If I could give zero stars I would. We found a blue and white ottoman for $200.00 that we loved. When we wanted to purchase it, they told us that it was originally from a tent sale and it had been dirty but they had "cleaned it up" and now they couldn't sell it for that price. Instead, they offered to sell it to us for 50% off the original price of $995.00.
So they are selling "dirty, cleaned up" items on the floor of their shop ( without customer knowledge) and not honoring their own price tag of $200.00.
Instead, they removed the sale price tag of $200.00 in front of us and now presumably they are selling it for the original price of $995.00 or perhaps the "sale price" of 50% off $995.00 but not letting customers know that the item has been dirty and subsequently "cleaned up."
This means that any item purchased in the Hurlbutt store could have been in a tent sale, become dirty and stained, and then "cleaned up" and the customer would never know and think they were purchasing a new item. This is an upscale shop that should not be involved in such shady practices. Dishonest
and Disgraceful!! Retailers should honor their own sale price tags and should not be passing off "cleaned up" items from a tent sale as new.

I have worked with Louise and Hurlbutt design for many years both in updating our home and then helping us from start to finish on a new home. She is wonderful to work with—she met with us early on listening to what we were looking for, offering constructive and very helpful suggestions. She approached our project very much as a partnership with us…never pushing any one idea but spending the time with us as we consider options and offering alternatives when she knew we were still unsure. It was a joy and a pleasure to work with Louise and her team!

I have worked with Hurlbutt Designs for the past 10 years - their team has decorated my 2 homes with 2 more in the queue. My homes have been featured in many magazines. I would highly recommend this team. I couldn’t be more happy and would also be a reference .

The Hurlbutt Design Team are experienced and talented professionals. Their customer service, quality assurance, attention to detail, follow through and follow-up exceed your every expectation, without exception.
Regardless of how small, large or complex your design requirements; Hurlbutt’s designers delivers on time and at budget; and provides you “white glove service” from start to finish — while building a trusted relationship with you well beyond your project’s completion.
Hurlbutt’s Team takes pride in, and responsibility, accountability and ownership for all of their contractor’s and artisan’s work, supplier’s timelines and merchandise quality.
Most importantly, the Hurlbutt team listens; and collaborated with you in true partnership to make your dreams both an aesthetic work of beauty with a functional practicality.
Their administration, budgeting and billing are an integrated process that provides you with realistic milestones, timely updates and cost effective pricing. Their change process is simple and it’s coordinated seamlessly throughout your project workflows and scheduling,
Lastly Louise and her team have a very well deserved, trusted and respected reputation in the community (which they give back to) and with their contractors, vendors, suppliers and their customers.
In today’s world of supply chain fits and starts.
Price inflation. Inadequately trained staff and
9am - 4pm work ethics. Questionable quality and craftsmanship and customer service; and pointing the finger the other way as in “it’s not me.”
You’ll get none of that with Hurlbutt’s team.
What you will get is fair pricing, best practices, best in class design, top quality merchandise and craftsmanship, superior 24/7 customer service and a hassle free wonderful experience.
We have been “raving fans” of Hurlbutt’s Design, ever since we moved to Kennebunkport six years ago — and Louise and team have been our “go to”
design team for our family’s multiple small, large and complex projects from purchasing tchotchkes in her store to major kitchen, bath and media room renovations, sunroom, dinning room and garage additions, indoor and outdoor furniture, lighting and so much more.
We are clients for life!

The owners are money hungry, swear at and call their employees names. I have never met a group of people with less care for someone’s personal life than these folks here. Two old grumpy not so good designers. Things are always broken here, your thousands of dollars that you spend on this item that they pay maybe a few hundred for. What a sad business. What a sad group of owners, taking three lively hood off of people backs because they had COVID a week before it was announced and had to be out. Very sad excuse of a company. Do not do business here.

There are much better design studios to support that offer better service, quality, and pricing. Owner is unprofessional and not a kind person.

Worked here for over two years, worked hard and even stayed overnight in other states for this company, what I learned after being let go without warning by Louise and Ralph Hurlbutt is that there is no respect for employees in their business, they belittle people beyond imagination and are VERY rude to their staff. Such a shame that all employees have to put up with such a sorry business.

What I did not like about the owners, was their effectiveness of deceit towards me and others. But apparently this is how they make their money.

First time in the store and I loved it. I could literally buy anything in the store and be very happy. Many unique accessories, gifts etc as well as gorgeous and unique furniture.
