We hired Brandy of The Missing Piece to help decorate our home, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. We had nothing on our windows so on her first visit she gave us suggestions on window coverings (and colors) that were complementary throughout the house and laid out where to hang art for each room. She also guided us on replacing furniture pieces that were out of scale for our rooms, which made a huge difference in how the space felt. One thing we really appreciated was how she worked with us: she sent Pinterest boards with curated suggestions for rugs, furniture, and accessories, which let us shop and pick out what we loved within her design direction. Whenever I found something on my own, I could send it to her and she'd let me know if it fit the style we were going for. That collaborative approach made the whole process feel personal rather than having someone just dictate a design to us. She was also hands-on when we needed it, helping with installs like placing a rug underneath the primary king sized bed. We couldn't figure out how to hang pictures in the foyer and she sent a drawing to help us with it. And through it all, she was incredibly responsive, always answering my questions quickly and thoroughly. We couldn't be happier with how our home turned out and would highly recommend Brandy and The Missing Piece to anyone looking for a decorator who's knowledgeable, talented, communicative, and genuinely easy to work with. read more

Brandi was amazing! She offered the best ideas. My new is beautiful thanks to her !

We've continued to work with Brandy and she continues to blow us away! She can turn any space into a cozy and inviting room that's both functional and stylish. Whether it's a living room or a bedroom, she knows exactly how to make it feel like home. One of the best things about working with her is how she helps us blend our styles. She really takes the time to understand what we both like and creates a design that feels like us--it's a perfect mix of comfort and style. She also has an amazing eye for design and a great sense of style. She can pick pieces that are both timeless and fresh, and she always makes sure everything looks great together. Plus, she's super flexible and easy to work with, which makes the whole process a breeze. If you're looking for someone who really listens to you and brings your vision to life, I can't recommend Brandy enough. She's the best! read more

Where to even start! We bought a house in Travisso several years ago and came across Brandy. As you can imagine, after buying a new house it's necessary to watch your expenses. Brandy was instrumental in really showcasing the house and also watching our for our pocketbook!! Over the next few years we would upgrade different sections of the house which culminated with a state of the art smart home theater! How much did we enjoy working with Brandy? We moved to AZ, where we employed her again.! Showing her pictures of the house, we could decide on the theme, colors, etc. We brought her out for a few days for some decorating after having the interior painted. We did the same thing... after the initial design we have been remodeling portions of the house making it more modern, carrying on a largely coastal vibe. We've been doing this over live video chats as we showed her samples of slabs, different colors and so on! We are thrilled with the outcome. We have completed the renovation in the kitchen, guest bath and we are now finishing up the master bath which includes the build out of a walk-in shower. We could not recommend her any more highly! She is an excellent designer with a great eye for what flows together! read more

I'm adding more photos to show how beautifully everything came together, thanks to Brandy's design expertise. When I posted my first review, we weren't quite finished--but now that the space is complete, I'm blown away. Brandy, through her company The Missing Piece, created a look that feels both curated and comfortable. It reflects my style perfectly and feels intentional without being overdone. She really listened and nailed exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't be happier with how it all turned out. read more

See all

Brandy is fantastic! She has an excellent combination of eye for design, working within budget and esthetic parameters and efficiency! She will get your project done right, done quickly and within your budget and that is everything I could ask for! read more

We just moved here from Cypress & in need of a color consultant. Brandy was super friendly, asking me lots of questions of my preferences, then she found the perfect color I had been looking for in previous projects. She gave me many options to choose from while helping me to find exactly what I wanted. She was very supportive & followed up with all my questions. I highly recommend Brandy for her expertise! I look forward to working with her again. read more

I felt a bit of ripped of. For initial consultation time was wasted on a lot of questions and got charged for extra time. After that the first set of recommendation I received was all easily accessible on Pinterest and got $100 invoice for that also. I didn't go forward after that but I felt it was bunch of extra charges. Brandy was super courteous and nice so definitely 5 stars for that. read more

I moved back from living overseas for 8 years and remodeled parts of my house. After that, I was in decision overload. I called Brandy in to help me figure out how to showcase all of my cool pieces of art and for furniture placement. I am tickled pink with the decisions that we made together and with the plans she put together for phase 2. Brandy is fun to work with (literally felt like we had been friends for years) and gives you her suggestions and input without hesitation. I will have her back. read more

