She was excellent at working within the constraints of the project to maximize decor (basement poles for example). She was very attuned to what I wanted but could make invaluable suggestions and tweeks to my plans based on her experience and greater ability to visualize things before they were actually done. She was professional and an excellent communcator. She offered a number of plans for her service and provided what was needed without pressuring me to purchase more than I wanted or could afford. Highly recommend. **★★★★★ — Mary Mclaughlin, Sept. 2016** > I was so overwhelmed with paint colors and had already tried 6 + sample paints. I called Creatively Yours Custom Inc and worked with Linda. She chose 3 perfect paint colors that went with what I already had and made suggestions on how to bring out the architectural features with the paint and now my house looks awesome! She gave me some ideas on furniture placement and colors for pillows and WOW what a difference, these small touches made major impact! She was a joy and made it so easy and beautiful! **★★★★★ — eldunlap, Sept. 2016** > Linda was a joy to work with. As a designer she has a point of view, but easily listens and adjusts to take into account the client's view. I worked with her extensively over the course of several months - a mix of high and low cost alternatives to create the perfect balanced and comfortable home for me. **★★★★★ — Amanda Setliff, Aug. 2016** > I moved into a new home in 2015 and needed some interior design help with several of the rooms. Linda Hunt conducted an in-depth interview with me to find out what ideas I already had, what likes and dislikes I had, and what I had in mind for a budget. She did a fantastic job walking me through the design process - great communication every step of the way, including sharing Pinterest boards! The folks she hired to do jobs like painting and wiring were professional and efficient, and she was always available if questions arose during their work at my home. The highlight of the entire process is a stained glass mermaid hanging over my mantle in the sunroom - gorgeous and unique, it was the perfect finishing touch for the plan we laid out at the beginning. I most assuredly recommend Linda Hunt and her company to others, and plan to engage her again myself for future projects. **★★★★★ — Mary Anne, Oct. 2015** > Linda is a very professional, knowledgeable, creative designer. She is also flexible and her designs include the personality of the homeowner. Her team seems very experienced in the support services required to make her quality designs become a reality. She met all deadlines and helped us stay within our budget. > The first time Linda visited our newly built home, it was full of boxes from our move. Unfazed, Linda set about helping us create a comfortable, attractive, unique home which reflects our personalities, and of which we are very proud. **★★★★★ — cprusinowsku957, Aug. 2015** > Linda knows her craft and she Listens to you instead of pushing her ideas on you. We built a new home, I wanted a totally different color scheme from our previous home and I had very specific ideas. Initially I was a bit leery of the colors chosen but actually it was more because I was moving out of my "comfort zone" of colors and the new colors became just what I had hoped. Linda helped us find color coordinating furniture to our floor and wall colors, where to place floating electrical outlets on our floor and finally window treatments that tied everything together. She was wonderful and I definitely will use her again when we do window treatments in our master bedroom. **Comment from Creatively Yours Custom Inc.:** > Thanks, Christine. It was so great to be a part of working with you on this house! It went from a cold shell in the winter to a warm inviting home for you and your family. I loved seeing that come about as a result of our working together toward the beautiful end result. **★★★★★ — JuanitaD2, Feb. 2015** > Hemmed and installed a double swag drapery. And installed rod and hung sheers. Both windows were 10' wide. Work was done very efficiently. **Comment from Creatively Yours Custom Inc.:** > Thanks so much Juanita. I enjoyed working with you and your husband. I hope you enjoy many happy times in your new space! **★★★★★ — pamm0, Sept. 2014** > Linda was very professional and knowledgeable. After talking with her on the phone, she arrived with the exact colors of fabric I needed. She knew what style I did not want and we worked together to come up with a style for some window treatments for 4 fairly narrow windows in our Great Room. Could not be more pleased. They are just beautiful and made such a difference in our home. Thanks again Linda! **Comment from Creatively Yours Custom Inc.:** > It was my pleasure, Pam. I enjoyed both you and your husband. Your happiness is my goal! **★★★★★ — Inspired Closets Central Virginia, Aug. 2014** > Linda is a true professional. I've had the pleasure get to know her professionally and to work on some of her projects. She's a master of her craft yet takes the time to learn about her customers and their needs/wants. I highly recommend Linda! > > Steve Dash **Comment from Creatively Yours Custom Inc.:** > Thank you Steve. It is a pleasure to work with you also. You set your standards high and I appreciate that for my clients. **★★★★★ — Barden's Decorating, Inc., July 2014** > Creatively Yours Custom, Inc. is great to work with! Linda is organized, great with her clients and innovative with her creative vision. We love being a member of her professional team! > > Muffy & Tommy Barden > Barden's Decorating, Inc. **Comment from Creatively Yours Custom Inc.:** > Thanks Muffy and Tommy. I know I can always trust in your high quality standards for my clients. That is so important to me. I can always count on you two! **★★★★★ — phylanddill, June 2014** > Creatively Yours Custom, Inc. made my bedroom more user friendly. I was waking up to more light than I cared to see. Linda came to my house, assessed the situation, and recommended shades that work beautifully. My husband and I are very pleased. **Comment from Creatively Yours Custom Inc.:** > Thank you Phyllis. You and your