A true joy to work with. **★★★★★ — palloyd94, May 2015** > Hired to furnish a condominium in Sea Island , Ga. and to refresh the unit several years later.

She is a fantastic designer--a true professional with a wonderful aesthetic who can also look at the practical side of things and help one make an informed decision based not only on appearance but also on durability and value.

I would love to talk to you about your project please feel free to give me a call. Sincerely, Susan **Q: beatiful project! congratulations!** *(in Photo Questions)* Could you please let us know the height of the roof and ceiling? Also the height of the bunk bed, please?
