MacKinnon Interiors - Essex, Connecticut

Marily is incredibly talented and resourceful! Not only does she have great taste - always matching the style of her clients - instead of imposing her own equally fabulous style - but she is also a shrewd buyer who knows how to find exactly what you want. An example is that when we moved to Essex we had two beautiful custom window treatments for our dining room but now needed a third. Marily was able to successfully create a third window treatment to match our existing ones, saving us thousands of dollars. We are so glad we chose her to help us decorate our home!

I have nothing but rave reviews for Marily and MacKinnon Interiors. Marily has fantastic taste. She is a creative, well-seasoned professional. She consistently goes beyond the call of duty to make her projects come out perfectly. We love working with her!

We've successfully used MacKinnon Interiors for several complex projects that entailed: overall design of the room, sourcing and purchasing required materials, bidding out construction work, and construction/project management.

Marily has successfully planned and executed these projects with us. She incorporated what we had and provided us with a multitude of additional design and decorative items we required. Off the top of my head, I can recall: cabinetry, countertops, tiles, lighting, flooring,, wallpaper, medicine cabinet, mirrors, etc.

On our first project together, Marily organized a "rescue" of a half finished full-bathroom renovation. She came into our (awkward and unfinished) room and knew just what to do. She sat down with us to discuss where we wanted to end up. From there, she took the ball singlehandedly. It felt like a "miracle" when after just a short window of time with the contractors she lined up for the job (ONE week) she turned the entire room around and finished the job.

Marily has been invaluable on every level! She does whatever is necessary to make her projects go well and stay on track. She has even had "emergency design meetings" with me, on a weekend(!), so we could plan and organize to get work done when I would be away.

Thank you to Marily and MacKinnon Interiors. We highly recommend this company.

In Jan 2020 our home was partially destroyed by a chimney fire. Between the fire damage and water damage, we had to gut the interior. Please note, we live in a renovated 1885 Catholic Church with stained glass windows and 24 foot vaulted ceilings, so the thought of rebuilding was daunting. Where do we even begin? Well, we began with Marily Mackinnon and Mackinnon Interiors. From the beginning of our rebuild to the very end, Marily was always available to provide vision, direction and support. She and my wife created a shared vision for our home and together, they were able to actualize an amazing finished product. She introduced us to her extensive network of professional crafts persons who also helped with our rebuild.

When you're working with Marily, you soon discover you are working with a true professional who listens to your wants, needs, and desires and cares about the finished product. We love our new home!! We whole heartily recommend Mackinnon Interiors for any type of project you are working on. The key is to bring her in during the planning stage. Thank you Marily.

My wife Gretchen and I have worked with Marily through 3 homes with complete satisfaction, Her ability to suggest, find resources, find product, and help pull it all together is extraordinary - and I might add always on budget! She is a pleasure to work with on our smallest on going projects to a complete home make over.
