Thankfully, we found Martina. She understands the challenges of interior design for small spaces and the importance of setting (and sticking to) a realistic budget.

Martina broke the process down into manageable steps, guiding us to make decisions first on key design elements and then using these to help us discover our own style along the way. We love our *new home* and are so grateful for Martina's interior design knowledge and her ability to help us realize our vision.

It is your foundation, a way for you to love yourself and those that live with you. Fortunately, creating a such a place, need not require a great amount of space or money. It does take some time and effort to clean, de-clutter and organize, as a first step towards creating your sanctuary, but it’s absolutely worth it. Let your home be a gift to yourself. You are worth it. How I Work Creative use of space and color goes a long way. I bring my skill, creativity and talent to help you create your sanctuary, your home. I approach each job with frankness, openness, flexibility and respect for your time and your pocketbook. The best results flow from our free exchange of ideas not by the imposition of mine. My artist’s on-the-spot sketches serve to communicate my thoughts efficiently and allows for any modifications as a result of your feedback. Collaboration is the name of the game when working with me. That’s why you will end up satisfied. If you’re not happy, we’re not done! Earth-friendly decorating I start with the accessories and furnishings that are on hand. When we use these things that you have lovingly gathered over time, it ads a unique and charming warmth that reflects your personal taste, history and travels.

I've been going to and using the services at Columbia Paint for nearly a year now (home…read moreupdate/re-do going on). I couldn't be happier with their service and options. First, after trying out more than ten different pint samples for one room (various different brands) I was in Columbia Paint bemoaning about my difficulties and reluctance to try yet another sample... when Leslie suggested she could hep with a color consultation. I will never again buy samples without a consultation! For less than the cost of all those paint samples I'd bought, Leslie helped me pick out colors for four rooms! Admittedly, I am a bit challenged when it comes to decorating, but what a delight it was to have the color selection narrowed down to a few options that all flowed well from room to room. (Of note, the painter I used said he got a better contractor deal at this store than other Benjamin Moore stores he's used.) After the painting was done, it was time to buy new blinds and, of course I went back to Columbia Paint. While there was an initial miscommunication and error in ordering, Leslie and the owners did everything absolutely possible to resolve the issue in any way that it took to make me happy. Which, in my opinion is the true reason for a 5-star rating - Let's face it, mistakes happen, and how they handled it was spectacular. Every employee I've talked to in the months I've been going there has been friendly and helpful. Columbia Paint has earned my business for life and I will always recommend their store and Leslie's decorating skills.

Oooh! Editing to add photos of the text messages, that the junior assistant and I exchanged, in…read morewhich I alerted him that his approach was likely illegal (as I mention below, MULTIPLE opportunities given to him to walk it back) and which he took to mean I was threatening legal action. Eye roll. What a clown show. Well here's the update that I promised, unfortunately it's not in the direction I was hoping. I got an immediate response to my review below, with multiple requests to remove the review. I stated that I was open to updating or removing it, if things improved, and we ended up having a couple positive meetings. So much so that we elected to continue to work with them on the next phase of the project. So over the weekend (Sept 12-13), they sent us the contract for the next phase. We signed it and sent over the requested payment. I was hopeful! I was mentally drafting a positive update to this review! On Monday I received acknowledgement of receipt of the signed contract. Immediately following that, I got an email that said, and I quote "Before we can resume, please remove the Yelp review so we can start fresh and have a positive experience moving forward as we help you with your project." Guys, my jaw DROPPED. (My husband sent me a simultaneous "WHAT THE F***" text lol) Let me reiterate, we had signed the contract, sent the payment, and THEN received an email saying they wouldn't begin the work until a brand new condition had been met. We were completely floored. But okay, I thought, benefit of the doubt, the guy that sent that email has the position of junior assistant on the website, maybe he doesn't realize that what he's doing - withholding work that has been paid for unless we meet a new requirement that we never agreed to - constitutes a word that rhymes with shmextortion. So I responded that this requirement is unethical, inappropriate, and possibly a breach of contract. I gave him every opportunity to walk it back, and then reached out directly to the firm owner to verify that this was in fact the position that Bitarchitects was taking. The only response I got is that we can terminate the agreement, so that's what we did. To their credit, they processed the refund relatively quickly. So yeah, I don't know. I can only speak to my experience, of course. The other positive reviews indicate that other people have had better experiences with them. But this all does make me wonder if other reviews have been manipulated in a similar manner. So caveat emptor I guess. Because I fully expect they will respond and try to spin this in some way that makes me look like I'm the unreasonable one, I'm attaching screenshots of the actual email exchange (just the initial exchange, because the junior assistant started texting me after that email and it went on for a while, until I went back to email to contact the owner). Redacting names and email addresses as a professional courtesy.
