## About

### Houzz Badges

- 5 Ideabook Saves

Kitchen & Bath and other remodels are always personal, complex, rather costly, and time-consuming.  That is why prior planning for your project is essential.  
I use my education as a trained and registered Interior Designer to help each client by organizing and leading their projects through complex design issues while providing creative design solutions that fit their personal needs.  I have worked with privately owned commercial spaces as well.  
A complete design package should be the first step for future changes to your space.

**★★★★★ — Jill Price, Aug. 2017**

> Ellen from Griffen Interiors made it so enjoyable to remodel our kitchen!  She was very knowledgeable about various aspects of the remodel and if she needed more information on a certain product, she didn't hesitate to find out for us.  Ellen was very professional and was enthusiastic to reach my goals with the remodel.  I couldn't imagine doing the remodel any other way--I know she was the main reason why it turned out so beautifully and just how I imagined my kitchen could be.  She listens to the clients ideas/requests without judgement and really tries to accommodate.  Thank you Griffen Interiors!!

> What could have been a nightmare( demo and remodel of kitchen, dining and living room) tiurned into a great all around project. Beginning with Ellen Griifen's professionalism. This project was so well thought out and planned that I can give credit to Ellen for making this project a reality. From the beginning interview process we knew things were going to go in the right direction. We did think the question and answer was a bit silly at first but now understand she was definately looking at the Big Picture. She was always in communication with us and our subcontractors.
> We have lived in our remodel 4 years and what I told her when it was first finished still holds true. We would not change a thing. It was the best design for our lifestyle and enjoy it every single day.

**★★★★★ — Karlee Govig, June 2017**

> We did not have a pantry in our very small kitchen.  Ellen suggested putting a large, under-the-counter lazy Susan in each corner.  I no longer have to walk to the basement for my pantry.
> Ellen's advice and help was invaluable!

**★★★★★ — Debra Belt, June 2017**

> Ellen @ Griffen Interiors was a delight to work with. Knowledgeable, prompt, and fun to work with. Mindful of our budget and concerns. Will definitely work with her again.
