Testimonials

"In the past, I'd read lots of books and felt totally confused about Feng Shui. Was our bed facing northwest, southeast? Did we have to knock out walls?
Whatever! Basically I figured our home was a feng shui nightmare and gave up. Then I met Cheryl Grace, the "Dr. Phil" of feng shui. She did not come bearing smudge sticks or crystals. Instead, she comes in like the fire element, gangbusters and ready to help me to take charge of my home's 'chi.' We did not knock down walls but instead moved furniture, rugs and repurposed (her term for taking an item that isn't working in one location and putting it somewhere else) all through my home. When we were finished, I could feel a different energy flow...like magic. The crowning moment came that evening when we had guests and they said "we just love your home...it has such a nice feel
to it.” They could feel the magic too!"

“When I called Cheryl I was a bit of a skeptic when it comes to feng shui, but at 45 I was open to trying a new approach, particularly in generating some positive activity in my love life.  I had been unable to find my soul mate after searching for many, many years.  As Charlotte said in Sex in the City, “I’ve been dating since I was 15, where is he?”  Cheryl swept through my house, suggesting furniture relocation and enhancements, designed to bring positive energy into my life.  Particularly poignant was her comment about my treasured Janis Joplin picture in my love and relationship area, “she was a drug addict and alcoholic, single and she’s dead.”  We need to move her to a different space.  None of Cheryl’s ideas were costly or prohibitive.  I took her advice, moved what I could, uncluttered some areas, and ran out to a few stores to buy some inexpensive accents and pictures.  Ten weeks later, I met Larry.  We were the same age, with the same goals and values.  Four months after that, he moved in with me, and one year to the day he asked me to marry him.  Thank you Cheryl for your great energy and matchmaking abilities!”

 “Watching Cheryl give a speaking presentation leaves me with one thought: why isn't this woman on TV?  I expect to see Cheryl right next to Oprah one day. She's captivating, funny and rich with wisdom and good insights.  Cheryl's amazing wisdom comes through, not only in her feng shui consulting, but also in her understanding the web of life.  Whether it's a design challenge or a life strategy, Cheryl's insights have proven to be a God-send for me!”

 “When my wife announced we were having our house Feng Shuied - I decided to stick around and supervise.  No crystals or 'woo-woo'. Cheryl Grace made changes in my office that made sense - organizational ideas that put my systems in place. I have to admit 'this stuff may work, my business has increased.”

 “This is to thank you for doing such a wonderful job staging the home in Silver Oak recently!  Only three days after your staging session with the owner, a couple came through for a showing, loved it, and subsequently bought it.  As a result, the clients' home sold only 19 days after listing.  Needless to say, our seller clients are EXTREMELY delighted with the results of your visit! Your tactfulness in suggesting changes helped make the whole process much easier for the client.  It can be stressful for sellers to face packing away their prized possessions in order to make the home ready or buyer showings.  Your sensitivity to the sellers' concerns -combined with your excellent explanations of WHY certain changes would make the home more appealing to buyers and result in a quicker sale - resulted in preparing the home to show in the best possible light to buyers.  Bob and I heartily recommend your staging services to any sellers looking to maximize their home's value and achieve a fast sale for the highest possible price!”

“Shortly after working with gg Redecorating, I was able to sell my condo which had been on the market for months.”

Suzannah Prescott, Polakoff Communications, Cleveland, OHIO

“It has become a cliché’ to say that someone brings energy to their work and life, however, it really defines Cheryl Grace. Enthusiasm coupled with her serenity makes you eager to understand the beauty of Feng Shui.  My background is business and I have always approached such with straight logic.  Once I dared to understand her science it infused my business with incredible potential.  To say I was surprised is an understatement.  She has been able to open my mind to a new way of thinking that really enhances my way of life.”

Ellin Kerin, Realtor, West Hartford, CONN

“Cheryl's visit to my home was inspiring! Her explanations of balance were easily understood and easily accomplished by just moving pieces of artwork or a chair. I had such fun seeing my house transform as I added a few colored pillows and removed clutter spots in my home. I got so enthused I couldn't go to bed that night after she left! The best part was the tremendous change it made in my home and at a nominal cost. You will see and feel the improvements. This is a must do for everyone.”

Ronnie Gates, Sarasota, FLA

“When Cheryl came into my home and demonstrated ways to arrange my furniture to form a more flowing and pleasing environment, I was not just convinced, I became a convert! Her knowledge of feng shui and interior refinement has made my home less cluttered, more interesting and has enhanced personal areas of my life that were both unexpected as well as life affirming!”
