The house is exactly what I wanted and she even saved me money. Very pleasant and caring. Went to battle where it was necessary. (Painter). I would recommend her to everyone that asks. **★★★★★ — HU-357564993, Nov. 2024** > Robin made every step of my remolding my home easier and fun. She directed me to stores that had what ever I was needing. She had wonderful and extra special ideas. She made my 6 months so much easier for me. I depended on her for every thing. **★★★★★ — fsgattis, Feb. 2024** > The owner of Simply Elegant Interiors was so easy to work with in our home and very knowledgeable about shutters for our study.

We love what we do. **★★★★★ — Debbie & Kyle Kahanek, Dec. 2023** > Simply Elegant Interiors is truly amazing. We used Robin to do the interior design/decorating of our entire previous home. It was an easy decision to choose Robin to work with again when we purchased a new home that was to to be a total rebuild from the studs. Robin has so much experience. She easily picked up on our design style and tastes. It could have been an extremely daunting task to pick every single finish on a new house from flooring, backsplash, shower enclosure, lighting, plumbing fixtures and so on. So many details. Robin knew just where to go to select the finishes with many options to choose from. Robin helped us to navigate the entire process with ease. She assisted us with selection of all new furnishings to include, living room sectional with cocktail and end tables, dining furniture and bedroom furniture. Her skills at selecting art and accessories such as centerpieces, pillows etc. are also spot on. With her impeccable design skills and knowledge, our vision came to life perfectly. Very important to also mention was Robin's ability to effectively communicate with the general contractor to ensure the design and build were in sync. If you want a knowledgeable, experienced, easy to work with interior design professional, I highly without question recommend Robin with Simply Elegant Interiors. **Comment from Simply Elegant Interiors:** > Thank you Debbie.

Robin amazes us with her ability to manage a project with what seems like minimal effort. She has in place all the teams for > Carpentry, painting, artistry, seamstress/upholstery, stone masons, etc. All disciplines are on board and have worked with her for years. This says a lot to me. Robin designs the work to be done and manages every aspect of the project with no worries to us. When Robin presents us with a budget, we can usually expect it to be on target as she is extremely skilled at remaining within the financial and time boundaries which we’ve established. Robin is immensely talented and creative. We have never been disappointed in the results of any project. Additionally, Robin’s professional skills are none to compare. She also love animals.

As always, it is always fun working with you. **★★★★★ — Greg t, Dec. 2022** > We were very fortunate to have found Robin, while researching for an interior designer to help us remodel a townhouse in need of a lot of love. Our remodel was pretty extensive and involved reconfiguring a laundry room, widening the opening between the family and dining rooms, refacing cabinets, scraping and texturing walls, installing new countertops, tile, flooring, and painting the whole house. Due to Robin’s expertise the finished product turned out great. We met her several times at various vendors and she was always on time and efficient at making selections. Thank you Robin for a job well done! **Comment from Simply Elegant Interiors:** > Thank you for reviewing us on Houzz. Our clients satisfaction is very important to us. > It was a true joy working with you and your spouse. > Thank you again for trusting Simply Elegant Interiors with your projects. **★★★★★ — HU-800383851, Dec. 2022** > Robin with Simply Elegant Interiors was instrumental in assisting with all design selections for the remodeling project of the upstairs. > > We wanted to do a complete bathroom remodel as well as the bedrooms upstairs and replace the carpeting up there.

I look forward to continuing our projects together. You are a joy to work with. **★★★★★ — HU-148658161, July 2022** > Robin was very professional in helping us pick lovely shutters and drapes. Her expertise was so valuable in helping us make selections. Robin was there for the installation and the final day of check up. > We couldn’t be happier!! **Comment from Simply Elegant Interiors:** > Thank you so much. It was a joy working with you! **★★★★★ — HU-357950566, Jan. 2022** > Robin has made my house into the home I envisioned for my dinning and living room.

