We were downsizing and therefore had enough furniture to accommodate all our square footage. We found Cortney to be > a pleasure to deal with; had a great eye for color coordination, and placement of furniture. Cortney took pictures of all our furniture before we moved, measured every piece, and made us a detailed diagram of the placement of every piece of furniture so that moving day was a little less stressful. **★★★★ — janetkuzio, Sept. 2013** > Barbara helped us when we moved into a new (to us) house in Highland Beach. We repainted the entire house and removed old wallpaper. She helped choose colors taking our taste into account. We also re-did one bathroom and powder room and changed the kitchen work surfaces. We also changed the flooring upstairs and re-carpeted one room and added built in furniture in the office and re-worked some existing bookshelves. She knew good suppliers and workmen and we were happy with all the results. She knew we had a budget and for the most part we were able to stay within the budget. > > She also worked with us on window treatments and new furniture , always being careful to try to incoroprate our existing furnishings where possible. I am very happy with the results and would recomend Barbara Cortney Designs **★★★★★ — fisherk3056, Sept. 2013** > Barbara Cortney Designs have always been professional and accommodating.
