Satisfied clients say...

"Alicia listened closely to our ideas, and then designed a warm, rich palette that transformed our lobby. Her choice of colors and finishes was superb, using several tones to both define the space and to complement an existing bronze sculpture and architectural elements.

Alicia and her crew did a meticulous job with the painting, and her professionalism and commitment throughout the entire process made it a pleasure working with her."
--Judith McFadin, Berkeley Richmond Jewish Community Center (Berkeley, CA)

"When I first purchased my new home in Los Angeles, I thought of Alicia immediately not only for ideas regarding paint finishes and color placement, but also for ideas on furniture placement and art work as well. When I lived in my Victorian in San Francisco, I had her help me with every room. Ideas that I had seen in magazines and designer showcase homes were realized with her vision, and at a substantial savings. She was so creative in achieving certain looks in areas- some I would not have considered at all - that turned out working beautifully. Now, in my new home, the same fantastic results are occurring before my eyes. Some surprising suggestions that have worked: deep red combinations in small areas mixed with dark trim, and a periwinkle bathroom with purple-fauxed ceiling and high-gloss white baseboard that works so well with the bright white of the porcelain and tiles. And, it helps that she knew what my other home looked like so that some of the old feeling could be brought into my new home, as well as recognizing that I needed to create a very new environment. Her eye is a unique one! Thanks Alicia..."
--Jean L. Los Angeles, CA

"Alicia worked with my husband and me to transform what was plain and ordinary into something magnificent. Every room maintains a distinct character, yet still flows beautifully and effortlessly from room to room. Rooms that once appeared cold and uninviting have now been brought to life enhancing the character and beauty of the interior. All of our friends and family who have seen the newly painted rooms have commented on how stunning they now look. Alicia is incredibly creative and very enjoyable to work with. She also helped organize our furniture as an added bonus! Thank you, Margaret & Jack P., Alameda, CA"

"Alicia's technique of using large color boards versus paint swatches is very effective and efficient. We trusted her color sense and that really accentuated the details of her work. Our Marina flat has been transformed from a dull, uninspired space in a warm, beautiful and color-coordinated home. Thanks Alicia!"
--Cathryn D., San Francisco, CA

"Alicia's sense of color and space is a huge help when planning the look and feel of a home. She has the ability to evolve the home into something that works for the customer and will last longer than the current trend. On top of her expertise, she is always fun to see and work with. I would highly recommend her to everyone."
--Mike Clary, Mike Clary Construction, Contra Costa, CA

"I have found that working with Alicia always turns out being a smooth & productive process! Her ability to show up and follow through with my clients has been refreshing. Being a Realtor, I have had the opportunity to work with many contractors & not all of the experiences have been enjoyable; it is always fortunate to find a reliable & talented tradesperson like Alicia. Alicia has even worked in my own home & I trust her judgment, sometimes over my own, and the end result is always perfection!"
--Mike D'Onofrio, Prudential CA Realty
