“I am so grateful that I made the investment to have Anna Beth style my office. She brought such a peaceful spirit to the process and really took the time to understand my business and my vision. Clients and colleagues consistently comment on how much they love the office. Flexible and detail-oriented, Anna Beth really has an amazing eye for design. I highly recommend her and Making Room for Peace for any styling and decluttering projects.”

“Renovating one kitchen and two bathrooms all at once is a daunting task. But with the guidance of Anna Beth and Making Room for Peace, the entire process was… peaceful! While I had some ideas about what I wanted for the space, I needed direction to make everything come together. Paint colors, tile, grout, layout, finishes - Anna Beth was right there with me, making sure we did not make costly mistakes. The result was perfect.

Months after the work has been completed, I still marvel at how bright, fun and functional my kitchen is. The master bath is a gorgeous space. And the guest bathroom has a relaxed elegance and charm. Anna Beth has a unique gift - the ability to see your vision for your home, and gently guide you through the process of realizing that vision with style, function, and of course, peace!”

Praise from a past client

 

“Dear Anna,

I was doing my weekly cleaning in the main part of the house for the first time since you finished the space. I just wanted to reach out and say thank you. As I cleaned, I had the feeling I was looking for. Everything had it’s place and I knew what belonged and what didn’t. It eased my mind and calmed my soul.”

“Anna Beth was recommended to me by someone I really did not know. It was a leap of faith but I felt so comfortable with her from the start. She has a calming quality about her that makes the whole process relaxed. She takes the time to learn what the customer wants and their style and then does research to make it come together. I pushed back on some things in the beginning – she ultimately let me make some different choices with ease. The end result was exactly in tune with my style and looks fantastic! I have received so many compliments on the re-do and the room looks so much bigger! I am 100% pleased with how things turned out and would definitely use her again.”

Andy Lerner

 

“When we moved into our new home two years ago, I had so many design visions swirling. I had a vague idea of how I wanted our home to look, but I just couldn’t tie it all together myself, so I reached out to Anna from Making Room for Peace. Anna took a lot of time getting to know my personal style before she put her plan into action. She really listened to how I wanted our home to look and feel. Anna made sure to place our important treasures in special spots all around our home. I am so grateful to have stumbled upon Making Room for Peace. She has an excellent sense of style AND she has an amazing way of putting all of that style together!”

Rebecca Hurt

 

“Anna Beth’s input and design sense got me ‘unstuck’ and motivated to get these last details done so that our house now feels like a home.”

Carolyn Chandler

 

“Once we decided to expand Cedar Counseling & Wellness, I knew I needed to bring in a professional to help with the interior design. My goal was to create a safe and welcoming space for our clients, to set the stage for the therapeutic process. Just as important, I wanted the therapists to have a comfortable work space that felt like a home away from home. Anna Beth nailed it in both respects. The positive feedback we have received speaks to the work she has done in creating a beautiful, relaxed environment.”

Carrie Nicholes

 

“I was at a point in my life when my house was hopelessly disorganized. When I saw the card for Making Room for Peace on a message board at the Coffee House, I immediately took one. A lovely young lady, Anna Beth demonstrated knowledge and experience throughout our sessions. She explained what she planned to do and the costs associated with it. She offered affordable prices for her work. So, I knew where we would start and what we would do each day. I worked with her so I that I knew what to toss and what to save. She magically turned my kitchen around, using her decluttering tricks to save space. She taught me that I really don’t need everything that I have. As bag after bag was carried out of the house there was more and more space. It was incredible.”

Ann Varacallo

 

“For those who haven’t met Anna Beth, her presence is calming, her ideas simplistic enough not to be overwhelmed by the task at hand but most of all, she is genuine and kindhearted!”

Renea Suttle

 

“I really wish I took a ‘before’ picture of our sun-room, because it was out of control! It had become our storage room and was filled with boxes and random things we don’t use anymore. I’ve been wanting to clean out this room and do some decluttering but every time I thought about it, I would get overwhelmed. I hired Making Room for Peace to come and help me and I cannot thank her enough for her help and expertise! We cleared out the sun-room in one morning and I feel so much calmer being in this space now, instead of stressed and anxious like before. If you are feeling overwhelmed by your house and the amount of stuff piling up, please do yourself a favor and reach out to Making Room for Peace, you will not regret it!”
