Testimonials
“From the first meeting to hanging the last picture, Twyla was creative, smart and immensely helpful. She incorporated furniture and art we loved with new purchases in a seamless manner. When COVID closed stores, she helped me look at purchases online, all of which we love!
Her extensive knowledge of construction and design helped us sidestep awkward door placement or other potential problems. She shopped the looks we loved and delivered, saving us over $20,000.00 without compromising the design we wanted. She met with us often at the site and with the builder. Her opinion was respected by the builder because she knows and understands the process. All the while, she was warm and gracious. She’s a treasure.”

“As a custom builder of over 300 projects, I have had the pleasure of working with Twyla for the last 15 years in many design capacities. From custom home projects, staging models and working with me on personal properties. Twyla’s ability to envision and create functional and appealing spaces while staying on budget is admirable. Her strong sense of style, color, scale and keen eye for detail are exceptional. Her willingness to be a team player is refreshing, and my only regret is that I did not meet her sooner.”

“After moving to Wilmington in 2016, we determined that we needed an interior designer. As we walked from room to room, Twyla helped us coherently express our initial thoughts. Twyla came with a wealth of knowledge, impeccable style ideas, and a tenaciousness to get the job done well and on time. She expertly managed the renovation and design of our home which included working with our contractor. She gave us what we wanted, pushed back on ideas that we had not fully thought through, and pushed us to take some small risks with a few design elements. When she was done, we were not left with a beautiful house, we were left with a beautiful home!”
-Andre & Deanna Boyd
“Our experience with Twyla has been nothing short of incredible with her knowledge, talent and professionalism. If something is good she wants it better. She has a “keen” eye for details and appropriate scale. She worked with us from the ground-up on our custom home. Because of her recommendations, we gained a floor plan that is suited to our lifestyle with some very unique design elements and architectural features that enhanced the style we wanted to achieve.With Twyla’s creativity and design talent we would most highly recommend her. She far exceeded all our expectations!”
-Ruth & William Taylor
“Twyla, we wanted to take a moment to tell you how ecstatic we have been with all of the work you have done in our home from redesigning spaces to remodeling our kitchen. We were floored the first time we came home after you redecorated the downstairs because it was exactly what we were looking for. It is such a pleasure to walk into a space at the end of the day and just feel like you belong there!”
-Bruce & Roberta LaSure
“I had a listing in an upscale neighborhood that had most of the furnishings removed. The house was dark, cluttered in some areas and uninviting. Twyla redesigned spaces in a new and “fresh” way. The rooms immediately felt “more current and brighter”! I could not believe she took what was there and made it beautiful and inviting. This home went under contract within a week after staging! I look forward to working with Twyla on my next listing!”

“My husband and I were reflecting on our relationship with you that spans over a decade and now four homes!!! The first home, a condo at Lee’s Cut. You did everything from designing the renovation to styling the rooms. The design was so fun and relaxing at the same time. When that property was listed, we received competing, escalating offers within days.”
“Our home at Parkside in Mayfaire was such a joy. When it came time to list that home we knew who we would call. The staging was amazing and we accepted an offer in less that 30 days!”
“We then moved to our condo at The Village at Mayfaire. Wow! What a showstopper you designed for us there! We loved it! Within eighteen months, we put that condo back on the market. It had been on the market for two years when we initially purchased the unit. Once you decorated and staged it, we had an offer within 2 weeks! The new owner ended up buying most of the furnishings-the ultimate compliment!!!”
“So now we think we are in our forever home. One thing is for sure, if it is not, you will be our first call!”

“Twyla has helped me with several interior design projects over the last 12 years. I would highly recommend Twyla’s expertise to anyone. Twyla has worked her magic from the front door of our home and throughout. Projects are well-coordinated, on budget and completed on time. She has a way of taking your own personal style adding her touches and the project comes together literally right before your eyes!”
-Suzanne Edwards
“As a custom home builder, I have worked with numerous interior designers. My experience working with Twyla has been exceptional in more ways than one. Her ability to envision floor plans, spaces and clearly communicate with those on the project team are excellent. Twyla has shown extensive overall construction knowledge beyond most interior designers we’ve worked with. She is an excellent listener and is deft at communicating both professionally yet assertively when necessary. She has proven to be an excellent advocate for the Homeowner and I have found her exceptionally pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend Twyla for any design project.”

“THE BEST IN THE GAME! Great for all ages, style, and price ranges! She listens, she’s organized, she’s professional, and she’s creative as they come which is my favorite part! Love being introduced to new concepts that I didn’t even know existed! Highly recommend.”

“Twyla designed and coordinated our master bath remodel. She had ideas (like the tile design and rectangular drain on the side of shower) that we would never have thought to incorporate. Highly recommend!”
-Jean Duncan
“Twyla always knows exactly what I like and how to fix my mistakes if I’ve tried to do something on my own (which I’ve recently sworn I’ll never do again). I’m in the process right now of updating my kitchen and went with every suggestion she made and it’s going to be beautiful. I can’t say enough good things about her work and her as a designer who listens.”
