“When Rhett arrived, I had collected a lot of stuff – family pieces, some hand-me-downs from friends and a few things I’d picked out for myself. But other than putting the bed and dresser in the bedroom and the sofa in the living room, I didn’t really know what to do with any of it.
“Rhett sees everything with a fresh eye and a willingness to mix styles and add colorful elements. She used my stuff – we didn’t buy a thing – and she made this tiny condo look like a home where I could enjoy living. And I did enjoy it.
“Later when the condo was on the market, several agents said how comfortable and pretty the place was. I think Rhett’s work was the defining factor in a quick sale because buyers could see what it would be like to live there and it looked like coming home.”
