“Between my wife and myself, I affectionately nicknamed Anna as Pixie-She sprinkles “pixie dust” over our house via colors, fixtures, and design ideas. I met Anna years ago at the Charlotte Home & Garden show(s) where her talents were awarded with both plaques and admiration from the visitors. Based on what she did and how well she did it, we knew we wanted her to guide us through our home building process.

While COVID, supply chain issues, GC communication issues, and weather created obstacles, Anna was never an issue. She was a driving force to ensure we had a home that met our wants and needs. She was superbly on top of the selection process and provided documents to the builder with blazing speed. She supplied selections, item numbers, availability of existing stock, and pertinent details such as installation instructions well in advance of any deadlines. She supplied the same information to the GC as well as the installers so we were all on the same page. She even had to supply the same information to the builder when they could not produce/recall the information. Anna “picked up the slack” created by others.

Anna had our back at all times. She was present as needed during meetings with the builder. She inspected the progress as it developed and headed off potential issues as they began to emerge. In other words, she was engaged and proactive.

While she is flexible and accommodating in the design space, she is also precise when needed. Things ordered and installed were pretty close to, if not so, PERFECT. No hiccups on her part. AT ALL!!!

Building a home can be strenuous and enough to send you to the therapist. It’s true. In our case? Without a doubt. Two things I/we are certain of though-
1-We love the way our home looks. It has dashes of brilliance throughout and it makes us smile, thanks to Pixie and her “dust”.
2-Great Designs 4 U helped us to “make it to the other side” of this journey.

Anna, we are eternally grateful for what you did for us!”
