Her instincts about what works for her clients are 'spot on.' It just makes so much sense to team up with a talented and gifted decorator like Merry.especially when you work and have family obligations. From the complete rennovation of our Northern Neck, Virginia beach house in 2015 to our newest home on Sanibel Island in Florida, Merry is consistely superb. Merry also transformed my professional office on Capitol Hill to an inviting and comfortable space. She transformed our large Capitol Hill Victorian into a 'turn-key' property that was featured in a magazine. She is a pure delight to work with and other professionals love working with her, too. She can find any piece of furniture, any fabric, any tile or combination of. Working with Merry meant no more waiting for the decorator to get back to you. She knows the most practical approach and she won't choose the most expensive option if she knows of a better alternative. The price for a competent professional saves time and money. Decorating used to be a tiring chore before teaming up with Merry. Transforming ideas and wishes into the perfect result is Merry's signature. And she works efficiently and is able to change direction if I'm not liking something. Her patience and keen listening can translate my description of what I envision to a beautiful drawing that she e-mails to me within a day of our meeting. They would bring 'books' and leave the rest to me. Prior to working with Merry, we worked with other decorators who were tentative at best and never really 'got' the look I wanted. When the project is finished, it will surpass your dreams and it is never 'cookie cutter.' It will be your style.

Merry is a wealth of information and she will work within a client's budget. I know what I like but I don't know how to put it altogether seamlessly. Another great quality that we love about her is that she will give you her opinion as she guides you through the painstaking task of bringing it all together. Merry is the ultimate perfectionist and she is reliable and trustworthy. No project is too big or too small for her. Merry has overseen the renovation of 8 properties of ours since we met her in 2005. These qualities enable her to 'capture' and 'define' the individual style of her clients. “Merry Powell is a combination of experience, knowledge, creativity, and sheer brilliance.
