I had dinner at a friends home and asked who her designer was. She said Holly Wilson. The house was amazing! I called Holly and asked if she was available to help with my kitchen/family room/first floor remodel. Lucky for me she was! Holly listens, is calm and relaxed (which is awesome when you are stressed and without kitchen) and brings amazing design ideas and skills. Removing one small wall completely transformed my kitchen. We had picked a floor to ceiling tile and my contractor called in a panic to say it was backordered. Holly calmly met me at the tile store and we picked the same tile in a different color and I couldn't be happier. She stays on budget, met all the deadlines and was available at a moments notice when the contractor needed her design expertise! I receive so many compliments on my home! Thank you Holly! **★★★★★ — Julie Schaper, Sept. 2016** > Holly helped us pick the hardwood floor coloring, paint colors for the whole interior of the home, designed and found vendors to make a custom wood island counter top & stainless steel vent hood. She had vendors to custom make our living room couch and provided the contractors for all the services needed. She searched & purchased amazing furniture for the entire home. Holly was absolutely amazing. She worked within our budget finding the best furniture for our home. She is extremely professional and fair in her pricing. She's got a great eye for color! I continue to use her services for on going projects for our home. I highly recommend her! **★★★★★ — davidwardstickart, Jan. 2016** > Holly is fun to work with! She has an exellent design sense and ability. As an artist you want to find a designer that has the confidence to hang with you and also on occasion to go one better and try something you hadn't thought of, Holly has that talent. I look forward to my next collaboration with her and would encourage you to contact her for your next one. > You will not be disappointed! **★★★★★ — Celtic Custom Homes, Nov. 2015** > I have personally known Holly for over 35 years now and have worked with her in the past. She is a lady of class, intelligence and taste. She always brings a fresh eye and innovative ideas to every space! I love her approach to layering pieces, textiles, and paint colors that reflect her clients style and tastes. She's not that typical interior designer out to spend her clients money frivolously, she listens and works with her clients to give them the best "bang for their buck". > > Lee Scarlett, President > Celtic Custom Homes ## Selected projects - [Historic Los Gatos Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/historic-los-gatos-remodel-pj-vj~7123873) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 25 - [Rustic Modern Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-modern-residence-pj-vj~1488898) - Location: Los Gatos, CA - Photos: 9 - [Mountain Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mountain-farmhouse-pj-vj~7165634) - Location: New Washoe City, NV - Photos: 11 - Description: European Farmhouse in Washoe Valley.

And I wonder what have you used between the beams - tongue and groove? It looks great! A: Hi Lucy, The beams along with the tongue and groove ceiling were already part of the structure when I came in to do the furnishings and design. The house was kept in most of it's original state and I remember we could not put can lighting into the ceiling as there was not space between the ceiling and roof lines. I am assuming this is the structure along with the aesthetic! Easy to add a tongue and groove (otherwise known as board and bat or shiplap) to any new or existing ceiling as well as foam beams can be placed if your ceiling is high enough! Good luck, Holly **Q: Is this bed still available?** *(in Photo Questions)* Looking for bed. A: Yes it is! It's from Robert James Collection https://robertjamescollection.com/furniture.aspx?Category=Beds It's to the trade only so let me know if I can assist you. It's available in several finishes, this particular one is the Bahia in the link above. **Q: Tile backsplash** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the tile backsplash wall behind the vanity? A: No problem! **Q: What is the cabinet color** *(in Photo Questions)* I love the cabinet color. Would you share the color name? A: so sorry, I can not find the color in our client folder... she has since sold the house as well and did not keep any record. Best of luck! **Q: tile mirror backsplash** *(in Photo Questions)* Where can I purchase this mirror backsplash tiles? A: Hi Julia - here you go! https://www.tilebar.com/paris-gray-beveled-4x12-mirror-tile.html **Q: I wish I could see the backsplash better! What's it made of?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: It's frosted glass - Waveline Mini from Island Stone --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-05.*