I will definitely be using her services again. **Comment from Simply Elegant Interiors:** > Thank you so much! I really enjoyed working with you. **★★★★★ — Multi Purpose Room Remodel, July 2021** > This is our second job with Robin. We are remodeling a multi purpose room that will have home office space, exercise space, and movie watching space. With all this happening in one space, I need the room to feel serene and refreshing. Robin helped me find the perfect fabric for roman shades which are replacing blinds. She also helped me find the perfect fabric for a new sofa. Of course, due to covid, it will be several months before the furniture arrives. **★★★★★ — HU-860323344, June 2021** > Robin is excellent at coordinating and helping to find decor that fits what you’re wanting. Very helpful in getting decisions made on paint colors, wall decor, furniture, drapes and more. Also has great contractors to get all of the jobs done. Just did our second project with her. **★★★★★ — nancysplace14, May 2021** > Robin McHaney with Simply Elegant Interiors is the best! I interviewed several design consultants before selecting Robin for her open, easy going, and straight forward communication style, and variety of looks she has designed for her clients. Robin has not disappointed! She is helping us with design, color and materials selections, and overall consultation on our whole house remodel including coordinating and consulting with the carpenter, electrician, lighting design professional, flooring, etc. She has an incredible eye for color that is unmatched and is giving us great ideas for our project that are unique, custom to our taste and style, and affordable. She is very professional, collaborative, has access to great resources, keeps her word, always shows up early for appointments, and knows exactly what style we want to achieve for our home and has put together beautiful designs. So far we have completed the entire remodel of the master bathroom and it turned out gorgeous! Robin went with us to pick our color palette as well as counter top stone, tile flooring, consulted on cabinet design, window art, layout and materials - full service. It looks NOTHING like it did before - see before and after pictures below. We are so pleased with how it turned out and Robin made the process so fun and stress-free. Robin is our designer for life; we are working with her on the rest of our home - master bedroom, full kitchen remodel/design, furniture selection - everything. My husband and I love working with Robin and are always jazzed after meeting with her because her love for her work shines through in all she does. Thanks Robin for all you have done and are doing to help us beautify our home. You're the best! > > James and Nancy > Cypress, Texas **Comment from Simply Elegant Interiors:** > I have loved working with this family. I look forward to completing their vision. **★★★★★ — dtmcleod, Dec. 2020** > I previously worked with a different designer who charged a sizable amount of money and did a horrible job on drapes for our master bedroom. Then I called Robin at Simply Elegant Interiors and she saved the day. She completely reworked the drapes and turned them into something beautiful. I ended up using Robin for my entire house, draperies, bedding, tableaux, upholstery and much more. Robin listens to her clients and is totally honest. If she thinks what you’ve selected won’t look right, she will tell you and offer suggestions. I love that about her. I will always use Robin on future projects and highly recommend her to family and friends. **Comment from Simply Elegant Interiors:** > Thank you! You were a joy to work with. I look forward to helping you in the future. **★★★★★ — Aruna Narne, Dec. 2019** > Robin helped us to transform our kitchen and living area which includes tiles, kitchen cabinet color, wall color in open area and kids rooms, light fixtures, draperies and furniture selection. The project completed in time and within budget. **★★★★★ — Regina Johnson, Dec. 2019** > First of all, I’d like to say thank you to Robin for everything! > It has taken me a week to write this review because I wanted to think of everything I needed to say. > Bottom line, I could not have done this without her. My bathroom remodel turned in to a whole downstairs remodel due to flooding from a recent storm. Having to make selections for my entire house, all at the same time, was more than overwhelming to me. I have the visions in my head of what I wanted it to look like but cannot communicate them very well verbally. Robin was so patient with me. She listened to my ideas, likes, and wants and did her magic by putting them into words, so to speak. She spent hours with me making shower tile, wood flooring, granite, sinks, backsplash, fireplace stone and light fixture selections, not to mention ordering hundreds of different paint swatches for my whole house and cabinets. I didn’t realize just saying I wanted gray paint meant I had to chose from 50 shades of Gray, literally! > Not