Client Experience

"Whittney Parkinson is just as divine as her work. I came to the consultation with concern on projects and overwhelmed with how to bring my home vision to life. I left my consultation full of excitement, tangible ideas, and plenty of resources, My session was packed with ideas on how to create spaces that can age beautifully with my growing family and she empowered me to step out of my comfort zone with design elements in my kitchen. I am so grateful for the money and indecision she saved me!"

"Meeting with Whittney has been the single best experience of building a custom home during a pandemic! Due to the cost increase of materials, my budget to hire a designer disappeared. When I saw Whittney would be hosting mini-consultations via The Expert, I jumped at the chance, and it was worth it! Her work has always been a major source of inspiration! I feel so much better about the choices I've been making and am inspired by the suggestions she made! She was an absolute delight to chat with!"

"This my second appointment with Whittney and neither time disappointed! We had a complete remodel scheduled for our main bath and she gave a ton of direction for our material selections in a pre construction call. This time we nailed down all the final details to give my project that very polished look. She provided awesome resources, excellent insight and even shared how she approaches areas in a project. We even had time to do some fine tuning of the adjoining bedroom for a very cohesive look"

"We waited a month to meet with Whittney because we KNEW she was worth the wait and the investment. We felt like she captured exactly what we wanted while also expanding our creativity to some new ideas. If you are restoring or renovating a historic home…it pays to invest in someone who has the knowledge that she has. My husband and I ended our call and both said “Wow that was worth every penny” and we’re already thinking of other rooms to utilize her expertise. She’s beyond talented…AMAZING. "

"We have had two sessions with Whittney and cannot wait to have another! We are just blown away by her skills and talent in helping us bring our vision to life. You will NOT be disappointed. We had a spot in our kitchen we struggled with what to do and she was able to completely keep our "vibe" but giving us a whole new perspective on relocating something...it's making the ENTIRE kitchen more functional. We would never have thought to do it...hence...why you get someone so good like Whittney!!"

"Whittney shares her expertise and talents in such a lovely way, easily navigating my questions, spaces and topics from lighting, to surfaces, and materials. She helped me answer 1 or 2 kitchen islands (marble book matched on the single island!), gave great advice on tone for flooring, lighting (scale and color) for the great room and built ins. Also recommended stone sources for the master bath. This is my second new build and my questions are pretty specific and she is just that, The Expert. "
