Downsizing Services in Swansboro, NC

“I cannot thank Nancy and The Sum of Its Parts for the remodel. She transformed our house into a home. Without knowing me well she was able to design elements that were personal, meaningful and practical, like a large chalk board in my kitchen. Nancy's creativity, resourcefulness and ability to stay on budget is rare. I highly recommend her for any project large or small.”

“Excelent job! It is all about the details, and how passionate she is when working on a project. I do recommend Blue Lillie, no doubt!”

“Renovation of condo in New Bern, NC. Not only did Maggy do an excellent job, but we gained a friend!!”

“Jayne McGinn Designs does excellent work and with her years of experience is able to create viable options for her customers. I have worked with her on two projects and was very satisfied as the General Contractor working with a Designer. The customers were very pleased as well...The ultimate goal...Achieved!!!”

“When i moved into my newly built home in the Brunswick forest area I realized that although I loved the open floor plan concept on paper once I got in there I had no clue how to make it functional. There was no foyer area and the living, dining room and kitchen just seemed to be one giant space with no discernible breaks. I was over my head. I knew with a full time job and being a single mother I didn't have the time or quite frankly the expertise to design my home. I had a friend who swore that hiring the right professional could actually save me money (it did) rather then doing it on my own. I researched and narrowed it down to 3 designers. Judy was the only one that presented me with a list of all the places she gets a trade discount and showed me how passing that discount on to me (some designers don't give the client the discounted price) she could save me money and more importantly time! I liked her portfolio but more importantly I liked that she took great care in getting to know what my style preferences were and what I wanted not what she wanted. Hiring her was the best decision I could have made! U know when you meet someone who truly loves what they do it becomes infectious? That's her. Judy's level of service was impeccable. She was so reliable and has a laser focused attention to detail. The quality of her design exceeded my expectations and made my home look so much better than I even imagined possible. On top of that she adhered to our agreed upon budget which almost never happens. She never tried to "upsale" me and she easily could have because I was also on a timeline with the holidays approaching. That is intergrety that seems to be rare in business these days. Needless to say I could not recommend Judy enough!!”

“We have been working with Pam on and off for the past 12 years. I highly recommend her for any interior design/remodeling projects you have. She took the time to get to know us and our style. We love how Pam helped us turn our house into a beautiful home that we truly love. Give Pam a call, you will not be disappointed..”

“Suzanne is simply amazing. We hired her to stage our home and it sold in under a week. I high recommend her because of her professionalism, experience, and skill. Our home was over 3500 square feet and a tough sale but she did it with a smile on her face!”

“Without a doubt, Balance It Pretty has provided outstanding planning, attention to detail and creative ideas to ensure our daughter’s wedding is a memorable day. We are looking forward to October 12th!”

“We are "BELLA HOMES", based out of NY and have had many projects out of state. I had received a recommendation by a professional acquaintance to contact Sharon Mackesy at "Rich Designs". This contact had been proven to be worth its weight in gold! I have had 2 homes staged and with Sharon's help, the sale of each home was quick! I have passed on her contact info and web address to others to help them with their decorating needs. I would be very confident in any home touched by "Rich Designs" to be a home done to reflect the homeowner's personality and lifestyle!”

“Jennifer was absolutely incredible to work with in the design of our home. She was so patient throughout a very long process and always made any changes we asked. She is kind and knowledgeable and has great taste. She was also able to find styles that myself and my husband both loved, even though our tastes can be different. I am so happy with how our home turned out. She was a joy to work with and I would recommend her to anyone.”
