I knew that the furniture and arrangement had become stale, but did not know where to start to update it. Mary quickly picked up on my taste and preferences and made appropriate recommendations. She saved me the time and stress of shopping and honed in on the items that would make the most impact. She artfully incorporated favorite items that I did not want to get rid of. I am thrilled with my newly redecorated space, which finally is cohesive with the previously remodeled kitchen and master suite upgrades, and I am now proud to show it off to family and friends. **★★★★★ — Robert Hendry, Aug. 2016** > When Mary staged our house in Leiper's Fork, it looked so good that we knew we had to have her decorate our new home in Westhaven. The second part was made easier by the fact that the staged house sold with 24 hours of being listed, despite us putting it on the market over Thanksgiving! Mary is now finishing up the new home, and it is so much more comfortable, lovely, and fits out lifestyle in every way. She's the best! **Comment from Forsythe Home Styling:** > Robert, thank you for your review and accolades! It was teamwork to get your house staged and so pleased it went under contract quickly. I was delighted when you and your wife asked me to help with your new home. It is so much brighter and so glad you love the furniture! It’s been my pleasure to work with you both! **★★★★★ — davidpblessington, July 2016** > Forsythe Home Styling did a fantastic job on my home. They provided color coordination for the entire house. Family, friends and neighbors are visibly impressed by her work and very complimentary. **★★★★★ — The Milam Group and Fridrich and Clark Realty, May 2016** > I am an active Realtor with a team of 7 who work with Home Buyers and Sellers in Greater Nashville and Williamson Co.

All of this is delivered with care, consideration and a willingness to go the extra mile to help. She is a delight to work with. She watched over everything for us and we could not have got the work done with out her, period. She always made sure the details were right, including going to the paint shops to be sure colors were appropriately mixed, showing up with paint samples to be sure we go the look we wanted and helping us find the right talent, no matter what the job. We had to get everything done in a couple of weeks and move in.

The results are fabulous: a new large shower, refaced cabinets, glass accent tile, beautiful lighting, and a new makeup vanity. Mary is a delight. She facilitated all aspects of the redo from demolition to finishing touches. She is detail-oriented and makes sure that all is perfect. We could not have done this without her. **Comment from Forsythe Home Styling:** > It was a pleasure to work with you both and so happy you are enjoying your new bathroom! **★★★★ — amy\_s1029, March 2015** > Mary was very helpful and knowledgeable as we prepared to stage our home. She also has a great network of excellent industry contacts. **Comment from Forsythe Home Styling:** > Thank you Amy for your review - it was a pleasure to work with you. **★★★★★ — akwalling, March 2015** > Our realtor brought Mary in to consult on the staging of our home to prepare it for sale. She provided numerous very simple and inexpensive suggestions such as where to place plants and artwork, and what color to paint the front door. Our home looked amazing after making her suggested changes and was sold with multiple offers in two days! We were so impressed with Mary that we hired her to consult with us on the design of our new home. Within an hour of meeting at the new home we had colors selected for every room and a plan for the kitchen remodel. Mary worked closely with us to gain an understanding of our tastes, our lifestyle and our budget. She has gone above and beyond what we ever expected. She has worked with us on lighting, granite, flooring and will come back to suggest furniture placement. Mary also has numerous proven resources for any rehab that may need to be done. Mary is first class in her design, quickness and ease to work with. We highly recommend Mary. **Comment from Forsythe Home Styling:** > Alisa, Thank you for your review and confidence in my design work. I was thrilled for you with the quick sale of your house. And thrilled to assist with paint, lighting, and finishes for your new home. I'am looking forward to seeing it become a home you love and enjoy with your family. It's been my pleasure to work with you and your family. **★★★★★ — lesleyf4, Oct. 2014** > Mary helped us design the interior of the best room in the house...our new back porch. She was respectful of our taste but also added her professional suggestions that were needed and welcomed. > > After the decorating bug bit we had to retile the hall and add a kitchen backsplash. Mary helped with tile selections and color choices for the walls. She has a great color sense and sees subtle differences that I will never see. > > Thank you Mary for a job well done. **Comment from Forsythe Home Styling:** > Thank you for your kind commendations. It is always a pleasure to work you you and your husband. The porch is an amazing outdoor living space and so glad it is your favorite room of the house! **★★★★★ — Lisa Turk, Sept. 2014** > Invaluable to the design of our urban condo. She appreciates that we are downsizing and has incorporated beloved pieces with new and modern style. Very easy to work with. Never intimidating. An excellent sounding board for my husband's and my ideas but honest with her opinions.

Where may they be purchased? A: Hi. Thanks for your interest. This project was completed 5 years ago so not sure if they still have it available. It was porcelain that looked like travertine and from Italy. **Q: bathroom shower and floor tile** *(in Photo Questions)* this is a spectacular bathroom you have created! everything is crisp clean and classy. can you plz share name of floor and shower tile you chose ? A: Thank you Sandy for your kind words. My client wanted the look of travertine tile so we used this porcelain tile that looked like travertine. The tile was made in Italy. Unfortunately, I don't have the tile manufacturer name because I had computer problems after the project 5 years ago and lost files. The accent tile by the free standing tub is travertine. Porcelain tile has improved so much from 5 years ago, I know you can find something similar at your local tile store. **Q: what is the bathroom countertop** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the countertop? A: hI- thanks for asking - its Crema Marfil marble! **Q: i like the pendant lighting, where can I find it** *(in Photo Questions)* A: It's from Uttermost a wholesale company. You maybe able to order on Houzz or I can order it if you live in Nashville. **Q: Brent lhaven screened porch** *(in Photo Questions)* What are the dimensions of the Brenthaven screened porch? A: The porch is 20 ft 8 inches wide and 25 ft 6 1/2 inches deep. **Q: Help choosing 2 new light fixtures** *(in Design Dilemma)* We have been remodeling our great room and changing the color scheme to taupe grey. It's a contemporary house with craftsman touches. The current light fixtures don't complement the redo. They're too gold. Both lights can be seen at the same time. I found an entry light that I like with our full leaded glass door but it doesn't match with the one I'm looking at for the dining area. There is an entry light that is in the same group as the dining light but I worry it's too clunky for the entry. I know they don't have to match exactly but would these work? I'm attaching pics of the current lights. (i hope) Thank you for your help.\[https://www.houzz.com/products/4571kz-mondrian-semi-flush-mount-buckeye-bronze-copper-foil-bound-glass-prvw-vr~19891871\[(https://www.houzz.com/products/4571kz-mondrian-semi-flush-mount-buckeye-bronze-copper-foil-bound-glass-prvw-vr~19891871); \[https://www.houzz.com/products/bradley-semi-flush-prvw-vr~7478180\[(https://www.houzz.com/products/bradley-semi-flush-prvw-vr~7478180);\[https://www.houzz.com/products/art-deco-retro-3-light-down-lighting-chandelier-prvw-vr~11202921\[(https://www.houzz.com/products/art-deco-retro-3-light-down-lighting-chandelier-prvw-vr~11202921) A: Your home looks lovely - nice work! For the entry - you could hang a fixture so that it is no lower than the bottom of the transom. Send me the dimensions of your entry and I can guide you as too what size fixture you should get. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-03.*
