Client Testimonials

"This was an amazingly helpful way to add professional touches to my home and organize/ define my vision for the space. Stefani was really quick to accurately capture my taste and style and help me transform it into something more cohesive. In our hour we covered several rooms, and I was given layout advice, styling advice, paint colors and links to rugs and furniture. I would highly recommend Stefani and I loved her ideas."

"I've met with Stefani twice already and she was so helpful; she validated my ideas, suggested new products, and helped me with fabric selections. I find that the best way to use the allotted time with your Expert is to have pre-made mood boards so that both of you can react to the same ideas. Thanks for being an excellent thought partner!"

"Absolutely loved working with Stefani! She seemed genuinely excited to help and really grasped the space/vibe we’re going for right away. She made the hour feel like a real collaborative session ending in concrete recommendations for moving forward. She even mocked up a couple of the ideas that seemed to work the best and sent additional inspiration images. I’ll definitely schedule more sessions with her in the future as we work through our project (a pretty substantial addition and remodel)!"
