What a boon to our lifestyle! Missy did a fabulous job incorporating her unique ideas with our needs and lifestyle. On a personal level she is dependable, delightful, talented and patient. We are very pleased that she was steadfast in quickly addressing manufacturer issues, although they were minimal. She worked very hard to make our home beautiful all while encouraging our input yet gently steering us away from decisions that would not have worked with the design style. Her past experience in the construction industry served her well in coordinating with our builder and her knowledge of resources in the area served her well in providing specific items for our remodel. Our home is now not only beautiful, it is also very functional and comfortable which is very important to us. We highly recommend Missy Stewart Designs for any project, large or small.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity.

I recently had a design consultation with Missy, and I couldn’t be more impressed. She was incredibly professional and came prepared with thoughtful, creative ideas that balanced both aesthetics and functionality. I especially appreciated how she guided us on where it made sense to invest and where we could save without sacrificing the overall look.
She also went above and beyond by providing a list of trusted contractors, sending paint samples so we could truly visualize her recommendations, and following up with a detailed summary email outlining our discussion and next steps. That level of organization and care made the entire process feel clear and manageable.
If you’re looking for expert guidance to work through design decisions but prefer to hire and manage the work yourself, I highly recommend scheduling a consultation with Missy. It was absolutely worth it!

Missy Stewart Designs is amazing. This is not the first project that Missy has completed for me, but it is the most comprehensive. Our very dark, and beat up bathroom was completely gutted. A huge 3 person jacuzzi, tile covered shower bench and dated cabinets were removed, and replaced with updated and bight large scale tile, a free standing soaking tub, and floating cabinets for a very eco-zen spa-like feeling. The best parts were a Turkish chandelier, extended wall mirror, and steam incorporated into the shower. What a dream bathroom!
Response from the owner · a year ago
Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s always such a pleasure working with you, and I’m thrilled you’re loving the transformation. That bathroom really did go from dated to dreamy! The Turkish chandelier was one of my favorite touches, too—it’s such a serene space now. I’m grateful for your continued trust in me and so glad we got to bring your vision to life again.
Warmly,
Missy

Missy was so wonderful to work with to help us furnish and decorate our new home. She helped us with furniture and decor and even consulted on window treatments. During a very busy time in my life, she was able to provide me relief by sourcing everything for me- and I loved all the options she presented! She took time to listen to my husband and I to understand our likes and dislikes, kept our budget in mind, and came back with multiple selections for each room. We are very pleased with everything Missy offered!

I’m so glad the process brought you some relief during a busy time and that you loved the selections! It was a pleasure working with both you and your husband to bring your vision to life. I’m thrilled you’re happy with the final result!
Warmly,

Omg! WOW is all I can say about Missy! She’s simply amazing. She helped me with the remodeling of my “mother-in-law” apartment in my home and I just love what she did for the place. The best part was that she helped me stay in MY budget and not what others thought I should do! Every time I go downstairs, I thank god I know her!! 🥰
Response from the owner · a year ago
Thank you so much for this incredible review! I’m truly touched by your kind words. It was such a joy helping you transform the mother-in-law apartment into a space that feels just right for you. Staying true to your vision and your budget was a top priority, and I’m so happy you love the result. Every project is special, but working with you made this one especially meaningful. Thank you for your trust—and your kindness! 🥰

I've known Missy for years. She is an amazing interior designer. She recently helped me with a remodel of my dining room and kitchen in San Antonio. The furniture, light fixtures, countertops and tile really updated my 30 year old home. Her professionalism and style are unmatched. I've worked with other designers in the past and Missy is far and away the best!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure helping you. Seeing your home come to life with fresh updates was so rewarding, and I’m thrilled that you love the results! Your support and trust mean the world to me. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!

We are so thankful to have been referred to Missy by a friend of ours. She was amazing to work with. We had never used a professional interior designer before but knew we needed some assistance & guidance on our project as we wanted to update the entire house including a redesign of the primary closet & bath.
She started by talking with us to understand our goals/vision, design tastes, budget, and timeframe. Her design concept was amazing! She captured our personal style in terms of both aesthetics and function perfectly. We are thrilled with the result.
The whole house is beautiful. Each room has a warm welcoming vibe of casual beauty. We gained a ton of storage space in the remodel of the primary suite including a new linen closet in the primary bath, a huge walk-in shower, doubled storage space in our closet, and gained a 3rd floor laundry (in the primary closet.)
If we ever move from our current home, we will absolutely use Missy again in our next house. Highly recommend her 😉
Response from the owner · a year ago
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review! It was such a pleasure working with you both to bring your vision to life. I’m thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying your beautifully updated home and the functionality and storage. Creating spaces that feel warm, welcoming, and personal is always my goal, and I’m so glad to hear that reflected in your experience.
I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to work with you and for the referral from your friend. If you ever need anything in the future—or when it’s time for your next home—I’d be honored to work with you again. Thank you for your trust and recommendation! 😊

We recently competed a remodel with Missy Stewart Designs.
She was not the only designer we interviewed. She was the most serious and professional. She also had a construction background.
Missy was very responsive, always returning calls and emails. Never cancelling or late for meetings.
After hiring Missy she immediately started our design, no delays. When our construction began she interacted with the contractor and when necessary stepping in to troubleshoot. She stayed with us until completion.
Im very pleased with our outcome and with Missy Stewart Designs.
I would definitely hire Missy in the future!
Response from the owner · a year ago
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! It was a true pleasure working with you on your remodel, and I’m thrilled to hear you’re pleased with the outcome.
Your kind words. I believe that clear communication and staying hands-on throughout the process are key to creating a seamless experience and ensuring the best results.
I’m so glad I could be a part of bringing your vision to life, and I look forward to the possibility of working with you again in the future. Thank you for trusting Missy Stewart Designs with your home!
Warm regards,
Missy
