PVM Designs

In 2014 I decided to convert our filthy junkroom of a single car garage to a studio where I could paint, quilt, and practice yoga. I needed a sink to clean brushes so it was also necessary to remodel a 1949 powder room to get access to water pipes. I called Patricia at PVM Designs in Media, Pa. Patricia came over to see the spaces and spent a fair amount of time talking to me about what I thought I wanted and needed. Within a week she returned to me with two floor plans, one for each room. We went over them and made a few changes. She then gave me a detailed proposal for what she would do and how much time she estimated she would need to do it. She was spot on with the time. She introduced me to a contractor she recommended to do the work who sat down with both of us to go over the job. He was wonderful throughout the building process, skilled, knowledgable, punctual, cleaned up everyday, and completed the job almost on time. Patricia came by often during the building process to review progress. When the tile supplier failed to deliver the tile Patricia immediately found a source for tile I liked even better than the original choice and got it delivered here so the contractor was not delayed. Patricia sourced cabinets in my price range that are of great quality. She took me to a stone supplier to choose the soapstone slab to be used for the studio countertops. During the construction process she helped me choose colors, lighting with the help of a lighting designer, floor for the studio after the first choice proved too expensive, and other details like cabinet knobs that would be easy to keep clean and look great. She responded to any problem that arose quickly and found solutions that worked perfectly. I have been using the new studio and powder room for eight months now. They suit my needs perfectly. The spaces reflect me in a stylish way I could never have put together on my own. I recommend PVM Designs wholeheartedly.

We recently completely renovated our condo, going for a lighter, brighter vibe from our previously more traditional (and gloomy) look. I was comfortable making kitchen/bathroom decisions, but was frankly fearful about tackling everything else (living & dining room, study, guest bedroom, LARGE master). All I knew is that I wanted white walls…..but lots of color, and a yellow sofa. Help. Then in stepped Patricia. She helped with EVERYTHING. Fabrics, window treatments, paint color, furniture selection, furniture repurposing, bedding, EVERYTHING – and we are thrilled with the result. Patricia works collaboratively, always providing choices, happy to run with your ideas, but not afraid to disagree. She has strong working relationships with top notch suppliers/workmen/craftsmen and gets the job done on schedule. She charges an hourly rate for her services, and gives you the benefit of any product designer discounts – an arrangement I prefer. If you are looking for design help you can’t go wrong with Patricia. She is a hands-on, creative professional and a joy to work with.

PVM Designs was hired to decorate our master bedroom, bathroom and sitting room using a combination of existing and new pieces. Patricia met with me to understand what I was looking for and VERY quickly completed a floor plan and presented concepts. She delivered options with a variety of fabrics and stayed on point thoughout the entire process. Patricia is great to work with. We are currently working on finishing touches and are very pleased with the space!

Patricia has helped us downsize from a large colonial single family house to a smaller arts and craft townhouse. She has figured out where most of our furniture will go, how to recover the upholstered pieces so that they look new and updated, and worked with our budget ...all while keeping a sense of humor. She moved the projects along despite my hectic schedule without being pushy. She has put colors and patterns together that I would never have thought of, with the end product being perfectly with my taste. She is patient about working through everything to get it just the way I like it!. She has been a pleasure to work with.

Patricia is so very talented! Her vision for our projects was spot on! She was not only helpful, but truly a pleasure to work with...experienced, professional, kind and very flexible. Having 4 small children at the time, Patricia was very accommodating and so kind! She was also able to leave me with ideas for future projects as our family transitioned. Patricia helped us transform our master bedroom and our in home office. We were completely satisfied and would definitely recommend PMV designs!

It was a pleasure working with Patricia of PVM Design. After years of living with a neutral decor, Patricia introduced us to both color and texture to warm our living space. Through the reuse and reorganization of existing furniture and the addition of a few key pieces, she updated our family room, breakfast room and living room.

As a custom workroom we pay great attention to detail. That is why we love working with Patricia of PVM Designs. For nearly 10 years we've helped bring to life some of her most creative designs. Her choice of luxurious fabrics has been an added pleasure. Many of her designs are reminiscent of Haute Couture fashions. One specific room comes to mind. A fitted embroidered bedspread with 1/2" pleats at the sides, complimented by a simple curtain with a matching pleat design at the hem, very "Haute Couture"!! She works very closely with us and knows she can pop in at any time during fabrication, for any tweaking before installation. Patricia wants perfection for her clients as do we. We find Patricia to be one of the finest designers in the area.

Patti has helped me design and decorate a large part of my home---major kitchen update/upgrade (appliances, cabinets, granite counters), updating and redecorating of family room, living room, dining room and bedrooms including window treatments and carpeting. She is creative, listens & adjusts to your style while also challenging you to look at at new ways. She also consistently stays on time and within budget. I highly recommend PMV Designs.

I have worked with PVM Designs on several projects on my home and have found them to most professional and creative. The first project was a minor one however it was treated as if it were a major one. The subsequent projects were more extensive and were managed equally as well. I found that all my concerns were addressed to my satisfaction. All the creative work was done on time and within the agreed budget. The sub-contractors she engaged were also very professional and efficient. I would be pleased to recommend them to the discriminating home owners.

PVM designed a master bath/closet/laundry area for us, managing to fit all those functions into chopped-up spaces in our 1920s house, beautifully. After figuring out how to allocate the space, they then walked us through the 1000s of choices of fixtures, flooring, etc. and narrowed it down to manageable decision-making for us, which saved us a world of agonizing over each choice. The design and build as completed is totally functional and looks great; no problems after 3 years, and it's a thrill every day to walk into such a beautiful space (even to do the laundry!)

Patricia helped me take my very outdated dining room, and took very boring to beautiful. She brought it to life with color choices that blended so well with the rest of my house, yet showed that "pizzazz" that really set it apart. She also helped me replace a few "tired" pieces of furniture in the living room. That was just the lift it needed, Patricia was a delight to work with, and I love what she did for my house.

Patricia is a consummate professional and a delight to work with. We have worked with her on seven rooms in the house and have been extremely satisfied with the results. She consulted with us to get a true sense of our tastes, vision and budget and she helped us realize our vision within our budget. She navigated the world of interior design for us and presented us with a few well-considered choices. In doing so she enabled us to make informed and elegant choices without having to do all the research and footwork required.
