"I would highly recommend Nicolette's design services. She helped us when we moved from our apartment to a new condo and we are extremely pleased with the results. We did not want to buy a lot of new furniture and we did not want a home that looks like a staged model home.

"We have acquired lots of art and other things we really like over more than 40 years. But we have never tried to get things that were particularly harmonious, so we didn't know how to make them look good together. Nicolette managed to make the things we already had look good just by placing them differently and showing us how they coordinated.

"She recommended a few pieces of new furniture which we can acquire over time. She also helped us solve a long-term problem of not having enough storage for lots of papers and books. Her suggestion was creative and looks good in our condo.

"What I like best is that she listened to us and gave us ideas for our lifestyle and our furnishings. She never tried to impose some other style of decorating on us--she took what we wanted and showed us how to make it work.

"She listens well and is very creative. I liked the computer mock-ups showing various paint colors and furniture placement--it really helped us picture what the changes would look like. Financially, before we agreed to various design services, we always knew exactly what we were getting and what it would cost. I appreciate that!

"I am so pleased with everything that Nicolette has done to help turn my living space into a comfortable and warm place to come home to...

"Nicolette gave me some general ideas and guidelines about furniture, advised me on appropriate color and assured me that pieces I found really would “go” together – and they do, beautifully...

I had a favorite piece of artwork whose colors didn’t seem to go with my room, but Nicolette found a mat and frame that integrated it into the room and made it a focal point.

"Nicolette worked within my comfort level, and her color and style suggestions made sense and looked great!

"The combination of Nicolette's amazing eye for color and style and her intuition in matching her selections to each person's needs and personalities make her an invaluable resource for any interior design project. I highly recommend her as an interior designer."

“It’s rare to find a designer who really understands the barriers and is able to see creatively how to erase them. To do it with the beauty of the design that Nicolette has created is amazing."

"I'd love to have your help. I need to rip out my bathroom and start over. It was never designed for a wheelchair, and nothing works.
