I am happy you were able to find the solutions you were seeking. You are correct, my work is not technologically dependent. My work allows me to spend more time hands on with clients in their homes than on the internet. I do not use any pre-determined palettes. I choose colors from samples, usually Benjamin Moore, and take into account lighting, cabinetry, trim, and other finishes as well as the client's own personal furnishings and decor, likes and dislikes. My clients usually get around to saying, "WOW! I love your ideas. I would not have thought to do that... ", but our long distance relationship did not get you to that wow place and I apologize for that. I did work hard to review the numerous photos of your personal belongings, the various palettes you sent me from many different paint companies that showed some of your likes, the list of over 30 colors from multiple paint companies that you had used in the past or that you were familiar with, and made multiple visits to your home before you moved to Madison. Though you wanted me to tell you what you wanted to hear, I did have a contrary opinion about your putting a gray color on the walls where there was a chocolate carpet on the floor and greenish gold in the kitchen and throughout the home. Part of what I do is help people understand how colors work together so that we do not pick colors that clash or do nothing for the overall space. I always take time to listen and to understand what a homeowner wants or is comfortable with. I believe the long distance interaction did not work effectively for us. I work hands on face to face with my clients normally, but not always, but this time it did not work for either of us. I did call and offer to give some follow up design time at no charge once you came into town and that offer holds true to this day.Service Provider Response
It was truly a pleasure providing this service for you and your family. I find the best clients from Angie's List! It was especially fun to meet the challenge and get everything done well before the moving van came driving in and to do those few add-ons you requested within budget. Thank you for taking the time to write a review.Service Provider Response
I understand how the Member could be frustrated with costs as she shared her concerns with spending anything on her home because the home values in her area were decreasing and the neighborhood was deteriorating which I could see. She did, though, decide to seek my advise knowing exactly what my costs would be. I gave the Member everything she asked for and MORE at no additional charge. I gave her a wonderful color for her great room (she told me after painting that she absolutely loved it) along with advise on her window coverings and changes to her pillows to help the room seem new and warmer. The Member and her husband talked with me about some of the difficulties they had with their kitchen. I worked very hard to brainstorm with them on how they might be able to make modest changes to their kitchen and still stay on a tight budget such as painting their cabinets because the finish was in very poor condition. They both responded with many questions and a lot of interest as we spoke about the kitchen. During my visit, I knew that the Member had hoped to get a color for her bedroom before the new furniture arrived. They had decided to look further for a new bedspread that would enhance the new bedroom set. I suggested that I meet with the Member at a later date to find a color for her bedroom after she purchased her new bed coverings. I told her I would meet with her at no additional charge as I knew that the Member was on a very tight budget and hiring someone to help her was financially difficult at any cost. We met for 45 minutes at absolutely no charge and all went very well. The last she told me she was in the process of getting bids from some of the big box stores for some modest kitchen remodeling. I talked with her over the phone for an additional time about this at no charge. When I left the Member (after I gave her a free 45 minutes of my time) she seemed to be happy with the decisions we made. I went out of my way for the Member. I am disappointed to hear that the Member did not appreciate our time together and I honestly do not think there was anything more I could have done.Service Provider Response
