**★★★★★ — Kristine Lindroth, April 2017**

> I first worked with Nancy 10 years ago to fully furnish and decorate my entryway, living and dining room. Nancy was a joy to work with, her team was extremely professional and the finished product was complete perfection. I loved all the furnishings she selected and everything withstood the test of time. I have thoroughly enjoyed my home over the years and could not have been happier.
>
> I am proud to say that I am working with Design Partners again. My family and I just moved to a larger home and it really needs Nancy.  We are in the midst of the first phase of the design project which reworks the entrance, living and dining room, family room and breakfast area.  Conscious of our needs, budget and my style, Nancy’s design proposal included an amazing selection of improvements, fixtures and furnishings. It was everything I wished for and now cannot live without. I know I will enjoy it all for many years and look forward to working with Nancy on phase two, three and four.

**★★★★★ — Barbara Walsh, Jan. 2017**

> We have worked with Design Partners for over 15  years and have continually been impressed with the excellence of their services. Thanks to Nancy Colbert's extensive design knowledge and talent,  we have a beautiful home which we love.  We are especially grateful for her wonderful design elements that we would never have thought of on our own. We also have been pleased with her concern for deadlines and ability to be flexible on budgets. She has been a pleasure to work with and we recommend her highly.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Bath clearance** *(in Photo Questions)*

Lovely bath!  What's the distance from the vanity wall to the tub?  I'm looking to do a similar layout but will only have 40-48 inches from the vanity to the tub. Not sure it will work. Thank you!

A: We had 5' between the vanity and the edge of the tub and it was quite adequate....thank you for the positive comment
