I can’t put into words how much I love everything we did. My home is beautiful and amazing - everything I had hoped for! I wanted to share with you my deep gratitude for your help in making my house a beautiful home for my children and I. As we enjoy our time at home, I am continously in awe at how perfectly you understood what I wanted and needed. I don’t just have a beautiful house we are very proud of, we now have a true home where we live, love and create great memories. Thank you SO very much Cheryl for helping me make this a reality!

I want to convey my emphatic sense of satisfaction for all the great work you performed for our house project. We couldn’t have found anybody as dedicated to the task as you were. Thank you a thousand times. We hope to see you soon in the near future!

We would never get where we wanted to be without your amazing work. Thank you!!
— John, Penfield, NY
You have been amazing to work with and we so appreciate all of your help and guidance over the last year. Our kitchen could not have come together as beautifully without your help. There is no way we could have put together such a beautiful and thoughtful design or such an organized plan on our own. You have done such a wonderful job at helping us envision what it would all look like! We are very thankful for your expertise, professionalism, and ability to help us narrow down many, many decisions. Thanks so much! I wish I had your eyes all the time!
— Ellie & Mark, Fairport, NY
Thanks so much for your time yesterday - and an added bonus - it was fun! You are just like an OBGYN!... It’s so exciting because you give birth to all these beautiful new baby/projects!
— Joanne, Pittsford, NY
What you do for your clients is very special... you help them achieve their dreams while building trusted personal relationships.
— Robert, Fairport, NY
Thanks so much! I was totally “wowwed” just as you told me and also blown away by all the choices and the work you did. I totally feel it’s been worth it to get a whole new perspective on the house. You have an amazing vision and eye for style and color... it looks fabulous. It feels very zen in here. Our rug was just delivered and it looks better in real life than in the pictures! Love the colors and there are pinks and burgundy colors in the rug that bring out the colors in the brick! You’re a genius! Just another thanks for your amazing expertise!
— Rebecca, Pittsford, NY
Thank you so much for everything. Cheryl, it’s all beautiful!!! I love the way the artwork looks in the kitchen! It’s all perfect!
— Jane & Mark, Penfield, NY
We so appreciate everything you’ve done for us to help us make our home ready to welcome our new arrival. It turned out better than we could have ever expected. We are loving everything & really enjoying showing off our “new” home to everyone. Thank you so much!
— Julia & Roy, Pittsford, NY
I can tell you were here this week... there’s been so much progress!!! Thank you so much for the “extra touches”!!! WOW!!! You are definitely going above and beyond yet again!!! I would have completely missed these things, or discovered them months from now. SOooooo appreciate all you do!
— Pat, Mendon, NY
Thanks again for getting “outside the box”! You certainly made a big difference in my home and life. I’m looking forward to living in it!
— David, Pittsford, NY
The hardware has all been changed... painting is finished... kitchen island is finished... shade is in too. The rug has now arrived... love it, love it... one thing I was not quite sure about but it is awesome!!! Again, I trusted and you were soooo right! Now my dear, our sincere thanks to you for your help. You took me out of my comfort zone... and it all worked!!! The cabinet color was most difficult for me but we did it and indeed everything in there just shines. Can’t tell you how much we appreciate your wonderful advice!
— Marylou & Bill, Rochester, NY
The kitchen and countertops look awesome... your attention to detail has made all the difference in the finished look!
— Lakeside Kitchens, Penn Yan, NY
Cheryl was responsible for the interior design of our newly built 4000+ square foot office space. Including reception area, several private offices, a large work area with cubicles, conference room, bathrooms, kitchen and storage rooms. Cheryl managed the project from beginning to end. This included working with the developer on blueprints, selecting materials (paint, carpet, tile, lighting, ceilings, fixtures, etc.), overseeing contractors working on-site, meeting with suppliers, and interfacing with staff to ensure that all needs were accommodated. The attention to detail and the finished product surpassed everyone’s expectations. Every time a newcomer walks into the office, the first comment made is a compliment about the look of the office. Cheryl’s ability to visualize a design and create the most efficient, cost effective and inspirational space is second to none. Equally important to the fabulous office space we now work in, the time Cheryl saved me so that I could continue to manage the business during the renovations is immeasurable. I can’t begin to calculate the lost revenue had I been taken away from the business to manage the build. I highly recommend Cheryl as both a designer and project manager.
