So grateful for these customers who wrote us glowing reviews in 2020:

Amy’s advice and guidance made things so much easier for me. She pointed me in the right direction and in ways I would not have considered!  – K.S.

Amy was unbelievably helpful! We were really stuck on paint colors, and she was so brilliant and patient at helping us figure out what we wanted, and what would work in the whole house. She has a great eye, and we will definitely be consulting her again in the future! – N.D.

Amy designed two bathrooms for me, and I could not be happier. She did a wonderful job of listening to my ideas and tastes, as inartfully articulated as they might have been, taking cues from my decor and clippings, and guiding me to results with which I am so pleased. Each bathroom presented challenges due to size constraints and inflexible footprints. Amy found ways to maximize the limited space and make each functional yet special. We had very productive trips to fixtures and tile showrooms where her expertise and easy rapport with the vendors was extremely helpful. She worked together with my contractor to implement the designs in a pragmatic way. Amy provided very good value for the fees she charged, was easy to work with, timely with her work product, and responsive to my questions. I highly recommend her.   – E.K.

Amy and Stephanie are a true delight to work with! From start to finish in our project, they were thoughtful, thorough, came up with beautiful and functional design ideas. They truly translated our concepts into reality. Their connections with vendors for materials (from tile to cabinetry) and their ability to “think out of the box” was invaluable. They were patient and really listened to what we wanted and worked diligently to make things happen. Ours was a “down to the studs” renovation and what they created was a real transformation!  – R.F.
