Client Testimonials

"I spent an hour with Marie Carson of M. Elle Design and I was completely blown away! She was able to provide so much direction, support and resources in one hour I couldn't believe it. I had her review 2 big rooms and she went through paint colors, lighting, furniture, and rugs...everything! She showed me examples and resources so I could do it on my own. I will absolutely use her again. I would give her 6 stars if that were an option. Incredible experience! Thank you!"
