“I worked with Bonnie Peet in re-decorating the Living Room and Family Room of a forty-year-old house.  Other than some idea of colors, I had absolutely no idea of what I wanted or needed to brighten up the house.  After determining my lifestyle and desired colors, she was able to provide numerous suggestions, ideas, samples and catalogues that greatly assisted in selecting the furniture and furnishings that met my needs and desires.  Her assistance was extremely valuable in selecting the appropriate furniture and furnishings that when installed, made the house something of which to be proud.  As expressed by friends and neighbors, the house truly had a WOW factor after the project was completed.  Bonnie and the staff of Decor & You are true professionals, interested in only one thing, Customer Satisfaction, which they definitely have provided.”  (Frank, Bowie, MD working with Bonnie Peet)

“I had to sit down and just thank you so much for making our new home so beautiful. I absolutely love the living room and the other furnishings for the entry way,  family room and window decor. I am sitting in the “golden room” looking right into the living room and I am just loving it.  Everything came together so perfectly thanks to you and your instinct for knowing exactly what I wanted even when I did not.

I had some company last night and they had never seen our house;  when you talk about the “WOW” element it was in their faces and words.   I told her that I had the best decorator and that you knew exactly what look I wanted, even when I  was totally overwhelmed. . . . Again thank you for everything and I can honestly say the living room definitely has that “WOW” factor.” – Gloria S. (March 2010; Loudoun County, Virginia – working with Crystal Cline)

“Thanks again for your help today.  You make it look so easy to pick out the right color combinations; left to my own devices, who knows what I would have come up with!”   -  Patti H.  (Sept. 17, 2009, Fairfax, VA – working with Janet Aurora)

“I absolutely love my window treatments, furniture, and rugs.  Everything looks wonderful.  You are fabulous at what you do and I have enjoyed every minute of this design project.  Your enthusiasm, creativity and touch of practicality just work wonders with a limited budget.  Thank you for everything!” – Mary Kay (Arlington, Virginia – working with Janet Aurora)

“It has been a pleasure working with you on my window treatments. They look spectacular! I could not have had this much success if I went to a home improvement store and just picked them out. Working with professionals such as you made all the difference in the world. Your attention to detail in installation was amazing.” – Karen  (Sterling, Virginia)

“It was such a pleasure meeting you and I look forward to working with you and making my home beautiful. Thanks for all your hard work!” – Kelly  (Reston, Virginia)

“My wife and I look forward to a very long and mutually rewarding relationship with Katie McGovern and the staff from DecorAndYouDC. As they continue to transform our living spaces into beautiful, inviting and memorable home.

Our experience with Katie McGovern and DecorAndYouDC has been nothing short of wonderful.  From our very first meeting Katie captured the essence of our home and personal taste perfectly and was able to create a functional environment that integrated seamlessly throughout the house.

Throughout the design process, Katie demonstrated an impressive level of expertise and professionalism. She is always prepared for our business meetings, equipped with a fine tuned selection of aesthetically appropriate design choices. She’s calm, poised and focused. Her clarity on what the space requires for the best outcome is educational, inspirational and invigorating. Katie is steadfast in the execution process and demonstrates an exemplary attention to detail, a welcome attribute appreciated by the discriminating client. ME!

Katie is gracious and kind, intelligent and tasteful. She interacts with her colleagues in a respectful and thoughtful manner. She even brought us within budget something that meant a lot given the current economic conditions.

In the end, I felt like I was always apart of the creative process. So not only is my interior design unique, it’s also uniquely me. The end result is not merely a design statement, but a reflection of my identity – from the things that I like, to the way I want my friends and family to feel.” – Todd & Susan L., Chantilly, Virginia

“It was a pleasure working with Bonnie Peet from Decor & You.  Bonnie was very helpful and knowledgeable with the design layout, furniture selection and color choices for our space.  She took the time to understand what we were looking for and helped us pull the whole project together.  The room looks great! – Chris Hazell, Bowie, Maryland (Washington, D.C. Metro Area).

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to your company, Decor and You DC, for helping me deliver a surprise makeover of my master bedroom and master bathroom for my wife. Having never worked with a designer or decorator before I had no idea what to expect or where to begin but “DecorAndYouDC” clearly did! I could not have asked for a more talented and energetic designer & decorator than what you provided by linking me up with Ms. Crystal Cline.

Crystal arrived at my home less than 48 hours after my initial inquiry with your company and sat down with me to understand my project ideas, my time-lines, and the design style of our home. Once that was accomplished Crystal returned less than two days later with several design options. With her help, guidance, amazing talents and endless energy she created an aggressive project action plan that delivered superior results.

She created two amazing spaces that not only reflected all of my wife’s favorite things but created a warm and inviting space that I never imagined possible. From the paint selection and wall coverings, artwork and accessories, to the granite counter-top selection, window treatments and bed coverings Crystal deigned an amazing space that integrated all design features that far exceeded my expectations in terms of what was possible, especially given the five short weeks we had to get the project done before my wife returned from Europe.

I could not have been more pleased with how personalized our makeover was and how the final result mirrored our personalities. I am happy to say that my retirement gift to my wife for supporting my 30 year Air Force career was all that I imagined it could be…. Iva was absolutely surprised and completely speechless as she opened the doors to her new master bedroom and master “spa” bath having no idea what was inside. The tears told the whole story and I knew I had got it right!

Thank you for assisting me with this special project and for the talents and creativity of Crystal Cline. I could not have made this happen without a design team. Iva and I have been inspired to take on additional projects in our home as a result of this experience but won’t do it without the “DecorAndYouDC” team and the special talents of Crystal Cline! This was a fantastic and most unforgettable experience for us. – Michael D. Phillips

Overall we are enjoying the new furniture and layout.  It has really accomplished what we were hoping for and makes it a pleasure to be in our home.  – Liz K., Arlington, VA

“Thanks very much for all your effort. I am very, very pleased indeed and the room looks terrific. I am very comfortable there and look forward to having people over and showing it off.  – Fred L., Alexandria, VA

 I really love your work.  My favorites are the clock and mirror. — Andrea N., Alexandria, VA
