TESTIMONIALS | Margot

Testamonials

A veteran of interior design, Margot studied at the New York School of Interior Design and was mentored by renowned designer Pamela Banker before founding her own business. She has spent most of her career designing in Southport, Connecticut, and the eastern coastal states.

Margot approaches each home with a client-first focus and is well respected for her efficiency, professionalism, and attention to detail. Clients appreciate that she makes an effort to save and restore the architectural character of a home, and preserve objects that have meaning.

"Margot guided my taste. She can now identify better what I will like than I can myself. She has a gift of understanding color before it’s gone on the wall or furniture. She will bring out furniture from New York, two and three times, until we get it just right. I recommend her all the time."

"I have worked with Margot for close to 25 years and have found that she is a master at seeing the whole picture in any project. She has a great eye for color and texture and finds creative solutions for problem areas. We quickly became good friends and have had lots of fun and laughs over the years!"

"Downsizing from a large home to something half the size was a daunting task made easier with Margot's help. She measured our funishings and the new spaces into which we hoped to fit them. With her keen eye for scale and cheerful color palate we now have a house which we adore returning to every day."

"Margot is a pleasure to work with. I have worked with her for 10 years-in turning a brand new house into a comfortable home, and then onto updates and improvements ever since. She has been invaluable on countless projects big and small. Her good taste and experience in design and sourcing furnishing has spared me from going it alone. Her attention to detail in supervising tradesmen has been a particular godsend. For those of us short on time or patience to manage domestic projects it is comforting to know that it will turn out fine, because of Margot is on it."

"Margot and I have worked together many time in three separate houses. It has always been a learning process as she guides me through the many choices with patience and thoughtful explanations of possibilities. Margot is a JOY to work with and we ultimately have a lot of fun with whatever project we are working on, whether it be small or large. The latest project was our move from a large home to a condo. She measured and placed the furniture which made the move with us, and helped place and hang all of our wonderful paintings. Then we went on to the decorating part of the move; paint choices, wallpaper, curtains, lighting fixtures, kitchen counter and backsplash changeouts. Effortless process and the highest of professional talent! Margot is the complete package."

"After 35 years in a 3,400 square foot house to a 1,700 square foot condominium was for me an enormous task fraught with difficult decisions and numerous other issues. A house filled with antiques, art and many other keepsakes did not deter Margot in the least in helping determine what to keep and what to let go. Finally, and perhaps most imporatnt of all, I found her to be very easy to work with."
