**★★★★★ — Davis Cherington, Jan. 2018**

> Polly served as my designer over the 4-month course of my renovation and redecoration project.  She quickly caught on to my preference for conservative low-key design while injecting her sense of style, color and the need for complementarity from one room to the next.  She injected some style into what might have been acceptable but dull.
>
> Polly’s knowledge of tile vendors and tile design rescued my kitchen from 100% subway tile, She created a tile layout which has drawn countless compliments from visitors.
>
> After a getting acquainted process, we became very efficient in selecting paint colors as well as furniture fabrics.  Polly could bring me three alternative samples and I could pick one within five minutes. This saved many hours of agonizing indecision.  For me, the speed with which she learned my range of a acceptability saved time (and money) and made my redecorating project affordable and enjoyable.

**★★★★★ — Carrie Burr, Jan. 2018**

> Enjoy your time working with Polly Corn! I have employed Polly for both big and small projects. She has helped me refresh a room and completely redo a room. She has also worked with me to design and furnish a full home. Polly has approached each project with a clear vision that includes understanding my design ideas, budget and timeline. She has a keen eye for details and is well informed on the nuances that come with working with contractors (be they builder, carpenter, window treatments, etc.). Enjoy Your time working with Polly. It will be fun.
