Our Recent Client Testimonials

"On our first excursion to North Carolina to buy furniture, we found it very easy with the guidance and expertise of Melissa Breden. She was able to streamline the process by eliminating wasteful time by pinpointing the stores that catered to our styles and tastes.

She was also very helpful in conceptualizing our empty room to become a tasteful, well balanced and high quality experience. Melissa introduced us to new ideas like the way she combined fabric patterns. For example she used a pattern from the new sofa to become a throw pillows on an adjacent chair. Working with Melissa takes the insecurity out of shopping and buying furniture for you all."

Thanks Melissa!

"The Lodges at Elkmont needed a look that matched the rustic feel of our upscale condo models. Melissa Breden came in and really took the guesswork out of getting these projects finished tastefully, and within budget. From hardware, lighting, furniture and window treatments, she coordinated our project from start to finish. Melissa has a pleasant attitude, and really knew how to bring all the aspects of our models into what we envisioned them to be. They have definately helped us to make some sales!

We would recommend Hickory Designer to anyone, commercial or residential, who is looking to have a real professional who can truly provide outstanding results!"

Webster’s New World Dictionary defines Interior Decoration as the art of business of decorating and furnishing the interiors of houses, or offices. In my opinion, an Interior Decorator has to have passion drive and desire for making a positive impact on one’s home or office. Melissa Breden has this inner passion and extraordinary vision for decorating her client’s homes.

With this statement in mind, I would to make some comments regarding Melissa and would like to state Vision is her greatest resource. In addition to her passion and vision, she brought with her a high energy level, great impact, and outstanding work standards to her creative decorating.

In short, she has demonstrated excellent creativity, sound judgment, and the motivation to work at a job until it is finished to her personal satisfaction.

"Melissa recently helped us shop for furniture. She was very helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. She arrived early, had done her homework, and helped us to meet our goals quickly and efficiently. We really enjoyed working with her and would definitely recommend her."

Melissa, I just wanted to drop you a note and thank you again for all your help last Thursday and Friday. It was a whirlwind trip, but very successful! Without your help, we would have been lost and not been able to accomplish half of what we were able to do . you were wonderful!

I'm now anxiously awaiting all the "goodies". I just think that everything is going to be perfect and I continue to look at the pictures of the Master Bedroom and couldn't be happier with our choices.

We look forward to working with you again!

Just wanted to thank you again for helping us yesterday and really appreciated you putting us in touch with Mehdi, who was probably one of the best sales people that I have dealt with lately, or in a long time. Everything you said he would be. We valued your advise and having your input on our purchases. I promise you that when the furniture comes in I will send you some pictures.

Happy New Year and all the best to you and your family in 2009!

Sincerely, - Requested to be Anonymous
