Renovating a Seaside Carriage House

You’re a genius at what you do.

Thanks for all this amazing work. I can’t remember any time working with any designer in any field that I felt so in tune with their ideas. Either we have a lot in common, or you are incredibly intuitive about your clients (probably both!) And you did it so quickly. I had a lot of fun today and could not have tackled this job by myself.

Volunteering her time from start to finish, Marie immersed herself in our project as if she were building her own home. Balancing efficiency, economy and aesthetics, Marie listened to our needs, designed the best use of space, researched the highest quality materials for our non-profit budget, effectively communicated with all parties, met our tight deadlines and kept a good sense of humor. She supervised every detail, from the placement of outlets and lighting to the selection of colors and linens. She even organized a team of volunteers to solicit original artwork and furnishings making every room unique and pleasing. This emergency shelter for families made homeless due to domestic violence is a welcoming, nurturing and well organized home because of Marie’s passion, hard work and creativity. We could not have done it without her!

I have been in the new office for about a month. Working out great. The clients all love it. I have numerous artists in the building interested in hanging their work in the waiting room. Thank you for getting this off the ground and being so helpful.

This is very exciting—to finally have a big picture plan! Thank you so much for your help, creativity and design expertise. I knew I needed you for this project (for more reasons than one!) Now that we know where we are going we can work out a phased work plan and budget. I’ve been feeling like we were in the car but without a map!
— C.W, Rockport, MA
It was a pleasure meeting you. I appreciate your professionalism, creativity, and ability to transform the space into a versatile, creative place.
— S.M., Amesbury, MA
First of all, I just want to tell you how much (B) and I enjoyed working with you today. We already love the changes you suggested!
— A.L., Nahant, MA
I am a hero! Why? Because I recommended Marie to (A) and (B). They just love your ideas!
— T.H., Marblehead, MA
Thank you so much for all your help yesterday. I can’t believe how much we got accomplished. I’m so happy with the “activities room.” Everything looks amazing! I can’t wait to work on the project room next.
