Report
San Diego client who is thrilled by my experience! Shannon is knowledgeable, patient and she really made it fun. She had some fantastic ideas and one required a big change in our kitchen plans which will impact our open space. Now we can actually fit an L shaped sectional that I thought we could never fit. I knew some help would be beneficial, now I can't wait to meet with her again. Thank you!
