From Bedroom…to Boardroom

From the bedroom to the boardroom, Auntie M’s Antiques & Interiors can make it feel like there’s no place like home. Owner Margaret Nell Fowler offers commercial and residential decorating services in the Tennessee Valley area and prides herself on listening to clients and giving them the best service and products.

One recent commercial client, Dr. Michael Dohrenwend, states, "Margaret Nell listened to the needs of my staff in order to create a functional, as well as beautiful office environment. My patients feel comfortable coming into a warm and inviting atmosphere."

Margaret Nell put her magic touch to work by bringing Dr. Dohrenwend’s 1980s building with dark paneling and outdated plumbing into this millennium with new paint, window treatments, carpet, wiring, nursing and reception stations, and telephone and security systems. In addition, she enhanced the outside landscaping, added parking lot lighting, and created two examination rooms with vintage items. "We wanted to create a place people enjoyed coming into," Margaret Nell explains. "It’s now beautiful, as well as functional."

A top priority for Margaret Nell is form and functionality. "Form and function go hand-in-hand with commercial decorating," she comments. "I sit down with clients to find out what they need, like, and will make their job easier. We then create something they’ll be proud of and comfortable working in."

What sets Margaret Nell apart is her drive to learn every aspect of a job and her hands-on approach. If she is unfamiliar with something, she researches every aspect to make sure she meets the client’s needs. Also, Margaret Nell assists in design plans and hires and oversees sub-contractors for necessary construction services. "I offer the total package," Margaret Nell says. "My services cover the construction or remodeling of an area to the selection and placement of the smallest details that make your space unique and personal."

Margaret Nell uses this same philosophy with residential clients. A recent client, Mrs. Reasoner, states, "I returned from a vacation very nervous to see what I would find in my home that was being redone by Margaret Nell. We had selected colors, fabrics, and made other basic decisions, but I left her in charge of the moving and mess required to put in the hardwood floors, paint walls, and create custom window treatments. Wow! I walked into a new house with furniture and pictures rearranged, and beautiful floors and windows that made my home a more pleasant place to be."

Another service Margaret Nell offers is shopping for furniture and antiques. "I want my clients to have top-quality furniture at a good price," Margaret Nell comments. "I’ll travel the Southeast to find items that fulfill clients’ dreams."

She continues, "Antiques are 100 years old or older. Vintage pieces are often referred to as antiques and can be equally pleasing to have in homes or offices. As long as clients select an item that they’re comfortable with, ‘works in their space’, and has quality and character, then we’re pleased. The items I find for my clients aren’t the most inexpensive, but always have value and beauty."

From the bedroom to the boardroom, there’s no place like home with Auntie M’s decorating services.
