**★★★★★ — torigreene, Dec. 2012**

> Marie is a remarkably gifted interior designer. Not only did she help me decorate my home, she brought architectural ideas as I worked with the building contractor. She studied my personality as well as listened to my views. She was very respectful of my concerns. I found Marie resourceful in introducing me to new ideas. She gave me courage to step outside my comfort zone. She walked me through uneasy situations and opened me up to new suggestions.   I was especially appreciative of the designs she brought with visual displays and several options. Marie was very generous with her time, being patient with me as we sifted through the creative process. As a result, I felt I grew through this experience. She melded my personal taste with her creative flair, bringing together something way beyond my vision. Consequently, the end result was stunning.
