Heather did an amazing job on our son's bedroom. We wanted to create a custom Yankee's theme room. -- and she hit a home run. All walls were hand pin-striped with the perfect size "pinstripes". I was concerned the pin-stripes would be too thick and look like a jail cell like most of the images I had seen on the internet. Heather hand painted perfect 1/4 inch pin-stripes around the entire room -- and created the perfect jersey rendition on the walls of my son's room. We also requested a custom looking baseball be painted in the center of the ceiling which would created a 3 dimensional view in the ceiling try. Again she exceeded our request with her artistic talent. If you are looking for an artist who is as kind as she is talented -- I highly recommend you give Heater a call to help you with your home decoration needs.

Heather did the finishing touches on my new kitchen/great room. Faux finishes, flat finishes, a decorative cubby in blacks and metallics (I still have no idea how she does this!)....faux wood door finishes that make my metal door look better than my oak door! Stenciling...my hallways..bathroom cabinetry...."aging" my kitchen corbels....I could go on and on! Plus my exterior bird feeder after I begged for an add on project! Heather plans her work...a base coat here, a second coat there, a primer over there...so that she is always working and never waiting for some thing to dry. She is the queen of efficiency. I let Heather have my garage door code so she could come and go at will...never a concern about trustworthiness! She is thoughtful, unobtrusive and my dog loved her...now THAT is a character reference! I have referred her to many friends and remodeling companies but then I thought I shouldn't have done that.....I don't want her so busy that I can't hire her again! She's an amazing artist. You will not be disappointed.

Heather created etched glass for doors in my newly renovated kitchen - a pocket door and two side by side half doors. The doors are now pieces of art - they are my kitchen’s show stoppers! Heather was absolutely lovely to work with. Our house was built in the 1920’s so I wanted the glass to fit in with that time period - I sent her pictures of what I had in mind and she was able to create the perfect design.

Heather worked her magic in my new home entrance way. She and her assistant were wonderful to work with and came up with a very unique look. It was just what my husband and I were looking for. Everyone that has come to see my house loves what she did with this area. She is truly a gifted artist that I would absolutely recommend. It was a pleasure to work with her!

Heather is a true artist and every aspect of her work is professional! When we first met she asked me numerous questions and gave me some wonderful and unique ideas. She completely changed my bathroom! It is updated, fresh and we absolutely love it. I never would have added stripes, but it is a beautiful change. She was efficient, clean, and completely trustworthy. I will use her again and again!! Do not hesitate to ask for a brilliant update.

Heather recently completed a project for us where she did 'decorative painting all over with stencil design motif'. It turned out so gorgeous that we are still stopping and staring at the beauty! She is a most gifted and experienced artist capable of any task you give her. From beginning to end, she was extremely careful to make sure we were satisfied with each step of the project, explaining her process and answering questions as she went. She is such a kind and gentle soul. Thank you, Heather, and we look forward to your return for the next project. ..

I came across Heather's work when I was searching for a decorative painter to tackle a display wall in my New York City Showroom. I was interested in a special technique and upon looking at her website determined she would be the one who could handle it. Heather created actual painted samples and mailed them to me in advance for my approval which was so reassuring. She really took the time to get the smokey color palette just right! Her schedule was tight but she was able to fit us in and drove all the way to Manhattan and completed the project in record time. It was such a joy to hear her explain her process from start to finish. She truly loves what she does and is being talented! I HIGHY recommend for anyone searching for something unique and done to perfection.

Heather is wonderful to work with: patient, supportive, creative, skilled and flexible. She has been helping me reinvent a Syracuse area 20's house. She has done more than provide interior design know-how; she has given me hope that I can live a more comfortable life in my house. Easy to work with and professional in all of her dealings with customers, I recommend her unqualifiedly to anyone looking to create unique interiors with a true artist's help and support.

Heather is a professional in every sense of the word. She has an amazing talent that will leave you breathless! The most recent project was a feature wall in our master bedroom which brought a sense of warmth and elegance to the space. She also refinished a beautiful bed room set from my husbands childhood.....it came out amazing! She delivered her projects on time and in budget! I plan on utilizing Heather on many projects to come.

Commented: This cabinet- how, when, where?!?Hello, This piece was actually a family heirloom - I've seen similar in antique shops and estate sales. It was natural wood. I prepped/primed and painted it the red 'Chinoise lacquer' base-coat wit...
