Testimonials


I highly recommend Debby Busse! She helped me organize several areas of my home that had become unmanageable, to say the least! A busy professor and mother of two young sons, I had set aside numerous things (including clothes; paperwork; toys; books; and many miscellaneous items) with the plan to organize them on my own later. However, that “later” turned into “much, much later” and it got to the point where my desk and a side table was covered and unusable; a portable crib that my sons had outgrown was filled to the brim with stuff and blocking a storage closet; and the storage closet was so packed and unorganized that I dreaded attempting to open it as things would fall out on me!  Debby was energetic, upbeat, enthusiastic, and encouraging! She was also very patient, understanding of my situation, and non-judgmental. She demonstrated significant knowledge of organizational theory and knew how to translate it into practical actions. Debby turned a nightmarish mess into a fun and hopeful organizing experience! She motivated me to break bad habits that lead to disorganization, and I’m thrilled that we can now use our areas of our home that I’d previously given up on when I was overwhelmed by the mess. Do yourself and your loved ones a huge favor and hire Debby to work wonders for you. You won’t regret it! Happy organizing

I recently hired Debby Busse to organize my home office, as I am starting a home based business and was converting an office/storage area into a working office space. Debby did an excellent job of first listening to my requirements and then developed a plan to organize and set-up the space not just to accomodate my current needs, but also anticipated future growth. She was very professional and systematically organized the space; with a goal of utilizing existing items whenever possible, rather than automatically recommending the purchase of additional materials. The result was an office I am proud of, which is extremely useful and comfortable. I would definitely recommend Debby for all organizing projects, regardless of how small or large.

I would like to recommend Debby Busse for any home design or renovation projects you may be planning.  Debby has an eye for interior design, while thinking of everything practical and aesthetic.  Her fine arts background shows through because she has an acute sense of color and proportion that is apparent in her work.  You will be very happy with the results of your project if you use Great Spaces for consulting before and during your design or renovation process.

We strongly recommend Debby Busse for your pre-renovation consultating needs.  She assisted us with improving and updating the appearance and functionality of our interior spaces.  Her imagination, creativity, great eye for shape, color, and form, attention to detail, and ability to balance practicality with aesthetics are unparalleled.  She was an absolute joy to work with, she exhibited great sensitivity to our requirements, and was the facilitator of our own personal style.  She helped us make decisions prior to purchasing so that we got everything just right the first time.  We look forward to working with her again on our next project.

Hi Debby,

I'm following up to let you know we are very pleased with the paint color you helped us choose for our lower level bathroom. It looks great.

Also, thanks for the good ideas you offered us on Monday when you stopped by. We're moving forward with the carpet selection and are working to clear out more of the clutter. We will be in a state of disruption until the floors have been refinished the end of July, but your suggestions are helping me focus on what I can being doing to make things better as we patiently wait for the bathrooms and floors to be completed. We're excited to see it all come together.

Thanks again .. And have a wonderful weekend.

Debby does excellent work and is dedicated to her profession.  She possesses the ability to turn any room into a work of art.  Debby is a person of unquestionable integrity and a great credit to her profession.

We really enjoyed Debby's visit to our house to give us advice on selecting colors for the walls, and general tips on remodeling. She immediately understood what we were looking for, and helped us make the best use of our space. She is very professional and knowledgeable. We highly recommend her.

Debby was very helpful in picking colors for my living room walls and hallway and in coordinating with my furniture. My furniture didn't come out as I envisioned and I really needed someone who could advise on picking right colors and additional furniture. Debby not only helped in picking colors but visited my home second time without any charge since I was unsure with the colors on the wall that was painted. As a result she guided me in giving a new look to my home and I couldn't be happier. Thank you again for being so awesome ! I highly recommend Debby!

I had not painted my upstairs bedrooms in 30 years. Debbie came to my home on short notice and provided the exact professional advice that I needed in selecting colors to bring the rooms into the 21st Century. Their appearance is both vibrant and inviting; I whole heartedly recommend Ms. Busse's advice for your redecorating needs.

Debby was a great help! Provided great paint color suggestions to update our kitchen cabinets and hallway. Super helpful for fresh, cost saving ideas and honest feedback.

While undecided as to selecting a paint color that would work within a large area with diverse natural lighting, pre-renovation consultant & colorist Debby Busse provided just the expertise to help me decide what would not only work beautifully with any light throughout the day, but also what color choices would integrate well with my current furnishings & window treatments. Ms. Busse is very enjoyable, as well, & interested in how you live day to day, in order to select the best renovation for your individual needs. A pleasure to work with!
