I found Weekender House after reading online reviews. We were moving cross-country and needed to furnish an entire condo. Based on a few long-distance calls and some Houzz photos I'd sent them of styles I liked, Chad and Jen were able to discern exactly what I was looking for . At our first design meeting, they had many samples and ideas for each room at various price points, but I found myself going with their first offerings every time. They had clearly listened to what I liked yet offered fresh perspective, fun new ideas I couldn't have thought of on my own. I worked mainly with Jen, but this shop has a team of designers who collaborate. Someone is always there to help. Delivery went smoothly, and the furniture, rugs, lamps, etc. are high-quality, the prettiest I've ever owned. More...

We loved working with Margo at Weekender House. We can't say enough great things about her! She listened to our concerns and was able to bring creative ideas to solve our Family Room's design dilemmas. We are still working with her on accessories for the room and other projects we have.
Margo is such a warm person with abounding enthusiasm and a genuine love for what she does. She truly has a gift and we would highly recommend Margo! More...

My experience working with Chad has been excellent. The large showroom with many arrangements gives lots of choices and the large viewing screen enables you to see furniture placed in your exact space. I am most grateful that he was able to give honest feedback about a table I was thinking of purchasing. I stopped by the store to show him pictures of a dining room table that I found and to ask his thoughts on how that would look with the existing furniture I had purchased from Weekender House. In his kind and gentle manner he suggested that we take a look at what I had and what we were trying to achieve. After spending one and a half hours of unscheduled time it was clear the unique table would be a distraction. With Chad's help I was able to find the perfect dining table that looked great with the 10 chairs I was hoping to order. Chad and his staff are very professional, timely when they make house calls and knowledgeable about the products they carry. The installation and delivery team arrives on time and completes the job quickly. I highly recommend Chad and his team. They are talented decorators who are also ethical and kind and a respected team in the seacoast. More...

I have to say , this place is amazing... Very unique furniture, and great quality. They offer a very cool service where they come to your home ($150) and create a plan for your space, along with furniture rugs blinds and all. Chad was great and really wowed my wife with his ideas. Trust me this is hard to do. The $150 also goes towards your purchase.. Thanks Chad.. And all the staff. You've got a customer for life.. More...

I hired Chad Callihan and Jenn Jamison of the Weekender House to design two rooms in our new and empty house. Jenn and Chad were quick to assess our needs and style - producing a vision of collected pieces and a color palette that we instantly agreed to. We also had a subsequent design session to encompass a third room, expanding the original budget and scope. We are thrilled with the completed results!

This team are skilled listeners, and through this process only presented design elements based on what they had learned from us - which allowed us to move quickly to agreement. They also place a high focus and value on client satisfaction, which effectively put us in control of the overall budget and end result. They are adept at turning constraints into choices - and we didn't get anything we didn't want - and we didn't pay more than we were willing to pay.

I expect to continue to work with Chad and Jenn to complete this house, and others that we own. I also would highly recommend them to anyone in need of tasteful design assistance. The entire project was enjoyable, exciting and - now that we are living in it - worth every dollar. More...
