    Marilyn is one of those amazing creative individuals who improves anything she touches. She has worked with me and many of my professional friends to transform their boring homes into show places "Wows" I've met and dated many ladies who thought they were experts in decorating homes, but Marilyn made them all look like first graders! The reasonable fees that Marilyn charged converted my home into something out of Architectral Digest! Don't waste your time watching decorating shows or with sales people in furniture stores or shopping with well-intentioned lady friends....This Lady has real talent. Extemely creative and reliable.

    I first met Marilyn through the Interior Design field over 15 years ago. She is very talented and can put together any range of looks from Modern: paired down and sleek to very Tradtional and any place in between. Eclectic is her favorite I believe. Her home and garden were chosen for her neighborhood home and garden tour recently. She has also done renovations and worked as a contractor or with contractors. She works with all types of clientele on every budget. People should understand that a designer like Marilyn will work with you - if you can only afford to do one room at a time - that is no problem for Marilyn. She finds unique one of a kind pieces for your enviornment at resonable prices that will be worth more money with time - investment pieces that create a very unique, personalized and rich look. She makes you proud and excited about your living space.

    Marilyn uses her creativity in everything she does. While she was a student in two classes that I taught at Houston Community College, she excelled in graphic design, and especially typography. Her artwork has almost a “signature” style to it, yet it is always fresh and inspiring. I highly recommend her for any creative needs.
