Fernanda and her team had so many options to meet my needs and she delivered the most beautiful product! Just our style and was on point with budget! Thank you!! **★★★★★ — John Tarbet, Nov. 2020** > We are just finishing a remodel of our kitchen, hearth room and sun room. Once again, Gina has given us just what we asked for. The rooms are beautiful and the accents are just right. She has been invaluable working with providers and the contractors taking care of issues that would have been difficult for us to resolve. > This is the second time we have used Gina. Both projects are just what we wanted. I don’t foresee a future project, but if there is one, she will definitely be called. **Comment from GMI Design Group:** > Thank you, John! It's been my privilege to work with you on your projects. I'm so happy you are pleased with the results! :) **★★★★★ — Naedrie Bonucchi, Oct. 2020** > Gina got us through an monster renovation. We did a full gut, remodel (moved walls) and addition to our kitchen and laundry room. It was an absolute beast of a project that was complicated by some issues with vendors. Gina, was a level-headed professional through it all and took us from a dark and congested room to an absolute show-stopper of a kitchen. We are so grateful for her vision and expertise! **Comment from GMI Design Group:** > Thank you! It was a fun project and you were a fantastic client! :) **★★★★★ — VICKI SIGMAN, Aug. 2019** > After moving to a new location, we needed someone to tackle some design problems in our kitchen. We hired Gina to redesign our kitchen and eating space and to recommend products for not only function but decoration. We definitely recommend Gina for interior design needs. Gina patiently answered all of our design questions and chose products for us that match who we are and what we enjoy! We are in the home stretch for completing our remodeled kitchen and are so excited about enjoying this remodeled space for many years to come. **Comment from GMI Design Group:** > Thanks, Vicki! I'm glad you are loving your new kitchen! **★★★★★ — Jamie Whitt, Jan. 2019** > Gina did an excellent job. From start to finish she made the process extremely easy. After the initial visit, she provided us with a digital preview of what the space would look like which allowed us to see her vision for the space from the very beginning. She took our style and requests for what we wanted to do with the space and showed us something we fell in love with from the start. She knows a number of contractors and made the pricing process transparent and when we were happy, arranged everything from demo, plumbing, electric, tile install, carpet install, to the final little details that really made the space feel like something special. Everything was taken care of and the process went as smoothly as could be expected. > > Bottom Line: For the next major project, I would definitely use Gina again and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking to tackle a remodel project. She'll take what you want and turn it into something better than you could have expected. **Comment from GMI Design Group:** > Thank you for the very kind words, Jamie! You were EXCELLENT clients and it was so fun to work on your bathroom remodel! I'm so glad you love it! **★★★★★ — Josh Tarbet, Dec. 2018** > My wife and I bought a new house that needed some updating. Gina was able to design a concept that worked well with the house. She oversaw the whole process from demo to move in day. We are so very pleased and would use her again, so we did..... > > I contacted Gina about doing a larger project for our church foyer and she ran with it. Gina met with several committees and leaders and really listened to how the the foyer was used. She even came on several sight visits to watch the space in use. She then came up with a plan that would incorporate some existing elements but made them better. Her plan included several concepts on how to more efficiently and effectively use the space. With how the space is used throughout the week, I thought for sure we would experience so many delays in order to accommodate the churches schedule. However, that was not the case, every one worked together and the project was finished on time. Now the space is more inviting and functional and looks amazing!!! **Comment from GMI Design Group:** > Thank you so much, Josh, for trusting me with such a large, challenging and important project. We really enjoyed working on this and are very happy that you are pleased with the results. **★★★★ — Lissa Hamblen, Jan. 2018** > Gina was so responsive during our remodel. I really appreciated being able to text her at all hours and get a prompt response to questions. Gina's design was exactly what we hoped for when considering updates to our full house. We had a couple of areas run over in cost but