I have been a resident of Miami for 37 years and of South Miami for over 20 years.
I have been a customer of Margaux since the store opened in 1989.
Margaux is the neighborhood store which I would frequently stop to get a quick gift, always so carefully and attentively gift wrapped, most of the times an inexpensive scented candle.
I had always admired the way the store was so beautifully decorated and amazed by how often their entire store decoration will change, creating one more beautiful decor than the last one. All their items for home decor are unique, elegant, hand picked with good taste and so well put together.
I knew the owners of the store, Margarita and her daughter Cristina, will do home visits and assist in decorating. I decided to asked for their help while attempting to re-do my living room making it go accordingly with my more modern new home. We needed to keep using my antique, wood furniture pieces that I loved and which they all had a special place in this huge living room.
Working with Margarita and Cristina was so easy, pleasurable and fun. When they first visited my home and we talked, and talked , they gather the concept that I wanted. They took pictures, they measured and we discussed a floor plan. At the same time that we engaged in conversation ( Margarita and I are both from P.R.) they were also getting a feel for the house, for us, our taste and our life style.
There was no need for me to looked at many fabric samples or waste precious time and energy. Margarita and Cristina "nailed it" ( dieron en el clavo) with their first choice of fabrics combinations presented to me. It was so great and beautiful, it was accepted at once. The rest followed smoothly. They gave me options for sofa, chairs and coffee tables, we decided together on the new pieces. It is very reassuring having the expert advice.
Margarita and Cristina have been instrumental in decorating many, many homes, apartments and even boats in Miami. They know their trade, they have the resources , they have the human resources, they know where to look for things, they have great people skills, a talented staff, they are patient and very good at what they do every day. They will guide you step by step, making the necessary appointments either at your house when is needed or at their beautiful store, to complete the task at hand.
A few months after our first meeting, they delivered all the new pieces accordingly. The ladies ( as they are often referred by) and their team positioned my new living room, which they have been storing piece by piece in their warehouse, just in time for the Holidays celebrations. All the new pieces were brought at once for a total effect.
Actually I was not present while the delivery and positioning took place, and it all was done so very perfect. Looking forward to another room renovation soon.
Decorating when using professional services becomes a true collaboration between the owner and the decorator. This project is very pleasant and enjoyable when it's done alongside class, style and experience.
Thanks Margaux and Staff for my new living room.
Sincerely,
Tillie
