What clients say...
On two occasions, Carol Ann has used her skills to beautifully and inexpensively decorate for me. The first assignment was a redecorating of a living room in my former home. I was on an extremely tight budget at the time, and yet she was able to completely transform a tired, dark, uninviting room into a cheerful, delightful and practical living space, with minimal investment on my part. She is very talented at completely changing the looks of a room simply by rearranging one's furniture and accessories.
A few years later, I hired Carol Ann to help me choose colors, textures and finishes for our newly-built house. She also helped me purchase and place furniture and accessories for same. My husband and I absolutely love everything that she did.
Carol Ann has an uncanny ability to spot amazing finds in second-hand stores. She discovered and, for a mere $30, purchased for our house an original Frederick Cooper lamp in mint condition (it is probably worth $700!). Her taste is impeccable, yet she is also thrifty, very dedicated to pleasing not only her clients' eyes but also their pocketbooks. I highly recommend her!

After moving into a “new to us” house I found myself lost in trying to figure out how to decorate. I asked Carol Ann to help me decorate my living room, dining room and entry space. She spent a lot of time with me to determine my style since I couldn’t exactly articulate my eclectic style. She listened to my ideas, we looked through magazines and shared inspiration through a private Pinterest board. She has taken my cold, sterile living spaces and made them rich, warm and comfortable. I had a very tight budget to work with and that did not deter her. I have a wonderful mix of custom high end items and budget friendly finds. She has a great eye for color, balance, texture, proportion and room layout. She has also brought a level of sophistication to my home with beautiful artwork! I adore the transitional look she has created for me! I have had friends come over and say that my home was magazine worthy! I cannot recommend her enough!!

I highly recommend Carol Ann Rowland for all of your design needs. She helped me with three very different projects and exceeded my expectations on all three.
First, Carol Ann staged our home of 18 years to sell. The house had never looked better than when she finished and sold in a few months. The house had been listed twice before and never sold. I know her eye for detail made all the difference.
Carol Ann is always up for a challenge. Next, she decorated our vacation rental home in Colorado. Working from my pictures and descriptions she gathered accessories and furniture and made a plan. She then traveled to Colorado and completed the project in four days. It photographed so well our rental company saw an increase in bookings immediately.
The last project was helping us move from our 4,600 sq. ft. family home to our 3,400 empty nest home. She helped throughout our whole moving process by guiding us on what to keep, what to get rid of and what to purchase. She re-styled everything, giving old pieces new purpose and allowing us to update our style without spending a fortune. Within 10 days of moving into our new home, we were ready to host Thanksgiving for our whole family. Carol Ann made what could have been a stressful time fun and exciting. She is so talented and a joy to work with. Carol Ann knows how to make a house a home.

My girls wanted a room makeover. They were tired of mismatching bedspreads, butterflies, and feeling “closed in”. I was tired of the chaos.
Carol Ann sat down with the girls and listened to their ideas. She took time to look through pictures with them and record what they liked. She asked me what my goal for the room was and together we thought through how to solve the organizational issues in their room.
After all the listening and idea gathering she hunted down all the right pieces and in one weekend totally transformed my daughters' bedroom. It went from being a cramped, disorganized, mismatched room to being the prettiest room in our house. She incorporated a lot of white to keep the room feeling fresh and airy, She transformed an old chandelier to a gorgeous eye-catching light fixture, She kept it “girly” with beautifully refinished pink dressers and brought in an element of fun with gold polka dots on the white walls. She softened their wood floors with a classic light-blue rug and surprised us all by framing the closet with white shutters. Under bed storage, new dressers and smaller beds brought organization to the room, while her beautiful design gave my daughters the room of their dreams.
