Client Testimonials

"Debra was knowledgeable, and really interested in interpreting my choices and working within my rather opiated preconceived notions of what I envisioned, which must be hard. She’s smart as a whip, and very talented. It really, really helped what can be an agonizing process."

"Erin Deane in Chicago exceeded my expectations! She offered ideas for several options and helped me narrow those down. Some of her colour ideas helped me condsider bolder colour than I would have normally considered. I came away truly excited about new paint throughout the interior of my home, rahter than just another paint job with safe selections."

Heidi Noriko was incredible! She made what was beginning to be a very stressful remodel, light and fun. She was warm, charismatic, and very knowledgeable about the colours. She was able to wrangle all of our thoughts in to one cohesive plan. I would definitely recommend her to help anyone with this process…"

"Our time with Holly Faulkner was extremely informative and helpful. She showed us varied and interesting approaches to colors and combinations in every room of the apartment, and with her suggestions and guidance, we were able to make decisions that cover the large paint and wallpaper job to be done. We never could have made such progress on our own!

When we met with Holly, our architect accompanied us, and she was so impressed with the consultation that she intends to recommend your service to other clients to augment the expertise of the interior decorators the firm has on staff."

"Michaela took our initial "palette" preference and made it into something so much more interesting. The time invested is worth it; otherwise you'd spend 10x on the back and forth and still be debating colors in your [limited] wheelhouse. I was stunned and appreciative of the 2 hours we spent together -- insanely efficient, insightful and productive. Michaela was so thoroughly knowledgeable of the F&B portfolio, she was also confident with her recommendations -- I really appreciated her confidence (not arrogance) ... she synched with me, but took that to another level in terms of possible colors, It was an excellent experience. My mother had a similar experience with her F&B color consultant. As the saying goes, "you don't know what you don't know" -- unleash the color consultants. They know what they're doing, but with you in mind.​"

"Sophie was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about all the paints offered by Farrow and Ball. We feel very excited and comfortable with the paint colors we selected and feel like we ended up in a better place/with a better plan than we otherwise would have been able to achieve ourselves. She was incredibly patient with us as we worked through different options. She had clearly read all the advance materials/answers we submitted in the questionnaire and came ready with ideas and questions for us that helped us make choices for our new home."

​"I wish more people understood the value of color consultancy. The way she spoke about color was so fascinating and made so much sense. It took something that is stressful for me (paint is expensive so I want to make good choices!) and made it fun. Never thought I’d say that."
