**★★★★★ — chelseywright, Oct. 2024**

> Wendy is the absolute best at what she does. Over the course of 8 years I have done multiple major remodels with her, including a total kitchen overhaul, primary bathroom overhaul, laundry room, a powder room, mudroom, and kids and guest bathroom.  Every single project has turned out even better than we dreamed. Wendy does an excellent job of honing our vision, holds our hand through design selection to make everything cohesive, and works with the multitude of trades needed to complete the projects. Excellent communication and professionalism, and she is one of the kindest people I've ever met. I cannot recommend Wendy enough, she's incredible.

**★★★★★ — HU-358874393, Nov. 2023**

> We recently moved into a new, larger home in need of a LOT of work. And, we were moving in from out of town.
> Wendy was our decorator and she was absolutely terrific!
>
> Wendy has fantastic contractors. Even though we've moved in we continue to use them. She spent hours and hours with us on big and small things- painting, floor refinishing, carpet selection and installation, lighting, etc.  She. helped us figure out how to use our existing furniture and what to add. Wendy did a super job of getting to know our taste and helping to make our house a home that we truly love. She worked with the different views the two of us had and our desire to have quality products but not spend exorbitant amounts of money.
> She is ALWAYS  positive, reliable and helpful. She even worked with me on selecting small objects and cushions to finish our rooms. And, she helped lay things out in a way that works and is beautiful including smaller things such as arranging our shelves.
>
> I can't say enough positive about Wendy. We loved working with her- it was really fun and our new home is truly gorgeous!

**★★★★★ — Dixie, Nov. 2022**

> Working with Wendy has been so wonderful!  She listens to my interests and is timely in making suggestions that fit my style and budget, and even has stretched and challenged me with suggestions I would normally not consider--and have been delighted with all her selections!  I have been working with her for over a year on various projects and can't say enough about her exceptional professionalism, creativity, attention detail, and dependability.

**★★★★★ — debbiewhitecba, Nov. 2022**

> I would highly recommend using Wendy with Inside Out.   This is our second time of using Wendy with Inside Out for remodeling our 1950s house.  Wendy worked with us remotely helping us to fine tune layout, select tile, cabinets, fixtures and décor.  Wendy has been very communicative on timing, pricing and the process of a remodel.   Her knowledge base of the industry and ability to combine both of our personalities and likes into a beautiful design amazes us daily.   If you are in need of anything and everything interior design, Wendy is the way to go!!

**★★★★★ — jennifer fisher, Nov. 2022**

> Wendy is amazing. We are using her services to renovate our first floor and kitchen. From the beginning she has been able to see my vision and help me choose things that are congruent with that vision. Wendy has always been the utmost professional and has a great relationship with builders and tradespeople.  She is always available to talk about the project and is on site with my contractor on a regular basis. She goes above and beyond to keep me on track with what needs to be done at any particular moment. But most of all, she is a kind and generous person who I enjoy working with immensely.

**★★★★★ — Logue Design Inc., March 2022**

> I’ve worked with Wendy for over 20 years as a custom furniture maker, and her ability to articulate her vision for design captures the client’s desire completely.  I’ve witnessed Wendy’s client interactions, and have greatly admired her ability to expand her client’s design horizons!
> Wendy is professionalism personified.  Her work ethic, listening skills, and follow through is what I wish for in every designer.

**★★★★★ — gina hernezbroome, Nov. 2021**

> Hiring Inside Out and Wendy for our home remodel was the best decision.  Initially I was overwhelmed with the possibilities and so put my trust in Wendy and was not disappointed. She quickly took note of my taste and preferences and complimented them perfectly. Wendy narrowed the options, coordinated things beautifully, and produced stunning results. I could not be more pleased!  She was fantastic to work with being available, hands on, and patient.  I highly recommend Inside Out and will use them for all future work.

**★★★★★ — cathyleemarkham, Oct. 2021**

> I'm a decorative paint specialist, and have worked with Wendy for decades. She's got a sharp eye, and really cares about her clients and their comfort. She's professional and engaging, and a pleasure to work with. She helps her clients see their surroundings in a fresh, relevant way.

**★★★★★ — HU-498781474, Oct. 2021**

> Wendy and Inside Out are amazing!  We did a complete remodel of a 100 year old house.  But we could not have done it without Wendy's guidance and expertise.  She is extremely knowledgeable in every aspect of construction/remodeling.  Her professionalism is beyond reproach.  I would highly recommend Inside out for all your design/remodeling projects!

**★★★★★ — laura neumann, Sept. 2021**

> I have worked with Wendy over 12 years.  Originally, we hired her to upgrade our living and family rooms with custom rugs and recovering some furniture pieces.  That progressed to custom linens in my daughter’s room (that still adorn her room in our new house 10 years later).  The finale was a complete remodel of our fairly dated kitchen to include new cabinetry, appliances, and tile work.  The finished kitchen was deemed magazine-worthy and has been a showpiece in the successful sale of our family home twice since we owned it.  Moving to a new home in Manitou Springs in 2017, that begged for a contemporary flair, Wendy designed the layout of our living room, outdoor deck, and completely remodeled our guest bath downstairs.  She seamlessly moved from one design preference to another and customized our home décor accordingly.  Over the years, Wendy has become “my go to” professional for all my design upgrades for every indoor and outdoor space.

**★★★★★ — Peer Jacobson, Sept. 2019**

> My wife and I bought a home for our retirement in Colorado Springs that required a near tear-down to restore it properly. We had renovated our current home in Chicago so I felt familiar with the process and pitfalls. Early in this new project, I worked only with my contractor on the overall design, kitchen layouts, etc, thinking we could handle the renovation, but quickly realized we needed a professional interior/exterior designer to help with the hundreds of decisions before us.  Since we lived in Chicago during the 1.5 year renovation, having someone who we could trust, communicate with at any time, was critical. Wendy saved our project from the day she drove on site.  First off, Wendy listened closely to what my wife and I envisioned for the home, and worked within our frame-of-comfort, not only to provide design options, but to make recommendations based upon her extensive experience. As issues arose, from choosing shingle color, gable design, interior/exterior paint color, kitchen hardware, bathroom layout and tile, lighting, vanities and more, Wendy provided her opinion keeping in mind how the total project would come together in the end.  Many decisions need to be made early on (electrical outlet placement, window locations) to avoid costly changes at the end, and Wendy helped minimize those errors.  Through Wendy’s experience working in high-end homes, she has developed trusted relationships with professional tradesmen and women who are masters and artisans. From countertop installations to complex tile layouts, these people did their jobs to perfection.  Wendy is so easy to work with, and I could count on her with the largest or smallest task.  I never had to ask twice, and her pro-active, on-site, hands-on work ethic made her an integral member of the team.  She coordinated everything with my contractor and kept me in the loop on all discussions.  She doesn’t milk the time clock, and her fees are extremely reasonable for what she delivers.  Having made a total renovation investment of over $700K (not including cost of home), I can't image having gone through this process without her.  Even for much smaller jobs, I cannot recommend Wendy Haywood from InsideOut highly enough.  You will not be disappointed.

**★★★★★ — Mari Hull, Sept. 2019**

> We have known Wendy for years now as she helped us build a home after the Black Forest Fire. She was kind and gracious when we were not in a good place to make decisions. She was able to lead us in home selections AND furnishings after and really created a home that looks and feels just like us. I’ve seen her other homes and she really can do anything! She’s amazing, approachable and easy to talk to. Highly recommend her
