Review by a customerin Buxton, ME Project: Interior Decorator
Janice came and asked all kinds of question, we discussed what my expectations were and she put together a color scheme that just blew me out of the water. As we painted and used the darker color I had my doubts if it would work or not. I"m very please that I did finish with that color. It brought everything together in a very subtle manner.. I like what we did..She has a great ability to see what it will look like..

Review by Charlotte W.in South Portland, ME Project: Upholster Furniture
Janice Bethune was an excellent advisor and "go to" person for my upholstery job. I'd just moved from San Francisco and had a sofa and a chair that needed work. We decided on a very expensive ultra suede. Janice is professional and helpful with recommendations. I was nervous because the fabric was expensive and I realized mistakes would cost. She picked up the two pieces at the arranged time and kept me in the loop about her progress. When she returned the pieces they were unbelievably beautiful and well done! My partner and I are very happy with the results and highly recommend Janice. She also did bedroom curtains that are amazing!

They did several pieces of upholstery and did our windows, over different times. Excellent work. We have gotten complements from friends on the work.
