Lovely review from one of our wonderful clients…

Our relationship with Ménage Interiors began almost 6 years ago when we purchased a new home. Gail and Paulette greatly assisted us in wading through the many, many tile, carpet, floor, accessory choices offered by the builder along with numerous price points. Gail and Paulette helped us to work through all these decisions. Hiring Ménage was a great decision for us.  We avoided hours of work, arguments, second guessing and costly mistakes. After everything was completed, Gail kept in touch with us and even provided us with several great hints for furnishings that would match our decor.
