Client Comments

What a positive difference you made in just a few hours! I knew our house had a bad "feel" but I was paralyzed by indecision, I did not know what needed to change. It took very little time for us arrange furniture in ways I never envisioned and I discovered that I really like my house and my furniture. The bonus for my husband is the wide-screen TV is now in the den since I told him for years that it would not fit. As you know, he was so pleased with your first visit he asked me to have you come back to do our bedrooms. Thanks to you we now we know what work we need to do, I'm no longer paralyzed by indecision which feels wonderful. Your suggestions on how we could upgrade our kitchen will save us so much money that we've already scheduled the work.  Thank You!

Kathryn loved her room and was very excited to see that she really did have something unique and all her own. She really enjoyed the funny comics on the wall and really was pleased with the color theme and that we had picked her favorite colors.

Gosh Paula, Tom really enjoys his new chair and the file cabinets in his office. He keeps saying how much he enjoys it and was so happy that we had thought of him and his needs too. You are so good.

Give me a ring, I look forward to talking with you and sure do miss you being here. It was really weird when you left.  I didn't have anyone to jump in the car with me and shop shop shop......Ha! Take care... Hugs.

Paula was such a delight to work with and we are so happy with the outstanding finished look that she created.  As you walk in the front door you can feel the energy flow throughout our home.  This "flow of balance" allows us to have more energy in our lifestyle.  I no longer feel the need to move or replace any of our furnishings or wall hangings.   We enjoy our home and having the balance of our family photos and adventures in life all around us; gives us comfortable feelings with precious memories.   Balance plays an important part in our life and having our home flow with balance saves us energy,  time, and money.   Thank you, Paula.

Just had to write to tell you how happy we are with all your suggestions. We are so happy! But especially me, because you came up with an idea that totally fits me and the type of things I appreciate. Your talents are genuinely appreciated.

What a huge difference your advice made for such a small cost.  Our friends and neighbors are truly impressed by your work.  Just what we needed to perk up our house. 
Thank you!

Thank you for the info.  John faux painted behind the fireplace last night with the color you suggested and it looks amazing.  We've also rearranged our bedroom and the spare bedroom and they look much better. Thanks again for all the great advice.

I want to thank you so much for doing such a nice job for us.  The color selection is just perfect, it is warm, it flows nicely, it is just what we wanted and needed. And Enrique is delighted with his "gallery-living room".

We just wanted you to know we couldn't have been more pleased with your design service. You had great ideas for rearranging the furniture we already had and great ideas for new pieces. It was so easy to work with you and you always kept our budget and personal style in mind. We would gladly recommend your services to others.

I wanted to let you know that I am really enjoying the house freshly painted with the "folding" of the colors. It has taken something very plain Jane to interesting and inviting.
Thanks for the help.

By the way, the table set was delivered on Monday and it looks great!  It looks so much better at home than at the store.  You were right about it fitting in with our other pieces.  
Great vision Paula!

  It was great working with you. I found our session to be very productive. I felt your suggestions were valuable and especially liked the way you incorporated my style, ideas and existing furnishings into the plan. I look forward to implementing the plans we discussed. I would recommend you to anyone who is looking to update, change or modify their home.
Thanks again,
