Jacqueline B, Austin, TX
I have used Robin for over 5 years now. She helped my husband and I transform our home from the gourmet kitchen to our family room, and then my son's playroom/study room. She helped with selection of paint colors, designed our window dressings, recommended specialty touches like faux paint and custom doors to achieve the look we wanted, floral arrangements, lamp selections and other decor. All the nice things in the house have Robin's name on it within a reasonable budget! With so much success inside our own home, I recently hired her to help me transform a rental property. I consulted with her on paint colors, flooring, light fixtures, and reconfiguring walls to give the place a more open and urban look. The place looks amazing. Working with Robin is always a pleasure; she is professional, stays current, and is very focused on customer service. I highly recommend her, and personally always go back to her for all my design needs.

If you are a do it yourselfer and are tackling a weekend or week long painting project, try this helpful tip:
When you get done painting at the end of the day put your paintbrush or roller (with the paint still on it) in a plastic bag. Grocery store bags work really well. Then put it in the refrigerator. It will be ready to use the next day. The refrigerator trick will work well for up to three days.
If you have a project lasting more than three days or you are doing it over several weekends, then move the paintbrush or roller to the freezer and thaw it out when you are ready to use it again.
This will save you from having to do the dreaded “washing of the paintbrush or roller” until you are changing paint colors or are finished with your project.
When you are done with the project, try scrubbing your paint brush with a wire brush to get out all of the paint and have it looking like new.
