Testimonials

Tout le Monde was in charge of remodeling our master bathroom and guest bathroom. Ruth Axtell, the owner of Tout le Monde Interiors, not only contributed to the design of the bathrooms but hired an experienced, well-qualified contractor that essentially gutted both bathrooms and rebuilt them to the specifications. Ruth listened carefully to our design ideas and was pivotal in making sure our joint decisions on design aspects were the right ones. She followed up on any problems with deliveries and made sure that there were minimal delays in construction. The fact that she is now assisting us in our master bedroom redesign is testimony to our confidence in her abilities and timeless taste.

Ruth at Tout le Monde made my shower renovation go smoothly and beautifully. Her wonderful ideas and suggestions are spot on because she really listened to us. Ruth sent us an excellent carpenter and plumber who were very courteous and highly skilled. Ruth is as lovely as she is talented. I give her my highest recommendation and look forward to working with her in the future!

Ruth is wonderful to work with. As a busy professional, I knew I needed someone I could depend on and trust to oversee all aspects of remodeling my kitchen, 2 bathrooms and flooring. Ruth made sure my project remained a priority, even during a pandemic. I highly recommend her and would definitely hire her again.

My wife and I struggled for years about how to refresh our first floor. We could not come to an agreement on colors, window treatments, paint or wall coverings and so on. I had met Ruth through work she had done at the hospital where I worked. A short chat later Ruth was visiting us at our home in Needham, MA.

From the moment she arrived, she immediately began getting an understanding of our particular leanings with color palettes, style and was developing a plan of action. Within 20 minutes we were selecting wall coverings, and paint colors. Ruth brought an incredibly craftsman to the renovations of our dining room, living room, family room and kitchen.

Ruth coordinated the recovering of the dining room. chairs, sofa and loveseat. Crown molding was created for the dining and living room and in the entry foyer. New window treatments and shades throughout the first floor, A new mantle was built over our gas fireplace. We purchased art from several area artists and had a stained glass window created for an internal passageway.

We could not be more pleased with the final outcomes. The work was two projects completed over the course of about a year to accommodate the talented crew that Ruth brought to the jobs. We highly recommend Tout Le Monde Interiors and Ruth without reservation. She is great to work with, does not leave a single detail unattended, and is so talented in bringing ideas to us that we never might have considered.

You can see our project on Ruth's website, We are so proud to have it there!!

Ruth Axtell is a true professional. During our bathroom remodeling project Ruth was always on top of any problem that arose. Due to the pandemic, Ruth and her general contractor had trouble finding a plumber that was free during the remodeling project. Ruth took the lead to identify a replacement plumber with her general contractor and ensured the plumber was on site when he committed.

One of her greatest assets is that she listened to what we had to say whether it was about the total remodeling or the smallest of details.

Ruth spent as much time as was needed with us, meeting with various vendors, offering ideas, support and professionalism. She was always available to address any concerns and/or answer questions we may have had. Ruth is very friendly and very easy to talk to and always has a smile on her face.

Ruth is a lovely person whose main concern is helping her clients achieve a final result that they "love" through her many years of experience, knowledge and professionalism. We were so impressed with her support and management, we worked with Ruth on another home project, and will use her in the future.
