Local Artists in Washington

“Sue Marion, of Murals and More, is an excellent artist and color consultant for your home. She can follow through with a vision you have for a mural, give you ideas for paint colors on your walls, stencil fabulous accent walls and more. We love the colors she picked out for our home. Our tween girls are thrilled about their accent walls and we could not recommend Murals and More enough,”

“Stephen Procter's large-scale pots and urns are among the finest we have ever seen. We have three in our 1 1/2 acre garden at the moment. They add stature and grace and, being stoneware, we can leave them out all winter here in southeastern Vermont. Being a garden designer, I recommend Stephen's pots to my clients without reservation. Furthermore, Stephen himself is a joy to work with.”

“I did not want the stock railings that you buy from a catalog for my stairs. I called many places that I saw on Houzz that did creative, specialty railings for my home. Some did not even get back to me. Ray was easy to talk to, very attentive and worked with me on the price. The railing that he put in my home is amazing. It is a beautiful piece of artwork which you see as soon as you walk in my front door. Everyone comments on it. I am SO happy I found Ray of Artisan Iron. I would recommend him highly.”

“Jen Violette's work has graced my home for many years. I've collected bottles, vases and sugar/creamer sets, all colorful, whimsical and warm. When Jen started making fruits and vegetables like those pictured on this website, I couldn't resist some pears and peaches. Orders have always been sent on time and as promised. Jen is as beautiful as her work”

“Linda is great at what she does, and what she does is create textures,color and warmth in her design work. She took a small work space and made it “big”, colorful and added dimension to an otherwise bland spot. It was exactly what I needed for my business. She is the real deal. Let her know what you have in mind and let her run with it. Highest recommendation.”

“Our firm has come to rely on Simon Pearce for their amazing hand-blown glassware, colorful pottery and accessories. Sandy Goldman and Christine Alston, of the Greenwich Showroom, are such a pleasure to work with, assisting us in selecting just the right tableware, arranging shipping and assuring that everything arrives on time. We look forward to introducing many more of our clients to Simon Pearce's beautiful products!”

“Everything I have graced my home and children's homes with has been wonderful and meaningful from window hangings, vase, chimes, wall hangings. There is heart and soul in each piece created and there in lies its special beauty.”

“I have known Laura for over 20 years. Not only is she a gifted artist, she is a thoughtful listener and creates designs that consistently exceed a clients expectations. Laura made each space she touched exquisite. I would highly recommend her.”

“With a written description, and a few emails, Natalie was able to create the perfect piece of tile art for our new home within our budget. She was able to capture the essence of the location, the Missouri Ozarks, with the river, hills, moon and a bat. Thanks Natalie, it was a pleasure to work with you. Cheryl Ross tieszen ”

“My husband and I decided to raze our 90 year old lake cottage rather than try to convert the seasonal building to year round. In the process we also wanted a more practical design. Because of State of NH rules for lakefront residents we were restricted to two bedrooms we wanted to make sure our floor plan was done well. My husband had the necessary background to do the construction design but I knew if left to him we would have a very sturdy box as our new cottage. I wanted one with some aesthetic appeal as well as a practical design inside. Paul was recommended to us by a past client. We met with him and gave him ideas of what we would like. He was great about listening especially to my ideas. This property had been my parents summer home so I had spent 60 summers there. Some thing about the new cottage were very firm in my plans because of what I was used to or wanted in the new place. Paul was great at incorporating all of them. Very shortly after that initial meeting he had the first draft of the outdoors design and the floor plans. We were delighted. There were a few minor tweaks that had to be done but they were minor and within a month of our first meeting we were starting the new cottage. It was simple. We did not want anything too fussy. But it had beautiful classy touches that just made it so rich looking without making the building too expensive. We were on a budget but did not want the building to look it. And boy did his design fill that bill. It looks so chic and elegant. The proof of this has been the overwhelming compliments we have gottten on the place. Not one of our neighbors, friends, workmen or just strangers going by ever have anything but raving compliments. We have never gotten a “gee that is really nice”. It is alway “ Wow your cottage is just fabulous. I love the..... fill in here so many of the nice details Paul incorporated. We are on the waterfront so the first summer we got so many boats slowing by and giving us the thumbs up or actually stopping and telling us how beautiful it was we were starting to feel like celebraties. It has calmed down now but we are about to start the garage that was designed at the same time. I am excited to see the reaction to it. I am prejudiced but I think it will be a hit as well. Needle to say I can say nothing negative about hiring Paul if you need a home design. He has excellent taste, is pleasant to work with and we found his fees more than reasonable. If I needed design services again I would not hesitate to call him again.”
