“I cannot rave about Emily enough! She's quick, attentive, responsive and so easy to work with! She nailed almost everything I asked for, in a very awkwardly laid out room. She also provided an extremely easy shopping list that I completed in less than 30 minutes. She included instructions for all item placement, and was incredibly patient over the course of my multiple email threads (thank you, Emily!) I can't wait for my items to arrive and the room to be complete!! I will definitely work with Emily again once we're ready to update our family room this spring/summer!”
