We strongly recommend Inge as she is a top-end designer and helped us throughout all stages of our home completion. > > Inge was open to our ideas and vision and assisted us with everything throughout, no detail being too small. She is always available and assisted us when dealing with local as well as out-of-state vendors. Inge also educated us along the way to ensure that our home was designed perfectly, down to the smallest detail. Inge has a flair for creativity and is always on the cutting edge of current design trends. > > Every decision, however stressful, was always met with a positive attitude and eagerness. We made our decisions with confidence with Inge as our guide. Inge also inspected all installations along the way with an eye for perfection. > > Having Inge as a designer is a “must” if you are looking for high end results. To this day as we finish up with more furniture selections, we do not make a move without consulting with Inge! Combined with the quality workmanship led by Marc Daniels and Big Mountain Builders and Jim Atkinson’s architectural work, Inge’s design skills are unmatched. We truly had a dream team and are proud to give Inge the highest recommendation. > > Lisa and Dave Wiley **★★★★★ — Justin/Ronda Steinbach, April 2020** > Inga is a true professional, passionate about her work. She tended to details, went out of her way to make sure things were right. She returned calls and emails in a timely fashion, arrived on time to our meetings. She even brought us fresh cherries from her home! We would highly recommend her!! Thank you! **★★★★★ — Shellie Weber, Feb. 2020** > “Consistency is found in that work whose whole and detail are suitable to the occasion. It arises from circumstance, custom and nature.” – Vitruvius > > In reading through Inge’s reviews, a common theme emerges, her eye for detail married to an ability to sense (almost supernaturally) the look and feel the client is looking for in home design. > > We are very happy to write that our experience was no different. In fact, we echo word-for-word the four reviews previously submitted on Houzz: Sockinit 9.20.2015; Marilyn 10.6.2019; Gretchen 2.13.2017; Judy 3.9.2017 > > We met Inge on the first day we signed on for a house project in the builder’s office. Frankly, we were concerned about being involved in a project while living 1,000 miles away. You see this was our first visit to Whitefish with a single purpose to enjoy Valentine’s day weekend. But there we were, meeting with Inge to discuss the details and timeline of our next forever home. Looking back now, we would have to say that the conversation with Inge cemented our commitment. > > From beginning to end, Inge helped convert flat sheets of paper into our home. Her design and project management skills are the best we have experienced, and we looked forward to spending time with her working through the details. We approached every challenge with enthusiasm because Inge was on our team. While we love our new home, the hardest part with finishing our build project was not having our “daily Inge time”. > > Inge’s expertise encompasses design, color, proportion, fixtures, furnishings, light, the list continues (internally and externally). > > Please contacts us directly, if you have particular questions. If you select Inge, your project will absolutely be better for it! > > Karl & Shellie Weber **★★★★★ — Marilyn Brown, Oct. 2019** > First I would like to thank Inge Cahill of Home Matters for helping us to create our perfect dream home!

Inge is definitely your go to expert, no matter the size of your project, budget or style. She will keep you on schedule and ensure that your selections are cohesive with your overall design plan.

She acts as the liaison between builder, subcontractors and vendors and pays close attention to details. She kept the entire project on schedule and within budget. Not an easy task! In fact our home was completed ahead of schedule. > > I highly recommend Inge and look forward to working with her in the future! **★★★★★ — Sally Urie, Aug. 2019** > Home matters was recommended to me by a friend, and I have to say I couldn't have done it without her, she us amazing.

