My entire experience was beyond pleasurable and exceeded my expectations for such a large project that we were conquering within limiting time constraints. The entire house was beautifully transformed into a home of utter beauty and tranquility. From advice on the design and layout of the house, taking into consideration the practicality and functionality of its flow, to the wall color, room-by-room furnishings and tasteful fabrics selected, Carolyn's talent and experience were key to each and every decision. Every person that steps foot in our house experiences the same reaction that we have each and every time - one of tranquility and comfort while being surrounded by sheer elegance and ease. **★★★★★ — Cary Hazlegrove, Dec. 2017** > Carolyn Thayer brings the beauty of the outside into her interiors with a keen sense of how light interacts with texture, textiles, lighting and furniture.
