When I moved to New Jersey, I was starting over and wanted the new start to be reflected in my home. I gave away nearly everything but treasured antiques from family. After interviewing two interior designers, both of whom who said my antiques 'had to go,' I was discouraged that I'd not find a professional interior designer who was talented enough to give me a modern look that incorporated my antique pieces. I was wrong. Proving that the third time is the charm, Holly arrived at my house and not only complimented the antique pieces from my grandparents and parents, she seemed to relish the challenge of combining them with my desire for a new, updated look. The other thing that sealed the deal for me was her approach. Before she looks at swatches, wallpaper or paint, she helped me figured out how to use my rooms and what furniture should go into them. Where did I want my home office? Where should the TV go? This first step helps with those decisions. Holly also encouraged me to set up a board on Pinterest and, eventually, share it with her. At first, the Pinterest idea seemed strange, but I started to see why it is important. For me, using Pinterest made me see I have a very distinct style. I'm not into neutrals; I love wallpaper; and I want my personal photos to be seen, and not hidden away in albums. I got everything I wanted.

I am so grateful for the outstanding work they did at my home, one that many people think belongs in a...
Read moreA most sincere Thank You, Holly, to you and your staff for all your effort in the redesign of my Study and Sunroom. I am MORE THAN DELIGHTED with the results! From our first meeting, you had an excellent sense of of my tastes and preferences, and you guided me accordingly. The fabrics that were presented to me were superbly and skillfully chosen, thus making the decision making process effortless. Moreover, the constant communication and support that I received throughout the process was invaluable. I especially appreciate the way in which you and your staff directed me to ideas and options that I would have never considered, but they led to choices with which I am thrilled.
Thank you especially, Holly, for your extraordinary efforts on my behalf with regard to the window treatment in the Study. I so appreciate the time and work that you put into an extremely complicated and exacting design, thus leading to a magnificent product. Moreover, your initiative in providing me with a whole new set of panels when it became impossible to correct the first ones is appreciated beyond what my words can express.
Again, my sincerest thanks for the creation and execution of two rooms that fit in beautifully with my home and enhance it tremendously. I am thoroughly...
Read moreMy wife and I did not have a good experience at all with Holly. We just were not on the same page. I wanted visual renderings throughout the project and did not receive them. Holly's measurements in the bathrooms were incorrect causing us to have to change the vanities after already ordering them. Now this was our first time renovating and using a designer, so we may have been a bit naive. But we just did not get at all...
