Meta helped us go from uncertainty and waffling to firm decisions and helped us narrow our vision significantly. She was WONDERFUL and I’m so excited to see how our kitchen turns out!

"Meta reviewed the slides I provided before hand. She riffed off of ideas and asked good questions about what my intentions and moments I wanted to create in the room are. We talked a lot about good historical prints. She had so many wonderful suggestions at her fingertips. She unveiled some loose design principals to help me think about how to tie different rooms together. She did an excellent job of catching the vibe I want and what's possible. I was very impressed with how much she covered!"

"With a vague idea of the look and feel I wanted from our new home, which needs interior design from top to bottom, I was purchasing pieces that seemed to take me on the wrong path. Meta took a look and immediately honed my fuzzy idea into a clear vision. She exploded with ideas and resources for me, sending me off with tools, a fun color palette, and lots of excitement! "

"My consult with Meta far exceeded my high hopes and expectations. With just a few inspiration photos, she managed to pull together a stunning primary bedroom and equipped me with specifics as well as a MUCH better understanding of some rules and guidelines to help make decisions on my own. After 4 years of indecision, I walked away with a cozy and uniquely “me” design- in just an hour! Highly highly recommend Meta!!"

"My consultation with Meta was fantastic! I was struggling with figuring out a cohesive color palate for several rooms in my basement remodel and Meta provided excellent guidance. She was generous with advice for sourcing furniture and fabrics--steering me toward brands she knew to be quality and away from those that in her experience, were not. I left our meeting feeling confident I can execute this expertly refined vision for my space. 10/10 recommend!"

"Meta is such a dream to work with! She took the time to explain design & color principles that will help me across the board, not just in the spaces we were discussing. When it came to designing actual spaces, she provided wonderful resources, links, brands, etc. It is daunting to create a fun, layered look and achieve the kind of harmony she does in her work, but I feel much more confident in taking on the challenge having spent an hour with her.

"My time with Meta was incredibly helpful and productive; she had taken the time to review my presentation beforehand and came ready with color, fabric, and furniture suggestions that expanded my sense of what I could do with the space. She shared both specific tips and overall guidance (which as a newbie I sorely need), and stretched our hour to continue answering my questions. She's a natural - so creative, bubbling with ideas, and really kind. "

"I just moved into a new house & had a disparate list of questions crossing several spaces, from floor plan and use of space dilemmas to decorative elements. Meta provided tactical help with sourcing and other specific suggestions, as well as strategies for continuing with the design on my own. I've been a little stuck in the planning stages of a future remodel and figuring out which concessions to make with the budget. I feel inspired, excited & more equipped. Thank you!"

"Meta worked at a fast pace which I loved because I wanted her to pack in as much knowledge as she could in the hour. She gave me a ton of good sites and products to check out but most importantly she gave me an approach to really thinking about the kind of home I want and how to start and follow through with the big picture so that there is harmony throughout my home.

"Meta was an absolutely fabulous help as I sorted through the plan and scheme for my daughters' bedroom. She gently but firmly steered me away from a short-sighted decision I would have regretted, and opened up my vision to some new styles, influences, and ideas. She gave me an immense amount of shopping ideas and basically put together a room scheme on the fly while we were on the call. Hugely helpful and wonderful session! "

"Meta is amazing and I'm so grateful to have gotten the opportunity to spend some time learning from her. She helped ground me in some really valuable principles, and reminded me to think about how I want to FEEL in the various spaces we are designing. I was starting to get caught up in the "right" and "wrong" of some of the design choices, and she gave some really freeing advice that allowed me to trust my instincts and have fun. I'm excited to take what I've learned and apply it to our home!"
