Customer Reviews

  • "I have had the opportunity to work with Max on a number of projects. I have found Max to be very professional, detail oriented, ethical/possessing high business standards, quite knowledgeable, great with customers, and such an easy person with whom to work. I wish I had a dozen of her!!"
  • "I recently moved into a new home and was not sure what to do with the awkward niche above my kitchen! Max suggested that I have it faux painted and went around my condo picking items she thought would take the Tuscany-feeling up onto the shelf! Max arranged the décor , using what I have and it look gorgeous! I also had an area where I needed help to pick chairs and a rug. Max advised me with the chair size, design, fabric, etc. Beautiful color and design combinations, right! I love the results and would highly recommend Max any day!"
  • "Max is very professional, knowledgeable and a true expert in her field of Colors! Her advice was spot on and my home looks beautiful!"
  • "We called Max after several years of failed attempts to coordinate the colors in our home and hands down, her service was the best money we've spent on this house thus far! This lady knows her stuff! Max was analyzing our colors (or lack thereof) from the moment she walked through our door. The detaill and energy she puts into her work is not only astounding, but fun to watch! We have been so happy with her work, that we called her back a 2nd time and plan to use her for more projects as we move forward. Thank you Max for the passion you put into your work. It is clear that you love what you do because it is reflected throughout our home."
  • "Max is awesome! I have been working with her since 2008. Her dedication and professionalism are obvious to those who have the pleasure of working with her. I highly recommend working with Max!"
  • "I had just purchased by dream home after a year of looking. It is a 1976 contemporary with beams, soaring ceilings and a funky retro vibe.  I thought I could handle picking the right colors but I was in a panic and actually standing at the paint store crying . I LOVE color, BOLD color. The night before my painters were to arrive I still had no colors chosen, that is when I discovered Max. I took a chance that she could come over for an emergency visit and she did!! What a miracle worker! She helped me choose great bold color for my house! The colors are beautiful and express me so perfectly. After Max left I was so calm and confident that we had the right colors and now I have the pleasure of living in a beautiful home that I love even more"
  • "Max has an amazing eye for color and design and my house looks beautiful. She goes far and beyond to make sure her client is satisfied with the color choice. She is professional, always ready to answer questions and I can't recommend her enough!"
  • "Max was wonderful to work with, and I can't recommend her highly enough! We needed her help to choose new exterior colors for our house. She brings a unique skill in her ability to see how the surrounding structures and foliage will affect the new colors. She also brings paint boards that are true to color and large enough that we could easily envision the finished project. Once we had chosen our colors, she worked with the painter to clarify exactly where each color should go. Max was very easy to work with, friendly, and professional. I would recommend her without reservation."
  • "Max is beyond amazing! Professional, empathetic and sensitive to her customers' needs. Max recently staged my house.  She was direct and to the point of what would be needed to entice buyers to have to have my home. Using what I had, she made my home look like a model home! My house was under contract in 4 days! I can't wait to work with Max on making my new home "home" for me and my son. Thank you Max!"
  • "What don't I love?!? That is a much shorter...actually non-existent....list! Max is timely, has exceptional taste and understands client needs. She tailors each job to perfectly fit the client's needs - whether it is budget job or a dream renovation, the woman is amazing. Allow me to say it again: she is AMAZING! I would work with her every single day if I could - they would be days filled with beautiful things and surrounded by a person whose positive energy just saturates everything around her. If I could offer advice to others, I would use two words: Hire Max!"
  • "I can't say enough great things about Max and her skills! Wow! She is incredible and really knows her stuff! She helped us to pick out the most beautiful frames for every room with mirrors, and we are thrilled with the final product! She literally took the bathroom look form "drab" to "DAZZLE!" I highly recommend Max to family and friends and anyone looking to improve their design--she is pure magic and a true delight to work with!"
  • "We refer clients who call into our office who are not a good fit for our firm but a better fit for what Max does and she has always been very professional. I consider her a trade partner. She refers projects to us and we refer projects to her. It is great to know that we all have a little different niche and that we can count on others to handle referrals in a professional manner. Max also has a delightful personality. A definite PLUS!"
  • "Max is outstanding. She is very easy to work with, without the big ego one might expect from a Designer. She made all the choices and recommendations for our wood floors, carpet, tile, interior wall paint color, deck color, and light fixtures, and the result is spectacular. She was always right there when we needed her. Very reliable. I highly recommend her!"
  • "Max is the best! Beyond her talent in color, and relentless effort to handle almost every detail for us, she kept us on track. She made some color suggestions that were, quite frankly, scary. The results far exceeded out expectations and we love them. She always deferred to us in decision making. She never tried to dissuade us in favor of her tastes.
    At the end of the day, we never thought our house would be so enjoyable."
  • "Max is the best!! She really knows her colors!! I needed to freshen up my home and Max has helped me so much!! She repurposed many of my things that I loved but just didn't know what to do with them! She is reliable and her follow up is impeccable!! She helped me get going on my projects and when I would hit a wall, she understood! She stayed within my budget and didn't try to "sell" me on things I just did not need! Not only will you be impressed with her knowledge and work ethic, but she is a very cool lady as well!! I really enjoy her company!!"
