I won a birthday contest hosted by Décor Haven’s owner
Adrienne on her IG page a few months ago. Now Adrienne and I have known each other
for quite some time, we’re sorority sisters and she’s also one of my close
friends. I entered the contest initially just to make sure that Adrienne had
access to my network without the intention of winning, but I was very surprised
and excited when I won. I’ve seen Adrienne’s work time and time again (look at
her IG) and it shows that she is very passionate about what she does and is
taking the necessary steps to ensure that this part-time business will become a
full-time venture.
The prize included an online consultation of a small
space to be decorated, an online portfolio of that space and 30 mins of
staging. From the announcement of winning to the actual staging everything was
very professional and done in a timely manner. I chose my entryway to be
designed as it’s a bit unwelcoming. I described my style to Adrienne during the
consultation and provided items that I currently had that could be used in
decorating the space. Because I’ve seen Adrienne’s work I didn’t have any
restrictions on the space. I was very surprised when Adrienne mentioned that my
prize also included $100 worth of decorations. After the initial consultation,
Adrienne provided me with the online portfolio that mapped out her vision. Once
I viewed the portfolio, we decided on a date to complete the work.

Adrienne arrived with tools in tow and the additional items that she purchased to pull my space together which included a new colorful rug, candle, dreamcatcher, catch all dish, and a faux plant. During the staging, Adrienne kept me informed every step of the way with her progress. My newly designed entryway describes my personality as well as the overall vibe of my home; warm, eclectic and unapologetic. I cannot wait for my friends and family to come over and see her work in person.
When in doubt contact a professional...

Although I won this contest, I will be reaching out to Adrienne for assistance with other areas of my home. Because of the quality of work and professionalism provided by Adrienne, I’d recommend her over and over again. Join me in supporting local small businesses run by women.