it wasn't something Gina could control. I would recommend her to a friend. **Comment from GMI Design Group:** > Thank you so much, Lissa! I really enjoyed working with you! **★★★★★ — Val W, Nov. 2017** > After looking over several designers’ work on Houzz and other sites, my husband and I settled on Gina from Gina McMurtrey Interiors to help us do a fairly extensive remodel of our upstairs, including our kitchen/dining, hallway/stairs, and guest bathroom. Gina did an excellent job figuring out what our tastes were, especially considering the fact that I am truly design-challenged and could not begin to describe what “styles” I liked or disliked. Simply from looking at our house during the initial consultation, hearing me say, “I want it to look peaceful and uncluttered”, and looking over a lot of pictures I tagged and said I did NOT like for various reasons, Gina managed to put together a design that nailed my hopes and expectations perfectly. > > The team of contractors Gina has working with her are all top-notch. Pros both in their specific professions, as well as in their attitudes and commitment to do quality work. It was a little unnerving when I thought of having a multitude of strangers in and out of my house for weeks on end, especially as I was home with my kids during large portions of that time, but never once did I feel uncomfortable or uneasy with the contractors she had assigned to my job. And the quality of work they performed was outstanding. If anything was later discovered to have a flaw, they were back out in short order to correct the problem and make sure it was “done right”. > > If anyone thinks, going into a remodel project of the size we did, that there won’t be snafus or bumps along the way, they are sadly mistaken. Unfortunately, our world is not perfect and neither are the people who live and work in it. The question is not, “Will there be bumps?” but instead, “How will everyone deal with the bumps when they occur?” That is where Gina and her team’s commitment to doing the job right and with excellence really shone through. “Bumps” were promptly addressed and corrected, and attitudes were customer-oriented. > > By the end of our project, the whole space was magazine-worthy and amazingly beautiful. But even more important to me - it was so much more functional! The kitchen, especially, is the hub of our home and is used extensively. It only took me a day or two of living in the new, beautiful, highly efficient kitchen that Gina designed before I kicked myself for waiting so long to remodel it. If you’re thinking of hiring a designer to help with a remodel, I’d highly recommend you give Gina a call. **Comment from GMI Design Group:** > Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words! I loved working with you on your kitchen and am so glad you were pleased with the process as well as the results. **★★★★★ — Shawn Randles, Nov. 2017** > We finished a MB remodel with Gina and the entire experience was amazing! Throughout the entire process she listened to our wants and desires and exceeded our expectations. During the design phase we knew we trusted her completely. He professionalism, work-ethic, and design skills are impressive. When the bids came in they were higher than we could afford so she went to work making some cuts while trying not to compromise the integrity of the design look we had agreed upon. She used a new glass installer for the first time who was much cheaper. We were not pleased with the glass and neither was Gina. She let that installer go, called her trusted sub, AND she ate the cost of the glass. We couldn't be more pleased with the way we were treated. The finished product is a dream Master Bath. We will only use Gina McMurtrey Interiors for our next project. **Comment from GMI Design Group:** > Thank you for your incredibly kind words! I enjoyed working with you and Alana on your bathroom and am so glad you love your space! **★★★★★ — ANDREA GREEN, Oct. 2017** > We love having the opportunity to collaborate with such an incredible designer! She has amazing style and creativity. It's always exciting seeing her work come to life. Extremely impressed with her ability to manage her projects and her ability to take a normal space and transform it into a custom designed masterpiece! **Comment from GMI Design Group:** > Thank you so much for you kind words! It’s been a pleasure working with you too! **★★★★★ — Bob Scranton, Oct. 2017** > We have worked with Gina McMurtrey Interiors on several projects now. Its always a Pleasure to work on a job where Gina is involved. Everything is scheduled and planned out to the finest details. Gina will bring some new and innovative ideas to your project. Hands down one of the Best Decorators in the Springfield area. **Comment from GMI Design Group:** > Thank you so much, Bob! I always know