> As far as I'm concerned, she is the best designer anyone could ever work with.

> Marlene Freeman has always had an excellent reputation in the interior design field. My husband and I have bought and sold several houses and we have always used Marlene and her expertise in building, remodeling and decorating. My husband is in real estate and always recommends Marlene to his clients. They have always been pleased with her design ideas. She does new construction, total remodels and furnishes the homes with impeccable taste.
>
> We will continue to use her as she always pleases us and all of her clients.

**★★★★★ — Rosemary, Oct. 2020**

> Since 2005, when I first asked Marlene to totally overhaul our condo, she has consistently demonstrated an unfailing ability to find the perfect pieces and tailor furnishings to achieve an overall look that surpasses expectations.
>
> Whether it’s replacing a few pieces or doing a complete makeover for a new look 10 years later, Marlene works with you to identify your taste and keeps you abreast of progress.  I’m always impressed how Marlene can combine an innate sense of style and work her magic in the price range I select to achieve beautiful, tasteful, and optimal results.  I think of Marlene as my fairy godmother waving a magic wand!

**★★★★★ — HU-539348693, Oct. 2020**

Marlene and I have worked together for 5 years. She is creative, listens to her clients and respectfully leans on our Armored Frog team to meet deadlines.  I would recommend Marlene because she is a very good designer and easy to work with. She does her homework, listens to her clients and communicates clearly. You will enjoy working with her!

**★★★★★ — Norma, Sept. 2020**

> Marlene has help me with interior designs for my beach house in Watercolor, Florida.  She finds excellent pieces that compliment my home and style.  She listens to my goals and objectives for my projects and always gives me great options.  She is my go to designer and will continue to be for a long time.

**★★★★★ — Karri Shaw, Sept. 2020**

> Marlene is an exceptional interior designer and has made the experience of remodeling our beach home so easy.  She handled everything from counter top installers, plumbers, painters and the electrician to furniture installation when it arrived.  Having been through a couple of complete house remodels that we’re extremely exhausting and frustrating, I was a little doubtful that this one would be this easy....but it was!  She made the remodel enjoyable because I didn’t have to manage any contractors in the process...she did it all and it is beautiful.   She did an amazing job and I still have all of my hair!  Thank you, Marlene!

**★★★★★ — Lori Pellerin, Sept. 2020**

> Marlene is very professional and has a keen eye for design!  She has been very organized and helpful throughout the design process with several of our properties. She is very cognizant of excellent design and quality while also taking into consideration the personality and style of her clients.
> I would highly recommend her and her work!

**★★★★★ — Johnna Stickler, Sept. 2020**

> It is with great pleasure that I recommend Marlene. Whether I needed help with draperies, choosing paint colors, finding the right furniture, or arranging items in my home, Marlene Freeman Designs by Marlene has truly been a joy to work with for the past seven years. By taking the time to understand my tastes and goals Marlene was able to incorporate her flair for design into a look I absolutely love.  My husband and I believe Marlene is the epitome of excellence in her field – God has given her an incredible talent! We highly recommend Marlene and look forward to working with her for many years to come. She is absolutely the best and it is a treat to be around her positive attitude and beautiful spirit.

**★★★★★ — MIKE CHOURI, Sept. 2020**

> Highly recommended! Professional, Charismatic and Detailed Oriented Interior Decorator. Marlene has the eye for any home interior design and decoration. The great thing about Marlene is that she can work with your ideas (with enhancements of course and your choosing) OR you can just dictate what your final expectations are and let her go with it. Another great reason to hire Marlene is that she is very much connected with her vendors and you can be assured that she will get you the lowest price on the highest quality products. My wife and I are very pleased customers.

**★★★★★ — Kathy Womac, Sept. 2020**

> I have worked with Marlene on a few projects, both for my home and rental property.  Her designs are beautiful and functional.  She personally handles and oversees each project from start to finish.  She does a beautiful design always keeping the budget in mind.  It is a joy to work with Marlene.

**★★★★★ — Mercidees McTeer, March 2018**

> Marlene made what could have been a very unpleasant experience , because my husband wasn't excited about sitting for hours going through books, a wonderful experience. Her design knowledge, insight, and on time delivery convinced us to use her for several other projects. Marlene has a worm personality that makes working with her a delight.

**★★★★★ — Carrie Nagrani, March 2018**

> Marlene is wonderful to work with and is very passionate about creating home interiors that signify her clients personality and style. We are so happy with our home and receive many compliments on its classic, timeless elegance

**★★★★★ — Jane Barnsteiner, Feb. 2018**

> We did an entire reno of our 2 bedroom Miramar Beach, FL condo. Marlene took our ideas and turned our place into a stunning, comfortable, restful retreat. She has a wide range of local contacts who can customize things and she had a wonderful collaborative relationship with our contractor. We were happy she was able to stay within our budget.
