Report
Vanessa’s consultation was worth every dollar and more. She is extremely professional and prepared to assist. She didn’t waste any time and offered such great solutions for my design dilemma. She showed me different images of materials and furniture that would compliment my space. I highly recommend spending the money for an initial consultation. On top of it all, she’s such a lovely lady. I enjoyed my time with her!! Thank you Vanessa. I am super pumped to tackle my project now.
