When you ask Tracy Dunn what she likes most about being a Design Consultant at Furnitureland South, she really can’t decide because she says it’s different everyday. “I love listening to a client’s ideas for their room, and then helping them turn their vision into a reality.” She also feels that it’s important for each home to reflect the personalities of the people that live there.

When she’s working with clients, she makes sure to connect with them and to include their lifestyle in the design. “It’s important for my clients to know that I am not just a yes girl.” “I am going to give my honest opinion on what pieces and fabrics work together, but I do know that ultimately, it’s their decision and they have to love their room.”

For 15 years, Tracy has been helping Furnitureland South customers bring their projects to life. She has more than 26 years of design experience, and a passion to make sure clients know how special and unique they are to her.

What are clients saying about Tracy?

“I want you to know how much I appreciate Tracy and everyone at Furnitureland South. I lost my wife to cancer 2 years ago next month. Buying furniture was a huge step for me. I was lost amid acres of furniture. Tracy and everyone in your company made it a partnering and enjoyable step. Thank you so much.” ~ Jim B.

Glamour is Forever in Style
