Outstanding. Wendy was awesome and she came up with plans that we could've never thought of on our own. We were extremely happy with the results!

Wendy has a great sense of style and is a complete pro in every way. What I found particularly impressive is her ability to quickly pick up on and apply our personal style as we faced some pretty daunting decisions following a gut rehab. She proved to be an excellent design Sherpa that I would emphatically recommend to anyone looking for a good eye and guidance - a real pleasure to work with.

The projects all turned out terrific. Wendy has a great eye and she works within your budget. She is just a consummate professional and brings a truly joyful attitude to the job. She is so easy-going and friendly to work with and we won't undertake another home project without consulting her. With the family room, we were working with a really tough layout in the room and she suggested a pretty substantial overhaul. She never pressured us at all but we opted to tear out a corner fire place and built a stunning stone wall and fireplace centered in the room. This completely changed the entire feeling of entering our home and I'm so thankful for her suggestion. In our master bedroom, she recommended a beautiful grass cloth for the main back wall and it just gives the room so much pop when you walk in. You won't be sorry for hiring Wendy, that I promise!

We are very pleased with the results and enjoy working with Wendy! She is extremely professional, always on time to appointments and responsive to emails, is a good listener, does what she says she will do and is very thorough. Most importantly, she is a great designer! Her advice incorporates our inputs and tastes so the final product looks like us, and we love it. We have asked Wendy to continue on with us to upgrade our second floor and look forward to that project.

I was very pleased with the plan Wendy put together for me. She listened to what I wanted and took an inventory and measurements of all my current furniture pieces I'll be moving to the new home. She worked from a floor plan I gave her that did not have all dimensions; she had to work backwards to get approximate dimensions. Her completed plan found only a few recommended changes and she also had suggested furniture sizes and examples for new items I'll need. I enjoyed working with Wendy. She listened to my needs and wants and was able to quickly complete her analysis since my architect was waiting for my final approval. I highly recommend Wendy.

It went great!! We met for an initial consultation - I explained what I needed. Wendy was attentive and understood exactly what I was looking for. She took measurements of my rooms and a few weeks later we met to review the plans. She gave me several options for each room and gave many options for furniture. I would use her again!

Fantastic! I have absolutely NO complaints. She was excellent and amazing to work with. We loved the finished product and felt it was well worth the money we spent!
Description of Work: Wendy was referred to us by the carpet store manager/staff I was working with. They had worked with her on several projects and had a lot of respect for her knowledge and professionalism. As a result, after meeting with her, we hired Wendy to decorate most of the rooms in our home. She worked with me to help me realize MY vision for my home. She has great taste and great contacts for workmen (ie. painters, upholsterers, etc.), and is VERY professional, but fun and easy to work with. Wendy was always punctual, prepared, and I appreciated that she did not waste time. Her rates were reasonable. I cannot rate her highly enough. I absolutely love my home and we constantly get compliments on the decor from visitors. It is beautiful! I could not have done it without her attention to detail, knowledge and insights. I have referred Wendy to several friends. I can absolutely guarantee you will not be sorry if you chose Wendy as your designer. She's a gem!

Wendy's time and advice made all the difference. Wendy was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was always punctual, has terrific ideas and a clear understanding of what will work and what will not. She spent a lot of time talking with us so she could be certain to meet our expectations, and managed to bring quite a few samples of tile etc. for us to review in our home. During the construction phase of the project she stayed in close contact with our contractor so as to assure that there were no mistakes. No question but that I highly recommend Ms. Nobriga to you, and I will be retaining her again when we tackle the next project - the kitchen.
Description of Work: We did a total gut and re-design of our bathroom. The floor, ceiling, walls and floor were removed and then replaced. All tiling is new as well as all the fixtures. We also removed the bath tub and replaced it with a completely tiled walk-in shower.

Wendy was fantastic! She responded quickly to my request to set up an appointment. She was able to help me pick out paint colors for all my rooms in less than 1 1/2 hours. Wendy has a great sense of decorating and just knew what colors would work the best. She also helped me to pick out some light fixtures from a website site for both of my bathrooms which were very inexpensive. I would definitely recommend her for any of you decorating needs. After I have the painting completed, I will have her back to help with more decoration ideas for my condo. She is pleasant to work with.

Wendy is phenomenal. She is a happy person with a sparkle in her eye. Wendy is very Professional and organized. Wendy is an Interior Designer, different from Interior Decorator. She can see and design space and understand Architectural principles. She helped me remodel a house. She is an excellent collaborator. Wendy listens actively - huge! And what has been a lifesaver is Wendy's prompt replies to several of my follow up texts and questions. Wendy's prices are very affordable. I have already referred her to a friend and will definitely use her again.
Description of Work: Wendy helped me redesign an entire house. I found Wendy on Angie's List, contacted her and she was the first to get back to me. We scheduled an appointment and were working together within days. We removed walls, added sliding glass windows, we chose paint colors together. Mostly importantly Wendy taught me design principles along the way.

