And once that paint is on it's going to look like a different house! And I love your client's comments - she is obviously a happy camper and a great client!

(Husband bought the house before we met).<br />When I met Pam I told her that I owned an outdated,challenging,and "boneless" tract home, but I needed to find a way to "bloom where I was planted!" Pam is making that come true! We can't thank you enough for the transformation of our home. You have done amazing work and somehow find ways to save us money with your smart decisions, frugal finds, and transformations of what we already owned.Blooming Where We're Plantednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859743855906273917.post-62016465027064566182012-01-17T22:52:45.549-07:002012-01-17T22:52:45.549-07:00Pam, we are so grateful for your talent and vision...Pam, we are so grateful for your talent and vision. I truthfully thought my humble tract house was beyond help, but you are working your wonders (both on the exterior and interior). Your suggestions on reducing what I call the "double vision prison" staircase make the space much less busy and much more open. You are also the sweetest person to work with. Thank you for helping us to "bloom where we are planted!"Bloom Where You're Planted!noreply@blogger.com
