About us

Local. Customer driven professional with access to Austin's finest sub-contractors and resources. Since launching Telling Details… in 2000, I have enjoyed every minute of inspiration and satisfaction received from my residential and commercial clients. I thrive on a positive, can-do attitude and produce interiors that are very "livable." My projects range from casual elegance, traditional to modern, and always incorporate a touch of the unexpected. I love a challenge, whether it is finding just the right accent pieces, guiding clients beyond their decorating comfort zones, or searching for design solutions or brainstorming with contractors. I am a Color Consultant for CertaPro Painters and developed Home Advantage Staging services, as I also teams with several Austin realtors on home staging projects. My dedication and appreciation of individual style enable me to exceed the goals of my clients. Ongoing client and contractor referrals continue to be my strongest source of new business....and my proudest source!

I've never been particularly comfortable with decorators because I always felt they would pressure me into projects or items that are beyond my budget. The reason I decided to give Telling Details a try was that Margery was someone I knew through my neighborhood and my son's school, and other friends had used her services and been very satisfied. The best thing about working with Margery is that you can feel free to say, "That costs too much," and she'll help you find another solution. For example, when I got a bid for shutters and shades, it was more than I wanted to spend, so Margery helped me to figure out which windows I really wanted to cover with shutters and which would do with an alternate, less expensive window covering. Also, she had so many ideas about how to get the most out of my budget and directed me towards some great resources for lighting and accessories. I would highly recommend Telling Details whether you have thousands of dollars to spend or only a few hundred for ideas you can implement as a DIYer.
Description of Work: We recently moved into a new home, and Margery helped me with selection of furniture and accessories and window coverings (including plantation shutters and blackout drapes for a home theater). She also made suggestions about paint colors.
