Testimonials

"I began working with Ruth about 3 years ago and have found the experience to be very very positive.

I guess there have been a series of separate projects in my home over this time so I have had the opportunity to look elsewhere for help and honestly never thought twice about asking Ruth to help with the next project.

There are several “attributes” that I found over this time that I admired. First, she is balanced between offering advice and alternatives while listening to what I wanted to accomplish.  This includes both design and budget.  Secondly, she really put me as her client “first”; whether it was setting up a meeting, reviewing a proposal, organizing workers to come to my home or accommodating my schedule in the last minute.  I have found her to be quite flexible and responsive.

Finally, I have been very happy with the outcome of all of the projects.  While not anal, I am discerning and I have found that the choices made and her advice really were evident in the finished product.

Based on my multiple experiences working with Ruth, I would not hesitate to hire her for my next project or refer her to prospective clients.  I would be happy to talk to you directly if that would help."

"I wanted to let you know that I found an additional benefit to work you did for me. I have loved things like my new bedroom so much, it has truly been a major joy in my life. The color you picked for my office was something I wouldn't have thought of, and now it is my favorite color. Everyone who sees it comments on how warm and welcoming the room has become. People noticed things like the throw and pillow on my couch and of course they came from Tout le Monde.

But the extra bonus is that I put my place up for sale. Properties in this development have not been selling quickly. Mine sold in eight days. Every real estate agent commented right away on how lovely my place was. The listing agent took pictures and including two full pages with the listing. Over and over I heard praise for the colors you had used. If I had to sell again I would paint based on colors you choose. I truly believe that is what sold my place quickly. I think without you I would be here discouraged and without a sale.

Now in my new place I want to recreate the bedroom so I can continue to enjoy it. I look forward to working with you to create a warm and welcoming home. I could not have done this without you. I am so glad I found you and your wonderful store. Thanks for sharing your talent with me."

"Our house was kind of boring and drab. Ruth transformed it into a bright, colorful living space where the colors just flowed from room to room. She did everything from design ideas to selection of paint colors, furniture, accents, and window dressings. She even did the painting! We have received nothing but rave reviews from all visitors. Thanks, Ruth!"

"You have been a blessing and are a wonderful decorator. Without your distinguished style and decorating eye we could not have pulled our home together in such a warm and welcoming way."

Gutwillig, Bedford NH

"You more than proved your ability with the total renovation of my living room. I don't think the faux walls or hand painted furniture could be more beautiful. Your endless ideas for the kitchen and master bedroom reflected the passion you have for your work and understanding of your clients needs. I was especially impressed with your understanding of the look I was trying to create, when I wasn't quite sure myself. I've recommended you to friends because I know you won't disappoint them and the end result will exceed their expectations.

It was a pleasure to work with a professional who is so cheerful, creative, enthusiastic and committed to her field. I look forward to working with you again in the near future."
