Not only does Peggy make a room fun and full of life for a child, she did an outstanding job organizing and arranging the room. It absolutely amazed me how a room that was cluttered and ordinary was turned into a beautiful masterpiece. It was so rewarding to see my daughter's expression the first time she saw her finished room.

My room was boring before Peggy patid [painted] it. It reminds me of a flower garden and I love it! Peggy is a grate pater [great painter].

The room finally works! The traffic flow is easy, and all the various uses of the room happen gracefully and effortlessly.

Our things look beautiful. Peg moved a lot of clutter, and brought our old things out of hiding. I'm amazed and proud of our furniture and art. I can see beauty in the room and in our collection that I hadn't seen before; it was an ugly duckling and it is now our swan.

The place has soul. Life's most enduring and important moments happen at the family table. Our dining room is now a warm comfortable spot in which we find more than bodily sustenance. I'm proud to have folks over and entertain, and after everyone leaves, I light candles and linger. On one wall Peggy created a space that we call the altar, a place to light candles for prayers. I love it.

Before Peggy came to our house and transformed it, the living room was boring, ugly, and small. I never really had people over to the house because I was embarrassed about how ugly it was. The walls were all a bland, dirty looking white, and the furniture was cluttered and not very functional. It was hard to walk through, and unpleasant to sit and talk in. Now that Peggy has helped out, it is brighter, more organized, and has a more personal touch to it. Instead of just a room that stores our things, the living room has become a family room. Everyone that has come to our house since it has been redone has complimented the new room and told us how awesome it looks. The Painted Room has truly improved not only our house, but our quality of life.

Just wanted you to know how much we love the mural in the guest room at No Cabbages Bed and Breakfast. I knew that we wouldn't be disappointed, after seeing the creation in your daughter's bedroom and Bekah's house. Often, decorators show their own personality, but you listened to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. I was so impressed. My husband built a whimsical frog bed, and over it I put the word "DREAM" in gold letters, but the room still needed pizzazz. Your mural, a full moon over a swamp, tied the room together, giving it warmth, depth and interest. My interest in analyzing dreams makes this my favorite room in the house. With the healing symbols of frogs (transformation) and of the swamp (deep soul work) it is now a magical place to sleep.