only was she available by email, she would always respond to my phone calls, texts and probably a dozen pictures of things I would send her. If she couldn’t really give an opinion based on a picture she would come to my house within minutes to look in person, on her own free time. That happened on more than 3 occasions. She would not give me her opinion on something unless she was 100% sure it was the right decision, and she would not tell me something looked good just because I thought it did. She is very honest but not in a way to make you feel bad about something. > Robin truly loves her job and her clients. She made me feel so at ease about making so many decisions at once. I was completely overwhelmed and dreading this process until I met Robin. > My home is almost complete, I cannot wait to see the final result. Do I ever want to have to remodel again, no....but if I do, Robin will be the first person I call. I don’t feel like I’m just a “client”, I feel like I’ve made a friend through this process. She has made it fun and kept me sane for the last three months. > If someone reading this is on the fence about hiring an interior designer, do not hesitate to reach out to Robin. I promise you will not be disappointed! **★★★★★ — Southern Belle, Oct. 2019** > I enjoyed working with Robin. Her ideas blended well with what I envisioned. She is friendly and personable. I do not work well with too many choices; therefore, I relied on Robin’s experience and her eye for color to make the paint color choices. Her ideas for window treatments and glare reduction in our kitchen, breakfast room, are beautiful and work great. Every texture, color, and material choice for our master bathroom are perfect and are things I would not have known would work together. I’m glad I found Robin and I highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — Joanna Luce, Dec. 2018** > Robin did an awesome job of finding out what I wanted and efficiently pulled together materials for kitchen, multiple bathrooms, carpet, paint, and light fixtures for my project. Her familiarity with a supplier’s product selections enable her to suggest several options which removed the stress of being overwhelmed by the number of choices. She was responsive to my likes and dislikes which included spending time going through more paint samples to ensure I was happy with my final selection. This project would not have come together as easily and smoothly as it did without her! **★★★★★ — Nichole McHaney, Dec. 2018** > Robyn is awesome. She made our new house look and feel like a home by adding drapes. She was punctual, efficient, and really listened to what we wanted and gave her own ideas to help us make things work. She was so helpful and so sweet. We really enjoyed working with her. Our home is beautiful and she really gave it that extra special look we wanted. **★★★★★ — Irene Powell, Aug. 2018** > We just moved to our new and forever home. I wanted to make sure that I got the help of a decorator early, rather than waste my money with trial and error purchases and ideas. I had been looking for an interior decorator way before our move. The search was overwhelming, trying to find a decorator that would identify my style and quirks and work within my budget. I reached out to Robin, based on a recommendation from a reliable source. After looking at the reviews from Houzz, I decided to go for it. > I have absolutely zero regrets! Robin is simply the best. She is punctual, caring, very professional, and budget friendly. She listened to my ideas and was able to perfectly peg down what I liked; she understood my vision. Our first project was the living room. She gave me practical ideas, color schemes and themes that would work for my whole house. She has no qualms letting me know if something wouldn't work - this is very important. She was very patient and realistic with me when it came to selecting material for our custom living room drapes. The results are more than what I had ever hoped for. My custom drapes are gorgeous! Everything came together so well! I hope you can see the subtle details of the drapes and how it completes the room. > I can't wait to continue working on our next project AND I would definitely recommend her, many times over. **★★★★★ — HU-44507455672, June 2018** > I was in the market to purchase drapes for my new home. I inquired with a prior interior designer who was disinterested in working with me since at the time I was only in the market to purchase drapes rather than having a larger project for her to work on. Robin is easy to work with, had great ideas, and tons of options. Robin helped me find fabric and hardware that to my liking. Once my order was placed she kept me updated on my order. Once the materials arrived she even spent hours with the installer at my home to supervise and make certain that everything was just perfect. I’d definitely hire Robin again for my next project. **★★★★★ — Elizabeth Worone, June 2018** > Robin is very pleasant to work with. She