10 out of 10 stars! Finding Brandy was a complete lifesaver. We have lived in our home for two years but we had very little in the way of "decor" because the hubs and I never really agreed or thought too much about each small decision. My other half can be a little stubborn and opinionated, but Brandy was somehow able to tame his ideas and at the same time give us something we both loved. She immediately (on the first walk through), nailed both our personalities. Having her as a designer is just so easy. It feels like your friend came over, talked to you about what you needed (in your budget), then went shopping FOR you, brings bags of cool stuff back to you, and lets you choose what you want. Then she sets it up beautifully for you, and then leaves you with this amazing masterpiece. Her rates are very reasonable (too low probably but don't tell her, we don't want her to raise them yet because we aren't done decorating!). Plus, you can pay online in full or over time. Who doesn't love that convenience? She made our home so personal to us...sometimes we just sit and look at everything because we love it so much. Highly recommend. We were only going to do a few rooms but now we want to keep going with all of her great ideas. read more

I loved working with Brandy! She helped me with a master bathroom remodel after a water leak. She was professional, a mind reader, and was always advocating for me and our family during the process. We had some "unique requests" and she helped me make them happen. I plan to ask for her help again for our kitchen when we are ready. I also truly enjoy her as a person. I love the end result! read more

If my evil twin was writing this I would give Brandy at The Missing Piece Design a bad review so she would remain the best kept secret in Austin, but alas, my good twin is writing this so I will tell the truth. I first hired Brandy to help me with some home de-cluttering and organization. She worked extremely fast and within my budget and timeline. For some of the projects she worked as a turn-key expert, working while I was out of town (so nice to come back to an organized garage) and for others we worked together (like decluttering my closet). Tasks that I had dreaded became fun! From small tasks to big projects she is always extremely easy to work with, professional, flexible, has great communications skills and her prices are very affordable. Then she helped me organize my son's bedroom. It is amazing what she did to that room only with moving existing furniture pieces and as far as I can remember I only purchased 1 chair. The rest she organized and decorating using existing items but the impact was great! The room looked bigger, better put together and organized! I am currently remodeling my home and Brandy has also started helping me with personal shopping and decorating for this big project. She takes time to understand my vision and has great ideas. She is helping me with everything from bedroom decorating to flooring and wall paint options. She is very good at keeping in touch and will text me photos when she comes across an item that would work with my home. Text back shopping! Could not be easier! I never thought of myself as someone who would hire a *decorator* or a *personal shopper*. I am not a millionaire or a movie star, but working with Brandy has changed my perspective. I realize that in the long run, I am saving lots of time, money and effort by having her do what she does best, quickly, efficiently and within budget. And we are having fun to boot! Thank you Brandy @ The Missing Piece Design - You Rock! read more

When we were ready to expand my massage business, my imagination went wild and I ended up with a storage unit full of random decor and furnishings. I needed to make magic out of all this beautiful mess. That's when I was referred to Brandy by a friend. I called her and she asked me questions about my business, the look I was going for, my budget, etc. She was very professional and sounded very confident in her ability to get us organized and ready for our Grand Reopening. After an assessment of our current stock, we made a trip to IKEA to round out our look. She was fast and efficient (I think she literally has every single item there memorized) and stayed well within the parameters of my budget. She also helped us re-organize the floor plan of our reception area to have better flow. It made a huge difference (almost all of our clients have commented on how much they love it.) I was worried about hiring someone who would impose their style in my office and leave little of the current character intact. We now have an incredibly beautiful space that fits my vision and didn't break the bank. When I couldn't wrap my brain around decorating 6 rooms, Brandy could. Such a huge asset for a small business owner with ADHD and a laundry list of other things to worry about. Bottom line: I will use Brandy for all future design needs, home or office. She's very communicative, professional and she knows her stuff! Give her a call, you won't regret it. Kristen, Owner @ Heart & Sole Massage read more

I have used Brandy several times for her personal shopping services and her research capabilities. I am on a pretty tight budget so she definitely works with me. In particular one project that really impressed me was my headboard project. For several weeks my husband and I were looking for a king size headboard. I finally came to Brandy because I couldn't find one that was attractive and with in our budget. She asked me several questions and then gave me a price quote for creating one. I hadn't even known that was an option. As a back up she also provided several websites that could act as a model for her creation. The icing on the cake was she had a vendor contact that she told me about several days later that could create said headboard quickly and efficiently and beneath my budget. I guess what I am most impressed about with working with Brandy is how efficient, thorough and resourceful she is. I know the services she offers aren't ones that I have thought to outsource (especially the personal shopping...although it is a great idea because I hate shopping) but it is affordable and reasonable. Not to mention she is professional and easy to get a long with. I highly suggest her for all your home and shopping needs. read more

