Working with the staff at Surroundings and especially Amy Riger the designer has been so much fun and a major education. Amy helped me design all the rooms of my new home. All I can say is that my home says “me”. Amy let me incorporate my few ideas into her many so I now have the home of my dreams. The best thing is that Amy was aware of my budget an never went beyond it.

When I walked into Surroundings 3 I immediately connected with Amy. She is a wonderful person and so easy to work with. I love my room it is exactly what I wanted. I had never worked with a designer before, it was a pleasure she did a lot of work for me and was very accessible. I couldn’t have done it without her! I was completely satisfied and even recommended her to my sister.

Dear Amy and everyone Surroundings3,

Thank you for all that you have done to make our house so beautiful. Originally, I was not so crazy about the idea of a "Designer" coming into our house creating "wild" designer themes and colors, making our house something of a creation. Boy, was I wrong!!!!! When Amy visited our house for the first time, she did something that few people do nowadays, she listened. She listened to our inner thoughts, she listened to our kids to find out what they liked, and she listened to both the positives and negatives of what we had to say. She learned to read our faces and immediately knew many of the things that made us... US! We are so grateful to Amy and the Staff of Suroundings3 for all of the time and energy that they put into making our house so perfectly put together. We will always remember family members walking room to room enjoying it as much as we do. Thanks again for everything,

To All Concerned:

It is with great pleasure that I write this endorsement for Amy Riger and Surroundings for their very creative interior design that they have just completed in our condo ranch. We had asked her to help us decorate our living and dining rooms and co-ordinate the decoration of the remaining rooms at a later date. She made the experience interesting and exciting. The net result was very rewarding for us and we are very pleased with the results. We look forward to completing our make over soon.

Never having used a design service before, we weren't sure what to expect.  We needn't have been concerned. Working with Amy and her professional staff at Surroundings has proven to be a delightful and productive experience.  From wall color, to fabric, to furniture, to accessories, Amy's expert knowledge, guidance (and patience) has helped create a beautiful, and livable "show place".  This has been a truly collaborative process and we thank Amy and her staff for their time and efforts on our behalf.

I have had the pleasure of working with Amy Riger in her new store Surroundings over the past year. She is patient, insightful and very talented. Amy will decorate your home and make it a fun experience as she explains to you how one fabric works while another one does not. She is always a professional and is never at a loss for ideas. Surroundings is a beautiful shop and well worth a visit.

Sincerely,

Nancy Werner

I walked into Surroundings and immediately connected with Amy; I actually thought I knew her. I love what she has done to my home. She listens and pays attention to what you want and gets a good feel for your personal design. Amy is a lot of fun to work with and we even became friends on a personal level. Anytime I walk into Surroundings it is an enjoyable experience working with both Ginny and Amy.

Dear Amy,

I wanted to write you this letter to inform you of how good of a job you are doing for me. As you know I am a single guy who lost his girlfriend 5 months ago. Meeting you was like a dream come true.
Not only did I hire a designer that’s unparallel but I received an intuitive, personable, money conscious friend as well. I really do appreciate how you adapted to my incredibly busy schedule, Yielded to my crazy meeting hours, bended with me on my opinions and directed me on finding clarity in my choices. You have put the word fun back in fundamental!
You are doing the best of jobs and will remain my “in house” designer no matter how many girlfriends I have. . . .

With all my gratitude-

J