was always on time, prepared, and knowledgeable. We are very pleased with the outcome. Work was high quality. **★★★★★ — Amy Wilcox, June 2018** > I had been looking and researching for an interior decorator for some time. Quite by accident, I found Robin/Simply Elegant Interiors through some Facebook posts. Robin provided fresh ideas/suggestions, knowledge of colors and trends and was very dependable with installation to completion. She has an engaging, fun personality to work with. I now have an elegant and up to date livingroom and kitchen that I’m really proud of. You won’t be disappointed. **★★★★★ — Sharon Lambert, Dec. 2017** > I remodeled my kitchen and dining room from flooring, paint, granite, back splash, lighting fixtures, plantation shutters, rugs and draperies. I could not be more pleased with everything Robin chose. She was very attentive to my likes, dislikes and my budget. Robin was always professional and on time for our appointments. She is so easy to work with and has an eye for what looks good with what you are looking for! I get so many compliments on my kitchen, especially the back splash! **★★★★★ — Sylvia Presas, Dec. 2017** > After looking for an interior designer for our new home, we decided to go with Robin McHaney with Simply Elegant Interiors. I am so happy with my decision!! Our biggest fear was an interior designer who was going to create a space for us to their own ideals and creating a space that we could not afford. Robin addressed all of our concerns to create not only a beautiful space, but she was very practical about it. She addressed all of our needs and knew everything we wanted from a simple text and phone call. Maybe its experience, maybe it’s a gift, but she knew almost exactly what we wanted. I love that!! Robin was a pleasure to work with and makes the whole experience relaxing and fun. I highly recommend all homeowners to give her a shot. You can get great insight from Simply Elegant Interiors. **★★★★★ — Caroline C. Stevens, Dec. 2017** > I have worked with Robin for almost 9 years on multiple projects, across two homes (Fall Creek & Kingwood). Most have been small, in comparison. Robin recently helped us after the Harvey flood. As usual, she was able to take the vague descriptions for what I envisioned, and make it a gorgeous reality! With her help, I was able to choose all of the materials for our entire downstairs in one hour! This was such a help, as decision making was very overwhelming. It was very stressful to re-design the entire first floor! Robin made it so easy. We worked on the color of wood floors, stone in the study, and helped us coordinate our kitchen and master bathroom. Her designs are simple, yet elegant - just like her company’s name. She is always respectful of budgets, and goes out of her way to help in any way that she can. I’ve referred her to many people over the years. **★★★★★ — mlmckiss, Dec. 2017** > Simply Elegant, the name couldn't be more fitting. Robin was an absolute joy to work with. She took my vision and novice knowledge about drapery and brought my dream to life. **★★★★★ — Vicki Stansbury, Dec. 2017** > I cannot say enough wonderful things about Robin. She worked with my Mom after the Harvey flood. My Mom is 88 and without Robin, i don’t know what she would have done. Robin has superb taste, is very budget conscious and is so easy to work with. I can’t tell you how many times Mom changed her mind about things, and with Robin it was “no problem”. She’s dependable, always on time for meetings and very professional. I very highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — BLANCA FARIAS, Nov. 2017** > Robin did such a great job on the draperies for my 2-story windows. They look AMAZING and really elevate the look of my living room. In addition, she's super professional, always gives the best advice on what works best vs what might cost most, and is fair. I am not the best decorator but Robin really has an eye for what looks great. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to make their home beautiful. **★★★★★ — Debbie Kahanek, Nov. 2017** > Robin was great to work with on our project. We worked with her for a year on draperies and home decor. We chose to do the project in phases to spread the cost over time. She listened to our likes and dislikes to help us achieve the look we wanted. She is also amenable to repurposing items you already have for use in the design. The transformation is amazing. Would definitely recommend her for all of your decorating needs. **★★★★★ — Lauren Treuil, Aug. 2017** > Robin was Amazing to work with! She provided realistic expectations and was on time with everything required, I will definitely be using Simply Elegant Interiors for my future window treatments. This was the best experience I've had, and competitive pricing to boot! **★★★★★ — Patchy, Dec. 2016** > Simply Elegant Interiors is by far the most knowledgeable and resourceful company I have worked with to date, and there has been numerous over the years, as I enjoy