Carolyn was fabulous, her ideas made my house pop. She relieved the stress of having to completely redo a home, and I couldn't be more pleased with the end result. **★★★★★ — mfeeser, Sept. 2017** > Time for design was fantastic! After several DIY design attempts, Carolyn saved us. Her direct approach, personality and knowledge about design were key in making our home feel like "us". She was sensitive to our family of four which includes a young child and dog. She captured the practical lifestyle we required in choosing the right furniture, frames, accessories, rugs, etc. The best way to say it is that she gets all pieces and puts together a customized puzzle. Her approach at making the home look stunning, while balancing the reality of life, really stood out upon revealing the final product. She was also very cognizant of our budget during the design phase. Other notables that illustrate her character; she was very honest about what worked and what we needed to say goodbye to, she was always available for random quick questions, she was willing to lend us her truck to move large items to and from places, AND she took our sick dog out on walks when we weren't home. (Who does that!?). All to say, the company has great people with integrity and an eye for customized design. We're finally excited to show our new home off! **Comment from The Time 4 Design:** > Thank you so much for the kind words and praise. **★★★★★ — Mary Gores, July 2017** > Amazing job! Carolyn and her team staged a $500,000+ home going up for sale and I know raised the value at least $25000. Beautifully done and arrived on time. Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — Mary Michael, March 2017** > We are getting ready to move and Carolyn consulted with to us to update our home. She is fabulous -- professional and decisive! She has a wonderful positive energy and her vision has given us direction and focus to implement and improve our home and we love her selection of lighting and painting. We liked her so much we want her to help us with our house we are going to remodel and redesign as well as interior design and layout. **★★★★ — Laurie King, Sept. 2016** > Carolyn did a beautiful job staging and helping the sellers choose paint colors. After being on the market for 90 days, we took it off the market, they painted and she did her magic. After putting the home back on as an active listing, the sellers received 2 offers within a few weeks (this was in the slower market time of November). It made a huge difference in marketing the property! **★★★★★ — Kelley Pankake, Sept. 2016** > I was very impressed with Carolyns suggestions and that she listened to our "wants' and "needs" and budget. Her design was cohesive and helped blend the old and new seamlessly! **★★★★★ — Julie Carlson, Sept. 2016** > Carolyn is AMAZING. She staged our home and it sold in a few days. Her list of recommendations was precise, with links that make it easy for us to follow through with her recommended purchases. It was a complete "makeover" for our home. It was so lovely, that we actually entertained the idea of NOT selling it! We highly recommend The Time 4 Design team! **★★★★★ — suellenthomas, Sept. 2016** > I've seen Carolyn's work multiple times and it's always excellent! It was a pleasure to be able to work with her on my own home. I'd highly recommend her to anyone. **★★★★★ — B2 Design Build, Feb. 2016** > Carolyn is always Professional, Timely, and Courteous. She is extremely talented and knowledgeable, and makes it a priority to accommodate your needs, wants and budget. Her attention to detail is very impressive, and her process always incorporates your personal style, while providing creative insights, and exceptional recommendations. **★★★★★ — kkmiller4, Dec. 2015** > Carolyn was confident and knew exactly what she wanted to do with our home. She tied our own things in to the design, and brought in a lot of accessories with the furniture. It was very nice and she knew what would look well on photos online as well. Her experience as a realtor is valuable in determining what appeals to buyers. It was an easy experience and I would recommend it to someone selling their home. **★★★★★ — paulkirschner, Nov. 2015** > I believe that my houses sell faster and for more money when Time 4 Design does the decorating and staging.They were very professional and up to date but most importantly they meet the deadlines and the budgets. I highly recommend Time 4 Design. > > Paul Kirschner > Upward Homes **★★★★★ — Copper Creek, Nov. 2015** > Carolyn did a wonderful job staging one of our models prior to Parade of Homes. The furnishings and artwork that she chose were warm and welcoming with the perfect amount of sophistication! ## Selected projects - [Interior Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/interior-design-pj-vj~93236) - Location: Prior Lake, MN - Photos: 37 - [Dream Home Parade of Homes 2016](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dream-home-parade-of-homes-2016-pj-vj~2117529) - Location: Shakopee, MN - Photos: 20 - [Model Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/model-home-pj-vj~1690422) - Location: Shakopee, MN - Photos: 13 - [Home Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-staging-pj-vj~93223) - Location: Prior Lake, MN - Photos: 19 - [The Time 4 Design Team](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-time-4-design-team-pj-vj~2117552) - Location: Prior Lake, MN - Photos: 10 - [Shady Beach Trail Home On The Shores of Prior Lake](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shady-beach-trail-home-on-the-shores-of-prior-lake-pj-vj~2428595) - Location: Prior Lake, MN - Photos: 40 - Description: Copper Creek presents another beautiful home On The Shores of Prior Lake.

Would love it in a darker wood though if possible. A: they are from a store called homfurniture.com **Q: Help! Staircase carpet!** *(in Design Dilemma)* Have to replace old staircase carpet, the only carpet we like is this navy/gold damask pattern (Lake Como). Calling on experts to advise if this would look too busy on the staircase. Any input is appreciated! A: way too busy and will dominate all other design choices in the home **Q: POLL: Lipstick on a Pig** *(in Polls)* Updating old blue siding. Challenge is working with whats currently there (tan/cream stone, gray roof, orange/brown brick). Goal is to not turn this into a bigger project (i.e., paint brick, etc.). Next spring the front landscaping will be updated too. For now it's the siding decision which needs to be made this weekend. Choice is down to two Royal siding colors: A) Clay - a light taupey/greigy neutral with slight green undertones and B) Harvard Slate - a warm gray with pink/purple undertones. Care to chime in on the best choice between these two? I will try to upload pics and a video that toggles between the two. Thanks! BEFORE (yuck): A) CLAY: B) HARVARD SLATE: SAMPLES against house (eliminated bottom Brownstone color, too tan and felt outdated to me): A: Removing the orange brick and adding shakes there too would be cute **Q: How much do I need** *(in Product Questions)* How many boxes of ID\#17941035 do I need for 30 square feet? Please respond asap. Thanks A: ARE THE TILES ON A SHEET OR INDIVDUAL **Q: Size?** *(in Photo Questions)* What was the size of this room? A: 11 x20 **Q: Model number** *(in Product Questions)* Tell me the model number on 36 inch Pro- style stainless steel Thor kitchen A: DO NOT PURCHASE. Model HRG3618U. Heating in the oven went out 3 months after the warranty was up. They will not cover. The Thermostat did not work correctly either. Never on the right degree set. If any of the burners on the stove are off kilter a bit it will keep clicking loudly. Had to have the burners fixed due to a manufacturing error. The customer service phone number was barely answered. Only one person showed up at the Thor Kitchen Company to work on Monday, August 21, 2017. Cleaned the oven by the directions and the enamel started coming off. Very CHEAP. DO NOT BUY! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-23.*
