WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

“Our biggest challenge was figuring out our floor plan and what would work best for us. We were very frustrated and felt lost in the process. When we hired Dixie, she listened to what we wanted in our home and worked to change our floor plan to make it flow better. Working with Dixie took so much stress off of us and she made our vision even better.”

Billie and Joe Clark

“Our absolute biggest challenge was working with the builders to get information about construction progress. Any time decisions were needed, we were given less than a day to decide. It made us feel very frustrated and pressured to make on the spot decisions on things. We felt we had lost control of the situation. Had Dixie not come in to save our dream home, we would have either walked away with a bad taste for new construction or been stuck with a home we absolutely hated due to the experiences associated with it. We were able to continue the rest of the construction with very little worry or concern, and any of that was immediately mitigated the moment Dixie could tell we were caving in to something we did not necessarily want.

Not only does Dixie alleviate all worry, pressure, and frustration associated with building a home, she also helps you bring to life the visions you have for your dream home. She takes the time to listen to your wants and needs for your spaces, assesses your preferences, and offers amazing suggestions. Everyone has different tastes, which is one thing that always concerns me about asking for others’ opinions, but Dixie uses your own visions and makes them even better while sacrificing absolutely none of your own opinions on the space.”

Rachel and Heath Kuespert

"Working with Dixie took so much stress off of us and she made our vision even better."

"Not only does Dixie alleviate all worry, pressure, and frustration associated with building a home, she also helps you bring to life the visions you have for your dream home."

"Anytime anyone says "you have a beautiful house" we politely thank the person for the compliment, but we know that Dixie is responsible for everything coming together so well."

Toni and Ted Alspach

“I’d just moved and I was overwhelmed, so I took my time to search for the perfect items. The result was that I didn’t make any progress for months. It wasn’t ideal and simply served to make me more overwhelmed. Dixie was really helpful, listened to my desires, and applied her knowledge accordingly. She made me feel very comfortable. I could talk to her about what I wanted and she gave me the pros and cons of my ideas so I could understand the process better and make better decisions.”

Tera D.

“We hired Dixie to help us with our custom built house, using her advice and extensive knowledge for everything from furniture to floor coverings to paint color. Dixie took a lot of time to make sure she understood what *we* liked, and then tailored her suggestions specifically for us. She was always available to help us make tough decisions, and we constantly used her as a sounding board for the huge variety of options that crop up when you're building a house.

Anytime anyone says "you have a beautiful house" we politely thank the person for the compliment, but we know that Dixie is responsible for everything coming together so well. She helped to make the huge task of building a house much more enjoyable, and ultimately provided us with a substantially better result than we would have gotten had we tried to do everything ourselves.”

Toni and Ted Alspach

"The contractor had given us “fair warning” about decisions we’d need to make. Anybody who has 1,001 decisions to make can easily make poor decisions simply because they may not even know the right questions to ask. We were overwhelmed and concerned about making a decision we would end up hating, but having to live with “forever.”
Dixie knows the questions and has seen the consequences of decisions, and provides great counsel and support. With Dixie, we had a design partner — she clearly knew what she was doing, we felt comfortable with her and felt we could communicate openly and directly with her. Every recommendation she made, made sense.

We had a vision about the interior color scheme, but didn’t have any confidence in how to realize it properly. Dixie interpreted our vision for color in a way that’s just terrific. Without exception, everyone who has walked in the house finds it beautiful, as we do every day. In addition, she had sources of things (furniture, window treatments, even framing) that expedited our process and in the case of the furniture saved a tremendous amount of time and money.

Dixie worked with us on a new, custom-built home. She started by reviewing the plans, which she has the expertise to do. She established a good relationship with our contractor and was literally an integral part of the whole process. She made several suggestions about the exterior, which were spot-on. In one instance where we were completely stuck on where to end the stone in our patio area and Dixie solved the issue. Dixie was a terrific partner who exemplified both professionalism and passion, and it was a joy to work with her."

WHY CERTIFICATION MATTERS

NCIDQ CERTIFIED

What does this mean for you?

First the boring answer: It means I earned a four-year degree in interior design and worked for several years in the field before I took and passed a comprehensive, two-day, three-part exam that covered things like building codes, systems and processes, sustainability, etc. I also maintain my certification and keep my skills up to date with continuing education.

What does it actually mean for you?

It means I listen carefully to your wants and needs for how your home should look, feel, and function. Next, I develop a plan for your new home using a proven methodology to combine knowledge, research, and analysis with artistry and creativity. Along the way, I work with your builder to come up with creative solutions to any complications that pop up. In the end, you get a home that is beautiful and works for the way you live.
