Knowing that I was in over my head with decorating our new house, my mom surprised me by enlisting Susan's help. We recently moved from a 2-bedroom apartment and while we knew the house had a lot of potential, its tough to wrap your arms around how to fill the space and make it your own!
We had a 2-hour session with Susan and she went right down to work. Right off the bat, she had excellent ideas for room definitions and set-up that we implemented right away. She was full of tips on where to go for certain kinds of furniture, rugs, paint, etc. She was attentive the entire time and you can tell that she adapts to the homeowners' style, rather than try to force her preferences. She was very respectful the entire time and had a good balance of listening and giving advice. I really wanted her help to find good color combinations for painting the rooms and Susan was so helpful. She advised us to take our time selecting the colors once we've gone through all 4 seasons in the house, so that's what we'll do even if I'm pretty sure we'll stick very close to what we selected together.
Susan, thank you for your help! We're still taking it bit by bit, but if I need more help you will be the first person I call. We're currently getting some ceiling spotlights installed in our dining room for extra (badly needed!) lighting and I found a chandelier I loved. You would like the added lights :)