Fantastic, great, easy, seamless, wonderful. We don't have much decorating experience and Wendy has helped us in so many ways. For example, we bought a kitchen table and had to cancel it as there would have been too little room to walk around the chairs if we would have bought that particular set. We measured the room but didn't take into consideration walking space. Our dining room has a decorative square from the ceiling with a light fixture and Wendy quickly looked at it and recommended the room configuration. Without her guidance we would have purchased a china cabinet that would have off-centered the table underneath the decorative square and the room would have been all "off". Additionally, Wendy has helped us keep within a theme of "light and bright" based upon her recommendations for color and style. It has also been so helpful for Wendy to also recommend where the best places to shop are based on our budget and preferences. Such a time saver as there are so many places to purchase furniture today. Wendy is a joy to work with and is so pleasant and non-judgmental. She is so prompt in her responses via email.....even when I desperately need a quick consult when I am shopping at a store. All of our decorating is coming along beautifully with Wendy's assistance and I'm so grateful that I found her. We will continue to use her services as we go forward.

tWendy was beyond fantastic. From measuring all the furniture in the old house and taking pictures to helping us envision a new beautifully decorated home in the new condo, Wendy was amazing. She is patient, professional and simply a class act. Wendy prevented us from making so many design mistakes because she can look at a space and recommend what would work best. Wendy was very resourceful in recommending the best places to shop based on our tastes/budget. Wendy went above and beyond to be sure that I understood the floor plans she recommended by putting them in writing from me. Wendy does her work with ease and enthusiasm. Even an email was promptly responded to with the same depth of knowledge as she would in person. She gets what you are asking right away. I feel so fortunate that I met Wendy and plan to continue to use her services as we decorate our new home. She is great!
Description of Work: My Mother was moving from her home into a condo after 46 years. Wendy first helped me decide how to design my Mom's new condo using her current furniture, then after we closed on the new home, she helped me decide what new furniture/design would work best.

Wendy did a terrific job. She is sincere, knows how to make you feel comfortable, and is a bona fide interior design professional! She accomplished everything I was hoping for and more. The design of my dining/living room area needed big-time help. I have some nice furniture but I couldn?t figure out how to arrange things for optimum form and function. Wendy goes beyond her ASID; she has great vision and knows how to blend her vision and customize it to what you are looking for. She is the type of person who will get it done exactly right for you. I looked at several Angie choices and liked that Wendy had a ASID from Perdue so I emailed her. She promptly responded to my email and my a request for a phone call, we spoke, scheduled an apt for this week. Wendy arrived right on time, consulted with me, understood what the goal was, and went straight to work. She measured everything and started rearranging the furniture and, with my permission, took some furniture pieces from other rooms and integrated them perfectly into the living room area to create a high styled and perfectly balanced space that I can appreciate and be proud of. It was easy to see that even the smallest details are important to her; as she she adjusted artwork I have and rearranged dozens of books in my bookcase for a highly presentable look. With Wendy?s redesign it turns out that I will need to purchase far less items than I anticipated. She did provide me with excellent choices for the pieces which I still need to buy. Additionally, she made great recommendations for the paint colors and the artwork sizing needed to complete my redecorating. She accomplished everything in 3 hours. At $75/hour, it was a bargain and more importantly I am thrilled with what she did!

Wendy is a fabulous resource! A must for those of us who are design challenged and would give Martha Stewart nightmares. She was able to see me with little notice, arrived on time and provided very helpful suggestions. I'm have a small apartment, so the suggestion of a storage bed and re-designing the closets was particularly helpful. She helped me figure out the best design solution for tight spaces. Her rates are very reasonable. I will definitely call on her again.

Wendy came to the house on short notice - she answered my Help! email and fit me into her schedule graciously. The winter weather turned out to be very poor for travel but she arrived with a smile and several heavy bags of paint books and large individual color samples, well prepared. We were able to narrow down my color preferences for a challenging front hall and stairway with landing very quickly and she steered me toward the best choices on my preferred color strip, pulled the two large color samples and put them up for viewing. In addition she chose an appropriate white for the ceilings, something which I've always found impossible to do. is a good listener but is also well able to give direction when her professional knowledge is called for. She left me with the paint card samples containing naes and numbers as well as the type of paint - flat, eggshell - for each surface as well as a special instruction for a portion of the wall typical of a Victorian house such as mine. Wendy is an attentive listener, grasps a situation quickly and is adept at guiding a client towards a good choice or away from a poorer one. It was a pleasure to work with her and I feel confident in recommending her.
Description of Work: I used Wendy's services for advice on paint color.
