Penelope Daborn Ltd.

I have worked with Penny Daborn for over 10 years creating beautiful and functional upholstered furniture. She is great to work with and has very good design ideas.

It's important to have good chemistry with your interior design person and Penny was perfect for us in that respect. She listened, observed our surroundings and did an excellent job of finding fabrics that were perfect for us. And we enjoyed working with her. We had also worked with her in previous years and knew we would be satisfied working with her again.

We had a chance to meet with Penelope and she was great. She comes across as very easy to work with and confident in her skills. She was very open to our ideas as well as making some great suggestions on how to improve on our ideas.

Penelope Daborn and her staff have earned my highest recommendation. I first used Penny approximately 10 years ago, when I repainted and reupholstered almost the entire 1st floor of my house. Recently, I contacted her again to update some other furnishings. One of Penny's most important qualities is that her suggestions "stand the test of time." The colors and fabrics she suggested 10 years ago remain as lovely as ever. Also, I appreciate that she never pressures me to make a change we're not ready to make, and she makes me feel comfortable with whatever we decide. In addition, her recommendations span a wide price range, allowing a client to easily stay within budget. Finally, Penny, her assistant, and every installer I have met, all exhibit the highest level of professionalism, timeliness, and reliability.

A terrific designer! We have had the good fortune to work with Penelope Daborn on many very interesting projects. Some smaller in scale and several very large and complicated. She has a natural knack for advancing beautiful aesthetic design while juggling the multitude of contractors required to complete the work. If you’ve spent any time in the business of renovation you know how critical this pairing is. If you are considering redoing a simple sitting room or are trying to tie together a larger theme in your home or even cooperate office space I would highly recommend Ms Daborn’s design and project management services. She’s great! I have also seen her recent interior design work on a classic motor yacht visiting Maine from the southern seas which we were also involved and the result was just terrific. Yes consider Penelope Daborn! And…Good luck on your project! Tim Hill President Tim Hill Fine Woodworking Gorham, Maine 04038

Helped on interior design and decor of a newly built house. Included layouts and selection of furniture, fabrics, paint color and window coverings. Was great to work with. Penny was very flexible and accommodating. She always listened to what I liked, but was able to direct me (in a nice way) to considering something I had not thought about. She also provided lots of creative ideas and choices.

Penelope Daborn Ltd. is a wonderful company to do business with. We have worked with Penelope throughout this year. In working with her, it's clear that making her clients happy and selecting beautiful pieces is top priority. We highly recommend Penelope Daborn Ltd.! Bellacor Professional 1-800-688-7039

It has been a pleasure working with Penny. Our project included fully furnishing a new home from drapes and window treatments to furniture, rugs and bedding. Penny has a wonderful eye for color and she successfully recommended paint color choices which are complimented every time someone comes to visit our home. We are so happy with the results and love the way our house looks and feels. Penny and her team were great to work with.

Penelope Daborn Ltd has assisted my husband and me on nearly every aspect of interior and lighting design for our new home. Her eye for simplistic elegance is absolutely the best. As a result, we have a beautiful home that has become our sanctuary of peacefulness and happiness. Penny is a very intuitive and compassionate individual. This was extremely helpful in the overwhelming amount of decisions that were required when building a new home. She worked within our budget and would make suggestions as to what needed to be done to make an impact and what could wait. We have hired Penny to do three projects for us. Most recently an office renovation that completely transformed the reception area of our business. The finished product on all projects is a testament to her talent.

We have worked with Penelope Daborn Ltd. on several occasions. We are always pleased with the results. Penny has helped in choosing colors, fabrics and drapes. We recently built a new porch and we had seen a sofa we liked in a magazine. Penny helped to design the piece to be built. In addition she helped with the spatial arrangement of the room, the selection of fabric and window coverings and additional furnishings. We originally worked with Penelope Daborn Ltd. 7 years ago when we moved to a new house. We always come back for her expert eye, wealth of knowledge and the top notch coordination in making the arrangements for acquiring what we need.
