Cheryl has helped me with quite a few projects in my home ranging from counter tops to cabinet fronts, accessories and furniture. Her unerring eye for the right color and light application encouraged me to explore some really vibrant color options that enlivened my house. She is a true creative artist as well as a focused and professional project manager. I trust any project in my home to her expertise.

Cheryl was very easy to work with, was open to my ideas and got the job done quickly. We spent lots of time deciding what was the best color to use and how to proceed. I would definitely use her again and refer her to friends

I had an entry table built for my kitchen so of course I wanted a professional finish to the table. Cheryl put me on the right track. I didn't want another stained piece of furniture in my house. With Cheryl's expert knowledge she was able to end up with the look I wanted. Now I am thinking about re doing my kitchen cabinets. With her help I know it will be another beautiful job.
