Maria is amazing! We rebuilt our home after the Almeda Fire and having her guidance during this…read moredaunting process was invaluable. Having never built a home (nor until the fire, any desire to do so) we had NO clue how many decisions one has to make during the process. Honestly, without Maria's help, I don't know how we would have ever accomplished it, nor ended with the amazing designer home we now live in. She took our vague ideas (of what we were drawn to style-wise) and brought everything together. Trust me, if you are building a home or planning a remodel... Hire Maria!!!

Cheryl took our cluttered office, filled with junk and clunky furniture and turned it into a…read morestylish, sexy, room where I want to be all the time! A friend who came over the other evening remarked "the lighting here could be in a lounge in an upscale, urban hotel." Cheryl gave us a beautiful design which she oversaw until completion. She offered great advice on colors, textures, lighting, and furniture. She designed some special features. including a wall planter box. She also turned a space that was once a large built in bookcase into an amazing stone tile insert. Lighting is really important to me and among other things, she created a light bar that illuminates the beautiful wood paneling that wraps 3/4 of the room. (Hope she posts pics of this. This is not what you normally think of as "wood paneling. Think of that upscale, hotel bar!) All these touches really make this room unique, warm, and lovely. Needless to say we are very happy with the job Cheryl did!

We were very happy with the outcome, and enjoyed working with her so much that we have since hired her for several other projects, the most recent being a full bathroom remodel. The project was necessary due to extensive water damage from a burst pipe, so the process was financially and emotionally stressful. Martine's calm perspective and humor helped bring levity to the situation, and our new bathroom is stunning! I highly recommend her design services to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, efficient and talented interior designer who is fun and easy to work with. -Emanuelle Gomez, Ashland, OR