restoring old properties. The work quality is stellar and Robin will not settle for anything less. She is strictly hands on and she does not leave details to technicians and installers. > Our latest project was an old cottage that needed to basically be rebuilt. Start date for project was March 2016 with a budget of 100,00.00. Every detail to rebuild this old place and keep it to period of 1930's was accomplished in that we visited antique shops and shopped for decorative, dishes, rugs, furnishings. This old place is located in rural East Texas where resources are most limited. This was not a problem for Robin. She located vendors from all areas and some how convinced them to service our area. That was short of a miracle. > At present, we have decided to secure Simply Elegant Interiors for the landscaping of this 12 area. She has suggested a pond and small scale orchard. We are very excited about the final outcome of the grounds. > In conclusion, we just don't, feel secure trusting this complex of a project to anyone else. Robin has always met budget and most of all deadlines with time for weekly review built into her schedule. > Robin's integrity and work quality is always delivered with great care, friendliness, and we trust her with our resources !!!! **★★★★★ — Gary Hannon, Dec. 2016** > Robin is a great designer and very easy to work with. She is great with color and gets the job done right. I'm a decorative artist and work with a lot of designers. She's definitely one of the best. **★★★★★ — Cindy Blankenship, Dec. 2016** > I can highly recommend Robin. She was a true professional. I appreciated her ability to listen and take in the 'wants and needs' of the family. She is the opposite of pushy and is really dedicated to making sure her clients are happy with the end project. Robin's experience and knowledge helped me design and choose fabrics perfect for my home. She helped me with the window treatments for my dining room, master bedroom and guest room. I am thrilled with how everything turned out. > I can easily recommend Robin to anyone needing a designer's help for their home. **★★★★★ — Lori Aungst, Dec. 2016** > Loved Robin from the second she waked in our door!!! > We have not had our product installed yet, However Robin has been awesome so far. She was a huge help when we were trying to decide what patterns and designs to go with. We would have been completely LOST with out her.

I work with several firms and decorators. I feel that Robin is one of the best that I have worked with over the past 37 years of installing. She is very professional and stays on top of her work. Robin only uses top notch products and services. She is very kind and a lot of fun to work with. **★★★★★ — Amy Uribe, Dec. 2016** > This is the second home Robin has helped me decorate. I really appreciate the time she took to help me pick out the fabric for my window treatments. The quality is top-notch and they look beautiful. **★★★★★ — sisterpam48, Oct. 2016** > I liked Robin from the start, She helped me with my house on how to match my color of paint with my furniture. She helped me pick out the flooring for all of my house. She was very kind and gave me great advice for later projects. **★★★★★ — cooldoc2001, Aug. 2015** > Robin did a great job at helping me decorating my home while staying within a budget.

So I will be recommending her as well. > She is so creative, easy to work with, professional & fun ! > Thanks Robin for making my home look beautiful ! **★★★★★ — Dee Jefferson White, Jan. 2015** > I am totally happy with my experience with Robin McHaney of Simply Elegant Interiors. I sort of knew what I wanted, but I just don’t know how to put it together or where to start. Robin McHaney of Simply Elegant Interiors was the right person for me. Our home needed a professional’s touch. I had attempted to work with another popular interior design firm in the past, but I didn’t like the cumbersome processes, and a minimum project price limit which was beyond my initial budget. I found Simply Elegant through a community referral page. Robin is a professional designer with good rates that my somewhat modest budget could afford. > > This project was window treatments for my family room (20 ft ceilings) and breakfast area and also some decor items. It all came together in the perfect combination for me, a professional designer with expert style, easy to work with, timely, flexible, honest, and most importantly budget friendly. Looking forward to doing several future projects with Simply Elegant Interiors. Whether you are experienced working with interior design, or this is your first project, Robin is a consummate professional and I highly recommend her. **★★★★ — palomab, Oct. 2014** > Robin created some very elegant window treatments for my home. She was very easy to work with and provided just what I was looking for - the treatments came out great! I would recommend her services. She works within your budget, which was great. **★★★★★ — jordyjordy, Oct. 2014** > Robin