We built our home in 1986, and from then until 2006, we had made only minor improvements. In 2007, we undertook major renovations to convert our formal living room and den into a large great room, to give our kitchen a modern facelift, and to update our dining room and bathrooms. We knew we could not achieve the look we wanted on our own but also had some reservations about working with a designer. Valerie Garrett, Associate ASID was referred to us by our contractor and we were soon off and running.
We found Valerie easy to work with to complete our renovations. We were so happy and pleased with the results that, in years since, we have called on Valerie to update three of our bedrooms and are now updating our family room. Valerie’s designs are built around the function of the room and make it warm and inviting. Our friends have commented on how each room complements another through the flow of color and design. They have also said the interior of our home looks like something out of a magazine!
Valerie has become not only our designer, but our friend, as she strives to know her clients – their likes and their dislikes. She works diligently to make sure you are pleased with the final result.
One of the things we truly value about Valerie is that she keeps the best interest of her client foremost in her decision making – always working with honesty and integrity. She has tremendous character and exemplifies a true sense of professionalism.
Whether it is just the two of us having an evening at home, hanging with the family or entertaining with friends, we enjoy spending time in our home. Valerie has created a look in each of our rooms that we could have never done on our own.
