Introduction

Hire me if you want honest and professional answers to your design and remodeling plans. I will listen to your personal needs and wishes, pull on my 35 years of home interior design, carpentry, general contracting, vendor relationships, and project managing to bring your job to fruition. We can start with 2 hours for minor color and design consulting and move toward a volume discount for 10 hours on larger projects like kitchen or bathroom remodels. I am semi-retired, but I enjoy being of service. I find giving, a-few-customers-a-month the best of what I have to offer, very rewarding. Let's talk about your projects for 15-20 minutes, set up a two hour appointment, and see where it can take us.

Mary is a godsend! I could not have done my kitchen and bathroom remodeling project without her. Mary is very knowledgeable about the entire remodeling process from start to finish. She really tunes in to what I want and goes the extra mile to get the details right. She has excellent communication skills, and it is a pleasure working with her. I highly recommend Mary and ColorScapes Design!

Mary was great at working with me in the back-and-forth process of developing my vague ideas into specific designs, and then managing all of the work. We completely redid a guest full bath and then a 50-year old master bath. And new basement stairs and flooring. Not to mention exterior and interior painting and more. I really enjoy my new old house.

Working on the design/ general contracting of Karl's home renovation was a pleasurable and satisfying experience for my company. Karl had design opinions, but articulated his needs well, and then trusted me to design to meet his needs. The project was a success in every room of the house. Two full bathrooms, color, furniture, and accessories throughout, hanging his art, re-building his basement stairs to be safer on descent, a full basement remodel, exterior painting and composite deck work, blinds and lots more. Thanks, Karl.

Tracy has been excellent at helping us work through our project's concept and potential needs. She quickly saved us the cost of her fee in project costs making hiring her worth every penny.

We are relatively new homeowners who consulted Mary for design advice for our living room. She offered helpful ideas for layout, lighting, and where we might look to find affordable furniture. After our initial 2-hour consult, Mary continued to help us look for pieces and to offer suggestions.

ColorScapes LLC's reply

Krista, Noah and I had a successful first meeting where we moved furniture around, created a vision for two walls to be built to solve organization issues, solved lighting issues, and more. We accomplished a lot. As I had indicated to Krista before meeting, it is not possible to choose actual furniture in this initial meeting given these other issues which needed to be solved. Deciding on exact pieces to purchase usually takes shopping online or visiting local venues. I am looking forward to helping with this in the future within a second meeting or online search together. Great couple and great home, but their expectations on what could be accomplished in two hours was not realistic and resulted in my getting a 4 star instead of a 5 star.

Just fantastic! We hit it off immediately, which helps if you are working alongside someone in your own home. Mary can also size up situations quickly and keep the project moving. I very much look forward to completing my work with her!
