What Our Clients Are Saying.
“Elements took our home from something that was boring and didn't reflect us to something truly special. We love vibrant colors and wanted to incorporate more personality into our home but didn't know where to start. Our mish mash of furniture from several previous homes wasn't working for us. We wanted to get it right so we hired Marty and Joanne for an interior redesign of our entire first floor. It was a fun, collaborative project.
The whole Elements team is so warm, friendly and accessible. They quickly understood our artistic tastes and we approved everything they recommended. Their design choices made a big impact. Like painting our white kitchen cabinets a sophisticated aubergine and adding bold, botanical wallpaper. We love our stylish, kid-friendly furniture. Marty was always thinking of ways to delight us, like when she suggested painting our front door yellow. Our neighbors are always telling us how great it looks!”

“Don’t do what we did for 15 years! We struggled to try to make sense of our home’s floor plan, wasting money on furniture and other items that just didn’t fit. Marty figured it out on her first visit. What a relief! We love it all—from the fantastic bar and the striking living room wallpaper to the high-end kitchen finishes. Our friends and family have been blown away by the transformation. Marty is eager to please and wouldn’t rest until we landed on perfect.”

Marty and Joanne from Elements did an amazing job turning our dental office into a modern, welcoming and calm environment. When it was time to renovate our home, we hired them again. Every room on the first floor feels really special. From the beautiful wallpaper and chandelier in our dining room and the natural stone entryway to the new furniture, rugs and wall decor. Our kitchen now has a custom pantry, built-ins and an island. They reconfigured the walls to open up the space and even refreshed the second floor with paint and new hardware. Marty and Joanne’s interior design skills perfectly complement each other. It’s a pleasure to work with them.”

“Interior design is not my skill set, but I know what I like. I trusted Joanne and Marty with updating our two historic homes—our primary residence and our beach house. My husband and I wanted to honor the integrity of the original homes while making them more comfortable and functional. From the high-quality furniture and unique lighting to the dramatic wallpaper, it’s all classic. Our new kitchen in our primary home is everything we could have wanted. At our beach house, they helped with a refresh that brings it up to date without a complete redo. We also loved the big, luxurious rattan lounge chairs that the former beach homeowners had in their living room and Marty tracked down replicas. They were always so gracious and accommodating. We’re thrilled with the results and highly recommend them.”

“Our 70-year-old home needed a complete renovation. Joanne and the Elements team knew just what to do! We started with the worst parts of the home, our dark and dreary family room and basement. Our family room is now a cozy library with custom-designed cabinetry and shelving that display our books and record collection. It beautifully reflects our hobbies and interests. In the basement, she designed a cute, colorful electronics workshop for my husband that he loves. Every room and even our home’s interior has been transformed. Joanne is so energetic and positive. She made decisions easy so I didn’t need to overthink things. And she ensured that deliveries and installations happened on the same day, which took away a lot of stress. Our home finally feels like us.”

“I knew it was time to update our home of more than 20 years but didn’t know where to start. Marty helped us create a home we love. As a professional speaker, I have traveled around the world and stayed at exclusive hotels and venues. I wanted to capture that look and feel. Our family room, which was light and plain, is now moody and cozy with dark, dramatic walls and custom artwork. Our living room was especially dated with cherry wood trim throughout. Marty transformed it by painting the trim a luxurious neutral color. The stunning centerpiece of our kitchen is a wood lighting fixture, designed in Europe. Marty is so easy to work with, full of great ideas and a wizard with colors and fabrics. Everyone who visits our home is amazed by the design and I’m so proud of it.”

“For the first eight years we lived in our home, we entertained once. Thanks to Marty, we now have family and friends over all the time. She turned our basic back deck into a peaceful oasis with resort-quality furniture and fire pit. Our family room, which once resembled a bachelor pad, is so beautiful with cream-colored furniture and fun pops of color. My husband and four kids love being at home and spending time with each other. Marty is so personable and caring and a great collaborator. She gently pushed me to consider what was possible, instead of playing it safe.”
