**★★★★★ — Cheryl Quick, May 2016**

> I worked with Susan Fefferman when re-modeling my condo last year.  Everything she designed is beautiful.  She is a joy to work with.  Her skills are impeccable and her knowledge diverse. I'm not an easy person to work with, as I have OCD, and she was thoughtful and always patient when I had concerns.  The end result is perfection.

**★★★★★ — PFR Construction, May 2015**

> Can not say enough good things about Susan from Harmonious Surroundings.  Susan helped us remedy more than few issues in our office space, from the very first interaction the whole project was handled in a professional timely manner. She took time to get to know our business and our particular needs. Susan carefully  lays out a road map to get the energy in your space flowing to create a more healthy productive environment.  We work with HS every year to ensure our team is always positioned to be successful. Highly recommend Harmonious Surroundings!

> Susan Fefferman has a gift for interior design combined with solid knowledge and intuitive skill in Feng Shui. She quickly assessed my entire home in terms of Feng Shui needs, provided me with a clear map and suggestions for all areas, and even recommended where to buy the items I needed within my budget. Susan is very professional, easy to work with, and very creative. She truly has a passion for her work, which makes her very fun to be around. I highly recommend her!

**★★★★★ — panewcomer, Feb. 2015**

> I wanted to change an uninviting home office into a place that welcomed me but was baffled about how to accomplish this. A friend recommended the professional designer Susan. Susan took on the job to change this room. She has energy, design skills, and experience. When needed during the process, she recommended skilled painters and carpenters, whose work was exemplary. The room became transformed from baseboards to crown molding, fresh paint color, window treatment, carpet, art work, plants, and furniture. After Susan's guidance and persistence, I'm reveling in this beautiful, peaceful home office.

> Susan, Susan Susan! She was the best and Harmonious Surroundings is the perfect company to have do your next interior design project!
>
> We had a full remodel of our 1,100 sq ft. condo in Pacific Beach, CA. Our place was literally gutted and she made a masterpiece out of it. Everything was done on time, she easy to work with, and she made the whole process actually fun. I couldn't have asked for more in an interior designer/project manger.

## Community Q&A

**Q: colors** *(in Photo Questions)*

hello I'm looking for the art design that is on the wall. I'm constructing by bathroom and want to go with a similar color scheme. please let me know where that art work is from.

A: I bought it at Bed, Bath & Beyond about 4 years ago. They probably don't have that one but lots of others in that color scheme. I also buy art at Pier 1 and World Market.
