Two girlfriends, one a faux painter, the other a nurse, opened the doors of their design center (a transformed warehouse) in the fall of 2001. Carol and Annhave been friends now for over 20 years. They are real moms (now real business-women) with real families and real budgets who are happy to help make your dreams of a lovely, livable interior come true. Along with their husbands, Tom and Jim (affectionately called "the Boys"), they provide a fabulous resource to help you furnish your home comfortably and affordably.

Their dream is to provide the opportunity for a customer to change every room in their home into a "great room". Customers are encouraged to bring in photo "trouble spots" and measurements of their rooms so together we can discover solutions and ideas that fit your needs. Tuesdays and Thursdays are reserved for home consultations for clients who seek advice within their living space. "Yes, we make house-calls."

Carol and Ann are always seeking new accessories and furnishings at the various tradeshows and travel across the country to North Carolina, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Dallas and New York to find unique and exclusive items. Are you looking for style in your home that you can pull off as easily as dressing for the weekend? Let the Great Rooms Gals show you the way to comfortable, chic and simple decorating. And when the girls are away, the Boys will ...work hard caring for the many clients looking for that perfect sofa, framed print or lamp. The husbands offer comic relief and are happy to give their opinions of their favorite fabrics, fish, football team, folk music and floral arrangements; they both strive to be in touch with their feminine side.
