed to offering only a few options to choose from. And when I do not see exactly what I need in the Studio, she researches manufacturers that offer the perfect solution. Brenda has always enabled me to find the perfect furniture and accessories and as a result I have furnished my entire home through Gabberts by working with Brenda.

Initially hesitant to work with a designer, I couldn’t have been more fortunate and happy to have worked with Brenda. She grasped my desires and style by pulling several rooms together in an open floor plan that is harmonious, stunning and comfortable with her interior design expertise of furniture collections, fabrics, textures and selections. Brenda knows the collections, was always prepared, and brought design recommended actions that lifted my spaces out of the “ordinary, predictable” me with her creativity and style.

We highly recommend Brenda for your interior design projects. Brenda recently assisted us in the remodeling of our piano room decor. She worked effortlessly around the style we envisioned. She patiently made sure we not only loved our furniture pieces, but that the scale, comfort, fabric match, wood grain, stain…..even the appropriate hobnail were in place and to our liking! She provided her valuable insight, yet gave a listening ear to our ideas as well. Brenda always gave us the time we needed. She has a wonderfully calm demeanor! We are not from the area, but when we met, she was very prepared with all of her samples and swatches. She returned emails promptly answering our questions. Most importantly, she never pushed us into any decisions. When it could have been easy to "just make a sale" she told us when something would not be right and provided us with alternative options. We could not be any happier in our beautiful new room!! Thank you Brenda! You make decorating a pleasure!
