Carol truly is the design therapist. She completely redesigned our house, making the most beautiful selections, and she made it so easy and enjoyable. She is the consummate professional; extremely skilled, responsive and simply a pleasure with whom to work. I can’t recommend her highly enough and, in fact, she’ll be designing our next house out of state!
I cant say enough great things about Carol. She truly is The Decorating Therapist. It was such a relief to say to her, I need help, please fix this! And she did... She walked into my 1920s row house and within hours we had a plan that incorporated my taste and vision (art deco/mid-century modern) and my budget. Shes THE BEST at picking paint colors - she was able to look at the space and choose a color palette that tied the whole place together for a clean but dramatic look. Something I never could have accomplished myself. We had such fun incorporating some of my pieces and scouting out new things (again that worked with my budget) that will make my living room, dining room, and kitchen the envy of the block. I cant wait to continue the process with Carol. 5 stars for this amazing professional!
Carol is easy to work with.She was a valuable and patient ally in coordinating household moves for our family’s unique needsWorked hard to keep furnishing prices down. Making good use of consignment shops for buying “like new” cabinetry and non-upholstered furniture. Classy and economical.Worked closely with our builder in assuring that the options we chose were well coordinated, and changes were minimized and that we were getting good value for our money.Developed an excellent color scheme when it came time to paint.
Carol, Thanks again for your excellent assistance over the years!!!! You are always available when we or our clients need you on short notice for staging, selecting paint schemes and/or decorating. We are personally grateful for your expertise in helping us make decisions on what to take, donate or consign for downsizing from our 5100 to 3600 square foot home. You were hands-on working with the realtor, movers, and organizers during our relocation. You are truly one of a kind!
Weve worked with Carol for years now, on projects large & small across multiple homes. Shes creative, inventive, and absolutely passionate about her profession, but able to keep an eye on how design will actually function in real life. Shes also great to bounce ideas off of, listens to client wishes/issues/preferences, and is expert at envisioning how color and pattern will come together into a cohesive whole. She knows sources & vendors for just about everything, and has gone to bat for us in interfacing with subcontractors in order to get the job done.

I found this incredible designer. We talked, negotated my thoughts, and came up with a planWell i have a custom designer kitchen. We remodeled the basement and 1st floor alsoCarol, understood my delema, she guided my selections beautifully. I always felt like I was in total control. My house is amazing now. And my new kitchen.

Oh, and yes, your love and friendship in guiding me thru this adventure. I was so lost, and Carol, you resqued me.
WOW, she did it again. I had Carol help me decorate my upstairs several years ago. I wasnt sure what I wanted. Carol and I discussed several ideas. I was insecure about my abilities. Carol took me shopping for kitchen counter tops. We went to 3 places, so many choices. The end result was my beautiful upstairs and even better, my confidence Had grown.Our house was so beautiful that the Baltimore Sun did an article with many pictures of our beautiful rooms.My next project just finished. This time the basement. It too is wonderful, cozy and beautiful. Sorry this is so long. Working and learning from Carol is a pleasure.Do not hesitate to call on the Decorating Therapist and the talented Carol.
Thank you Carol for helping us transform our home. Your input was invaluable in helping us avoid costly mistakes during our home construction process. You were also invaluable in helping us mix both the old and the new when we redecorated. You always had the best ideas and helped us manage an overwhelming task.
Carol did an amazing with my house. She helped me decorate and configure the furniture to when I first moved in. Made it feel like home. Pleasure to work with.
Carol is creative, and original, but able to understand your personal taste and needs. She worked on window treatments in our home in Eldersburg, then assisted with room arrangements at our home in Columbia, and also consulted on the design for our current home in Delaware. I love working with her!
So easy to work with!! Loved that she combined the best in current styles with my taste and budget. So many compliments on my new master bath!
I have worked with Carol extensively over the last six years. She learned what my taste was, then created beautiful spaces for me. She has such an eye for design; I cannot begin to estimate the hours and dollars she has saved me through the years!Carol was first introduced to me when I was doing a major renovation and addition on my home. She was there every step of the way, helping with kitchen layout, bathroom design, paint colors and style, etc. She even made suggestions in the stud phase of the construction that would improve the end-product dramatically.Once the construction was complete, she did all of the decorating, starting with what I already owned and wanted to keep, then built from there. I like to move slowly on the process so I can see how each step looks before moving onto the next. She was very patient with me, and met my timeframe. When I let the ball drop, she was there to check in with me without ever pressuring.I have since moved to a new, much smaller space. Carol was my first call. I wanted to try something new, so she worked with me creating that new feel. She did all of my decorating again, and this time also helped me choose frames and matting for a number of art pieces, then hung them all for me in tasteful groupings. She also gave me advice on which plants would serve my new space the best. My timeframe was much quicker this time, and she was incredibly flexible with her schedule to meet my timelines.Carol has a wealth of knowledge and experience in all things related to the home. She does an amazing job working with the homeowner’s style, budget and timeframe. I highly recommend her!
