Vicki Ruff has a lot of experience with colors and her suggestions worked out very well for us, including Spanish Olive for the master bedroom, a golden mustard color for the foyer and hall, and Floral White for the trim. Working with an interior designer is a new experience for me and rather intimidating. I wasn't offended by any comments she had about my choice of furnishings, as I understand she is simply instructing me on what she'd do to improve a room. A designer like Vicki is invaluable for her ability to visualize how things will look (something I'm terrible at). Of course, I could choose to follow her suggestions or not. I thought a dramatic cider color for the dining room would be too dark, but it does help to have advice that's different from my usual pattern of thinking. I'm calling her again for advice on colors for two rooms that weren't painted, plus lamp selections, a new couch and a different arrangement for the living room.

we were interested in interior design and exterior design help with paint selection. we received a lot more. Vicki helped us understand our color palette through interpreting items in our home. She provided extremely useful info on furniture location and staged our family room to demonstrate her suggestions. IT WAS A DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT! She helped us think in a different way regarding flooring and window treatments in the room. Accessory suggestions for our foyer and her thoughts on television placement were excellent. We also received useful information on colors for our outside door and house trim. We are very pleased and will continue to use Vick

Vicki was asked to provide general guidance regarding the interior design of our new house. Our primary need for her assistance involved selecting tile, carpet, countertps, and paint colors. Over the course of 2 sessions she helped us clarify our ideas and make selections that complemented each other. We are extremely pleased with the results.

Vicki was very helpful in picking a palette to match the furniture and few accessories that I have. She is very good at choosing colors and making sure that they flow from room to room which is what a I most concerned with. She also gave me some tips on how to update my kitchen cabinets. I will be consulting her in the future for lamps, pictures and ideas on where to place them. Just need to finish painting first!

I never thought I could afford a designer until now. Vicki has a truly unique and helpful business model. She she met with me and my husband and reviewed our home and tastes. Then she supplied us with a fantastic list of items to furnish and decorate our home with. She has a great eye for color and picked out things I would never think of - it gave the look of our home an amazing transformation. She chose great furniture that worked with our budget and added color and character to our home. She went above and beyond for us when I had a party I was hosting at our place. She made the house look wonderful and took time out of her days off to help me prepare! Guests walking in said they needed a Vicki - I could not agree more! She is also fun to work with! I can't imagine what our house would have looked like without her!

Vicki was the best combination of and quot;direct but sensitiveand quot;, pointing out areas of improvement in color selection and room design while guiding me through the process of selecting colors. She heard our opinions, working with them without trying to change them.
When she left I had a general color palette for our first floor, with some specific paint colors chosen. It was amazing to me how quickly she was able to zero in on the colors that would work best, based on the items we already had in our house (rugs, artwork, fabric). I could not have done this on my own. It was money well spent.
After doing some initial painting based on her recommendations, I will call Vicki again to move onto next steps in painting, room design and decor, including fabric selection.

I really can't say enough about my experience with Vicki! She is amazing!!!
I just moved into a much bigger house, had NO furniture, came from a
house with ALL white walls, because I was too afraid to try any colors.
With my new house, I wanted to make it incredible. I saw a coupon for
Vicki's services, and decided to try the $50 for 2-hour consultation.
When I thought of interior decorators, I thought only rich people could
afford them. I decided to use my 2-hour time and get the most out of it.
More than 10 hours later with Vicki...it only cost me $50.
It's really simple, either pay her for her time, or get your furniture, or
services etc, where she suggests, and then THEY pay her. Too good to be
true???? Nope! Even better!
My house looks AMAZING. We went to the store picked out the colors and fabric that I liked, picked
furniture, she then came to the house and picked out the colors for my
walls to be painted, gave me the name of an incredible painter (Gary
Roessel). Even gave me a floor plan. Everything! She has a great eye
for color and style. Everytime anyone walks into my home, they always
say,and quot;WOW!and quot; I even ordered a library unit from her, I can't wait until
it comes in, she picked the perfect style and unit for my wall!
Vicki as a person to work with... she is very pleasant and friendly. Prompt
and courteous. She needs to know right off what you like and what your
budget is so she can accommodate your needs. The more details the
better with Vicki. It helps her to help you get that perfect home! She
is very easy to talk to, she didn't put down my colors or ideas, but
nicely pointed me in a better direction when my ideas got off track or
wouldn't work. For example, after all my paint colors were picked, I
told her I loved cherry wood furniture. She said that cherry wood has
red tints in it, and wouldn't look the best with my colors, but she will
help me choose different paint colors if that's what I wanted, or I
could choose more of a chocolate, espresso wood color. She was right on. I
kept my original paint colors, went espresso, and it looks perfect!
I would definitlely use Vicki again, and recommend her to everybody!

I contracted Vicki to do a complete evaluation of my home so I could finally have truly expert advice on what to do within my budget and still reach my goals. She spent 2 hours here and, after asking me the right questions, proceeded to go room by room and provide suggestions in detail. By the time she left my only regret was that I had not used her before.
Her expertise and professionalism were far more than I expected. Now I'm happily putting together my plans and will utilize Vicki's services for her ongoing suggestions and her professional connections to the right vendors to get everything done properly and at the right price.