L. McHaney,r was recommended to us with highest regard. Upon meeting the Owner of Simply Elegant Design, she presented in a most professional manner. She made every effort to answer my questions and concerns intelligently, explaining the services which would be needed to complete each project in our home. Her explanations were done through strong visual presentations, product samples, etc. Mrs. McHaney is prompt in arriving to all scheduled appointments and projects were completed in timely manner. The quality of work produced by this designer was absolutely representative of knowledge, skill, enthuasim and dedication which she has to service her customers. It is with the highest regard that I recommend Robin McHaney to the Houston and surrounding community due to her level of Integrity and strong communication skills with family members and external vendors during project construction. We felt very "Taken Care Of". Our Pets as well !!!! > We are very pleased with each project which Simply Elegant Design has completed in our home and plan to continue to update our home through her services in the future. The Palmers **★★★★★ — pamelafitch, Oct. 2014** > I met Robin soon after moving to Fall Creek when I needed help decorating my new home. She has a very creative flair and was interested in making my home special. She brought books, fabrics, trim along with drawing pictures so I would understand exactly what she was thinking. She was not only extremely helpful with ideas but wanted to make sure I was completely comfortable with the final execution. She worked with me in every room and I know she was proud of our accomplishments. She is professional, ambitious, creative, innovative and a joy to work with. **★★★★★ — kasscarson, Oct. 2014** > We had the pleasure of working with Ms. McHaney when we decided to upgrade our dining room, breakfast room, family room and master bedroom areas. This occurred over a period of time as we spaced out our interior projects. The quality of Ms. McHaney's work far surpassed any company I have worked with in the past. Her attention to detail is truly exceptional and her ability to achieve the perfect balance of functionality and beauty is a unique talent. Aside from her talent and strong work ethic, Ms. McHaney is an absolute delight to work with. She listens carefully and is mindful of her environment and how rooms are utilized. She is reliable, prompt and so very gracious. She was always a step ahead and thinking of ways to incorporate beautiful yet child friendly (and pet friendly) fabrics and styles. She truly transformed our home and we were exceedingly pleased with her work. We have since moved and she continues to assist us with our interior design. **★★★★★ — Lynne Larson, Oct. 2014** > I hired Robin about 3 years ago to work on window treatments and paint selection. I am so happy with her work. Her designs are beautiful and the workmanship on her team is exquisite. Robin is very professional and personable. I highly recommend her for interior design work. **★★★★★ — markparrott, Oct. 2014** > Robin did a great job working with us on a variety of window treatments for our home. She was helpful and professional at all times. **★★★★★ — HighMxJen, Oct. 2014** > I have adored working with Robin on countless projects throughout our home. She is professional, amazingly creative and crazy talented at what she does. I love how I can trust her to reel me in according to my budget, while at the same time never sacrificing taste or luxury. Thanks to Robin, I love inviting people over to our home! Working with her allowed me to create a home that is beautiful and elegant, yet warm and practical enough for our family. **★★★★★ — Amy Uribe, Oct. 2014** > With all of the choices of paint colors and fabric styles available, I really couldn't choose on my own. I needed help and Robin was great! She took time to find out my tastes and then presented a few options based on those. My house looks fabulous and all for a reasonable price. I highly recommend Simply Elegant Interiors! **★★★★★ — mandy1210, Oct. 2014** > Robin is always professional, but like talking to a friend. She helped me find my style and worked with me to prioritize what really needed to be done in my very empty new home to make it beautiful. Having never worked with a decorator before, I expected it to be time consuming and overwhelming, but she made it so much fun and managed every detail. She provided proactive communication to let me know things were still on track when draperies were being made, tableaux designed, etc. I am looking forward to working with Robin again on my next project. **★★★★★ — bonthomps, Oct. 2014** > I sought Robin's assistance for window treatments for my home, specifically for the family room, breakfast room, kitchen, and formal dining room. Prior to this, the only window treatments that were in place were 2-inch blinds for privacy, and my home just looked plain and sterile. The house is beautiful, but it did not feel like a home, and I was