when I work with you that the project is going to turn out great and my clients are going to be thrilled. **★★★★★ — Built By Brett, Oct. 2017** > I've work with many designers over the years, and Gina is one of the best to work with that I have known. She has a calm and steady demeanor, honest, talented in selecting colors and materials and communicates well with the trades. She is very conscientious and is always looking for ways to improve the process. If you need an Interior Designer, I would recommend Gina! **Comment from GMI Design Group:** > Thank you so much! What incredibly kind words to say! It was my privilege to work with you and your team. ## Selected projects - [Kingscliff Master Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kingscliff-master-bathroom-pj-vj~7178962) - Location: Nixa, MO - Photos: 10 - [Updated Traditional Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/updated-traditional-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~6988716) - Location: Springfield, MO - Photos: 35 - [Kids Fun Zone](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kids-fun-zone-pj-vj~6983299) - Location: Springfield, MO - Photos: 34 - [Contemporary Powder Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-powder-room-pj-vj~6978720) - Location: Monett, MO - Photos: 3 - [Classic Glam Master Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-glam-master-bath-pj-vj~6978682) - Location: Republic, MO - Photos: 37 - [Timeless Prairie Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/timeless-prairie-kitchen-pj-vj~6978629) - Location: Monett, MO - Photos: 28 - Description: DESIGNER - Fernanda Edwards Open concept kitchen with breakfast nook, hearth room, and butler’s kitchen. - [Modern Oasis](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-oasis-pj-vj~6843453) - Location: Springfield, MO - Photos: 10 - Description: DESIGNER - Fernanda Edwards My thoughts when stepping into this bathroom were: Let’s get to work, because it needs a lot of it! The lofty goals were to make the space look and feel bigger, modernize it, optimize storage, create a large couple’s shower, make it low maintenance, and reflect the owner’s edgy minimalistic clean taste. The design inspiration was a geometric sculpture of red lips that the client loved. The space was small for a master bathroom. A wall was moved, widening the room and… - [Southern Hills Fresh Update](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/southern-hills-fresh-update-pj-vj~6657939) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 25 - Description: After 25+ years with minimal changes, these homeowners decided it was time for an update in their kitchen, living room and dining room. The 1950s ranch-style home still had the original Saltillo Tile, and while this terra cotta tile is coming back into vogue, it has been an aspect of the house that the homeowners have struggled with (and eventually downright loathed) for years. The wood-slatted ceilings just needed some love, but bulky track lighting and blah fixtures needed to be changed. The w… - [Traditional Kitchen Expansion](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-kitchen-expansion-pj-vj~7085662) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 35 - Description: DESIGNER: Gina McMurtrey - [Modern Eclectic Master Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-eclectic-master-bedroom-pj-vj~6843500) - Location: Springfield, MO - Photos: 6 - Description: DESIGNER - Fernanda Edwards This primary suite needed some major attention. The words that the client used to describe it were “outdated” and “dark.” This bedroom was a good size but lacked appropriate wall space for the placement of the bed, making the furniture arrangement awkward and wasteful. The goals for the space were to create a furniture placement plan that made sense, add a seating/lounge area where this couple can relax away from their young children, plus make it bright, light, moder… - [Magenta Jungle](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/magenta-jungle-pj-vj~6843476) - Location: Springfield, MO - Photos: 5 - Description: DESIGNER - Fernanda Edwards This small bathroom went through quite a transformation! This was a rarely used half bathroom on the house’s second floor. The goals of the space were not just to make it more functional for the family, but also to bring more life, fun, and personality to this powder room. Since the family did not utilize this half bathroom often, we decided to bring more functionality by adding a bathtub/shower combo and transform it into a full bathroom. We used a streamlined contem… - [Mid-Century Modern Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-century-modern-remodel-pj-vj~6584931) - Location: Springfield, MO - Photos: 69 - Description: This 1950's home was chopped up with the segmented rooms of the