She has a fantastic eye for what looks amazing. She helps you re-purpose items from your home to other areas to make it look fresh and new, and provides awesome suggestions on where to find affordable items to add to your design. My first floor has never looked this good and I could not be happier with how it all turned out. Ruth has reignited my love for my home and inspired me to make changes in other rooms. If you don't at least give her a call or have her take a look at your space and give you suggestions, you are the one who is missing out. **★★★★★ — chaser49, Feb. 2016** > Ruth has such a passion for decorating and really helps you work within your budget. So much so that she can take your own things, such as your pillows and put new fabric on them, spray paint picture frames, add things to it- changes the whole look of it. She just has that creative eye to look at a room, move things around, add new items by shopping within your budget and using your own items. She transformed my living room just by doing this and it is so much more cozier than before. > She is fun, imaginative, and very excited to help because she loves decorating! > Highly recommend!! **★★★★★ — ccampbel, May 2015** > If you find decorating your spaces overwhelming and costs out of reach, Curtain Call is for you. Ruth works within your budget...and when I say budget, she has transformed rooms for less than $400.00. She has a vision; either seeing what you have and how to tweak it, or shopping local second hand shops for exactly the right piece in the right place. She is passionate and loves what she does. There can be no better combination. She LISTENS to you and puts her personal opinion aside. It's about creating what you want and she is very collaborative in her approach. **★★★★★ — onenonly2, May 2015** > Ruth is the amazing, vibrant and intelligent. You like her as soon as you meet her. You feel like you have known her forever. She has taken my living room from nothing to fabulous. She is very budget conscience and respects her clients opinions. She has a true "feel" for a room and what to do with it. > > Ruth will go out of her way to help you find what will look best at the right > price. I am so happy with Ruth and her talents and would reccomment her > to anyone. **★★★★★ — Shannon Huff-Butt, April 2015** > Ruth redesigned my small bathroom off of the master bedroom. She utilized the items that were currently in my bathroom, but transformed these items using paint and replaced pictures in the frames I currently had. With the use of mirrors, the bathroom now looks larger than it really is. The paint scheme she used not only made the room look more elegant but more roomy. This is my second favorite room in my house. > > She also redesigned my bedroom. She refinished furniture I already had by replacing fabric, replacing drawer handles, staining and putting mirrors on the front of the side dresser, giving these items a modern look. She was great at utilizing the space in my bedroom, now I have a reading area and desk. She replaced the drapes with ones that brighten the room and accented the decor. By replacing the headboard with a fabric one, she provided a focal point in the room, which I did not have prior to this change. The biggest change that tied everything together was replacing the ceiling fan with a chandelier that she found on sale. She used the same color scheme in the bedroom as the bathroom giving this room the same elegance as the bathroom. This is my favorite room in the house. > > Ruth has an ability to transform a room, using the current items in the room. She definitely has an eye for decorating even down to the smallest item in the room. I highly recommend her! **★★★★★ — gamfmb, March 2015** > Most creative economical, designer I have used. Ruth turned my bedroom into a place I can go to relax, and unwind. My room is now my sanctuary. I can enjoy a beautiful place in my home for reflection. Ruth was professional yet personable. My bedroom was transformed from drab to Fab within a budget that I could afford. I'm truly satisfied. ## Selected projects - [Parkton Family Room Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/parkton-family-room-makeover-pj-vj~2795145) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - Description: Before photo...this family room was in need of an update...the leather sectional was too big for the space....the room was not inviting and felt cramped...and the beauty of this project ... most of the room's furniture was donated to a family in need. - [Kitchen Make over](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-make-over-pj-vj~1614320) - Location: Parkton, MD - Photos: 6 - Description: This is my kitchen...I waited a very long time for this makeover and it was well worth the wait.
