Sara was on time. We got right down to business. She took some measurements for window treatments and she will call for a follow-up appt.

Sara was nice enough to come and go thru all out pictures, painitings and nick nacks and advised us of where to place and or display everyhing and what to get rid of aas well as suggestions for window treatments etc.. We will be inviting her back once outr kitchen is remodeled in the Spring or Summer.

The decorator was professional, responsive, organized and helpful. I asked for suggestions around the house and she had many useful ideas. I won't use her again because I only needed a consultation, I do not need help implementation the recommendations. Also, interior decorating is dependent on your own tastes. A decorator can be fantastic and not be a good partner for choosing products and colors if your styles are different. I love that I was able to meet with her, get value for the cost and not have an expectation that we will continue to work together. Thank you for a job well done.

Sue was on time and very pleasant. However, we did not feel she was very helpful to us.

Sara helped us narrow down wall color schemes and also gave us some good ideas for furnishing some areas of the house.

She arrived on time, and went right to work on my questions on paint colors for great room and kitchen dining area. We chose the paint colors. I am still behind and have not been in state to have the painting done. I was happy with her assistance and would call her again.

Sara was very nice and understood my concerns and questions. She will be returning with wallpaper recommendations for a powder room. Overall, I enjoyed someone else's perspective and suggestions

It was good! We went around the whole home. There wasn’t a lot I wanted changed. I just wanted some ideas for solutions to space and organization issues. I will probably work with her in the new year.

She has names of potential work providers after all the supplies arrive.

Designer arrived slightly early which was surprising because the house is hard to find. She had a lot of good suggestions and covered the entire house in a short period of time.

She was prompt and professional and immensely helpful picking the interiors colors for my walls. It took quite a bit of time till we found just the right ones. She followed up with the paint manufacturers samples for when I was ready to paint.

Except for Sara getting lost on the way to our home (a VERY common occurrence!), everything went smoothly. We bought her $120 deal for 2 hours of service. By the time of our appointment, we had picked our kitchen countertop granite. It was nice to have her confirm we'd made a good choice, based on our style and taste, however. Sara had some suggestions about possible solutions to a flooring issue. Since we'd already made our granite selection, we didn't need her in-home services for very long. Since we did not have a sample of the granite, Sara met us a 2nd time at a tile and granite store to help us select backsplash tile. The store had a sample of our granite. Sara had actually done a test run to the tile store the day before so she wouldn't be lost and late for our 2nd appointment! Again, a tile sample we had previously ordered turned out to be the best choice. Sara also gave us the name of a tile guy.

Sara was on time and very responsive to our needs. She listened and was flexible when we did not want to spend huge sums of money. Work is ongoing and so price is too be determined as whether reasonable or not.

They came out a week later after I purchased the "Big Deal" and everything worked out really good and the service is really good. The girl that came out was fine. She has good point and easy to work with.

I was EXTREMELY pleased with the services Sarah provided! I would highly recommend her! She is an experienced, to-the-point, and saavy provider. We moved a year ago, and while I had been chipping away at getting the house to become a home, it just wasn't coming together the way I hoped it would. Couldn't put my finger on what the issues were, or why I just couldn't "bond" with this place. I did recognize that a paint color scheme was a major issue that I just could not figure out for myself. That's about the only thing I knew I wanted resolved when Sarah arrived. I was afraid this person would come in with a predetermined agenda, with a goal of turning things upside down, with a strong money making motive. That was NOT SARAH! She allowed ME to lead, asking for what I wanted to address! She worked first hardest and longest to resolve my paint issue - which does not result in a profit for her at all. She ended up supplementing my existing colors with color suggestions that would help "transition" from one space to the next, pulling it all together. She then ordered 10" "chips of my existing and newly recommended colors delivered directly to my home, so I could "try them on" my walls to get a better idea of what it would look like. As we moved from room to room, I was so impressed with the fact that she was very honest about what she thought worked just fine, and what needed more attention. The "worked just fines" far outnumbered the "needs attentions". As she made her recommendations, she was looking for ways to respect MY tastes, not looking to create an environment wherein I would not feel at home. She offered no cost, low cost alternatives whenever possible. When we got to my bedroom, I was the first to admit it was not at all "there"! This is where she offered more complex, costly solutions that would really make this room a showcase. She then advised me on what services she could offer to get us there - IF AND WHEN THE TIME WAS RIGHT FOR US. The other really amazing things she did for us that seemed small, but have made ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD were things like, "Take this item, put it there", "Get a vase of this kind of dried arrangement and height, and put it here", "Paint this wall the same color as that wall", "Use a picture of this size on this wall", "Lower this picture to this height", you get the idea. She worked quickly, offered suggestions quickly, making maximum use of the time we had. Even finished up before our 2 hour block of time was up. She then offered to let me call her within the next day or two should I think of additional questions I'd like to ask! Bottom line - I was pleased weeks ago right after her visit. I am EVEN MORE PLEASED now, several weeks out! I have spent this time painting, moving and putting into place most of the things she suggested. All I knew before she came, was that I wasn't feeling very happy, and definitely did not feel "at home" in my house. Since implementing Sarah's suggestions, all of this has turned around. I often smile as I walk room to room, noticing all the little things she recommended that have made this "house" the "home" I wanted. I am so proud now when company comes! If you read this, Sarah, thank you so much!

Sara had some good suggestions on paint colors and window coverings. She arranged for two paint sample cards to be sent to me and offered to come back and measure for window treatments. She was very pleasant and it was easy to talk to her.

Spent nearly 2 hours there. Will return.

Sara came out several times. She was able to help me pick out the correct colors for my home and they look great. Also, she gave wonderful suggestions on several design issues and gave me good advice which really embellished what I already had done. She was very professional, prompt, and gave me ideas on how to use things better that I already had which helped save me some money. I would definitely use her services again.

The lady was very honest and got to the point.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE WAS GREAT. THE OWNER SARAH WAS VERY HELPFUL AND PATIENT WITH US. SHE HELPED US PICK OUT WALLPAPER FOR 3 DIFFERENT BATHROOMS AS WELL AS A CUSTOM BEDSPREAD WITH MATCHING WINDOW TREATMENTS.
