“A testament to timeless design”
My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Molly on multiple projects. We first worked together when Molly designed our living/dining room space in our Chicago apartment. We loved the finished space so much; we engaged Molly again the following year to design our master bedroom, office and baby's room. We bought a home in a Chicago suburb and one of our first calls was to Molly. Happily, we used the same color schemes, drapes and furnishings in our new home that Molly helped us choose ten years earlier!! That's a true testament to how tasteful and timeless Molly's designs are. We absolutely love the way our new home looks and feels; and enjoy it to the fullest everyday.

“I would absolutely use her services again.”
We hired Molly to help us decorate our new house, which was essentially a blank slate. She carefully guided us through color, fabric and furniture selection and was also very helpful on a few shopping trips helping to narrow down our selections as it was an overwhelming project. She also gave us a nice variety of floor plans to help conceptualize the space and all in all, was a great professional to work with. She really knows her stuff! I would absolutely use her services again. A pleasure to work with.

“listens carefully to the needs and taste of the customer”
Molly McGinness is fantastic. She helped us set up our new house on Cape Cod with tasteful, stylish décor and furnishings. She is super professional and organized. Most importantly she listens carefully to the needs and taste of the customer and clarifies the scope of the project ahead of time. Her expertise then follows...in our case she presented an array of great options and once I selected what I wanted, she ensured complete follow-through on the delivery and installation. I highly recommend Molly.

"impeccable attention to detail"
Molly helped us transform our living/dining room space and to create a nursery for a new arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed her approach to design and her impeccable attention to detail. She made the entire process so easy and stress free for us. Molly has great taste and is able to transform her clients' wishes into great design ideas that fit within the budget. We were very pleased with the outcome and regret that she is no longer in the Chicago area to help us with new projects.

"impressed by her design instincts and creativity"
I first met Molly a few years ago shortly after she relocated her business from Chicago to New England. I was immediately impressed by her design instincts and creativity, but also by her ability to do business in a professional, yet warm and friendly manner.
I work for Romo, a fabric and wallcovering company based out of the UK, and it has been a pleasure to see how Molly has included our products into many of her beautiful projects. I look forward to continuing to work with her on many projects down the road.

"always prepared and focused on fulfilling her client’s needs"
I have been fortunate to assist Molly with her client's flooring needs for the past couple of years. Molly comes to my showroom always prepared and focused on fulfilling her client's needs. She always respects her client's lifestyle and needs while designing a unique look just for them. Molly is great to work with and is extremely professional on all accounts. My staff and I look forward to assisting Molly with more of her projects in the future.

"hopefully we will meet again"
I have done electrical work at Molly's own residence as well as wiring her office/studio. It was a pleasurable experience having her for a customer as well as working with her on two high end projects that she designed and I executed the wiring and lighting. Again it was a pleasure working with Molly in this capacity. Hopefully we will meet again on future projects.

"creative in her ideas and respectful of the client’s needs "
I find her to be very creative in her ideas and respectful of the client's needs and budget. In meeting with clients she is low key and presents her extensive knowledge of interior design clearly and is very well prepared in her presentations whether it is window treatments, sofa fabrics or paint colors. Customers find her comfortable to be with and trust that she has their best interests at heart. Her style ranges from bold to subtle depending on the client's taste.
As a sub contractor working with Molly, I see her as very fair, flexible and open to suggestions. I enjoy seeing how she interprets what the customer wants and in painting she comes up with great color palettes.

"It was so helpful having her work with all the furniture vendors."
Molly McGinness was such a pleasure to work with when my husband and I found our dream home on Cape Cod. Molly helped us decorate and pick out all the furnishings to create a beautiful beach house where all of our family and friends come to relax and be together. Molly is such a talented designer and she always responded very quickly to any needs and questions we had. She created beautiful rooms full of color with unique furniture and lovely carpeting. It was so helpful having her work with all the furniture vendors. She is the consummate professional and is such a talented designer.

"a total room re-design, picking the perfect paint color, or specific space planning.
Molly McGinness is a consummate professional design specialist. She has been an invaluable part of designing my interior spaces & turning my house into a wonderful, comfortable, inviting home. I would request her advice & design services for any home project, from a total room re-design, to helping pick the perfect paint color, or couch, or general or specific space planning. I would highly recommend Molly to anyone who needs design assistance. She is always also an extremely nice person which makes working with her even more perfect.

"Our living room is now functional, accommodating our family of 5 + any guests"
Wonderful to work with Molly! Seamless process. She thought of things I never would have to make our living room and shared boys bedroom more livable, but also beautiful. Our living room is now functional, accommodating our family of 5 + any guests, yet also relaxing. The boys room, though shared, gives each of them enough space. Molly listened to us and the results were fantastic. We reached out to her after our first experience for help with the second and would definitely recommend her.

"excellent space planning and furniture recommendations allow for functionality "
Molly and I worked really well together on our house on Cape Cod. Her excellent space planning and furniture recommendations allow for flexibility, beauty, comfort, functionality and for enjoying the views outside as well as the constantly changing people inside in all seasons. All of the window treatments, upholstery and other furnishings were well made and have stood the test of time. I highly recommend her!

