Linda McDougald Design l Postcard From Paris Home

"Relocating from the West Coast, my wife and I chose to build our retirement dream home in Asheville, at the Cliffs in Walnut Cove.  A few months into our build, we retained Linda McDougald of “Post Cards From Paris”. Within the first few weeks Linda’s experience and input proved invaluable. Now having worked with Linda over the last two years, it is evident that hiring "Post Cards From Paris" was one of the best decisions we could have made. Linda is experienced, intelligent, committed, responsive, honest, knowledgeable, and talented. Throughout our entire process, Linda had our back. She listened and responded, always proactive and using her best effort to insure nothing fell behind or slipped through the cracks. Her connections proved invaluable, including the outstanding work of her proposed interior architect, who’s interior design renderings helped turn our design concepts into reality. We are so very appreciative to Linda for her dedication, talent, and expertise in bringing everything together while remaining mindful of our specific needs and objectives. I would highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a professional interior design partner who is committed to achieving your highest interior design aspirations. Kenneth Ward Walnut Cove Resident"

"I have used Linda’s services extensively for both my homes in South Carolina and Florida. Linda is very professional, has a great eye for spatial planning and interior design, has the ability to pull colors, textures, and fabrics together to blend seamlessly into the flow of your home, and will create a warm and inviting space that you will be happy with for many years to come! Linda forms relationships with contractors, builders and architects based on mutual respect and trust. I would recommend her highly for any design project and architectural concepts."

"Working with Linda McDougald is an absolute delight! She is guiding my husband and me through a lake home renovation, making the process fun, creative and exciting. With renovation we are limited to a degree by existing structure. Rather than having this become frustrating she approaches challenges with flexibility and creativity. Her easy and engaging style of interaction makes us feel like old friends. Linda is exceptionally generous, kind and patient. She is tremendously supportive, particularly in advocating for us with contractors and vendors. She is meticulous in tracking our interests and concerns, repeatedly surprising me with her memory of our comments. Her website postcardfromparis.com speaks for itself in showcasing her exceptional design talent and ability to create inviting, beautiful spaces for her clients."

"Linda has worked with us through the challenging Covid years from the initial input on Architectural plans through the design, construction, selection and installation (still on-going) of all furniture, fixtures, window/floor treatments and accessories. She has been our advocate with contractors and has followed up in all areas to move this project through in these difficult times, which has been particularly helpful as this is a second home for us. At a time when many of your professionals have turned out to be unreliable, inconsistent and ever-changing, it has been a great comfort to know she is on our TEAM"

"If you are beginning a new build, Linda is invaluable to your project. Moving to Asheville from CA, we began a build without proper design assistance, that set our project back. Once Post Cards from Paris came on board, she knew just how to work with our project manager and help make our vision a reality. Linda not only has a great design eye, but she is WONDERFUL to work with. It helps to have a patient, professional, kind and funny team player to work along side during the craziness of a build! Her many years in the design and retail business gives her the resources to find all the elements you might need to create a unique space. We are very grateful to have found her!"
