I had a great experience with Stephanie. She was able to curate a space within my budget with pieces that were esthetically pleasing. I would have never been able to pull it all together without her help. I would use this service again. It was well worth the money.

Thrilled with our experience from beginning to end. We worked with Betsy who is very knowledgeable and offered great ideas and suggestions on how to manage our space. The design plan reveal exceeded out expectations. Betsy nailed our style and created a cohesive look that we could never have achieved on our own. This was money well spent and really was affordable. Once you factor in the trade discount they get at many stores/sites and its an even better bargain. We did the 3 room package which included their in-house shopper to place orders. Also seamless and makes the ordering process absolutely
