"Her thoroughness made the entire decision-making process seamless and complete. We were blown away!"
Working with Heather was such a pleasure. She only had access to the home we were buying for a one-hour walk through. Even after a visit this abbreviated, Heather prepared a whole-house comprehensive design packet. This included paint schemes, furniture custom fitted to each room, rug selections, and window treatments. She then organized every item in her room
by-room design presentation with photos, dimensions, fabrics and colors. Her thoroughness madethe entire decision-making process seamless and complete. We were blown away!

"It was a delight to work with her!"
Heather was amazing. Not having a design background, I conveyed to her a few characteristics that I really liked and a few that I did not like in a home. From that little bit of information, she turned my thoughts into a home that reflects who we are and the way we live. Heather’s intentional design included small but meaningful choices that made our home very special to us. She was easy to work with, thoughtful in her design ideas, and provided all of the information needed to make the best decisions. It was a delight to work with her.

"We simply cannot imagine doing any design work without Heather’s partnership."
We have had the pleasure and absolute blessing of using Heather on multiple occasions over the past several years and simply cannot list enough superlatives to describe just how amazing she was for us in not one but two new homes/moves over the last 4-5 years. What we truly appreciate most about Heather is that she truly takes the time to understand all aspects of our style choices, the environment we want to create, color choices, and also to get sense for existing furniture and art/decor pieces that she can weave into an amazing and stunning final product.
