What Clients Say

My husband and I are quite opposite in our likes/dislikes and somehow she manages to find a very happy middle ground for us.  We couldn’t be more pleased with the results, every room lets us feel completely relaxed and content.  So here I am again to review Nancy Bradley from The Sum of its Parts, once again she has gone above and beyond.  Just the fact that I am a repeat customer speaks to her talent and creativity while still being very budget-conscious.  She has been working on a complete design/decorate/upgrade for us and it is amazing.  My husband and I are quite opposite in our likes/dislikes and somehow she manages to find a very happy middle ground for us.  We couldn’t be more pleased with the results, every room lets us feel completely relaxed and content.  As I continue to work with her I understand more and more how important it is to feel happy in your home, it is your space and your haven.  She has brought to my attention that sometimes small changes can make a big difference and also what may seem like overwhelming obstacles can actually be manageable.  She very skillfully guides you through designs while going over different options so that you are completely satisfied with the result.  My advice to you is; if you do not feel that your home is your haven then you need to work with her.
P.S.  I don’t have meltdowns in Home Depot anymore because I have taken her advice and I don’t go there unless I have her physically with me or on the phone with me.  Actually, I am quite happy to not have to go there at all ☺.

Nancy has a reliable system and thinks outside the box. There is no “can’t” in her vocabulary.  From our first meeting, she was intuitive to my personal style, which is so important to me, because I know what I like, I just don’t know how to put it together.  I don’t know exactly where to start, It’s been a journey, here’s “Our Story”…  We were blessed with an incredible opportunity to purchase a home in Trent Shores, which happens to have the sweetest neighbors anywhere!
We had never renovated a large project before, we knew we needed advice, so I began a search for someone and through a friend we found Nancy and Shawn.  
Nancy has a reliable system and thinks outside the box. There is no “can’t” in her vocabulary.  From our first meeting, she was intuitive to my personal style, which is so important to me, because I know what I like, I just don’t know how to put it together.  From paint colors to molding, to lighting and kitchen cabinets, granite, and backsplash, from curtains to fireplaces to furniture choice and placement, from bedrooms and bathrooms to widening doorways to tearing down walls, ever paying attention to all the details, she absolutely went out of her way to complete our desired look.  In addition, she kept track of the different contractors and their scheduling.  Another important mention is that she found several pieces of used furniture that we loved and had them redone by a trusted refinisher.  Endless are her resources and ideas.  She was immersed in every aspect of our project, even the running around picking up odds and ends that becomes so monotonous. 
Since working with Nancy on this first house, we have utilized her skills on 2 other homes.  I love that she is flexible and can handle the large jobs, but also the smaller projects too, like when all you need is a “new look”.   I still call on her for small finishing touches, like blinds for French doors, and there is no waiting, she jumps on it immediately by emailing a link, and even comes over to install, if needed.  
If you have any decorating needs, small or large, I definitely recommend Nancy Bradley, with “The Sum of its Parts”. Her rates are fair and she is absolutely  awesome!!!

Nancy is a joy to work with and besides finding lovely pieces she always respected my budget. Nancy helped me break out of my rut and find new, colorful and beautiful pieces to update my living and dining rooms. She is a joy to work with and besides finding lovely pieces she always respected my budget. She found great craftspeople to help with the project. As a professional she is great and as a person I just plain loved working with her.

What a wonderful job! We gave her the keys and sailed away for 6 months and came back to our dream home. On budget and on time! What a wonderful job! We gave her the keys and sailed away for 6 months and came back to our dream home. Nancy worked her magic on 2 bathrooms, popcorn ceilings throughout that were replaced with beams, and a closet removal and quartz kitchen counter update. On budget and on time!

Nancy has been an invaluable help in making my entire downstairs absolutely lovely! I get nonstop compliments on how gorgeous it is. And she is super cost efficient, delivering real value – I’d say amazing value – for her work. Hello! I can not recommend Nancy highly enough for jobs big and small. I moved into a 2-story home about 2 years ago and had a lot of “stuff,” but no idea how to make it all work in my new space. Over time, Nancy has helped me display my best and favorite art and other pieces, find the right new items to optimize the look and functionality of my living space, and create beautiful window treatments using a combination of custom fabrics and ready-made items.
While I love playing with colors and fabrics and patterns, and know what I like when I see it, I really need help from a pro on how to best use the space in a room and make everything come together in a beautiful and totally livable space. Nancy has been an invaluable help in making my entire downstairs absolutely lovely! I get nonstop compliments on how gorgeous it is.
She does not take over, she listens to your ideas, looks at what you have, and works with you in partnership to deliver amazing results. And she is super cost efficient, delivering real value – I’d say amazing value – for her work. I can’t wait to tackle my upstairs next with Nancy!

Your home should be your haven and Nancy understands this very well. She works quickly and is very budget conscious. I suggest that if you are even thinking about going to Home Depot then STOP and just call her. If you are like me and prone to meltdowns in Home Depot then you need enlist the services of Nancy Bradley. She very quickly determined what needed to be done in my living room and kitchen. She presented a range of options that even I could understand (even after my meltdown). My home now has a nice flow – (fen she, fen shway –  they call it, I really don’t really know). I do know that I feel much better about my home and in my home. Your home should be your haven and Nancy understands this very well. She works quickly and is very budget conscious. I suggest that if you are even thinking about going to Home Depot then STOP and just call her.
