She is smart, efficient, and resourceful. Thanks to her work, our kitchen and powder renovation looks pulled together, is unique, and didn't go over budget. Additionally, working with Desiree saved me so much time as she is able to narrow down endless choices (wallpaper, paint colors, hardware, decor items) to just a few options. ### All 8 reviews **★★★★★ — Elizabeth Pereira, April 2022** > I own a medical spa in Providence and Desiree designedd the space for me.
