๐ŸŸ  ๐ŸŸ  ๐ŸŸ  When we lost our home to a flood situation, I googled for names of architects in my area. Brenda's name popped up, so I contacted her. As it turned out, we decided we did not need her services, so a year went by. The project became quite an undertaking, having to demolish most of the home. I again, reached out to Brenda, after a YEAR, and she was just as congenial and willing to work with us, as she was a year prior. That in itself, was impressive. I knew I had a person with passion for helping people with their dreams and inspirations. Brenda has been so helpful, working with my builder; back and forth between him and myself. She immediately went to work by setting up my own Houzz account, labeling it, "Fresh, Clean Lake House", so all sub contractors could retrieve the picture ideas that I chose. I have spent hours on Houzz website and am so grateful for all of the postings and pictures. I want to give back what has been so helpful to me. What is refreshing, is Brenda uses your ideas and tries her hardest to implement and weave them into the project. In turn, if she doesn't think it will work, she will tell you, in an understandable way. I can't wait to post some of OUR pictures!!! We will be part of the "Houzz" club!! ~Sandy (November 2015)๐ŸŸ  ๐ŸŸ  ๐ŸŸ ย
