I have had the pleasure of working with Stivers and Smith Interiors on more than one occasion over the past few decades....both in my home and my office. I am always delighted with their creative ideas that fit within my budget at the moment. They are honest, get the job done in a timely manner and are wonderful to work with....not to mention that they work in other states as well. I would refer them to anyone without reservation.

Thanks to Patti Stivers... I love my house! Six years ago, my husband and I moved from Midland, TX to Santa Fe. Patti helped us decide what would work in our new home and what we would need to make it look finished and complete. She was patient, honest and very conscientious. She gave us great advice and insight. Last year we added on to our house and Patti was there every step of the way. I can't imagine going through the decorating process without her.
