BOOK A TOUR
I purchased my first apartment – a two bed/one bath in a pre-war building – in late 2007. For months, it was unfurnished, unpainted and uninspired due primarily to my hectic work schedule. In addition to having little time to focus on it, I also lacked direction. While I knew that I wanted my apartment to be reflective of my personality and style, I just didn’t know where to begin. Enter Mindy.
From the date that we began working together, Mindy listened to me and designed a plan that was responsive to my wishes yet also went beyond my initial vague vision. Mindy patiently helped me select a color scheme that makes my home feel cohesive yet warm, built-in bookcases and radiator covers that complement the time period of my building and furniture that is elegant but also functional. In place of four empty rooms, I now have a beautiful and comfortable living room, an elegant dining room, a peaceful and relaxing bedroom and a warm and functional guest bedroom. In short, I now have a home.
Throughout the process, Mindy was a true professional. She was sensitive to my busy work schedule and the requirements of my building, ensuring deliveries arrived when they were scheduled and workers were on time and completed their work appropriately. She also took the time to share her passion and knowledge of design and art with me, so that I truly felt that I was part of the design process. Overall, I could not be happier with how my apartment looks and feels – I smile every night when I come home and am still receiving compliments from friends and family on my beautiful home!

I love my new home thanks to Mindy.
I wanted my new space to be attractive, warm, welcoming, comfortable, simple and reflective of my new life. Equally important, it had to hold what mattered most to me: my family photos, my art – especially my husband’s paintings, treasured books and my eclectic collection of things gathered through a lifetime, that I could not bear to discard. I also had a budget and timeline.
Out of the clutter of my life lived on two continents, in five cities and eleven homes, plus the challenge of moving into the smallest space I had ever called home, Mindy gave life to my vision (culled from my inarticulate expression, her keen observations, and her tremendous knowledge of what she does). She did it well. Sizing up the strengths and weaknesses of the space, suggesting this fixture or that sofa, using that old table but urging me to buy that new bed, finding the incredible craftsmen to build the cabinets that “made” the room & dragging me to places that I wouldn’t have thought of myself.
She stretched me, taught me and always respected me, my ideas, values, budget & my timeline.
Professional, prompt, hardworking. No hour seemed too late or too early, cheerful and energetic, she was and is a pleasure to know and work with.
As it has been said, “The proof is in the pudding.”
Thanks, Mindy.

Mindy has designed three entirely different spaces for me over the past 10 years and in doing so has proven her versatility as an interior designer. We started with a dull Manhattan studio which she transformed into a beautiful pied-a-terre. The tasteful combination of wall colors, window treatments and furniture created a cheerful and cozy atmosphere, and every inch of space was put to practical use in a “non-overwhelming” manner.
We then moved on to a country house. Mindy proved she could handle large spaces just as efficiently. In the end, my wonderful home not only had the perfect country “feel,” but reflected my personality.
We just recently concluded the third project, a large two-bedroom apartment with floor to ceiling windows. Again, Mindy created the perfect design for a chic city apartment.
Have you ever dealt with a salesperson that promises to find you your perfect “whatever,” then attempts to unload their own inventory? I can guarantee that with Mindy, you’ll never have an experience like this. She is an intelligent, creative and extremely reliable listener/designer who will help you create YOUR perfect space, no matter what your budget. She’s a real gem!

We just love our apartment so much and we have you to thank for it!! Everything has turned out really well. We love the bedroom furniture – it’s so beautiful. The sofa, entertainment center, dining table – the whole apartment is really comfortable, extremely practical and looks great also. Also, we just adore the desk!
All of our light fixtures also look great – and everything looks beautiful with the paint colors.
Thank you so much for all of your help in turning our apartment into a beautiful home. We love living here and always say that we look forward to coming home every night – and that’s really what it should be all about.

I hardly know where to begin in recommending Mindy – she turned my apartment into a home. At first, I had my opinions and tried to impart my taste into the mix and then it clicked…I finally got it! When I let Mindy do “her thing” the magic began. I took a back seat and let Mindy do the driving.
My home is now my palace. From a small bowl she merely picked up to accent my end table to the stunning curtains I would never have selected, or the custom wall unit I desperately needed for storage – every little thing is pulled together. She added important pieces into the mix that brought my personality into my home, and kept in mind my budget and scheduling needs. She listens and understands yet guides you into making the right choices. To say I love my home doesn’t even come close to describing how I really feel when I enter, to lounge or to entertain. Sometimes I can’t even believe I live here and it is all due to Mindy. All in all, I write this to anyone who is even half way on the fence about using a designer and specifically Mindy Miles Greenberg.
Let go and let Mindy make magic for you and the rest is domestic bliss.