contemplating selling. Robin assured me that I would feel differently about my home once I saw it with window coverings, and she was so right. My experience in working with Robin was entirely positive. Because I was already familiar with the taste and quality of her work, I simply asked her to make design suggestions for each window and to pull a couple of fabrics and hardware based on the colors already represented in my home. She was able to quickly provide her recommendations accompanied by a professionally prepared cost estimate and anticipated timeframe in which I could expect installation. She adeptly facilitated the decision process in a way that greatly relieved my mind, because I didn't want to spend hours pouring over fabrics. I was so impressed with her designs and the fabric combinations she suggested, and I couldn't wait to see my new windows. On installation day, Robin showed up with her installer (he's great too!) on time. She also came in at the agreed budget we'd set together. I am certain I have the most beautiful windows in The Woodlands/Conroe area! In addition, she helped me select an entertainment center and area rugs which look gorgeous against the backdrop of my window treatments. I am so thrilled! My house now feels like a warm, cozy, beautiful home. **★★★★★ — celialevesque, Sept. 2014** > Robin McHaney helped me with numerous projects in my home. She custom made window treatments, helped me pick paint colors, made custom bedding, and helped me shop for home accessories. She is always on time for appointments. Installation of window treatments were done correctly. **★★★★★ — jmclean1, Sept. 2014** > Robin is an expert at what she does. She is creative, experienced and knowledgeable, her attention to detail and exemplary work ethic made it easy for us to work together. Thank you so much for transforming my kitchen and family room. I will definitely be working with Robin again. **★★★★★ — probandt, Sept. 2014** > Robin McHaney is absolutely the best decorator I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her knowledge, level of skill, and beautiful and elegant ideas have been invaluable to me in the recent updating and remodeling our home. She guided us in so many areas through the remodeling process... and the beautiful finishing touches that she helped us add made all of the difference! We were very pleased and I have recommended her to many of my friends! **★★★★★ — tinaclifto, Sept. 2014** > I have used Robin several times in the past year, and would definitely recommend her to everyone. She is a fantastic person and lovely to work with. Annette H **★★★★★ — Nita, Sept. 2014** > I hired Robin to dress two large square windows in my bathroom. I was pretty clear on what I wanted and contacted her because she was one of the few decorators that dealt with the Tableaux Iron product I was wanting. I also wanted a valance to finish the windows. She offered endless fabric books that allowed me to find the color scheme and pattern I wanted. In the end, she delivered the product in the time agreed upon and I was ecstatic with the end result. **★★★★★ — auamanda, Sept. 2014** > I had a wonderful time working with Robin at Simply Elegant Interiors. While I was completely overwhelmed with selecting drapery for a massive vaulted room, Robin was extremely professional in her patience and design suggestions. She designed what I "asked for" and when I realized I really didn't like it, she designed something else. Again and again until we discovered the perfect set of draperies! Robin gave careful detail and explanation to each step of the process (you wouldn't believe what "hanging a pair of curtains" really entails!) Her willingness to work with my budget was SO appreciated; offering suggestions to "save here" and "spend here." Robin was in constant communication with me regarding ordering statuses, warehouse schedules, etc. And she was at my house during the entire installation process; giving direction and making sure the draperies were absolutely perfect (down to the last fold). The draperies were beautifully designed, sewn, and installed. You will not be disappointed while working with Robin! **★★★★★ — justjust01, Sept. 2014** > I hired Simply Elegant Interiors in March 2014. I wanted faux iron above the fireplace. Robyn came to my home and explained what the process was in ordering and installing the Faux Iron. She brought samples of the Faux Iron, and after the area was measured the order was placed. My Faux Iron was delivered and installed in the exact time she said it would be and my piece was beautiful. > > While in my home, Robyn gave me decorating ideas for my kitchen, which I have put into place. I Highly recommend Simply Elegant Interiors and would definitely use her again. ## Selected projects - [Cypress Area Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cypress-area-remodel-pj-vj~7145448) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - Description: I have had the pleasure of working with an amazing couple.
