"My husband and I are thrilled with our final product. Wendy's attention to detail, and elegant touches made our home spectacular. We were especially pleased with how she quickly uncovered our individual styles and quirks, and infused our personalities into everything that she did. Her extreme attention to detail and follow-through were appreciated. We lived in
Germany while building our home, and Wendy worked flawlessly with us, and our builder helping to maximize our time as we made selections. We were impressed by the quality of her subcontractors, each one was great to deal with, and delivered a great product. Our only regret is that we didn't engage her earlier in our process. We highly recommend Wendy, and would not think twice about working with her again on a future project."

“Wendy at Homestyles by Wendy has provided us with excellent advice and service. When we first moved to the Lake Norman area seven years ago a friend recommended Wendy as a good designer. We needed a lot of help since we needed to totally refurnish our new lake house. Wendy listened to us and understood that we wanted a pulled together but very casually elegant lake house that our family and friends could have fun in without worrying about damaging our furniture with children, dogs or wet swim suits. Our house turned out to be very warm and inviting and guest after guest commented on what a perfect lake house we had.
Two years ago we decided to downsize into a custom, smaller home for retirement and Wendy assisted us from start to finish with all color and design choices. We are a very casual family, and have a beautiful home due to Wendy's ability to listen to our family's desire to have a lake house that is truly livable.
Wendy has assisted with almost all of our furniture, hardwood, carpet and rug choices, and saved us a great deal by recommending economical choices that are still comfortable and stylish. Last but not least, she has helped us with several ‘comfort’ solutions for our family in that I am small and married to a big guy. It has been hard to find furniture that both of us are comfortable in, but Wendy has assisted us in finding furniture perfectly suited for both of us!”

"Wendy has been my designer for over ten years and three homes. She is very quick to pick up on 'your style' and although she will give you new ideas she doesn't try to push her style on you. She has been wonderful using the items that I have and adding new items to update my decor. After three houses she knows me so well that if I need a new item I call her and she can bring me a few choices and I love all of them. I don't have time to shop and even when I do find time I get it home and somehow it doesn't fit. Once I brought a new accessory home and my husband said "Did you run that by Wendy". By now he knows I can't do it alone and Wendy is our choice for help. I used to think I couldn't afford a designer. Now I know I can't afford not to use one!"

"We have lived in a our wonderful new house for just 3 months and already have it beautifully furnished thanks to Wendy. We moved here from the UK and wouldn't have known where to start in looking for the right furniture. Wendy spoke with us at length about our tastes and the look we wanted to create, took away our thoughts and came back with some fantastic ideas for our children's bedrooms, living room and family room. She has a superb way of choosing items that we like but would not necessarily have selected ourselves. You can see for yourselves from the photos how great it all looks. Additionally and importantly we feel that we've actually saved money with Wendy because of the great relationships she has with her suppliers. We cannot recommend her highly enough."

“Wendy is remarkable! Her ideas, color and design are phenomenal. I would never trust anyone else with the design of My home! She is the BEST! And as a matter of fact she also helped coordinate our outside colors.”
