Hired on Thumbtack

Hired on Thumbtack

We have used Penny to help design thoughts around how we want to make our space more efficient and modern in our home. She provided great insights and thoughts for how to redo our kitchen, den, and pantry so it would accommodate our family in a better way. The 3D drawings she provided were accurate to the 1/4 inch so it gave us a great visual into how the space would ideally look. Although we only used penny for the space design, she can also help with many of the other aspects of a job like, furniture selection, project management, getting bids, etc. If/when we decide to move forward in these projects than Penny at Breaking Down Walls will be our first call to help us manage the process.

Details: Design of 3 - 4 rooms • Living room • Kitchen • Bathroom(s) • 500 - 1,000 sq ft • Space planning / layout • Furniture selection • Flooring selection • Craftsman / Farmhouse • My home, venue, etc.

Penny was a perfect fit for our upcoming project. I'm sure we will be using her again once the project kicks off. Her experience with vendors/contractors will be helpful.

Penny helped with our project immensely. She came into it when it was close to completion and I have so many regrets that I didn't hire her sooner. Her ability to look at a space and create something liveable would have been so helpful as we built our house. As it was, she helped with some finishing touches I was struggling to complete. Her professionalism, resources and ability to help me through my projects were invaluable. Do yourself a favor, hire her at the beginning of your project. Penny will create a space you will love for years to come.

Sara! Thank-you so much! I am blessed that we had the opportunity to partner on those final details. I too wish I could have been there sooner- if only to enjoy the fun and easy collaboration! You have a beautiful home and I can't wait to see some of the details we worked on in person!

You won’t regret hiring Penny! I had 5 weeks to get my new townhome ready to move in. She listened to my desires for a clean, modern and uncluttered upgrade and she delivered that and so much more; I love my new home! Penny continues to help me with art consultation and installation as needed. I have been introduced to art genres and I have a new appreciation for art in general! I feel we really did “Break Down” some walls that opened my eyes to more beauty and comfort than I could have accomplished on my own. Penny has even painted an original acrylic painting for my bedroom that I absolutely love! Don’t hesitate to call her.

Truly a visionary, was able to identify the issues bugging us, when we didn’t even know what it was! She was able to create a very positive environment and energy, not only in the natural boundaries of the project, but in general a very positive. She is a pleasure to work with, and highly recommended!!!
