Mary was pivotal to two remodeling projects we did over the course of a couple years. She’s very patient and the right amount of prescriptive in the design process, and we arrived at a great blend of things we knew we wanted and things we had no idea we wanted. I particularly valued her advice and coaching through the remodel process; while she was not our project manager, she helped us understand the best way to manage our contractor and architect, and made time to meet with them and make sure they executed precisely to the design. We wish we had involved Mary earlier in the whole process! Highly recommended for your major remodel team!

We loved working with Mary. The design for our laundry room was fun, and just what we wanted. The project grew in scope (had to renovate our entire bottom floor), and there were delays (not related to Mary), but she was with us every step of the way. We were pleased with the process and outcome.

Working with Mary was excellent. From first call, she walked me through her process and it was very clear what to expect both from a service and price perspective. She valued my opinions and made the project like a collaboration. She took all my desires and feedback into consideration and created the nursery of my dreams. The communication was effortless and timely. We met our deadline and I'm so happy with the end result!

Mary was actually early for our appointment. Our design session was educational and informative. Mary’s suggestions made a lot of sense and her recommendations for paint color , floor selection and furniture placement were spot on. My wife and I are eager to try our “new look” in our house. This was our first experience with a designer and I was fearful of feeling inadequate and uncultured. Ok, more like I didn’t want to feel like I just crawled out from under a rock. Mary made us feel comfortable and she made certain our personality would shine through in our selections. It felt like a team effort ! Thanks Mary.

Mary helped me with redecorating my living room. The whole project was a breeze from start to finish. The best part about working with Mary is that she listens to what you want, understand your needs and creates space that you envisioned. When we first discussed the budget, she broke down all components for me in $ value and gave me a very close estimate of what I would be putting in. She doesn't try to push you to do what you don't want yet is not shy to tell you if something doesn't fit well in the overall scheme of things. Her design boards helped me in visualizing the end result and made shopping for items super easy. Her turn around time is quick, I never felt that she was hesitant in making changes that I needed. The whole space reflects me, but is very well put together, all thanks to Mary. I recommended her to my friends and they are super happy with the bathroom she designed for them. All this + great conversations, I will work with Mary for all my future design needs.