— John, Fairport, NY
Cheryl custom designed my entry and dining room cabinetry, organized my kitchen, coordinated paint colors and window coverings, proposed awesome countertop and backsplash options and designed my laundry room... just took so much weight off my shoulders in all of the above. Her awesome service and creativity have accomplished more for my new home than I could have imagined in such a short amount of time. I am a very satisfied customer!
— Chris, Fairport, NY
Thank you, thank you! I appreciate you every time I sit in my office. Thanks for all of your hard work! I admit that I never would have come up with this arrangement in my office... for the furniture or pictures on the wall... but I really think that it works. We all have our own gifts, indeed and this is most certainly yours. You have an amazing ability to see possibilities and put things together in a way that makes it feel useful and visually appealing. Thank you for sharing your gift with me!
— Abigail, Fairport, NY
We’re in awe of all that was accomplished within just a few months... we couldn’t do it in three years. Simply thrilled! You have really brought our home together in a way we never could have. Thank you for all you’ve done. It’s fantastic!
— Kathy & Jeff, Penfield, NY
Thank you so much for taking time to listen so clearly as to what our objective was with the Welcome Center & Model Apartment. I am so pleased with the outcome of both. I am excited to use the Welcome Center with families who will be visiting and touring. You do certainly deliver “the WOW!” It was great to have our entire team AND a national marketing expert available to see the unveiling together. Nothing like putting you on the spot, huh!! You’re a trooper!! We hit our goal of completion time and we’re within budget. I appreciate your commitment to this project and your ability to find creative ways to keep our vision on track!
— St. John's Meadows, Rochester, NY
You have given us a “grown ups” home to finally live in! We are still overly excited about everything that you have selected. Thank you again for everything.. we couldn’t be any happier!
— Guy & Traci, Fairport, NY
My husband and I worked with Cheryl when we were adding granite countertops to our kitchen. She helped us pick the color and pattern that really worked well with the existing cabinets and wall color. She also helped us pick new color for our family room which we absolutely love. Cheryl does a great job with recommendations that make everything look fantastic together.
— Donna, Penfield, NY
We certainly miss seeing you around here!! The colors are wonderful and your touches special... we are very grateful!!
— Deb & Ernie, Fairport, NY
Dad is getting RAVE reviews and requests to see his apartment because of you! Friends/family/anybody who visits LOVES his place! Everything went well, and we think it looks fantastic. The light fixtures are just right, especially pleased with the kitchen. So pleased with color choice. Thanks for all your help Cheryl!
— Amanda & Al, Rochester, NY
I cannot begin to tell you how very happy and pleased I am with what you did with my apartment. First of all, your coordinating with the painters, then you giving a “short list” of things to put in it, and finally the way you got all the pictures... particularly the ones in the long hall... up and hanging in perfect order. I want you to know how thrilled I was with that. The rest of the apartment looks great. You got all of my Japanese things up and hanging. This is the first time that I’ve ever had them so friends (me too) can just enjoy looking at them. Thank you. If, at any time, you should want me to speak to someone about the possibility of you coming to design for them, please... oh, please... feel free to have them call!
— Jimmie, Rochester, NY
I just wanted to thank you for all the work you did with Karen and my mom in her new condo. You were incredible and made the process so much easier! I know both Karen and my mom feel exactly the same way. I am more than happy to recommend you to anyone interested in your services.
— Rick, Rochester, NY
Our sincere thanks for a gorgeous job. Well done!! Your suggestions are very helpful... whether it be the selections of paint colors, window treatments or carpet... furniture arranging, or artwork and accessory placement. We just LOVE the colors! It was a pleasure working with you... you do make us smile!
