We have just finished our third house project with the Frugal Decorator and as with the first two, it turned out beautifully! We really relied on them to pull our house project together with their design expertise, and make many recommendations while still listening to our preferences. The staff's experience allows them to think of all the details needed (which we would never have been able to do on our own) so that the final look come together to look gorgeous. The designers are friendly and very accommodating - we would highly recommend their services in every way.