"Molly helped us select fabrics that were were fresh, airy and new. "
My mother-in-law had serious water damage in her home and needed all of the furniture re-covered, carpeting removed and curtains remade in her living room and dining room. However, she loved her old furnishings. Molly helped us select fabrics that were in keeping with my mother-in-laws style, but were fresh, airy and new. It was the same room that my mother-in-law loved, but with new life and energy. Molly did a great job!

"rolling up her sleeves and getting right into the business of understanding areas of concerns and offering great suggestions"
Molly was such a pleasure to work with. I really appreciated her efficiency and rolling up her sleeves and getting right into the business of understanding the areas of concerns and offering great suggestions to help with the design process. I used her mostly for the kitchen...colors, counters, etc. Very helpful to have another set of eyes to weigh in to help make the kitchen "work" in a way that I wanted to...Great listener!

"She transformed a dated looking space into a contemporary, inviting functional area."
I engaged Molly McGinness in 2017 to coordinate with my architectural firm and me during the building of a new home on Cape Cod. She was more than a pleasure to work with; professional, unflappable, good natured, good humored with a keen ability to understand my personal esthetic, to execute a beautiful outcome. The experience was so positive that I had her fly to Florida in 2020 to bring her design skill to a second project. She transformed a dated looking space into a contemporary, inviting functional area. I would highly recommend MMID. The work will not disappoint.

"We would be lost without her help in making our home comfortable and beautiful!"
My husband Phil and I have benefited from Molly’s talent, guidance, charm, humor and availability for some years now at our summer home on Cape Cod. We would be lost without her help in making our home comfortable and beautiful!

"Molly has excellent suggestions, and takes the time to review everything with you."
We hired Molly to help us design renovations and decorate our summer home in Chatham. She was always extremely professional and we absolutely LOVE her work. Molly has excellent suggestions, and takes the time to review everything with you. She works with your budget and your lifestyle! We have gotten so many compliments and we are thrilled with everything she has done. We plan to use her for all future projects as well.

"Her careful planning and coordination with the contractor, maximized our site visits."
Molly came into the project right in the beginning. She won over the reluctant builder/contractor who found her delightful to work with, as did we. Molly has great people skills and professional competence but doesn't interject her ego into the decision making. She quickly grasped what we wanted and guided us through the process to an end that we love!
Molly brought organization, vision, and talent to the project. We lived in another state so she sometimes had to make "on the scene" decisions for us. Her careful planning and coordination with the contractor, maximized our periodic visits to the site. I not only would work with Molly again but have already recommended her to a close friend who hired her as well.

"her taste is impeccable (of course!) but also very practical."
Decorating a number of rooms at once, focus and organization were of primary importance. Molly always had good ideas that took into account a changing project scope, time constraints and budgets. Along with purchasing new items, she helped work into the rooms a number of pieces we already owned and the final effect is very pleasing. Always presenting an array of choices, her taste is impeccable (of course!) but also very practical.
As we were not living in (or even near) the house at that time, Molly was a godsend in going to meet furniture trucks at odd hours and seeing contractors in and out in our absence. I always had total confidence in her ability to get it done and she always did.

"Her suggestions are thoughtful, unique, and relevant."
I would describe Molly's modus operandi as quiet sophistication. It was important to me to achieve livable elegance in a newly constructed, traditional home. Her suggestions are thoughtful, unique, and relevant. She is easy to talk with and helps the client develop their own vision. There is nothing cookie-cutter about her style. She is comfortable taking over and doing the whole project or giving the client guidance to make good decisions. She has a creative edge that is refreshing. She is talented!

"understands the design-build process from drawings to final touches"
We hired Molly during the renovation of a large house and, later, a cottage on Cape Cod. She was a key member of our architecture-design-build team and deftly broke several difficult architectural/design logjams (the house project was at a standstill until she came on board). Her advice on floor plans, kitchen design, bath design, aesthetics and project management were invaluable. We feel that the investment in her services saved us massive amounts of time, aggravation and money during our complicated two house project. If you're looking for a designer on Cape Cod that understands the design-build process from drawings to final touches, you won't do much better.

"very creative, very resourceful, very respectful and very professional"
Redecoration and updating of a living room and dining room, including purchasing of new sofa, new floor lamp, several lamp shades and the reupholstering of 11 pieces, some antiques. All of this against tight deadlines. This is the first stage in a larger, full-house project. Molly is very creative, very resourceful, very respectful and very professional - a genuine pleasure to work with. Wonderful concept and excellent execution.

"having Molly pull it all together made the whole thing so much more pleasant"
Right away it is obvious I didn't have the time or focus to work on the house. It needed work, but I was unsure of what to do and how to do it. I certainly didn't want to make an expensive mistake. The best idea I had was to consult Molly! It was clear from our first meeting she had that "creative vision." This is something I just don't have! I have ideas and thoughts, and having Molly pull it all together made the whole thing so much more pleasant. The 3 rooms we renovated are now useful, organized and have a good flow. So; the daunting task that the renovation started out being; became fun and I am very pleased with the results.
