"We sent her measurements and answered a series of questions regarding the design. After a couple of weeks, she sent back sketches of the room with her recommended layout and items. Overall, she was responsive and professional. It validated my wife's thinking. Her taste was fairly in line with what we were looking for - we didn't follow her recommendations exactly. Overall fairly happy with the experience.
