Millie went above and beyond our expectations to make our remodel experience go smoothly and she was extremely organized and on top of everything from start to finish. She definitely has an eye for interior design. We all thoroughly enjoyed working with Millie and would love to work with her again in the future. I highly recommend her services!!

**★★★★★ — Dave Schulte, Nov. 2018**

> We hired Millie with a requirement to completely remodel our new home....with a 30 day window before move in. We replaced 2700+ Sq ft of flooring, gutted and replaced 3 baths, tile, counter tops and back splashes in all, gutted and retiled laundry, added sink and quartz counter tops, painted interior, including the garage, demo'd the fireplace and replaced it. Redid the kitchen with existing countertops and re-configured the cabinets to fit our needs. Because of Millie's expertise, her outstanding relationships with her contractors and limitless energy we were able to finish all this and move in on time! She is the consummate professional, can't say enough good things about her work and our experience with her, Call her first, you'll not regret it!

**★★★★★ — mjhowton, March 2018**

**★★★★★ — peter vogel, March 2018**

> Millie Sullivan is an extraordinarily talented interior designer. Our company has used her exclusively to design five  high end custom homes for us over the last five years.  With her extensive knowledge of all facets of home construction, floor plan layout, interior design finishes and the ability to coordinate the flow of people and design along with functionality in the remodeling or construction of a home, she is unequaled. Millie Sullivan is a true artist in creating beautiful  interior designs. She has been instrumental in building our reputation as a high quality high end  custom home developer.  She knows how to work as an equal with architects, contractors, sub-contractors, material suppliers and most importantly with the client to develop just the right style , feel and look required for a project. We build custom spec homes and her work is so good that we will delay a project until we know her services are available. She is extremely cheerful , pleasant and conscientious to work with. Her ability to coordinate color and design and finishes to give a seamless flow to a house is uncanny.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Great kitchen update!** *(in Photo Questions)*

Did you keep the existing bases and just change out the doors or did you get all new bases as well?  Thanks!

A: Thank you!  The cabinet layout is the same but the sizes and use of many of the cabinets changed so all of the cabinets are new.

**Q: Countertop** *(in Photo Questions)*

What material/color is this island stone?  Is this Taj Mahal quartzite?

A: Yes, the counter is Taj Mahal quartzite.  Very hard material.  Really beautiful in person as you've seen in the slab shops.
