“On our architect’s recommendation, the Marino Center engaged On The Move Interiors for the interior design portion of the renovation of our Cambridge healthcare center. Sheila was wonderful to work with. She was always accessible and diligently met our ridiculously-tight construction deadlines. Sheila proposed creative solutions to achieve our aesthetic preferences while meeting our budgetary and regulatory requirements.
“The results are impressive. Our staff and patients are elated with the newly-renovated facility.”
- Anne McCaffrey, MD, MPH, Medical Director, Marino Center for Integrative Health
“I was planning a bathroom renovation project and thought I’d be comfortable designing it and making all the decisions on my own. When I received a cost estimate from a contractor and didn’t have a good feeling about the estimate, a friend suggested I contact Sheila to review it. I met with Sheila; she gave such sound advice about hiring a contractor and was so knowledgeable about the construction process and bathroom design, fixtures, and finishes, I asked for her guidance throughout the project.
“Sheila reviewed and refined the bathroom layout I had developed. She educated me about functional things, like heating, ventilation, and proper lighting and asked about the often-overlooked small details, like where I wanted to hang my towels. We went shopping for the furniture, plumbing fixtures and hardware, and tiles (Sheila created an exciting tile pattern for the floor). The whole time, Sheila kept my budget and design style in mind.
“I’m so glad I found On The Move Interiors. Sheila was integral to the creation of the bathroom of my dreams!”

“At the recommendation of friends, we asked Sheila to help us with our downsizing. One of our biggest dilemmas was how to display our large collection of ethnic art, crafts, and textiles in our new home.
“Sheila made brilliant suggestions about how to arrange and hang the pieces, and she designed a custom wall unit to accommodate all our treasures. We love our new space and are grateful to Sheila for all her well thought-out ideas.”
- Rhona & Ralph Hirschowitz, Brookline, MA
“I’ve been working with Sheila for a couple of years. The walls of my new home were all painted off-white. I wanted color. Sheila carefully listened to what I wanted to achieve and made suggestions about color options. I never would have painted an accent wall the vibrant Nacho Yellow without Sheila’s encouragement! I’m SO happy with the color choices; they’re exactly what I wanted.
“I’ve been incrementally pulling my home together, and at every step, I get advice from Sheila. Besides guiding me on paint colors, Sheila created furniture plan options, recommended furniture styles and sizes that would fit my taste, space, and budget, and has helped in selecting rugs. Even when we’re not working on a specific project, Sheila keeps me in mind; when she sees a piece of furniture or other item she knows I may like, she sends me an email with a link.”
- Jennifer Klaus, Brookline, MA
“We bought our new home in Sudbury; a really unique contemporary house inspired by the Arts & Crafts style. There were, however, two problems. First, the previous owners had been inspired by the Crayola family and chose bizarre wall colors. Second, the kitchen cabinets seemed dated and did not fit the decor.
“Sheila came to our rescue and helped us pick paint colors which complement and enhance the Arts & Crafts style. The new room colors made such an amazing difference that the kitchen cabinets didn’t need to be replaced. The color selections were so well-conceived that not only was the architectural feel of the house enhanced, but we saved all that money by not having to buy new cabinets.
“In short, Sheila was a godsend. Her advice and suggestions not only saved us money, but helped enhance the architectural features which originally attracted us to the house. I highly recommend Sheila to anyone who needs home decorating help.”
- Jonathan Melman, Sudbury, MA
“Sheila, I could not have done it without your incredible eye for detail, patience and perseverance.
“Moving from model to model and keeping the staging “fresh” and “new” each time is a difficult task – especially on such short notice…one you always seem to be up for. Much appreciation for your help!”
- Francine Winn, Sales Manager, Cortland Properties and Woodland Development