period. The front of the house had two living spaces, separated by a wall with a door opening, and the long-skinny hearth area was difficult to arrange. The kitchen had been remodeled at some point, but was still dated. The homeowners wanted more space, more light, and more MODERN. So we delivered. We pulled off panelling, knocked out the walls and added a beam to open up the three spaces. Luxury vinyl tile in a warm, matte black se… - [Mother's Suite Kitchenette](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mother-s-suite-kitchenette-pj-vj~6585006) - Location: Springfield, MO - Photos: 35 - Description: Caring for aging parents is both a joy and a challenge. The clients wanted to create a more aging-in-place friendly basement area for their mother. The existing kitchenette was more of a glorified bar and did not give her the option of cooking independently, and definitely not stylishly. DESIGNER: Gina McMurtrey We re-configured the area so it was all open, with full kitchen capabilities. All appliances were selected to cater to the mother's limited reach, so all functional storage and product u… - [Modern Duplex](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-duplex-pj-vj~6556545) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: Designer: Fernanda Edwards This duplex living room was a real challenge due to its many different angled walls. Furniture placement required some real skill to maximize seating, function, comfort and style. By designating the entertainment center as the focal point for the room, selecting appropriate sized furniture and placing it in angles, the room came together as a lovely place to sit, relax and entertain. New accent lighting and entryway chandelier elevated the space with warmth and style.… - [Pop Art Home Office](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pop-art-home-office-pj-vj~6499656) - Location: Springfield, MO - Photos: 3 - Description: Designed by Fernanda Edwards Nobody said that a home office had to be boring! In fact, a home office is the perfect place to show your personality and leave your mark. This office is now a fun and productive place where the clients are happy to work inside. In the client’s words: “I love working in my new office! I am so much more productive, energetic, creative, and feel like I can take on the day as I walk into work”. - [Modern Rustic Master Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-rustic-master-bathroom-pj-vj~6474399) - Location: Springfield, Missouri - Photos: 11 - Description: Designed by Fernanda Edwards - [Bright Modern Guest Bath Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bright-modern-guest-bath-remodel-pj-vj~6474404) - Location: Springfield, Missouri - Photos: 8 - Description: Designed by Fernanda Edwards - [Harley Home Gym](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/harley-home-gym-pj-vj~6585041) - Location: Willard, MO - Photos: 11 - Description: Ugh. Exercising. This guest bedroom turned home gym was hardly inspiring also. That has all changed! The bold orange ceiling and overscale motorcycle mural set the stage for an inspired work out. 12x24 carpet tiles even mimic the look of tire treads. LED accent lighting shows off the huge photograph focal point. The space is plenty large enough for several pieces of equipment, all facing door-mounted mirrors (to keep the form, of course) and a wall-mounted TV. This space is now going to pump...y… - [Modern Shabby Chic Master Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-shabby-chic-master-bedroom-pj-vj~6427302) - Location: Fair Grove, Missouri - Photos: 17 - Description: Designed by Gina McMurtrey This bedroom was beige and bland. Beige walls, beige carpet, beige bedding. The room needed some life, yet be a space where this busy single mother and Urgent Care physician could get some much needed rest and relaxation. A deep, grey-purple on the walls set the stage, and fabrics in variants of heathered purple, plum, pinks and roses was chosen for the bedding. Bright, mustard yellow added some excitement to the muted tones. The custom bedding creates an environment o… - [Updated Traditional Kitchen, Living Room & Sunroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/updated-traditional-kitchen-living-room-and-sunroom-pj-vj~6566149) - Location: Springfield, Missouri - Photos: 35 - Description: This kitchen, living room and sunroom needed updating. The terracotta range hood and walls, combined with dark countertops and faux brick backsplash made the kitchen very dark. The cabinets were in great condition, so we capitalized on the beautiful wood by using Cambria Brittanicca Warm Quartz. The natural marble backsplash tile has a geometric inlay of grey-green marble, which coordinated perfectly with the green hood and island. A warm charcoal glaze was added to the green to give depth.
