I've had window treatment (drapes, roman shades, blinds, and sheers) for six rooms done at Acorn Interiors by Paula and her team. They really know what they're doing, presenting a lot of options for fabrics and putting together creative solutions for those not-so-standard windows. They're also able to be helpful without being pushy, which I've found is a hard line to walk in the design business.

Monique and her team transformed our house from ordinary to amazing! She rearranged some of our…read morefurniture and decor in ways we never imagined. She brought in really interesting artwork and various figurines that made our home like a showplace! Even our realtor commented that our beautiful home was brought to next level with her staging. For the very reasonable designer fee, we are convinced that it increased our sales price more than 10x the cost of the staging! I would recommend Serenity Designs/Monique to ANYONE considering selling their home.

We called Monique in mid-March, aiming to list out house by the end of May…read more She and her assistant were great: we got a to-do list - which saved us having to argue about the relative merits of his/her taste - and she made a plan for the things that she wanted to bring to freshen up some of the rooms. Once we had done our chores (mid-May), she was back with the loaner items and they set the house up carefully for the photographer, and gave us instructions about how we should re-create the setting before showing the house. She does exactly what she says she is going to do, with a minimum of fuss and I would work with her again in a heartbeat.

During our first meeting, she listened to our thoughts, was aware that we needed to have a design/home that accommodated our three year old, and had MANY ideas. she was also mindful to our budget for each room. Our home is beautiful, and it's all thanks to Lisa! I can't say enough positive things about Lisa, and I strongly recommend her to everyone I know.

Lisa Jensen is an incredibly talented designer. I have worked with two other designers, and…read moreworking with Lisa was by far the best experience. I did a One Week Room Design for our living room, an area of our house that we have redecorated twice before, spending good money on quality pieces that in the end just didn't work together. I researched local designers and loved her "Before and After photos on her website. For our living room we had all kinds of specifics we needed included in the layout and the details, and she managed to put them all together in a way that works extremely well functionally and looks gorgeous. It is now our favorite spot in the house, whereas before we rarely went into the room. We have now hired her to help us with our Master Bedroom design. You won't be disappointed. I had spent loads of money and time on getting pieces that didn't end up working together before working with her. She is worth every penny. I highly recommend her work!

It was truly a full service experience with staging consulting, pictures, videos and even drone cameras. Peggy is amazingly thorough and we could relax knowing that every detail was being taken care of. During the actual sale, she timed the open house showings perfectly to capitalize on a hot market. When many offers came in, she tirelessly negotiated with dozens of different of parties to assure that we got not only an incredible price but very attractive terms. We can't recommend Peggy and her team enough for making our sale a successful and seamless experience.

Karen and the Peggy Patenaude team is incredibly transparent, comprehensive, and genuine. From the initial sit down with Karen to discuss the market and our home's worth, we felt in the know through the rest of the process. The staging process transformed the appearance of the home and made it incredibly welcoming. It is no surprise that the house sold after the first weekend on the market OVER the asking price. I would without hesitation recommend Karen and The Peggy Patenaude Team looking to buy or sell.
