“The ladies at Balancing Act are first class. I was hesitant to hand over the important task of making my newly acquired $4.5M waterfront house feel like a home - to strangers! But after the first time meeting them, hiring them on the spot due to their wonderful energy and ideas, and beginning to work together, they became more like friends and my interior decoration is beyond anything I could have EVER achieved on my own. Hire them with absolute confidence! They will exceed your expectations.”

“Wow! Natalie and Peggy are phenomenal! I could not recommend them more. They were with us every step of the way on our Condo project and they were invaluable. They listened to what we wanted and delivered exactly what we asked for!! If you are looking for the best design team, look no further!”

“Best ever. I’ve used 3 designers in my life and Peggy along with their other designers are the best. Great work! Accountable! Integrity! And fast! Even more than fair on pricing.”

“We hired Peg with Balancing Act to oversee our condo renovation and assist with selecting new furnishings as well. Her expertise in selecting materials and furnishings was outstanding, and she maintained excellent communication throughout! We live out of state, so having her team available for site visits and working with contractors & vendors was invaluable. Her creative eye and attention to detail made this entire process much more manageable.

I want to highlight how easy, supportive, kind, and gentle Peg always is!! She truly shined when handling unexpected contractor issues—she resolved conflicts promptly and did her best to keep our project on track despite contractor delays. Highly recommend Peg to anyone seeking a designer who delivers exceptional results even when challenges arise.

Thank you from my ❤️ Peggy”

“I’ve worked with Balancing Act since 2021. Thus far they’ve done the interior designing for roughly 5000 square feet including the 2 playrooms, living room, Florida lower level, bedrooms, bathrooms (1 of which was a complete redesign), formal dining, outdoor spaces, to the breakfast nook - essentially allof my home. From color schemes, furniture, to dinnerware, accessories and towels - they’ve done it all. There’s truly no detail too small. The communication is 10/10 - some things I want to be more involved in and others, I look to their expertise and let them use their judgment and I’ve never been disappointed.

I will also speak to their service fee - you can’t get better. I’ve researched virtually all of St. Pete’s offerings and the value Balancing Act provides outweighs the expense considerably. Balancing Act unequivocally knows how to balance functionality and beauty and most importantly, has truly made a house my home and I’m forever grateful for them.”

“I rarely give reviews. Balancing Act is the exception - that tells you how amazing this company is.

From the moment my husband and I met the owner of Balancing Act, Peg, we knew we were in the hands of a true professional. She is an exceptional designer who seamlessly translated our vision into reality. Her passion for design and meticulous attention to detail were evident from the start. She took the time to understand our vision (Modern Coastal) for our newly purchased home and then transformed it into a reality that surpassed our wildest dreams. From the initial consultation to the final touches, Peg demonstrated remarkable expertise, creativity, and unwavering professionalism. She is not only a gifted designer but also a skilled communicator. Throughout the entire process, Peg maintained open communication, keeping us informed of every step and ensuring our satisfaction remained paramount. Her responsiveness and flexibility were invaluable.

The results of Peg’s work are nothing short of breathtaking. Our home has now been transformed into a haven of style, comfort, and sophistication. I cannot recommend Peg highly enough. She is a true master of her craft and a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for a designer who can transform your home into a dream space, look no further than Balancing Act. You will not be disappointed!”

“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!”

“We recently worked with Balancing Act to reconfigure our office space, and the results were outstanding! Their innovative ideas transformed our layout, making it both more functional and visually inspiring. Balancing Act brought a fresh perspective, maximizing the useability of the space and improving flow in ways we hadn’t considered. Their presentations of different layouts, mood boards, and room renderings really helped us to visualize the possible outcomes so that we could make confident decisions that helped us to move forward with the design process. Working with Peggy and her team was smooth, collaborative, and professional from start to finish! Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their workspace!”
