Hi Marcia,

I don't know if you remember me or my home - I live in the Atlanta area (Marietta) and you came over and did a Consulting for us. The past February the last contractor left my remodeled home after five months! I implemented your design and the results are awesome! I LOVE MY NEW HOME.

If you ever get back to Atlanta, please come by and see it, it will knock your socks off.

Thanks for the great re-design!!!

Best Regards, Lauren Brockman; Marietta, Georgia

Hi Marcia,

We are subscribers to the Ann Arbor News and wanted you to know that I can't wait to get the Saturday paper to see what you have done to improve livability of homes. I just enjoy studying the new spaces you have created, imagining what they look like and comparing the 'old' with the 'new'. I am taken with your "To Go' shelf and wish I had one. Keep up the great work

Dear Marcia,

Fortunately for me, I will almost always move into a house that needs change or updates and will be moving into an area that carries your column in the newspaper. I think it will be a great reference and look forward to being able to read it more regularly.

Marcia,

First let me tell you that I was blown away by the plan you came up with for last week (#2306). Just rearranging the interior spaces made such an amazing difference. I was so impressed - the homeowners had to have been thrilled!.....

I'll be sure to read your upcoming columns in the paper and I'm so happy to be able to read them on line now. It is always nice to read about plans for homes in our area.

We're looking at putting the addition you designed for us sometime next year. I am excited because it will make such a huge improvement in the home for us. Te mosquito problem this year has us reconsidering the deck for a screened-in porch.

Sincerely,

Dear Marcia,

I just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your feature. It's my favorite part of the paper. I love playing around with floor plans myself, so I really appreciate how practical and creative your designs are. It is amazing what a difference moving a couple of walls can make.

I especially love the "To Go" shelves. What a great idea! I think I need a "To Go" room.

I hope that you continue to write this feature for a long time.

Dear Sally Tato Snell (Detroit Free Press Real Estate editor),

Can you tell me why I can't find the articles by Marcia Lyon (Creating Spaces) that used to be published in every Sunday Detroit Free Press? I really enjoyed her articles. I haven't seen them in months.

Regards,

Dawn Murray

[Note to Marcia]

I don't understand why your column is not in the Free Press anymore. They may have opted for more advertising space instead of your articles. I will bet that is their reasoning. My husband and I feel that the newspapers and TV stations have inundated us with more and more advertising and we don't like it. I hope my one little voice might have some impact. I'll let you know if I hear any positive feedback.

Thank you,

Dawn Murray
