"We thoroughly enjoyed working with Marinela Doar! She was professional, personable and worked hard helping us find our next home. We’re relocating from the Northeast and needed someone to be our eyes and ears in Charleston. She let us know as soon as new properties were available that met our criteria. Since we couldn’t be there to see them ourselves, Marinela volunteered to visit the properties and do video tours of the homes and the neighborhoods. She even measured the dining room space so we could make sure our table would fit. We can’t thank her enough!" - C. Collett | Buyer

"Styled in was our designer for a bar build in Seattle WA, for which I was the general contractor. What a great experience; well thought and thorough drawings, clear and original ideas, responsive, flexible, willing to listen and adapt to new situations. It was a real treat to work with such a skilled designer and great person." - March 2020 | Kaleb Kerr

"We are just at the beginning stages of our new home project but so far we love working with Marinela at Styled In. After next week, I'll get a much better sense of her capabilities and expertise but feel confident that she will help us design the type of home we always dreamed of!" - December 2019 | Jennifer Leal via Bark

"Marinela was amazing. She designed a new apartment in a very complicated open space format. She was creative, agile and worked directly with me to ensure everything was done perfectly. I used her white glove service and it was fantastic and every detail was attended to in the delivery and furniture set up. I will absolutely be using her again and recommend her to anyone in need of expert interior design.." - February 2022 | Chris Foster via Google
