FR Review:
After training with Josef Pricci for eight years, Bonni Braverman struck out on her own in 1998 with a clean contemporary mix. Neutral palettes are favored, with judicious accessories adding highlights. Clients with modern art and a fresh view are particularly drawn to this aesthetic, and appreciate Braverman's professional attitude and streamlined looks.
Braverman's clients range from Manhattan bachelors to Westchester families to Midwesterners redoing their NYC pied-à-terres. Clients report that Braverman will happily do either one room at a time or a complete renovation. Budgets tend to evolve one piece at a time, but generally add up to about $75,000 to $100,000 for a living room. A solo practitioner, Braverman reportedly is very responsive, solution-driven and client-focused. With an excellent array of sources, she "always finds a way to make it happen."
A standard retainer is taken up-front, and a lower commission on product. If there is no product fee, a standard hourly rate is charged. Clients return for Braverman's practical, and helpful approach, and recommend her to friends.
Representative Client Comments:
"This was a tough project involving NYC construction and regulations. Bonni did a great job working for me while I was traveling. I didn't worry it wouldn't get done." "Great management skills." "We trusted Bonni to run the entire construction project and will use her again." "Good at creating cozy little spaces out of nothing." "She is so good about following up on the impossibly late fabric manufacturers. She does all the legwork." "She employs respect even when a situation requires her to be stern with subcontractors." "I would recommend her highly to anyone who wants to redo an urban dwelling." "Attentive, enthusiastic, imaginative, and always exceedingly professional." "Never goes over budget, always preferring the sparse." "Bonni would not show me anything that I could not afford." "Bonni brings depth of knowledge, experience, and good taste to her work. She is personable with a very calm manner." "My husband is very opinionated and wants to see everything, not just the pictures, before we commit. Bonni worked really hard to make it work."

Great value, style and creativity. A pleasure to work with.
Project Description & Comments:
Bonni E. Braverman decorated my Georgetown apartment shown. She did an excellent job, amazing attention to detail and at a great value.
She incorporated my piano by the window where many hours are spent relaxing.
She was a pleasure to work with. Shopping with her was always fun and she was consistanly attuned to my budget, taste and lifestyle.
This is my third project with her as she did three bathrooms and a kitchen in my previous Connecticut house. I recommend her with no reservations.
