REFERENCES & TESTIMONIALS

Judy & Mike Boone, Strongsville, OH 44149"We were very pleased with the design services that you

provided. We really like the new bathroom… We are hoping to be able to have the smaller upstairs bathroom renovated next year and would welcome the opportunity

to work with you again.“

Susan & Roy Clarke, Avon Lake, OH 44012 (Award Winning Project – pictures on pages 4 & 5)

Susan & Sean Evans, Bay Village, OH “Never working with a designer before, I was a bit

hesitant, but Myia was wonderful. She made the overwhelming selection process manageable, almost

enjoyable, by ably guiding me to colors and products that suited my taste. She was always willing to answer

questions, provide suggestions, and patiently walk me through all of the choices until we arrived at the final

selection. The end result is amazing, and I know I couldn’t have done it without her guidance!” (Project

pictures on pages 18 & 19)

Rosann & Tom Prudhoe, Avon Lake, OH "I am so pleased with our kitchen and bath, and working

with you was so easy.“ (Project pictures on pages 14 & 15)
