We recently completed an extensive renovation of a beach house that included a kitchen, two bathrooms, living/family room, office, master bedroom and entryway spaces. Nicole designed all the new spaces which included moving walls, to create an open kitchen/eating area. Nicole listened to our ideas and wish lists and matched them with her talented eye and feeling for light, warmth, comfort and bright, fresh style. We relied on Nicole and her choices for color, textures, tile, stone, plumbing fixtures, lighting, flooring, railings, furniture, window treatments and carpets. She was always a pleasure to work and create with, presenting us with different scenarios and always guiding us to what she felt would work best. The new space is truly gorgeous and we love all of Nicole's ideas and choices. We highly recommend Nicole Rice and Coastal Decor and are so happy we worked with her on this important project! **Comment from Coastal Decor & Interior Design:** > Thank you so much Lee, for trusting me with your project.

I moved to a beach community and although I took a lot of my home furnishings with me, I needed to pull my guest bedrooms together and add some fun coastal decor to my home. Nicole helped me find the most perfect pieces to compliment what I already had. Don't be fooled by the small selection at her store as she can get you just about anything that you describe. I picked pieces from her store and from her design collection and found working with her fun and easy. I love everything thing that we have done so far and she provides amazing personal professional service. Im not finished yet but so far I am thrilled with the progress we are making and I highly recommend Coastal Decor for all of your home decorating needs! Its very refreshing to work with someone you know you can trust and to support small town business at the same time. Her expertise in home decor, good eye, good taste and design experience all come into play when you're working with her and she clearly loves what she does! I look forward to working with Nicole for many years to come and love popping into the store to see all of the latest finds and trends in Coastal Decor and giftware. Whether you have a big job or a small one, put your trust in Nicole as she will get the job done for you! **Comment from Coastal Decor & Interior Design:** > Thank you so much Pam!