Brandy is amazing! A friend referred me to The Missing Piece Design in hopes to organize a few closets. After our first meeting, I decided to redecorate and move every room in the house! Surprise! With Brandy's help, every room has truly turned into a space that we love being in. Along with the decorating assistance, Brandy has been incredibly patient with me and my husband. We're consistently thinking of ways to organize that fit us, and really learning what works best. She's honest, extremely hard working, and very reliable. One of my favorite qualities that she shows is her attention to detail and memory of "little mentions." I sometimes receive texts when she's out shopping and she's found the perfect item, without me even asking! I'm so thankful to have her as part of the team in designing our home. read more

Brandy is a personal friend, and a great one at that, so it's always a little scary to ask your friends for help via their business (because what if you don't like their skills?) BUT DON'T WORRY, FOLKS! The Missing Piece design is so valuable! Several times, I've seen Brandy transform a room just by moving a few key pieces or purchasing an item or two. Most recently, she saved the day by finding me two fixtures (life hacks?) to make the most of the tiny space I live in. You know, taking a use able space and making it into the space you want for your use? She's got the gift. Also, she brings all that great friendship stuff into the work relationship: she's timely, organized, friendly, and kind (I am sure I've had her shaking her head over my spatial-unawareness) and knew just how to work with my limited space and budget. Thanks so much, Brandy and Missing Piece Design! read more

Brandy did an excellent job helping me design my new place. She helped me arrange and organize and performed shopping and design services. Always on time. Great communications and follow up. Would definitely hire Brandy again. read more

Brandy has come all the way from Austin multiple times to help me. We moved into our house about a year ago and I have been at a loss. I love pictures, but had no idea how to place them in my house. Brandy mapped it all out for me. Listening to my taste, the things I love and my personality, she is helping me make my house our home without spending a fortune on new decor. She is simply the best and I can't wait to see what she will do next! read more

We just bought a home and we're starting from scratch on furnishings, so we wanted someone to help us choose items that would fit together well (which is daunting). Brandy's enthusiasm and keen eye for scale and composition have been so helpful. Already she's helped us save about $100 on furniture, and we could tell that she was really listening to our preferences and taking careful notes instead of trying to impose her own style on our space. It's going to take us quite awhile to furnish the whole house, but I know we're in good hands and I can't wait to see how it turns out! read more

Brandy is fun and easy to work with. She is quick to answer questions. Her consultations are detailed and she takes great notes that she sends later with pictures of the items you selected. We recently moved into a new home and many people who have entered have been amazed by how quickly the house was put together and how well. As a person who does not like to shop it's great that Brandy does and does so without wasting time or money. She is also more than willing to return any items that don't work. read more

Brandy has awesome taste, and knows everything about design! She is a one woman stop, and is so worth every penny!

Brandy has helped me decorate my rooms literally since middle school! She's always had a special gift and eye for design! I should have left a review years ago but was waiting for this special time... I'm hoping she will help me with my nursery before March! read more

Brandy has decorated several of my homes and everyone that comes to my home makes the same comment: " It is gorgeous, it looks like a designer did this!" Of course, a designer DID complete it-The Missing Piece design. It is wonderful to live in a home so comfortable, that fits my lifestyle and yet is so beautiful due to her eye for design and balance. Brandy also has assisted me with a complete makeover on my wardrobe, well below my budget. It was a delight working with her and she made me take chances in my wardrobe I would never take before. The result has been almost daily compliments on my attire. I owe this to her eye for fashion. I would recommend her for any makeover for your home, remodel, wardrobe or any organizational project. She is amazing! read more

Brandy is great! She helped us transform our open living/dining area into a comfortable, stylish, and functional space we will enjoy for years to come. Not only does she have a great design eye, she has great recommendations for places to find just the right items. She was very responsive, friendly, and easy to work with. Many of the pieces we ended up with are not ones I would've chosen if I saw them by themselves in a store l, but Brandy knew how to connect them all into an eclectic yet cohesive look that we love. I know that we'll consult with her again for our next projects. I highly recommend her! read more

I can't say enough good things about Brandy. We moved into a much larger home last year and, while we had some nice furniture and artwork, it felt empty and cold. We had a few ideas but didn't manage to take them anywhere. Brandy did a really good job of listening and understanding our wishes, quickly moving beyond the few ideas we had. We enjoyed all our interactions (especially assembling a complicated console table and how she played along with my husband's dislike of decorative pillows!). She found us some great pieces and our house is one we can live in, not a showpiece that is better in photographs than in real life. read more

Brandy is amazing! She's helped me twice now to fix and organize my closet and also help me decorate my walls. Brandy is very thorough, helpful, professional and really knows how to put a room together. Even after she's done with each project, she continues to help with tips and ideas for me to keep up my look. I highly recommend Brandy if you want a professional, and tasteful project! Love her work! Oh, and she always makes our projects fun! read more
