Diane was a great find. We were looking for some special wall painting for the fireplace surround to highlight an ornate and beautiful fireplace we had inherited. We had already done granite but instead of looking classy it competed with the fireplace itself looking busy and ugly. After we got that pulled off, our decorator recommended Diane who arrived with large samples of various designs and in various colors/surfaces and helped us pick out one and tailor it so that would compliment instead of compete with what we wanted to highlight.The results were just what we were looking for..... Subtle Layered textures that also brought out the other colors in the room! She is great at communicating, suggesting, listening, so easy to work with and professional! Call early. She has a long waiting list!

I have worked with Diane on several design and staging projects, and what a talent! She is an expert on color and design. The first project was matching some rather complicated faux designs in several bathrooms. Not only did she blend the design and colors perfectly, but she did the job very quickly and fairly priced.
From that project I "trapped" her under a ceiling, at a client's request to do a pretty large stencil job with multiple layers of metallic paint. Another project was painting and glazing a large table to match some chairs, that I had picked up at Restoration Hardware and the client wanted them to match perfectly. No problem for Diane! She did such an extraordinary job you would swear the two pieces had been purchased together. Recently we did work on a master bedroom. She helped me find the right finish by showing the client and myself various samples and then creating a sample board for the client that matched the fabrics chosen. Her work completed the overall look of the room. Diane just completed a divine set of headboards for me to showcase in a model home that I am currently staging. They look amazing! Diane is always so fabulous to work with: listening carefully, making sample sketches, checking in to make sure that we were on the same page in terms of style and subject matter, and keeping me updated on price as the project evolves. Not only is she an incredibly talented artist she constantly produces a result that I couldn't be more thrilled with, on every project she is also a pleasure to with. I recommend her highly!

I loved working with Diane. She was flexible with meeting times and always positive....she even came to my work to meet with me! She creatively brought our personalities to life in our new home. Our son had stripes put on his bedroom wall and he loved them, hugged the wall the first time he saw them! My husband is a Syracuse fan and loves lacrosse, Diane created an outstanding mural for him incorporating both. Lastly, I wanted a fun laundry room and that's what I got complete with translucent bubbles!
I thoroughly enjoyed working with her and watching her creativity at work. She was a fast friend and I am looking forward to having her do more in our home.

When I contacted Diane, I originally wanted her to do a decorative ceiling design. After meeting with her and discussing several ideas we came up with a plan not only for my ceiling but the walls as well. Along the way Diane sent me samples to view to make sure I was happy with her what her plan was. The process took four days to complete. Each day Diane and her assistant showed up they were prompt and when they left they cleaned up their mess and made the area as useable as possible while still working. The finished product is amazing and so beautiful! I would definitely contact Diane again for other projects.

Diane came to my home to discuss painting my powder room and foyer columns. I had no idea what direction I wanted to go in and Diane came prepared with so many amazing ideas. Not only did she have fantastic ideas, but she had example boards for me so I could see exactly how these finishes would look on my wall. We decided on a finish with a stencil and I couldn't have been happier when the job was done. It way surpassed my expectations. I absolutely love how it turned out. She is a gifted, talented artist and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to have any sort of decorative painting done in their home or business.

Diane is a consummate professional and does fantastic work. She has done many projects in my last two houses and I highly recommend her. I found her to be very creative and professional and extremely neat in her work. Along with painting she also touched up several of my decorative items that had chipped in my last move. It is impossible to tell where she fixed the items and where the original damage appeared.
I highly recommend Diane and I know you will be ecstatic over her work.

Due to the curved walls in my daughter's bathroom, wallpaper was going to be impossible. Diane took a wallpaper sample, created a paint template that was similar, then applied her paint magic to walls and ceiling! It is amazing. Beautifully done.

Diane is such a joy to work with and she's also incredibly talented as well! I have hired her on several challenging projects that have required extremely steady hands in order to create razor thin stripes or elaborate stencils. Despite the challenges I hand her, Diane always has a smile on her face and a can do attitude. Every project I've witnessed her produce has turned out beautifully and I look forward to working with her on many more projects in the future.
