Hello,

I am a certified interior redesign specialist and the owner of Room Outfitters.  I also serve as Non-Credit Associate Faculty at Miracosta Community College.  Established in 2003, the concept of Outfitting Rooms for Real Living© came from my own experience of getting married, becoming a mom and having aging parents. Every stage of life brings with it a move, a merge or a new arrangement for the home. Interior Redesign is the most effective and affordable approach I have found to make the most of what you own and your home comfortable through these changes in your life. Making a home a haven on a budget is not easy for many people. I love helping people.

Interior redesign is great:

• For newlyweds merging styles and belongings
• For seniors who have downsized their home
• For first-time homeowners who want to complete a look
• For college graduates who are renting their first apartment
• For teens who want to bring their own style to new heights
• For busy people who don't have time for an appointment

Are you one of these people?  Here is what some of my past and current clients think about the work we’ve done:

"You absolutely amaze me!  You end up doing all the work and we stand in awe!  Your decisions are so quick and right.  The room[s] always feel comfortable and welcoming.  It's so much fun to be apart of your class!"

- Barb I.

"Just wanted to express how very pleased we are with our elegant cozy new look.  [My husband] ...was literally flabergasted at what you'd accomplished.  He noticed each and every change.  ...We both are thrilled with the rearrangement of the sectional and feel it gives the area a much more open spacious feel."

- Pat P.

"Terrific job...... thought the rooms all looked great!  I had thought they looked great before and this was "different great" that we both like even better.....as did a number of our curious neighbors who came over this afternoon.  Kudos to you and your "team".

- Terri P. (Pat's Husband)

"It is an absolute pleasure to be able to sing Maru's praises as she has so many talents and skills she offers her clients. She is extremely creative, perceptive and has the rare ability to listen intently to her client's decorating, design and spatial challenges, and solve them quickly, innovatively and uniquely. I recommend Maru, without reservation, and feel blessed that she came into my life." 

- Ruthanne H.

“I really enjoy the use of color and using a single item as the focus and source of the creativity and energy for the re-design. I found it a treat to turn the worries over to expert.  We’ve done three of my rooms so far, and to this day I dare not move anything as I love the outcome.”

– Pattie K.

“We are indeed enjoying the new look in our living room and have received many compliments on it.  Thank you so much for your guidance and suggestions.  The color changes and accessory ideas have really pulled the room together.”

– Phyllis J.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“The furniture placement she used created distinct areas within the space but in a manner that created a soothing flow."

– Suzanne C.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I’ve learned to see my things with new eyes, to appreciate and use what I do have instead of what I don't have, and of course to de-clutter. You can't decorate clutter.”

– Vanessa D.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“We are so pleased with the window treatments—they do exactly the job we needed them to do, in addition to being attractive and right for the rooms.   Your recommendations were helpful in coming to a decision about the colors, length and rods to use.” 

– Donna L.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"When I walk into the bedroom, my spirits soar!  I LOVE the changes.  And I love you."

- Judy S.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Whether it has been painting/furniture placement, contractor selection, or basic paint color selections Maru has always been able to provide insightful and helpful answers. Much to my delight, the answers and expertise have been clear and simple and grounded in a deep understanding of what she does. Her approach is always comprehensive, yet she manages to factor in those things that for me were, non-negotiable. I would be loathe to make any sweeping changes without the aide of her "designing-eye"."
