**★★★★★ — Janet Crocker, March 2020**

> I hired 3R Design to re-decorate my living room.  Stephanie was awesome.  She has such amazing vision on any project she tackles.  I was thrilled with the finished product.  While there she also completely revamped my outdoor patio using existing furniture improving the flow and increasing the seating capacity.  So impressed with her talent.

**★★★★★ — Valrie Marr, Jan. 2020**

> Believe it or not it was a Gov. agency that put me onto 3R Design, and I couldn't have been any happier with the outcome. I'd say that my situation was worse than others, as I had storage from over the years, unexpectedly delivered to my home a number of months prior. I was only able to 'pick' at it as I lived by myself and I had suffered a spinal cord injury years before and was awaiting another surgery, so I was not a lot of help and there was a mess in every room.
>    Stephanie was a pro from the start. She put my mind ease, my embarrassment to bed, and dug right in. Between drawing up
> pre-approval plans, implementing them, rolling up her sleeves, hard work and commitment, Stephanie performed amazing feats. There was a lot here but she helped me to see that I could let much of it go. Then by coming up with ingenious storage ideas and novel ideas and arrangements, she not only let me live in my house again but she helped make it much more handicapped friendly.
>    Even though we stayed on the Organization and Storage side of it due to to necessity and the timing of things, Stephanie was able to work some decorating wonders here and there. LOL, Bonnuuus!
> When it comes to what the future holds, I don't doubt whether I will be hiring her to see me through that scrimmage, I KNOW I will. She is budget conscience, there when she says she is going to be, she does not agree with me because I want her to (she has her own voice), she knows what she is doing, and she does great work. She's a Pro through and through. I feel bad because I promised to write a review months ago and forgot to do it, but I could never forget Stephanie. OR her helping me get my life back on track.

**★★★★★ — HU-40956305, Jan. 2020**

> Very professional! Stephanie listened careful to our needs and blended both our style perfectly while encouraging us to look beyond our comfort zones. She was always punctual,  kept meetings on point, worked with the budget allotted and saved where possible. Highly recommend!!!

## Community Q&A

**Q: What colour is used in the bathroom of the Northside EastBay Residence** *(in Photo Questions)*

Also do you work out of the Tarbot/ Englishtown area at all?  Thank you.

A: Hi Teresa, So sorry for the very late response.  I should check this account more often.  That being said,  the colour I used in this bathroom is by Benjamin Moore call Gossamer Blue 2123-40.    

Tarbot/ Englishtown area I can do.  It's about an hour from my place so there would be traveling expense but I definately can and would work out that way.  We use to have a cottage by Chanterelle Inn so it's a drive I know well :-)  

What is your latest project your working on? 

thanks for contacting me and again apologies for such a late response. 

Take care, 
Stephanie
