My kitchen went from dark and dated to bright and modern. She helped me choose paint colors for my walls and cabinets, tile for my laundry room, light fixtures, furniture and rugs. She also helped me make dozens of choices along the way, any one of which would have paralysed me without her input. Her keen understanding of color, along with her creative vision made the renovation an unqualified success. > > Emily completely respected my budget and my personal taste, while also helping guide me in the most diplomatic way. I've made mistakes with decorating decisions in the past and Emily made sure there were no missteps. I couldn't be happier with the results of the remodel. I used Emily on an earlier project (master bed and bath reno) with equal success and I plan to use her in the future. I enthusiastically give her the highest recommendation. **Comment from Emily Hendricks Walter:** > Thank you so much! I’ve really enjoyed working with you and Keith. **★★★★★ — Hilary Zerr, March 2018** > Emily has helped me with many home projects and has done an amazing job every time! > She really takes her time to make sure your project looks good and it is something you are happy with. > She has always given me great advice on decorating my home and I've had plenty of compliments on her work! **Comment from Emily Hendricks Walter:** > Thank you so much Hilary! Look forward to working with you again in the future. **★★★★★ — hron7784, April 2014** > Moving into a new house can feel like being in someone else's space -- awkward and like a guest. I have worked with Emily over 16 years and through 2 moves, and credit her with transforming each new house into a home that reflects our interests and style. My husband and I both enjoy an eclectic environment although we are not always on the same page with regard to color. Emily listens intently and brings creative options to each new challenge, along with the cadre of resources needed to turn ideas into reality. She is reliable, talented and always upbeat. I highly recommend her work! **★★★★★ — juliegrimaldi, April 2014** > Emily has helped me with several home remodeling projects. She has a fantastic eye for color and her taste is impeccable. One of the rooms she did for our home was even featured in a newspaper article! She is very helpful with anything you might need. I have used her for things as small as consulting on a paint color for one room, and as large as redoing an entire basement. She has creative ideas. What I really like about Emily is that she listens to her clients and makes suggestions based on the their wants and needs. For us, she found things that look good but that also are durable and practical to accommodate our family. I highly recommend Emily for any home remodeling or decorating project. **★★★★★ — lisahux, April 2014** > Emily is an excellent designer. She has helped me with many decorating projects over the years. She has helped me pick paint colors, wallpaper, carpet, and more. I also purchased my family room furniture, dining room furniture, window blinds, and carpet through Emily. I have my own ideas about my style, and she always respects my tastes as well, leaving me with a family home that reflects our family. Most recently, she consulted for me on choosing all cabinets, fixtures, tile, and finishes for a major remodel of our master bathroom and laundry room. We love them both. I recommend highly recommend Emily! **★★★★★ — Bj Williams, May 2013** > Eight years ago, we build in a maintenance-provided community. Smaller furniture, new color schemes and fabrics, and open areas were just a few of the decorating issues that needed to be addressed. Emily accepted the challenge and assisted in designing a home that we have loved. > > To keep a home current and fresh, in 2013 we requested assistance in updating the colors (without changing fabrics with the exception of a decorative love seat). We needed color and room layout recommendations. > > Again, perfect! We are delighted. > > Qualities: Talented, professional, multiple choice selections, timeliness are just a few. > > We will contact Emily again and again for future home interior projects. **★★★★★ — hallmaj, May 2013** > Emily provided her interior designer skills for remodeling two bathrooms. She did an excellent job helping me pick out tile for bathroom showers and floors. In addition, she helped me with the colors for the bathroom walls, three bedroom walls, and stain color for my bathroom cabinets. She also assisted me in selecting granite for my bathroom vanities. I have used Emily in the past for designing my basement, mstr bedroom, selecting paint colors for my kitchen and bedrooms. She is very user friendly and works around my schedule. I can always be assured that she has my best interest at heart when it comes to designing my home. She puts a lot of "common sense" and "practicality" when putting together a design. I'm extremely grateful for her skills as a decorator and look forward to working with her on my next project. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and professional Interior Designer. **★★★★ — pjalber, May 2013** > I hired Emily to help me select and design a new bedding and window treatment for my Master bedroom. She had great ideas and was very > friendly and patient with me. I had a difficult time making a decision on fabrics. She is very professional and knowledgeable. ## Selected projects - [Stilwell](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stilwell-pj-vj~6123611) - Location: Stilwell, KS - Photos: 18 - [Arbor Lake](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/arbor-lake-pj-vj~1723938) - Location: Shawnee, KS - Photos: 7 - [Carriage Crossing Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/carriage-crossing-kitchen-pj-vj~968728) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Huxman](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/huxman-pj-vj~366961) - Location: Overland Park, KS - Photos: 4 - [Classic Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-contemporary-pj-vj~161421) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Edgewood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/edgewood-pj-vj~163602) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [European Country House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/european-country-house-pj-vj~161433) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Suburban remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/suburban-remodel-pj-vj~161408) - Location: Overland Park, KS - Photos: 3 [See all 8 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/emily-hendricks-walter-pfvwus-pf~1291938561) ## Ideabooks - [Nail Salon](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/112227459/list/nail-salon) — 3 ideas - [2018 Interior Design](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/107971196/list/2018-interior-design) — 29 ideas - [2017 Color and Home Design Trends](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/79971548/list/2017-color-and-home-design-trends) — 42 ideas - [Bedrooms that I want to Sleep in](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/55463553/list/bedrooms-that-i-want-to-sleep-in) — 36 ideas - [Fall Interior Design and Decor Trends 2015](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/53046534/list/fall-interior-design-and-decor-trends-2015) — 78 ideas - [Kitchen Counter tops](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/29448414/list/kitchen-counter-tops) — 38 ideas - [Bright Kitchen paint color combinations](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/22389864/list/bright-kitchen-paint-color-combinations) — 10 ideas - [window treatments](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/55464125/list/window-treatments) — 1 idea - [Cocktail Tables](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/75491832/list/cocktail-tables) — 2 ideas - [Kitchen backsplash tile above range](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/23835080/list/kitchen-backsplash-tile-above-range) — 9 ideas - [How cool is that!](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/23835951/list/how-cool-is-that) — 1 idea - [Modern monochromatic bath ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/8130195/list/modern-monochromatic-bath-ideas) — 29 ideas - [Built in Entertainment Centers](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/22389423/list/built-in-entertainment-centers) — 11 ideas - [Fresh Spring Decor Trends for 2014](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/22970371/list/fresh-spring-decor-trends-for-2014) — 33 ideas [See all 14 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/emilywalter) ## Community Q&A **Q: What is this type of wainscoting/molding called?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: picture framing **Q: love the large tiles but aren't they slippery for floor use in a bathroom** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Yes they are slippery but that is why you see a bath mat in the foreground of the picture. :) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
