Quite well

I have a small home, so after we figured out the paint colors Eliana helped me with any other decorating questions I had. She was very responsive to my preferences and she is FAST -- a bundle of enthusiastic energy! We had time to search the internet for furniture and art ideas, which she bookmarked. She followed the meeting by sending me a detailed list of all of our decisions. I am really busy, as we all are - and it was a blessing to have such help. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

I have decision paralysis when it comes to decorating and arranging my home. I have ideas about what I want to do, and generally what style of things I like, but I have trouble making decisions and actually purchasing things (particularly more expensive items) for fear of buying something that might not go. As a result our home is comfortable and nice, but not particularly put together. We also have a small child, which makes me even more hesitant to invest in certain items (like new furniture or statement pieces). So, I decided to find help. Specifically, I needed help choosing colors for our very blank walls that we had lived with for 5 years. I had painted swatches on the walls (which had been there for literally 6 months), but I had never been confident enough to choose one. Armed with her books of paint swatches, she guided me towards a color profile and then we figured out together which ones would go where (for 4 different rooms). She also picked color for the trim and baseboards. Next, she rearranged our furniture to create a new configuration for our living room. Moving things around helped me to see alternatives to our layout and opened my mind to how things could be put together. She suggested putting plants in certain places, and also made suggestions about bigger pieces that could start to pull the room together (a pendant lamp in the dining area, a certain height for bookcases, etc.). I also specifically needed help with thinking about window treatments. She talked me through them, and also suggested someone I could contact for more information and samples. Our first visit was incredibly helpful. Eliana was so easy to talk to, and after our visit she sent me (via email) a to-do list with everything we had talked about, what I could start working on, her contacts (window treatment person, crown moulding person, etc.), and links where relevant (e.g. this is the kind of wallpaper I was talking about). I enjoyed working with her so much that I called her back for a second visit after our painting was finished, specifically so she could help me place pictures/art, but also to consult with her about several more ideas/dilemmas. Eliana is incredibly professional. She was easy to reach, responsive to what I was looking for, arrived promptly, and was easy to communicate with both via email and phone.

She is very knowledgeable, creative, proactive, patient, and flexible to work with for all budget types. She is very talented at paint color selection.

Eliana has been fantastic. I showed her newspaper & catalog clippings to demonstrate my preferred styles and she worked from there. Apparently I like "contemporary" styles. I also gave her my overall budget so that she help me work within that. Here's a summary of the services she provided: * Provided a complete interior paint color scheme that matches my preferences and coordinates with the floors, cabinets, and counter tops. * Recommended an excellent painter who painted my home quickly and at the estimated cost. * Provided a room-by-room breakdown of suggested furniture, art, and placement. * Recommended a number of furniture stores throughout South Bay and Peninsula and online, which was far more helpful than I would have guessed! * Gave me a list of specific furniture & art ideas (web links) that fell into a range of acceptable prices. * Prioritized her suggestions so that I could spread out my improvements over time. * Suggested how to incorporate my existing furniture and art. She has continued to be there for me on the phone throughout shopping and painting; she didn't just disappear after our meetings. I've been able to take pictures of furniture with my phone and she's provided feedback about whether it will "work" or not. Under her guidance I have so far had the whole interior of my home painted, had window casings installed, replaced window blinds, purchased a bedroom set and couch. Pending purchases include a coffee table, media stand, entry table & bench, towels, and wall art. My newly painted home looks great. The colors look fantastic thanks to Eliana. On my own I probably would have picked colors that were too timid and boring but instead I have an elegant and contemporary look. Her services were well worth the money because it gave me the direction and confidence to go through with big decisions like painting the whole house and buying large pieces of furniture. And she has put me in touch with furniture salespeople and contractors that have been trustworthy. I'll certainly be calling her for help in the future. And I recommend her for your projects whether its your whole house or just one room.

It has gone great and in fact, we are using her for other projects besides our living and dining rooms. I strongly recommend her.
