ReDesigning Life

When we built our semi-custom Soper home in 2010 I was a little overwhelmed. I am a visual, concrete person that really needs to "see" something to be able to visualize it so choosing all of the styles and the colors from swatches and books and samples was both difficult and nerve-racking. Donna was with us every step of the way providing meaningful and relevant advice on color combinations, design and even the layout of our home. Once the project was complete and it was time to decorate, again I was a bit daunted. We had a lot of room but after a long build we were about out of money. I wasn't looking for a show home, just a home where I could take the possessions we had and loved and move them into our new home. Donna is known for her unique ability to take space and turn it into something eye catching, remarkable and innovative; yet that wasn't what I wanted for my home. My personal taste is simple, sort of plain Jane and very conservative. She could have designed a picture-perfect-magazine-worthy-show home but instead worked with what was important to me: she took my dad's stuffed bobcat, my personal library, our family pictures, and a variety of sentimental knickknacks that make me smile along with a few new items and redesigned our home into a wonderfully comfortable yet pleasing to the eye home. With busy teenagers, a grandmother, several visiting grandchildren and a variety of pets we live hard in our home every day. I call our home my Haven of Rest and every day that I wake up here is a blessing. We couldn't have chosen a designer with greater intuition and vision than Donna. I give her my highest recommendation.

Donna completely transformed our 1980's home! She chose the perfect colors of paint to update all of our rooms. She encouraged me to "think outside the box" and try some ideas I never would have imagined. She helped choose flooring, window coverings, furniture, and decor that all turned out beautifully. My husband is still commenting on the transformation! Donna is extremely talented and enthusiastic about her trade and isn't at all intimidating-- which was important to me. She was also respectful of our budget. I can't recommend her any more highly.

Donna is very professional and friendly but most of all, she stays current with the latest trends, which is important to me!

I bought a new construction home last year. Although it is beautiful it was a little bland. She helped me pick paint for an accent wall and it turned out great! She also helped me pick out new lighting for almost every room, new furniture and a new rug! It is so cute now! She is very good at what she does and she is fun to be around. Her prices are very fair. She even went shopping with me for little things like pillows and wall art. She also gave me the idea to repaint some of my furniture like my dining table and chairs and my antique dry sink, and they turned out great. I like that it's more custom than buying new brown furniture. I will be calling her again for when I paint the next room or door.

Donna was so great, and she’s so creative! She helped me repaint some of my old furniture to bring it new life and up to date. I was on a very tight budget yet you would never know, my apartment looks fabulous! She made me a custom headboard out of fence board that is so cool. Overall she was easy to work with and I would recommend her for any size job!
