  • "This is the first time I used an interior decorator and the experience was great! PEG WAS SO EASY TO GET ALONG WITH, SHE WAS ON TOP OF EVERYTHING. She answered emails and texts in a timely manner. We plan on having her back to help work on our pool area. Definitely two thumbs up. THANK YOU Peg.”

  • “Throughout my home remodel, I hired many professionals, but I wish more were like Peg and Kate. They assisted me with various aspects of my project, including the complete redesign of my kitchen layout, reconfiguration of my entryway, selecting paint colors, and choosing cabinet hardware, among many other tasks.

    If you're considering working with a designer, I highly recommend Balancing Act. Peg and Kate are exceptional!”

    —Harry R.

  • “Moving to Florida for retirement, I knew I wanted to give my condo a brand new facelift. I even said to Peggy when we first met….…”I’m wanting my place to have the “Wow” factor”. She got right on it…creating 3 different “mood boards” to help me visualize what could be possible. I loved her taste in furniture, her sense of balance in a room and hearing what (specifically) MY vision was. She’s probably one of the most detailed & organized people I’ve ever worked with (professionally). Excellent communicator, has great time management & is very “task driven”.
    End result…..my condo looks more beautiful than I could ever imagine. I definitely got my “Wow factor!” Highly recommend!”

    —Beth C.

  • "After purchasing a very blandly decorated home, I needed help with color schemes and interior decorating. Peg did a fantastic job helping me out remotely with just some photos of my rooms. She was responsive, knowledgeable and had awesome ideas. She made the process easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend Balancing Act if you’re looking for new, fresh ideas for your space.”

    —Rick H

  • “Peg helped us select paint colors and flooring, as well artwork, rugs and decor. She made the process easy and we LOVE the results! We will be using her for our kitchen renovations next.”
