“We have worked with Penelope Daborn Ltd. on several occasions. We are always pleased with the results. Penny has helped in choosing colors, fabrics and drapes. We recently built a new porch and we had seen a sofa we liked in a magazine. Penny helped to design the piece to be built. In addition she helped with the spatial arrangement of the room, the selection of fabric and window coverings and additional furnishings. We originally worked with Penelope Daborn Ltd. 7 years ago when we moved to a new house. We always come back for her expert eye, wealth of knowledge and the top notch coordination in making the arrangements for acquiring what we need.”

“Bronwyn Huffard is a dream-a gifted interior designer with a laser-like focus on color and proportion, and an eye for detail. She's guided us through three projects for two different houses--one a coastal summer residence on the coast of Maine, the second a large Shingle Style house just outside a city. In every case, she has presented us with beautiful and often unusual options for fabric, trim and accessories, has respected budget realities and met deadlines.”

“I retained Ms. Stewart for three very different jobs (from 2011 to 2016) in two different states -- a law firm in an historic building, a 950sf urban cottage, and a sprawling summer retreat. Her expansive knowledge and experience, unfailingly upbeat demeanor, daring, problem-solving skills, insistence on excellence, and truly brilliant sense of style and taste helped transform all three into places of beauty and comfort. She is the absolute best!”

“Vanessa really *gets* us, and to the extent our house is warm, inviting, and comfortable, it is largely her doing. It is what we wanted without knowing we wanted it. We still find ourselves using her, even at long distance. She's just that good.”

“I have worked with Susie Coughlin on two projects in the last year - one large scale residential project, and one smaller scale commercial office space. Susie’s ideas are fresh, modern, and approachable and she knows how to get the most bang for your buck. We so enjoy the spaces she designed for us. She is also so much fun to work with, which was really important to us!”
