Christopher Schafer

Mary was fantastic to work with when we created our beautiful seating area at Christopher Schafer Clothier. The leather Chesterfield couch and chair look so good and they’re very comfortable too. We added the perfect tables and bookcase to bring it all together. Mary was very professional and easy to work with on this project. I highly recommend her eye for design and detail to all.

Tom Galloway

We have worked with Mary for many years on a number of projects in our house. Her attention to detail is excellent while also offering creative ideas and understanding "the client" - not pushing product or anything like that. If you are looking for someone who "gets it" and will be with you all the way through your project, Mary Alves is where to go.

Frank Bien

Mary is an exceptional artist in a broad area of residential and commercial decoration and restoration. I have relied on her for a diverse number of projects in my 200 year old barn that was converted to our home in 1966. I would highly recommend her to my friends for a variety artistic and home decoration projects. She has also proven herself a true artist in the commercial sector of her field. She is a true professional in work habits and product. Frank Bien
