Client Testimonials

"Claire is such a rockstar! She totally rolled with my stream of conscious thoughts, and managed to provide really helpful recommendations for two rooms AND the exterior of our house all in an hour. She was able to really convey those little details that elevate a house from a place with nice furniture to a home that is well designed, including factoring in our specific needs (I.e., kid friendly). It was worth every penny and the Expert team is also really easy to work with. "

"This is my second Expert session with Claire and just wow! Each session feels like a Matrix style download of all of her awesome pearls of wisdom. We even get to my "we won't have time, but I wonder what she thinks about X, Y, and Z" questions. I don't just leave our sessions informed, but also feeling very encouraged about how to realize our goals for our home. I plan to continue meeting with Claire throughout our reno and love the Expert!"

"Claire was amazing! In our 1 hour zoom she was able to address every issue. She suggested pieces and colors that not only flowed with the existing design but tied everything together. She is so friendly and easy to talk to. What I was most impressed with was how she could go right to what she was looking for and it would be exactly what I had been wanting but unable to create myself. I'm so happy I did this and would recommend to anyone needing fresh eyes in their space or just starting "
