Testimonials About Barbara

I believe that one of the biggest truths in life is that change is constant. When Barbara works with you, she is an amazing source to guide you to make those changes positive, whether you are changing your home, your personal life or your business.

Ruth U., Scottsdale, AZ

Through the years, our relationship had shown me that there is a huge difference between a decorator and a “Design Counselor.” With your expertise, I’ve learned that change is not only healthy but can be very exciting.  Your guidance in re-creating our master bedroom suite was invaluable and the room has become “our dream come true.” The transformation is incredible, exquisite, and extremely functional.  Even more exciting, the entire process was an enjoyable one with you by my side.  Thanks for just being you. You’re amazing!!!

Lynn R.

Just wanted to let you know how much your words, both personally and in your book, have helped me to make my home “my space.”  Your words gave me the permission I needed to be myself and to decorate with the knowledge that I couldn’t make a mistake in my personal space if I am true to myself.  I now have a home that I am proud of and that reflects the inner me.  My guests and family comment on how comfortable they are in the rooms; how aesthetically pleasing the room is with the light, personal items, and furniture.  The rooms flow better, appear connected, and please the eye from every angle.  Thank you again for the guidance you provided.

Yvonne R.

Barbara was a godsend for my family.  She helped me totally remodel my home and it is so much nicer than I could have hoped for. Barbara made it easy to select furniture.  I went to the furniture store four times and found nothing.  Then, I went with Barbara and found all my new furniture at one time, and it’s amazing!  I wanted purple; she found me purple sofas and beautiful area rugs. She also planned out a redesign for my whole house that is open, functional and beautiful.  I love my whole space, from the bathroom through the kitchen. The tile, flooring, color of the walls and kitchen layout; all make me feel comfortable and peaceful, in my home.  It’s upbeat and fits my personality.  It really beats the old stuff that I couldn’t stand to look at, anymore. If you want a fantastic space and a real “at home” feeling, employ Barbara and enjoy the whole process! 

Michell B., Scottsdale, AZ

I just want to tell you how impressed I am with your talent, patience, sense of humor, professionalism, and ability to turn out fabulous projects. Your clients are lucky to have you!

Elaine W.

When we decided we wanted to remodel our home, all was well and good.  The problem was I had no idea where to start, what was next, how to do any of it.  Fortunately, my dear friend, Barbara was an expert in virtually everything I needed to know from the smallest detail to the grandest plan.  If I dreamt it, she could manifest it.  Things that might have flitted through my mind on a semi-creative day, which in my life was exceedingly rare, in hers, constant, were taken very seriously.  This odious project which I had feared became a joy when Barbara and I did it together.

Susan Y., Phoenix, AZ

My skill set doesn’t include any of those required to envision a beautiful and gracious home.  I want to open the door, walk in and have it be me and done.  How to get there, well, there was the rub!  I didn’t even know my colors, never even thought about them.   This is not to say that I was lazy and disinterested in everything.  I have my reason to be and I feel very comfortable in my role on the planet.  I just didn’t know at that time that I had any crossover skills.  Barbara was able to get me to focus, gently and lovingly, and to become interested in selecting fabrics and tasks of that sort.  Ultimately, all of the choices were mine and my husband’s.  I understand why I made each and everyone and I love it all.  Barbara’s gentle guidance opened me up to this new world that I tip toed in until I became comfortable.  Barbara was the “wind beneath my wings.”

Susan Y., Phoenix, AZ

I have had this book for a while, but I finally picked it up as I was trying to make some choices for a new house I’m moving into. I have been conflicted with my own personal style for a long time now. The questions stimulated me to really dig into what I wanted! It is more than a design book; it’s a book to help you find yourself and create a living space that is suited just for YOU!!!! GET THIS BOOK!

Camille O.G.

It means so much to me that you assessed each room with me. Since your visit, the way I view both my home and my life has changed. I’m striving for comfortable function and peace here now, rather than putting things in places because I saw it in a magazine. I’ve changed a number of areas of my home, with your voice in my head. And there are more changes to come! 

Tami B., Fountain Hills, AZ

I took your class a few years ago and I have to say I am really enjoying your posts. It doesn’t take much to change the mood of a room or home. As I just posted, I painted over all the heavy Tuscan red of 4 years ago to the colors of the ocean. This Pisces girl feels MUCH more at home. Keep up the great posts!

Germaine C., Sun Lakes, AZ