We had never built a home before so we needed someone with deep expertise and much patience. She provided both! She was with us everyday to help with the decisions from picking out lighting, understanding the layout of a space, to even helping with the actual move in. Her attention to detail helped us to complete our dream house! We enjoyed every bit of the experience. We highly recommend Inge and Home Matters! **★★★★★ — Marianne marclick@yahoo.com, Jan. 2019** > I so enjoyed working with Inge and having her expertise at hand! She was able understand my visions and incorporate her own creative ideas to improve designs throughout our whole house. Her attention to detail and sense of scale were invaluable not to mention her communication and reliability! Best of all, she made the design portion of building a house a lot of fun! **★★★★★ — JP Hradil, April 2018** > Inge assisted us over the duration of our house build both with interior and exterior elements. She is an immense wealth of knowledge and ideas, and was very helpful in helping us balance the aesthetic and practical/financial aspects and problem solve design dilemmas. Inge has great design ideas and assisted us through the seemingly thousand decisions that accompany a new build. Most importantly, she is an excellent communicator. I found her very pleasant and easy to work with, and always available. She was also a great bridge in helping us work with our builder, and keep us on track. Excellent experience. **★★★★★ — judi queirolo, March 2017** > Several years ago, my husband and I bought a parcel of land in Whitefish, MT with the idea of building a summer home. We have been planning the home for almost 20 years. However, late in 2015 we found out that the HOA had numerous new requirements and restrictions. The project quickly became extremely complicated not only because of all the rules, but because we were trying to do this long distance from Arizona. We were lucky to have a great contractor, but the best part was that he contracted for the services of Inge Cahill of Home Matters to advise and coordinate with us. Inge is extremely knowledgable of both construction and decorating but also of the local area. She patiently shepherded us through all the various vendors and advise d of the places with best services and products and best discounts. She was on hand 24-7 for my phone calls and questions.She was able to be my eyes on the project and we avoided a number of pitfalls due to her expertise. She absolutely saved me from stressing out over all the little problems that arose and the numerous decisions, like what hinges or door knobs to pick. I can say with full confidence that anyone using Inge's services will get more than their money's worth. **★★★★★ — Gretchen Henstorf, Feb. 2017** > I was initially introduced to Inge Cahill (Home Matters) by my builder, Marc Daniels of Big Mountain Builders, LLC. What I didn’t know at the first meeting but did learn through the 8 months of construction of my home is that from her training and experience, Inge can quickly determine the behaviors and movements of the home owner in their living environment in order to create spaces that are both attractive and functional. > > Inge reviewed the house plans with me, discussed then walked through the spaces with me and suggested modifications that might work best for my lifestyle. Her eye for function of interior spaces was essential to providing ergonomic, acoustic, traffic flow patterns that made sense in my new home. > > Inge worked with me to perfect a timeline - to have decisions made in advance of need - to keep in sync with the builder and his sub contractors. She kept me one (or more) steps ahead of the timeframe for ordering materials and their installation. > > With her expertise, I was able to review and decide flooring, bathroom and kitchen fixtures, stone, tile, cabinetry, interior timbers, lighting, color, hardware requirements, fireplace details, etc. before construction. Her resources, contacts and connections saved me immeasurable time. She accompanied me to assist in making the right decisions for my home, avoid costly mistakes, save money and ultimately increase the value of my home. > > As my home reached completion, Inge counseled me regarding room functionality: creating organized spaces, the use of color, window coverings, and furniture placement. > > I came to depend on Inge for her professional advice and to help me stay one step ahead of Marc Daniels and his subcontractors. > > I will continue to utilize Inge's superb organizational and design skills in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a bright, well organized and well connected professional to assist with all issues related to a home or office environment. **★★★★★ — Lisa Dobbins, Feb. 2017** > If I could give Inge 10 stars...I would. Inge is absolutely hands down fantastic. When we purchased a home in Montana, we knew it would be very difficult to get the interior designed and furnished from our residence in California. We were very excited to meet Inge and get started on this project. We had a tight budget and a tight deadline and we had to rely heavily on Inge to take care of everything. Inge worked within all of these constraints to perfection. We furnished this house with only 1 trip to Montana in person and many phone calls and texts. Whenever Inge said she was going to take care of something, she did. She always followed through and was in communication with me whenever necessary. I cannot recommend Inge enough, she is such a professional and has an incredible eye. She kept in mind my personal preferences all while steering me towards furniture and decor that just looks sharp! In a matter of 2 months we went from a brand new empty house to a beautifully warm and welcoming home. We absolutely love the house and are so extremely appreciative of Inge and her talents. She is the the BEST! I most definitely hope to work with her again soon. **★★★★★ — Diane Kane, Dec. 2016** > Inge strives to understand her client's individual tastes and style; her recommendations often enhanced mine. She follows deadlines to a tee and sticks to the budget, while helping to make choices that reflect quality and practical use. In my opinion, she is the best! ## Selected projects - [Point of View](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/point-of-view-pj-vj~2469828) - Location: Whitefish, MT - Photos: 13 - [Mountain Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mountain-modern-pj-vj~271131) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 28 - [Mountain Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mountain-home-pj-vj~2431894) - Location: Whitefish, MT - Photos: 8 - Description: rustic, large wood burning Fireplace, bunk beds, rustic modern furniture, circle sawn wood floor, large windows - [Stonegate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stonegate-pj-vj~237821) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [Ashley Lake Lodge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ashley-lake-lodge-pj-vj~237895) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [Southern Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/southern-home-pj-vj~237886) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Nature Trail Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nature-trail-home-pj-vj~1364986) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Whitefish Hills](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whitefish-hills-pj-vj~237909) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Whitefish](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whitefish-pj-vj~237920) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [House on the Prairie](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/house-on-the-prairie-pj-vj~237914) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Whitefish Lake](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whitefish-lake-pj-vj~237906) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [before & after](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/before-and-after-pj-vj~237935) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Roman Shades](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/roman-shades-pj-vj~356617) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: Custom roman shades add warmth, color, and privacy.
