Ginny was extremely helpful. I trusted the people she lined up to do work in my home. We are very pleased with the finished product and will definitely work with her again when we are ready to do more remodeling/ updating of our home.
Description of Work: Ginny helped me choose paint colors, window treatments, and fabrics to update my new home. She had great ideas on inexpensive ways to freshen things up. She lined up painters, carpenters, plumbers and installers. All of the people she works with were professional and did quality work.

I think we both agreed that it was going to be a challenge to get the volume of work done within the budget. In a very productive session we were able to select a dozen or more wall and trim paint colors for future projects, and I was glad that this seemed helpful.
We didn't know where to start with decorating our new home. Ginny took everything we already owned and helped us arrange it (furniture, artwork, etc). She then helped us fill in the gaps with some new artwork, accessories, window treatments (curtains as well as 2" blinds) and paint colors for the walls. It looks BEAUTIFUL! It's so much better than anything I could have done and still for a very affordable price. I loved that Ginny worked with what we already had as a starting place. Some artwork and accessories I've had for years look amazingly better with Ginny's arrangement. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of some decorating assistance!
Description of Work: Selection of interior paint colors, some interior painting, ordered 2" blinds for windows, a couple custom window treatments, hanging existing and new artwork, help with arranging existing furniture, selection of new artwork and accessories
