Letters of Recommendation
Coates Reid & Waldron
“Having know and worked with Shannon Grady for over twelve years now, I would refer no other to my most cherished clients.
Time and time again she has amazed and impressed me with her professionalism in dealing with people, the quality and consistency of her work and the uncanny ability to remain within the budget and to complete jobs on schedule.
With all these attributes, Shannon has actually helped me close transactions that otherwise might not have happened. She was able to commit that a new 3300 sq. ft. million dollar town home could be fully accessorized and ready for occupancy within 45 days. The date of the phone call was November 5th, it was the best Christmas they had ever had.
It is without hesitation that I recommend Shannon.”

"I would like to express how impressed I am with the design abilities of Shannon Grady. I'm an interior photographer and have shot for Better Homes, Ladies Home Journal, Designs West, Metropolitan Homes, Colorado Homes and Lifestyles, Architectural Record and Digest, and others. Shannon is one of the best I've ever photographed and in fact, I had Shannon do the interior design on my new studio in Aspen.
She's good."

"I recently purchased a condominium in Aspen for my personal use and to rent out. The unit needed extensive renovation and redecorating. Due to my busy schedule, I was only able to visit Aspen once to make plans for this work.
After meeting with Shannon and exchanging ideas, I was very impressed with her confidence and selected her to do the job. We had to deal with difficult time constraints to have the unit ready to rent for Christmas.
It was a pleasure working with Shannon from New York. I was apprised of the progress regularly. A number of problems with the unit came up that we had not anticipated and with Shannon's help I was able to take care of everything from New York. In addition, I gave Shannon permission to pick out most of the colors, fabrics and accessories on her own. I was not disappointed with a single item that Shannon picked out. The condo was ready by Christmas and the workmen she chose did an impeccable job. I look forward to each visit to Aspen for the pleasure it is to stay in my second home as well as to see Shannon who is a delightful person to know.
I highly recommend Shannon's work, especially to anyone decorating from out of town."

Smith & Smith Enterprises, Inc.
"My general contracting company, Smith & Smith Enterprises, Inc., and I have worked closely with Shannon Grady of Aspen Design on a number of residential projects of considerable scope and size in the Aspen/Snowmass area.
Throughout every phase of those projects, from initial conception to final completion and move-in, Smith & Smith maintained an excellent working relationship with Ms. Grady and her design company. Our relationship has been so good, in fact, that when the time came for Ms. Grady to open her own furnishings store, Designs West, she chose our company to remodel the space.
I would recommend Shannon Grady to the discriminating homeowner who is seeking a designer with refined sensibilities and an artistic eye for style and detail."

"I would like to introduce you to Shannon Grady who has helped me with the interior design in Aspen. I have been most please with the results.
Even though you may have your own interior designer, it is wise to have a local Aspen person involved as well.
Shannon also owns a store called Designs West in Aspen which specializes in custom home furnishings and designs which also has some accessories on display.
As I have said, I have been well pleased with her work and I would highly recommend her to you."

"It is not often you find someone as competent as Shannon Grady of Aspen Design, which is undoubtedly why she has so many letters of recommendation.
On two separate occasions, my wife, Anne, and I found working with her to be an absolute pleasure and highly recommend her as a most professional, responsible and creative interior designer."

"Over the past two years, my wife and I have worked closely with Shannon Grady on the renovation and expansion of an existing home we purchased in Snowmass. Shannon was responsible for preparing space layouts, designs for the renovation of the bathrooms, purchase and installation of the majority of the furniture and accessories. She also provided ideas to the architect and contractor which have resulted in our family having a special mountain ranch style home.
Shannon was very creative in her ideas for materials, fabrics and the many details which make a project of this type successful.
We are glad to give her work a positive recommendation."
