“For those of us who have undertaken major renovations of a home you know how much work is involved. Even if you have a great contractor, you still serve as the clerk of the works; now add doing it “remote control” when you are in the northeast and the home is in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Fortunately for us a gentleman at a tile store recommended Marsha - that in itself is unusual. In fact, every supplier with whom we worked recommended Marsha; also unusual, Marsha, the general contractor and his subs all got along! We’ve seen the dueling egos of builders and decorators. Instead, these two problem solved together and never put us in the middle. And they proactively sought solutions to problems before even bringing them to our attention.

Marsha saved us large amounts of time and money by identifying quality suppliers and negotiating exceptional prices. Paying her by the hour for her time and professional advice was so much better for us than paying a percentage of full retail costs for furniture, materials and labor.

Finally, she is not only a talented decorator but she is also a delightful, classy human being. ”

“Marsha Schaffner, of Interiors by Marsha, has been our designer for the past 3 years. During that time, she has exceeded our expectations again and again by showing her innate ability to size up our living space and define our tastes and lifestyle! She encouraged us to widen our horizons and use our imagination to the fullest. This led to a perfect interpretation of our desire to have a beautiful home.
When we decided to make Florida our permanent residence, we found a perfect apartment in North Palm Beach. She crafted a warm space using tones that were soothing and restful. She added hints of gold and the cosmopolitan feel was exactly what we set out to achieve.

One year later, we sold our New Jersey home and purchased a magnificent apartment overlooking the Hudson River! This new residence now reflects a modern Art Deco feel, in hues of silver, blacks and golds. It is absolutely splendid and another perfect interpretation of what we were seeking in a home. Once again, she captured our spirit and desires in her design.

Marsha has a unique ability to listen and respond to her clients. She infuses their personalities in the design and that makes her appeal, so, well, appealing!”

“Marsha Schaffner of Interiors by Marsha is a homeowner’s guardian angel. Our dilemma: a newly purchased three bedroom condo that needed to be totally redone from the walls to all the contents - and we were 1200 miles away! Marsha came to our rescue. We first met to discuss our needs and tastes. Marsha did not try to push her penchants on us, nor did she try to use a pre-planned decorator’s formula. She listened to us and helped us integrate and refine our ideas into a harmonious design that flowed comfortably throughout our home. Our décor is truly based on our “conceptual sketch” but Marsha added detail and her creative flair turning it into a masterpiece.
Not only was Interiors by Marsha an integral part of the planning of our home but also an on-site supervisor of the project. Marsha helped select, negotiate and interact with the various contractors, and she was on the premises to help evaluate the work and initiate mid-course corrections as needed in our absence. We could never have completed this apparently over-whelming project without Marsha, and we now have a home that we love, we enjoy and am proud to show.

“It has been my pleasure in getting to know you as a professional and as a person these past couple years! We have worked, tirelessly, on three projects together. And, you never disappoint! In fact, you continue to amaze and dazzle me with your talent and level of professionalism.

I have worked with several Interior Designers in my career over the past two decades. Not one has shown the level of commitment and dedication to the client as you have. You not only invest time, you invest yourself! And, you always manage to give the client their own unique signature!

As you know, the key to success in any interior design project, is to “know” your client. This is something you continue to astound me at how well you do know your client!

Marsha, it is with great pride and confidence to recommend you! And, I look forward to partnering with you on many more projects!”
