A Few Reviews

Donna,
Just wanted to thank you once more for the wonderful job you did on our living room!  The entire family is enjoying it...I did not think it was possible to come up with a design that both my husband and I would completely love - considering our very different tastes.  But you did it!!!
From the very beginning - you were VERY patient and accommodating and we really appreciate that...it was an extremely positive experience and we look forward to working with you again.
thanks

Donna, I just want you to know what a real pleasure it was to work with you while redecorating my 1st floor condo.  Your ideas were immediate and wonderful.  In addition, you were a very pleasant person to work with and went above and beyond your call of duty. 
It was also a lot of fun the first night we went shopping.  I haven't enjoyed shopping that much in a long time. Can hardly wait until we can start on my second floor.

Donna,
You have out done yourself.  Everything was perfect; the colors and all of the personal touches made it all very special.  Even though we worked long distance on this project, you pulled everything together beyond what I could have imagined.  I loved everything you did in the design, but I think my favorite thing was the pillow covers;the fabric was amazing and I know how hard you worked on making each and every one.
You are so talented and we were blessed to have you decorate for a very special occasion.
Thank you for everything, we have memories to last forever!

Donna has helped me decorate two rooms now. I am completely satisfied! She got me very organized and helped me make decisions. (I have a hard time with decisions). She assured me it would be great in the end no matter which decision I made. She was right. She showed me where to start and kept me focused which I needed help with also. She shopped for me, sent pictures to narrow down our shopping later. My house now represents me and feels wonderful to be in. Everyone that comes in is thoroughly impressed. They say looks like a room out of a magazine. The price was so worth it. I will use her every time decorate. She has a talent I just don't have.

I'm not sure where to begin, but to tell you that I'm extremely pleased with Donn'a decorating. She came to my house and looked around and told me she would get back with me in a couple days and we would go shopping. I loved shopping with her. We went to several stores and she picked out many different items that I would have been too scared to buy, but I had faith in her. She came to my house and started working miracles. It was so natural for her to put items together that I would have never thought about. Her style made my house look unique. One of my favorite things she created was my collage of crosses on my living room wall. I just sit on my couch at look at them along with the other decorations in my living room. Her touch made the room so warm and welcoming. Now I look forward to coming home and relaxing in my living room. Donna also put her personal touch in my kitchen. She was so good at putting different things together to make it look like "my kitchen". She asked me questions about how my family functions and then she decorated around our needs. It's nice to be in the kitchen now that it is functional and decorative.

It's Gonna Be "Major"...

This makeover has been in the making for some time.  Living with old dark paneling can be transformed into an airy beautiful space for a fresh new look.  We will do a complete post when done.  Just couldn't resist giving you a sneak peek.  This transformation is going to be fabulous!!

Deer Park Working With "what you've got"

This Deer Park home opted to keep the paneling, all furniture as is and go for a fresh look working with what they already possessed.  Using some fabulous original art pieces and accessories, we worked to make this room look like new.

This focal point lacked focus.  With lighting being an issue the flowers

did not show even as well as in this pic.

Before:

This original art took center stage along with Andrea's beautiful collection of pottery.

After:

Perfect touch...flowers added to the pottery people.

Pearland Living Room

We enjoyed working with Gladys and EC in their beautiful home.  This room had all the potential needed to fulfill the perfect space for this family.  Utilizing the stock pile of collected accessories and shopping for the right furniture and additional beautiful things, we came up with a room of their dreams.

Before:

After:

The empty niches were screaming for custom built ins.  Once done, they look as if they have been there forever.  We added the custom shelving and storage cabinets.

Before:

After:

This awkward little area was a bit of a challenge.  We decided on some vintage elements to give the space a touch of "what's in"  in 2012.  

Before:

After:

Left wall space looked out of place until styled.

Before:

After:

Per client's choice, we have lots of furniture to occomodate entertaining,

giving guest adequate comfortable seating.

The Mantel was everything but the emphasis in the room. 

Love the new art piece used now and the asymmetrical decor.

Before:

After:

A few masculine touches were chosen to design for both sexes. 

The original art helped to pull in the color scheme.

A view from the second floor.

This was a fun day of shopping with our client.

Thank you Gladys and EC for allowing me to post photos of your new space!!
