"I want to thank you for the wonderful job the Design Lines team did in opening our two new communities last month. From the beginning, you clearly set our expectations on every aspect of the merchandizing for the new models. You worked within our budget, and delivered the models on time. I realize it's no easy task to open two new communities (five models) at the same time, but your team did so with ease and grace. I am really impressed by how you captured the essence of HearthStone Homes in the product you delivered. It is important to us that the experience our buyer's have when they visit the models reflects our overall branding and advertising.

I value the relationship the we have developed with Design Lines over the past several years. I look forward to our future projects together. Again, thanks for the great job."

"I am sending you this e-mail so that you may distribute among the Design Lines staff. I was afraid I would leave someone out if I tried to include all the people myself. I wanted to thank all of you for the tremendous job your team did in designing and merchandising our homes. We had about 276 new guest leads this weekend. The favorable comments we received on the interiors are a true tribute to the time, effort and creativity of the entire Design Lines team. We are all thankful and grateful to have the benefit of your services here at Victoria Gardens.

Thank you."

"I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how impressed I was with the truly phenomenal job your company did in merchandising the models, clubhouse and other public spaces at Trilogy's Vistancia. As you know, we share a mutual client in Shea-Trilogy, and I was completely blown away by the consistent level of excellence your company executed among all the models and the extensive public spaces. As a former VP of a national interior merchandising firm, I have a critical eye and I am a tough judge when it comes to merchandising, and I was totally impressed with everything I saw. Few firms have the depth in both the model division and the contract division to perform so consistently at such a high level on such a large job. Congratulations on a superior performance. I will be proud to serve as a reference for your firm at any time. Best of luck and continued success."

Success Strategies

"In 1996 we were introduced to Design Lines as, for the most part, an interior designer of model homes for production builders. Since that time, they have grown with our Baby Boomer business to be one of the foremost Interior Designers of Baby Boomer targeted private and public club facilities while maintaining their expertise designing the interiors of model homes. Their influences on us as a company and their knowledge of our consumer have helped us be recognized as a premium provider of resort communities.

Ten years later the list of awards and recognitions on mutual projects is long and distinguished. They continue to take direction from clients as to their desires without compromising their ideals and principles when it comes to design. Their ability to work with and coordinate with our Architects, Landscape Architects, Civil Engineers and Golf Course Architects (along with a host of other Owner representatives) is a true asset and something we consider every time we set out to envision and design a community.

It has been exciting to grow with them in every way. Where we used to challenge them to think out of the box, more times than not today, they challenge us. Their construction documents have evolved to rival any and all of their peers in sophistication and completeness allowing us as an owner to properly transfer risk where necessary.

Finally, maybe most importantly of all, even with their significant growth, they are more of a fit culturally for us today than they were in '96. The relationship has grown to one of trust and frankly, we get to design new communities with close friends."

"On behalf of Shea Homes, I thank you so much for the remarkable results received by your talented design team! Our BackCountry - Shadowwalk Collection models are 'the talk of the town' right now, and Design Lines' ability to capture the essence of what living at BackCountry truly means is evident, yet distinctively different, in each of our four models.

I commend you, too, for making the entire design process an enjoyable one! From Dawn's incredibly detailed, yet playful buyer profiles, to the customized Shea Homes welcome mats at our model home entries, to every single accessory precisely placed in each home, we thank you for your artistry and expertise!

Congratulations on another 'job well done'!"
