"We first met Holly Carter at the Moore County Home Builders Show, where she conducted a seminar on home decorating. Her straight forwardness and decorating approach impressed us plus her theme “Get it right the first time.” Not only did she help us furnish our Great Room but her advice on interior and exterior colors was very valuable. Our home design included for a number of open door ways with arches. Holly got us to carry the arch theme to the kitchen cabinets, paneled doors and the Great Room fireplace book case. The barrel chairs in the Great Room followed the same theme with the fabric texture giving the feel of water which was in the background. She was very easy to work with and promptly handled our design concerns."

"We're only days away from spring and that means new menu items coming soon. That's not all that is new. We've got a brand new look at Noble's Grille. When we decided it was time for a change we contacted our good friend Holly Carter who was the visionary behind the interior at Rooster's Woodfired Kitchen. Check out her site at hollycarterdesign.com Holly has cooked up custom leather banquettes and new interior colors that warm up the Grille just the way we wanted."

make the right choice from the start. There are so many choices when you're thinking about building a new home, remodeling, or furnishing in style that suits your lifestyle. Most people get overwhelmed and don't know where to turn. They head down the wrong road, have to back up and wind up going in a different direction. This approach is not only frustrating - it's costly.
Holly Carter is an interior designer with a turnkey approach to every project she tackles. She makes it her business to guide you down the right road the first time. With 25 years of experience helping make good choices, she has encountered folks from all walks of life, with varying levels of income. They all share a common denominator: they don't want to make a mistake.
"When I started my own business, By Appointment," says Carter, "I wanted to deliver a level of service to my customers they would appreciate and find reliable; with results that were livable and affordable. So many people being referred to me had tried an approach to design that just didn't work and had cost them dearly in terms of time and money. I earned a reputation as a "re-designer", but my company is so much more than that."
By Appointment is known for tackling projects, large and small, that begin and end with a simple concept: customer satisfaction. Holly Carter wants to know: what are your lifestyle needs, your budget, your timeframe, and most importantly - your expectations?
"It's a little like design therapy if you think about it", says Holly. "Everyone brings their own ideas and dreams to each project. It's my job to clarify that input in a realistic way to create outcomes that can be attained to everyone's satisfaction. Wether I'm brought in to consult on the design of an entire house - or just one room - the process has to work for the end result to be appreciated. When a customer turns to me and says, "I had no idea this place could look this good and feel this comfortable", I know it's right.
Don't waste your valuable time and money - GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!
