## About

### Houzz Badges

- Houzz Influencer
- 1,000 Ideabook Saves

Founded in 2003 by Kelly Schandel, thinkpure specializes in interior design for residential and commercial environments in the United States and abroad. Each and every interior we touch is guided by the principles of modernism and the belief that the honest expression of natural materials leads to beauty.

We believe there is wisdom in purity. We are inspired by the uncomplicated, by the timeless, by the simple beauty of nature. As interior designers, we abide by a kind of modernism that is neither cold, nor austere. We think pure, knowing that modern design can and should be warm, comfortable and livable.

Working with both residential and commercial clients, we aim to achieve beauty in its simplest form. Natural materials that blend with an eclectic mix of furnishings. Artful, personal sanctuaries that feel effortless in design. Retail spaces stripped down to reveal a brand’s purest message. Each interior we touch balances a pared down sense of luxury with the intensity of modern life.

**★★★★★ — Gina Knox, April 2017**

> Kelly was a pleasure to work with.  She has great taste, listens, works hard and is cost conscience when need be.  Most especially, Kelly is honest and open about her pricing.  I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to update their home to a more contemporary look.

**★★★★★ — dana1rae, Feb. 2016**

> Kelly Schandel from Thinkpure has the purest of taste.  She outfitted my house in warm modern furnishings, also helping choose building materials, wall coverings, paint colors, etc.  Thinkpure specializes in pulling the look together for the whole house so that all the rooms flow seamlessly together while each one has its own individual flair.  Kelly has an incredible eye for unique and special pieces which make a statement.  She also likes to use natural materials such as stone, wood, fur, steel, etc. which all work perfectly together.  I would never use another designer - Thinkpure has the best aesthetic I've found in any designer.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Wood Floors** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you tell me type of wood; vendor, type of finish or stain ? Love these floors.

A: Hi Shelby. The floors are rift-sawn, white oak.

**Q: counter** *(in Photo Questions)*

pretty! 
What material is the counter?

A: So sorry for the late reply. For some reason, I never got a notification of your message. The counter and integrated sink in this home was made out of a solid block for Carrara marble.

**Q: Recessed Lighting** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hello - can you tell me where to find the recessed LED lights shown in this picture? I recently saw an episode of House Hunters Renovation where you featured these same style lights and have been looking for them since.  Thank you -

A: Hello. The lights in this photo are recessed rectangular architectural fixtures. I'm not sure what brand the builder used for this project, but there are numerous options. For the project you saw on HGTV, we used a trimless recessed LED light fixture from a company called Light and Green. Their website is lightandgreen.com. Best, Kelly

**Q: stool** *(in Photo Questions)*

love the stool where it comes from :)

A: This store was from a stool called DAO (Design Around Objects) in Los Angeles.

**Q: Wall sculpture** *(in Photo Questions)*

Just what I'm looking for - where can I find it?

A: The wall sculpture is actually is also a coat rack and you can purchase them on gretelhome.com. Here is the link. http://www.gretelhome.com/200-headsprung

**Q: Table** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you tell me where you purchased this dining room table?

A: Sure! Its from B+B Italia.
