A room for Nelson

by sharoninelson1

Peggy Berk is a genius! We won a contest to have our nursery made over by Similac and Peggy was assigned to us. We had never worked with a designer before so we were a bit apprehensive.

As soon as we met her, we were right at home. Her warm personality, charming wit and sense of humor really made the redesign an adventure. Our baby is 8 months old and we wanted a room that was clearly a boy's room that was also educational at the same time in a fun way. We chose a nautical design as it was colorful, interesting and I am a decendent of Admiral Nelson of the British Navy.

At first I didnt know what to expect as I was unsuccessful trying to find the materials on my own when the theme was not as popular. Peggy pulled the whole "look" together in a few months and easily coordinated pieces, fabric and even found me a wonderful seamstress that put the finishing touches on Peggy;s signature design. I wholeheartedly recommend Peggy for your next redesign venture. You will not be disappointed.

Best regards,

Sharon

• Pros: The coolest room you will ever see for a baby
• Cons: someday he will grow up and change it

Bravo!

I highly tout this New York designer. I am an architect from the U.K. just recently relocated to the states on a part time basis. I had begun the process with another designer but it became obvious to me that she had her style and I had mine. I hired Peggy Berk after a couple of weeks of false starts with the first designer. Peggy is all business and got us off to a fast start. She is fabulous with color and paint and fabrics. She is very practical at the same time as she is amazingly creative and came up with absolutely gorgeous and very innovative ideas for bespoke items. I am so excited and very impatient - I can't wait for everything to arrive and be in place. Bravo, Peggy, bravo!

• Pros: creative, innovative, practical
• Cons: none

wonderful experience A+

by bdavid11

My partner and I had a wonderful experience with this designer. She is full of great ideas and even our painter kept remarking how wonderful her color choices were. We had a lot of disparate funishings, some of them we wanted to keep. She pulled everything together beautifully and is great at solving problems that had my partner and I baffled for months. She is also a warm, engaging and generous individual with a great sense of humor. We always looked forward to our appointments with her. When we went to the design cener with her, every showroom we walked into greeted her with smiles and the salespeople couldn't have been more eager to help. It was obvious that Peggy has their respect as well as ours. They made us feel like VIPs and what might have been a chore turned into a number of wonderful and very productive afternoons . Peggy clearly enjoys her profession and the time she spends with clients and that made the whole process that much more enjoyable for us as well. A+ all around.

• Pros: A+ for design, A+ for service, A+ for making it so enjoyable
