Praise for Alice Stanford / Design Focus

“Alice, you are a very unassuming woman with an unusual gentleness and directness. Yes, and still letting it be OK for me to have my opinion! Thank you.”
Susan McConneloug "Alice worked MAGIC with our existing furniture. She removed the clutter, repositioned some items and added key accents where they were needed. She gave our house a clean, new look with a minimum of effort. Though she works quickly, Alice has a calm, wonderful approach. We loved working with her and would recommend her highly...not only for staging your home for sale, but for just giving your home a fresh appearance without having to totally redecorate." Paula and Jeff Skov “To be invited into the vortex of your creativity is an honor and a treat. Thank you so much. I followed your directions to get pictures wired and put up all the pictures you asked for. My room, like the rest of the house, looks terrific and most functional. When Mary tells me to go to my room, I skip with joy.” Peace - Mary and Cyr Miller "I purchased $6,000 worth of new furniture for my living room, and when it arrived I was very disappointed. I then spent 3 months buying accessories trying to fix it with no success. I called Alice and she transformed the room and tied it all together. She rearranged some furniture and painted and brought in some art. My room is so beautiful now, and I'm thrilled beyond words." Carolin Guerrero "Alice helped me move in with my partner and blend both our ideas and "strong" personalities into a lovely home which reflects both of our unique tastes. Through this process she helped us make decisions about what goes where and what to keep and what things to let go. She went shopping with me to select paint color, carpet and accessories. During the actual move she managed furniture and art placement and she organized paper and clutter. The end result was an entirely fresh look. I loved working with Alice and I was 100% delighted with her work and process!" Caren F. Clauss |
"When I was about to tear my hair out because of the chaos in my house, I called Alice. She calmly and quickly restored order and left a feeling of serenity. Better still, she left a system in place to help me keep everything going smoothly. I love " wardrobe days"----Alice finds so many outfits in my closet that I didn't know I had, and gives me suggestions for just what to buy so that everything works together."
Wendy Levison "Alice is a gem! I so appreciate her ability to use my furniture and belongings in innovative ways creating beauty and order." Lynda Brinn "Alice is amazing! I am more organized at the end of our sessions than I ever imagined I could be. I have more fun working with Alice than I have with many people when we are at play!" Roberta Rosen "I loved your whirlwind visit. Not only am I thrilled with your ideas, everything you did makes me love my things more. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and opening my thoughts to endless new ideas and new ways to view familiar objects. You are an absolute genius!" Barbara Shankwiter "Alice is able to reinvent any living space to enhance the best features in your home! Her vision and design ideas for staging helped us prepare our home for sale so that prospective buyers would see it at its best. Alice is a true professional that I would highly recommend. The enthusiasm that she brings to her clients makes the experience a pleasure!" Anne and Bill Falk "Alice has the ability and talent to see a current living space and envision it in a brand new way. She can then transform it by creating order, beauty, and even finding new functions for the space and items." Phyllis Peacock |
