Get to Know Us
You absolutely nailed it! Now I’ve just got to walk through and look at everything again and again and again!
"We just walked into the house. I think I’m going to cry!"
I couldn't have done it without you two and we are thrilled beyond belief. I am also going to update my living room design with Allie's great suggestions, but that will be coming along slowly throughout the next year.
"Allie is amazing, you both are!"
Honestly, you exceeded my expectations in this area! It is very soothing to look at and the furniture is comfortable without looking like bulky, heavy furniture.
"As far as the space feeling relaxing, comfortable, and inviting—- you nailed it"
She maximized every bit of potential in our space.
She also made the process of choosing finishes easy and fun. And we undoubtedly ended up with many elements and details that I could’ve never envisioned myself. She anticipated questions or glitches and had the answers ready before we needed them and was easily available for any clarifications.
I’m so happy we decided to work with a designer, and I truly believe we chose the best one. Every time I walk through the front door, I think how beautiful and perfect for us our home is now. That’s priceless!
"Courtney came up with an absolutely brilliant design. It was beautiful as well as more functional and gave us some MUCH needed storage."
It is so very elegant and captures my style in a way I certainly didn’t have the ability to do on my own at all. We are so blown away and grateful! It was honestly hard to drive back to our other home. We plan to be there this weekend and we cannot wait to spend time there!
"The house literally took our breath away last night."
I am getting ready to host at it has been so fun getting ready with this functional, PRETTY space that has allowed us to use old, sentimental things that bring back sweet memories. Thank you for your amazing talents
"Your team really does make dreams come true!"
