Testimonials
Nicole is extremely professional and detailed. She presented us with a few options to use in multiple areas in our house. We consistently get compliments on her designs. I would highly suggest using her services.
-Kim E.
I have worked with Nicole now for several years. Knowing that we would like to downsize in a couple of years, I asked Nicole to make our home more neutral and updated for todays homebuyer. She was responsible for space planning and selecting furniture, window coverings, paint colors, bed coverings, decorative pillows and accessories. She even helped me narrow down and select new paint colors for the outside of my house. Overall, I could not be more pleased with how Nicole has transformed our house. It is new and fresh, but is still us. She is creative, hard working, has good taste and loves interior design. She never forces an idea on you, even though I did allow her to take me out of my comfort zone a couple of times. But I am so glad I did, because the end result was worth it. I highly recommend Nicole for any of your interior design needs. She is nice to work with, well-trained and very good at what she does.

...Nicole was persistent in searching for the perfect "touch of blue" in the fabric for the living room draperies; she introduced me to unique curtain rods, and spent a lot of time searching for a small bridge table. She found beautiful fabrics for the entire project. She listened to me and was sensitive to my sense of style. She was prompt for her appointments, knowledgeable about her products, and always had a professional demeanor.

I have had the pleasure of working with Nicole on various decorating projects for the last several years. Nicole demonstrates an astute understanding of space, color, and texture while at the same time displaying exemplary customer service.. Nicole always listens to what I am seeking to achieve by working with me to make my ideas happen. She possess a genuine aptitude for understanding what it is I am trying to convey even when I find an idea difficult to put into words. Her attention to detail throughout all phases of a project - note taking, drawing, follow-up questions, billing, etc... - ensures a smooth endeavor from start to finish.
-Vince L.
Nicole has helped me multiple times in various ways: she understood my design preferences and budget constraints to come up with floor plans. The plans incorporated the furniture I already had. She provided multiple floor plans with options of how I could best arrange the furniture. She provided options for new furniture, fabric, paint colors, and accessories that would work with my style and create a beautiful environment in my home. Nicole is very patient and worked hard to ensure she found multiple options I could choose from to satisfy my requirements. I am sure that she has the same dedication to all of her clients. I would recommend her design services to potential clients.
