We worked with Carley Montgomery and her team at New Utopia Design Build to stage three separate spec houses. Each home was architecturally stunning -- with materials chosen by Carley to reflect the diverse, artistic and eclectic tastes of the Northeast Los Angeles region. It was a joy to stage these spaces, as Carley had made excellent finish choices -- cement tile, Italian plaster, sleek modern cabinetry, rustic wood flooring and clean, crisp angles everywhere.

We discovered Carley while browsing a renovated home in Silverlake...it wasn't the right property for us to purchase, but we loved the design choices and decor so we inquired about the brains behind the project. After meeting Carley, my wife & I felt relieved to have met a designer who clearly understands the vibe we're looking for (mid-century/hip), and we really appreciate her responsiveness and positive energy.

Carley is truly a visionary with meticulous attention to detail. Amazing to work with and proud to call my friend. We met at a new project that I was the listing agent and Carley was the contractor. She was involved in every step of the way and was a valuable resource to have. Looking forward to working with her for many years to come! Some of her past projects we had the privilege of working with Carley on were: http://www.334hobart.com http:www.1011stanley.com

Carley has an excellent eye and styled my new downtown space with a mix of comfortable, design, just the right amount of authentic Austin vibe, and her own unique touch. I had some great ideas and art she was able to take those and refine them - such a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended to anyone who wants something truly unique to them with a great understanding of space and classic design.

We hired Carley to help us with the remodel of our house. Carley is an extremely talented designer / builder with impeccable taste and a great eye for style and detail. She was able to bring her ideas and blend it with what we were looking to accomplish. She is also a savvy contractor. Carley's skills of problem solving in order to fit into our budget allowed us to minimize creative compromises. The resources she has at her finger tips made it possible to have custom work without the custom budget.

We just purchased our first home to flip, and was referred to Carley through a mutual friend. She didn’t disappoint! Carley was one time, excited about the house and its prospects, and her ideas were on point in every aspect. She has a phenomenal eye for design, motifs and colors. Carley worked with us, blending our ideas with her expertise. She has a contractors license which was extremely helpful in the schedule for the flip, as it’s a live-in during construction.
