INTERIOR DESIGNERS

Megan has tapped into the expertise of local designers Alecia Stevens, Brooke Voss and Nadia Haddad for fresh ideas and to help with room layout. "You don't always have to hire a professional designer to do an entire house, which can be intimidating," she said. "Designers will often work with you on a tighter budget to help get things started or fill in the blanks."
