Nicole Casanova is the owner of award-winning Nicole Decor and Design. She has been in business in the Albuquerque area for 21 years. Her menu of services includes interior design and interior decorating, home organization, office organization and decorating,  outdoor living and landscape design.  Nichole said, “My favorite thing to do is what I call redecorating. I come into a client’s home and do a walk-through with them. Then I pretty much re-work everything and create a new look without a lot of purchases. The most common response is, “I would never have thought about doing that.” It’s not me coming in and doing my style in their home. It’s me helping them to determine what their personal style is.”
