“It took over 18 months to complete my new beach home because I wanted the best builder and best interior designer. Interior design is Debbie at her finest. It didn’t take her long to “get” my sense of style. Within weeks she had narrowed down my thoughts to spot-on furniture books and fabric swatches for my review. Her professionalism was continually demonstrated while we selected levels of quality and workmanship for all the furniture, fabric, and accessories. There’s no pressure with Debbie to do things her way, but at the same time she will steer you away from any “Oh, my God, why did you let me choose that?” As much as she loves the design process, your complete satisfaction is her main goal and she will go the extra mile to achieve it. There aren’t enough words to convey how much I enjoyed working with Debbie on the total interior design of my entire beach home. She is prompt, courteous, and gives you the highest quality within your budget. Thanks to Debbie, our place in the Outer Banks is stylish and totally comfortable!”
