A very professional woman, I would recommend Christi's expertise to anyone that needs advice with their decorating!”

“Cheryl at Beautifying Spaces helped me with an addition to my house where I was adding an attached garage and breezeway. She was amazing! She came up with a design that seamlessly tied in with the existing structure and yet included modern touches and maximized the views from the breezeway. The breezeway is now one of the most striking features of the house. Her attention to detail was extraordinary ensuring every last item was addressed and I stayed on budget. I am already thinking about the next project she can help me with.”

“Solstice Design designed our salon. Janet's eye for detail was able to take what I wanted and create a salon I would not have been able to design myself but exactly what I wanted. Janet picked colors that complimented the space, yet expanded on it to create a comfortable yet spacious feeling. It's upscale without feeling stuffy. It's modern without feeling cold. We couldn't be happier and our customers love the look.”

“I worked with Ruth on a major archtectural kitchen renovation, and would recommend her to all that will listen. Ruth was creative, professional, honest, and consistently exceeded my expectations of what an interior designer could do for me. Her knowledge of and relationships within the industry were extensive and afforded me the opportunity to truly see what my options were, both in materials and in pricing. I have worked with Ruth on several other smaller projects, and her consistent delivery of outstanding results as well as her unwavering personal integrity will keep me coming back for more!”

“I went from a house full of blah, builder’s white walls to fabulous, spirited surroundings in a complementary palette of warm reds, yellows and greens. Sharon helped me to determine the right colors, coaching me every step of the way. And, she considered my budget and family's needs as we decorated.”

“We have worked with Penelope Daborn Ltd. on several occasions. We are always pleased with the results. Penny has helped in choosing colors, fabrics and drapes. We recently built a new porch and we had seen a sofa we liked in a magazine. Penny helped to design the piece to be built. In addition she helped with the spatial arrangement of the room, the selection of fabric and window coverings and additional furnishings. We originally worked with Penelope Daborn Ltd. 7 years ago when we moved to a new house. We always come back for her expert eye, wealth of knowledge and the top notch coordination in making the arrangements for acquiring what we need.”

“Theresa did an incredible job to help me redesign my living room. Her sense of style and design have made my home feel warm and inviting. I have had numerous comments from family and friends on the beauty of the space. Theresa made the process easy and affordable.”

“Marcye Philbrook did interior design work for us over a period of about a year. She is not only a great designer, but a delightful person to interact with in every way. Marcye is a good listener — she quickly understood what we were looking for and adapted her proposals to suit our tastes and sensibilities, while also introducing us to a lot of creative, new ideas. She even expertly negotiated differences between me and my husband, searching for products and regenerating designs until she could please us both. Her design concepts for the rooms in our home were natural, practical, designs-to-live-in. She has a wonderful sense for color and texture — I particularly enjoyed working with her to choose fabrics for pillow sets for our den and living room. The results were quite different for the two rooms, but each set is like a little artwork in itself, with a few fun, specially constructed patchworks that she put together thinking about both design and efficient use of the fabric. She also has great contacts for painters, wallpaperers, rug dealers, seamstresses, cabinet makers, etc., and was able to subcontract directly or guide us to businesses that were honest and reliable and who provided excellent quality products and services. When we realized we had a very tight spot for a bathroom sink, she custom designed a cabinet herself to maximize the use of the space and even made the trip to the marble company warehouse to personally choose the cut of stone to use for the top. I love Marcye and I’d hire her again in a heartbeat.”

“I hired Robin to help me re-decorate my bathrooms. She expertly guided me through paint color choices, as well as bathroom fixtures, lights, towels...everything to make the bathrooms look updated & brand new. The contractor crew was also wonderful...everything done to the last detail & on time. I would definitely work w/ Robin & her crew again...the bathrooms looks wonderful!”

“I live in an antique post-and-beam home (1765) where I'm trying to keep the bones traditional and fill the home with antiques from the various time periods the home has witnessed while still being sensitive to its colonial origin. Amy has helped in so many ways, from brainstorming quality fabrics and cuts, where to get things beautifully upholstered on a budget, sourcing furniture, appliances, and fixtures, how to restrain my color urges while still giving space to creative energy, and, most recently, helping me identify unthought-of sources and combinations for my small(er)-budget kitchen renovations. I absolutely love the results and am so thankful to have a like-minded local designer guru in Amy. She's super smart, sensitive to budgets, accessible, and professional. She says she's "new" to the field but is an absolute pro!”
