Client Testimonials

"Elizabeth and Mallory were everything I would hope for in design consultants. They listened to my ideas for our bathroom remodel and made suggestions based on that and also their extensive experience. They took the design in a direction that I hadn't thought of or expected. They gave me their design secrets to really make it look high end without a lot of extra cost. They saved me months of agonizing over all of the decisions and also saved me money on materials, they were contentious of budget."
