Zolten Wood Design/Resume

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS:

'We wanted to do a rich and fanciful room for our children and guests to enjoy. Linda totally exceeded our expectations by creating a room where all generations are spellbound by the depth and detail of her work. A simple walk-up storage space was transformed into another land. This room feels as if one is inside a beautifully illustrated book that has been personalized for our family. We highly recommend Linda's work and her personal commitment.' L. Cipriani, Rocky River, Ohio 2004

'She worked diligently - being careful of detail and colors to coordinate with (our) fabrics. We have been delighted with her work and have received many, many compliments. Linda is also very accomodating and a terrific person to work with as she loves to please her customers...Waking up to this wonderful work of art each morning is certainly a treat.' L Erbaugh, Hudson, Ohio 2004

'I am very demanding and have worked with the very best. I know what I want for the unique scale of my European condo home. Linda always delivers on time perfection with a true talent for tones and balance. She is neat and clean and highly sensitive when working amidst valuable art and antiques.' C Axelrod, Bratenahl, Ohio 2003

'Linda was terrific with my kitchen redo. I had only a vague idea of what I wanted and she knew how to 'flesh' it out with my color choice, her art work and designing the tile back splashes. I have now used some of her ideas in our get-away home.
Every time I see a new project she has done, I am impressed with her versatility. She could paint anything!'
V Bauer, Cleveland Hts, Ohio 2000
