“The first thing Cheryl McMillan asked me as I prepared to move was what kind of vibe I wanted in my new, smaller home. The answer wasn’t easy for me. I was kind of indecisive, but it didn't matter. Cheryl knew exactly how to uncover the ambience I wanted. Before she revved into high gear, she asked thought-provoking questions and listened closely to my responses. When it came time to put ideas into action, she made sure my furniture, artwork, rugs, and other treasured items found just the right spot in my new home, at the same time offering invaluable guidance on everything from paint color to curtain length. Somehow, meeting my new vibe that's both quiet and lively, she found that sweet design spot. I could not be more thrilled with the result.”

“I live in Virginia, so when my dad’s assisted living facility called to tell me he had to be moved right away to a memory care program across town, I had no idea what to do. The Director suggested I call The Downsized Home. In two days, Cheryl had my dad moved and completely settled in his new space. She organized everything! She sat with dad and talked with him to keep him calm while the movers got him packed. She unpacked and arranged his new room so it looked homey. Because of his memory issues, she added labels so he would know where all of his things were. When I talked with dad, he was upbeat and happy and he loved his new room. Cheryl is my angel walking on earth.”

“I am the sole caretaker of my long-time friend, Mark. Mark has lived all over the world and had collected a house full of treasures. When the time came to move him into assisted living, the scope of it all was overwhelming. Cheryl met with Mark several times and worked with him to downsize. She knew what would look nice in his new apartment and she got those things moved. Then she arranged to have the rest sold and donated. When Mark walked into his new space, he actually got emotional because it all looked so pretty. Every drawer was perfectly organized, and his beautiful things were displayed so artfully. He kept saying that it looked like a magazine. I don’t know what we would have done without Cheryl’s help.”
