“I can highly recommend Ivy & Co. Lauren was great to work with. She gave a fresh perspective on my space offering a variety of options to make my thoughts and ideas a reality. She followed up with an email detailing what we had discussed and gave me options as to how much involvement I would like to have in the transformation. She was very respectful and responsive throughout the process.”- Rachel (Ellington, CT)
“I highly recommend Ivy & Co. Lauren was easy to work with and quick! I have trouble with what looks good but I know what I like. She made it easy for me by giving me just a couple options that would work together. She transformed my 30 year old living space with a comfy brand new vibe!!” -Lori (Ellington, CT)
