**★★★★★ — Rosewood Custom Builders, Dec. 2014**

> I had the pleasure of building a home for a client who hired Marci Barnes for the interior design of their home in Dallas TX. I have only great things to say about the entire process! Marci Barnes is a true professional who brings life and passion to every detail. Throughout the process of construction, she was extremely responsive and provided intricate details that made the project flow very efficiently. I would absolutely recommend M Barnes & Co for anyone needing design guidance on their project. She is one of the best interior designers I have ever worked with.

## Selected projects

- [Velasco Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/velasco-residence-pj-vj~999243)
  - Location: Not specified

  - Description: This project was for a client moving into a new home. In the new house, her two boys, ages four and five, would share a room. The client wanted to create a fun, upbeat room that, most importantly, would last them for a long while. She did not want the typical store-bought look. So I was inspired to use fun, bold, preppy colors and geometric patterns to make this boys’ room both youthful and classic. Instead of the traditional bedside tables with table lamps, I used a large console table between…
- [Vintage Place Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vintage-place-residence-pj-vj~999263)
  - Location: Not specified

  - Description: This project was a marvelous traditional 1912 home renovation project in the Park Cities, including the expansion and complete redesign of the kitchen, breakfast, and family rooms. My goal was to design a warm and welcoming home for today’s family that is both highly functional and in keeping with the period and style of the home. The result is an airy and sublime space that brings an historic home to an entirely new level. I loved working on this project from start to finish.
- [Athens Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/athens-farmhouse-pj-vj~999270)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 22
  - Description: This farmhouse is a second home for an active family who enjoy the outdoors. The furnishings, finishes, and color palette combine to bring the outdoors in. Sturdy pine furniture and slipcovered upholstery create an informal, comfortable atmosphere that can stand up to the wear and tear of an active family. Floors of wide planked pine, salvaged brick, and stained concrete add texture and a rustic, indoor-outdoor sensibility. Soaring ceilings and lots of windows create an open, barnlike feel in th…

  - Description: This project is a Tudor cottage that has played host to some of Dallas’ most well-known residents. Herbert Marcus, father of Stanley Marcus, built this lovely East Dallas home in the 1920s. When new owners purchased it recently, it was in need of an overhaul after many unsuccessful renovations over time. The kitchen was redesigned for modern functionality while preserving the feel of a 1920s Tudor cottage. The kitchen was opened up to flow into the family room and includes the arched detail in t…

  - Description: This project was an amazing traditional existing home renovation project in the Park Cities, with a design concept of comfortable glamour. The project included the expansion and complete new addition of master bedroom and bath. The master bedroom is a retreat in which both husband and wife can relax. My goal was to design a dramatic, warm room with wonderful neutral grays, accented by whites and an unexpected pop of color. The white provides a crisp feel to the otherwise dark room, and the fuchs…
