| "My biggest concern, and the reason for my year and a half delay in
painting the inside of my house, was not picking the right colors, and not
being bold enough, and thus regretting my decisions later. Debra was
introduced to me and we hit it off very nicely--before she arrived she
asked what I was looking for and she came to my house fully ready to begin
the discussion. After several discussions and sit downs in my home, we
ended with a final set of colors I never would have selected myself. The
results, which are on her web site, show the refined combination of
warmth, clean lines, and distinctiveness I was looking for. On top of all
this, she has a great sense of humor, unassailable integrity, and was a
joy to work with."

"Debra was a terrific resource on two projects. First, she helped us
choose materials for a complete bathroom makeover in our New York City
apartment. She patiently helped us select materials with the right color
and texture for the wall and floor as well as the fixtures. We went with
glass tiles and limestone on the floor and are pleased every day with her
recommendations. Debra also guided us on choosing a new kitchen floor. We
wanted something easy on the feet, a color that would work with existing
colors in the kitchen and adjacent hallway, and that would be
environmentally friendly. We choose a linoleum product and the color is
great. I can't recommend Debra highly enough."

"Debra listens carefully to her clients, uses her expertise to make color
suggestions, and helps her clients make exciting color decisions. She
advised me how to turn my condo (which had been painted entirely white)
into a colorful environment which highlights my existing furniture and
makes my artwork pop. She encouraged me to do something very dramatic with
my dining room walls. She was most responsive to follow-up questions I had
(on drapery colors and paint finishes). I recommend her highly."

"Buying a home is a lot of work, and I just don't ever have much left over
to devote to moving and setting up, making needed renovations, etc. I
don't know what I would have done without Debra's ideas -- she definitely
was able to translate our feelings/lifestyle, architectural features and
legacy furnishings into a home. Debra thought beyond one room at a time to
develop a coherent approach to color. I will never have a white wall again
(as long as she is around to help me decide which color!). She helped us
on our last two homes, and although I hope not to move again, I am sure
that when we are ready to paint again I will be calling on her. She is so
easy to work with, does her homework, and has a great eye for value (she
helped me pick out lighting fixtures for every room in my townhouse)."

"Our Realtor introduced Debra to us when we bought our house in
Westchester. It was the first time we used the services of a Color
Consultant. Even if my wife and I had a clear idea on how we wanted to
decorate our house, Debra gave us some good advice and helped us to think
outside of the box, bringing very interesting suggestions. Debra was very reactive and professional. She sent a very detailed notice to our painter
and the results are great! Debra respect your sensibility and tastes 100%
and help you to go explore new ideas, in line with your tastes. I would
recommend Debra without any hesitation!"

"Debra's services are invaluable for anyone who is painting the interior
and/or exterior of their house. She has a true gift when it comes to
marrying the homeowner's personal taste with the style and architecture of
the house. She has incredible ideas, brilliant taste and she is a pleasure
to work with."

"As a realtor, I've found Debra's expertise invaluable. Whenever I've
recommended her to clients they've raved about her and thanked me
profusely for suggesting her services. She's incredibly creative, knows
how to listen and knows when to be firm! And for you realtors out there,
she makes a great closing gift!"

"Debra is the critical link you need when you are painting your home and
have family members who disagree on color suddenly facing painters who
need direction on level of shine, palette, trim, etc. She finds a way to
showcase your family members' persona, blend in the historic style of your
architecture, mold your home into the neighborhood scheme, and work with
current artistic styles. She is there for you every step of the way to
make certain you love the finished product. Debra works within your budget
plus she is personable, punctual and professional. Our family would never
paint a room without her input."
