Client Feedback

Simply amazing is how I describe my experience with Fiona Newell Weeks and her team at Dwelling & Design. Not only did she master the difficult task of furnishing and decorating one house that I was staging to sell, with an eye toward re-using all those furnishings and decorations in my second home, but also she made the process FUN and EASY! The house she staged photographed beautifully and was sold the very evening of the Open House, at 9% above the list price! I'm so excited to work with Fiona again on my next projects in my second home -- the outdoor decks and the master bedroom and bathroom. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Fiona Newell Weeks at Dwelling & Design for all types of home projects.

The minute I walked into Dwelling & Design, which features eye-popping colors and snazzy vignettes, I felt happy and wanted to move in. Instead, I hired Fiona to help me bring that feeling to my DC house. Let's just say, I've been liberated from the tyranny of beige and now live in a dreamy space of pale pinks and aquas and, best of all, a huge rose-quartz chandelier. Visitors can't help feeling happy when they enter and too many lately have begun bringing their toothbrushes.

I absolutely love Dwelling & Design! Fiona Weeks has fabulous taste and an exquisite eye for beautiful design. She also is a lovely person to work with; she's cheerful, patient, and obviously loves what she does! I happily make day trips to Easton from Chevy Chase, anticipating what gorgeous items I will find in the shop. From pillows to glassware to jewelry, everything is beautifully curated. It is a very happy place!