husband are a delight to work with. I am glad to have solved your problem! **★★★★★ — babann, Feb. 2014** > When you walk into my living room and dining room, you will go WOW, thanks to Linda. I found Creatively Yours Custom on the internet, called the number and talked to Linda about what I wanted. She arrived on time for our first consultation. We chatted again briefly and she began to work her magic. She rearranged many of the items I already had in my home. She made suggestions for other items that I had indicated I was willing to replace or purchase. Most of all she was personable, professional, and attentive to my concerns. Finally, she summarized all the things we had talked about and sent me a written copy I can refer to. I am VERY pleased with the decorating Linda did for me and referred her to a friend. I will use her again. **Comment from Creatively Yours Custom Inc.:** > Thank you so much Barbara. I really enjoyed helping you with your redesign. Your rooms had great bones for creating a great space for you. You and your mother are delightful- please call on me for all your future design needs! ## Selected projects - [Decorating and Design Ideas with pizzazz for First Floor Living Area](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/decorating-and-design-ideas-with-pizzazz-for-first-floor-living-area-pj-vj~1566550) - Location: Short Pump, VA - Photos: 17 - Description: My client wanted the foyer to be more elegant, the family room to be brighter with lots of seating and sun room to have a more nautical appearance - [Make Over Of A Dark Paneled Family Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/make-over-of-a-dark-paneled-family-room-pj-vj~584075) - Location: Mechanicsville, VA - Photos: 7 - Description: Many of us are stuck with dated and paneled family rooms.

I was thinking blackout cellular with a valance or cornice, but wondering if I should just go with roman shades. The others might be too much. I'd have room for probably a 12in. cornice for example. And as a second reques, would appreciate any ideas on what to do with the corner where the table is! Thank you A: When I do top treatments for clients, I often start them at the ceiling. I can't tell from your photo but is that the 12 inches you are referring to? If so, 12 inches for a top treatment would not look good. Romans introduce the feel of fabric to the room in a neat package that does not overpower the windows or the room. They can have banding accents added for a really cool look. **Q: Powder room redesign** *(in Design Dilemma)* Need some advise on this small bathroom under the stairs. It is dark so planning on repainting the walls a light gray. Floors are Brazilian walnut so thinking that the light walls will be a nice contrast with the dark floors. thinking I need to change the picture over the toilet to have more length. What do you think of the fixtures? I was thinking of swapping them out but not sure what else would work. Any other insight would be appreciated as well. would like the powder room to have a little more character. A: Does the vanity/mirror go all the way into the corner? If not, I definitely would get that area wired to put a small light on both sides of the mirror over the vanity. Or even wire an overhead light for the vanity area. That should be enough lighting for the whole powder room without changing the wall color if you want to keep it. **Q: Window treatment for window seat** *(in Design Dilemma)* Large window in family room with a window seat. Although it's not a true window seat... probably too small. My question.... can I put panels? What would be my other options. I like the blinds but feels unfinished. Thank you. A: You definitely need some fabric/curtains for that window area. It will warm up the area and frame the view for you. I would perhaps do some romans as a top treatment only. The window is a feature in the room and I would not want too much fabric in the form of panel curtains inside of it. I would also put something like a narrow table runner on the sill there in a nice color with maybe a few decorative vases etc. **Q: How would you update this kitchen?** *(in Design Dilemma)* Will definitely be repainting wall; paint color ideas are more than welcome! Countertops are staying (black granite which we love). Ditto for sink, also black and also staying because we love it. We were considering painting the cabinetry white... but torn right now as these are solid wood cabinets that seem pretty well made; just look dated. Any thoughts/ideas/opinions appreciated. :) This is the kitchen nook that's barely visible to the right on the pic above, shows the current wall color better (keep in mind none of the rugs/table/chairs are being kept)... A: Hi- I will just add some thoughts here. I would change the can light over the island to a pendant style for sure. My other thought would be to change the door fronts of some of the smaller upper cabinets to a glass front- or have the current ones modified for glass. Then maybe add some lighting inside the glass front cabinets. How about some contemporary or transitional area rugs/runners for the kitchen to offer some separation from the wood in the cabinets and the wood on the floor? Perhaps a long runner between the sink and the island? **Q: Fireplace remodel** *(in Design Dilemma)* I want to reface my fireplace to a more modern look can I use the peel stick 3D panels? A: I could offer more suggestions with a picture. If you have a brick fireplace, consider having a decorative painter come and do a faux finish on it for a whole new look. A more expensive alternative would be to cover the face with a stone veneer and maybe a new slate or granite for the hearth. **Q: Den Delimma** *(in Design Dilemma)* We've lived here for 10 years and have tried different variations of this room. It is an open area off the kitchen and has an alcove with a fireplace next to it on the same wall. I like areas balanced and each time I walk in the room, I cringe!! A: Hi- Can you take a few more pictures of the room and the rest of the furniture? Also from back a little further so I can see all that you have in there now? Thanks. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-11-10.*
