28 Jan 2013 501 LIFE contributor receives award
RaeLynn Callaway of Classically Yours interiors – and a regular contributor to 501 LIFE – has been awarded “Best Of Houzz” 2013 by Houzz, the leading online platform for residential remodeling and design.
Callaway, a nationally published, licensed interior designer was chosen by the more than 11 million monthly users that comprise the Houzz community.
The Houzz “Best Of Houzz” award for 2013 is given in two categories: Customer Satisfaction and Design.
Customer Satisfaction award winners are based on homeowner members who rated their experience working with remodeling professionals in 12 categories ranging from architects, and interior designers to contractors and other residential remodeling professionals.
Design award winners’ work was the most popular among the community of 11 million monthly users, also known as “Houzzers,” who saved more than 124 million professional images of home interiors and exteriors to their personal ideabooks via the Houzz site, iPad/iPhone app and Android app. Callaway and her company won in both the Design and Customer Satisfaction Category.
“It is an honor to know that not only my clients but other home owners are inspired by these designs,” Callaway said. “I love what I do and I want every family to enjoy their home. I consider each family that I serve a true blessing.”
“Houzz provides homeowners with an in-depth, 360-degree view of building, remodeling and design professionals through images of their work, reviews and an opportunity to interact with them directly in the Houzz community,” said Liza Hausman, vice president of community. “We’re delighted to recognize RaeLynn among our ‘Best Of‘ professionals for design and exceptional customer service as judged by our community of homeowners and design enthusiasts who are actively remodeling and decorating their homes.”
Callaway was one of only three designer selected in Arkansas.
