She is a joy to work with. She listened to my ideas and what I liked, but came up with options I never would have thought about on my own. She has a great eye for color and pulling a room together. I love how everything turned out! **Comment from Style It Home:** > Thank you Debbie!

I'm very happy that you love how everything turned out! **★★★★★ — dtubb64@gmail.com, Dec. 2021** > Carolyn did an amazing job picking all paint colors for our whole house as well as choosing kitchen backsplash options, stone for the fireplace and furniture layout and picture placement. Wonderful to work with and great inputs/ideas. **Comment from Style It Home:** > Thank you! I'm quite happy that you enjoyed the experience. Your newly purchased home is now warm, cozy and filled with your family's beautiful story. You have incredible family heirlooms and collections, and it's all pulled together in a way that makes family and friends that visit feel welcomed and comfortable. This has been a fantastic collaborative project! Thank you so much for trusting the Style It Home process! **★★★★★ — Jen Infantino, Dec. 2020** > Our house in Saint Charles was built in 2003 so we felt we were long overdue for some updates. We were looking to go from cherry-stained oak floors & cabinets throughout the house, but were very nervous to pick the wrong colors & really didn’t know what other improvements would be the best way to go within our budget. That’s when we called Carolyn. First, we loved how she responded so quickly and then came by with large samples of paint, floor stains, backsplash tiles and countertop samples. To have the professional samples in our space made things so much easier, along with her guidance, not to mention her patience! While we were working together, she asked to see pictures of what we liked & then tried to recreate the essence of the pics while still working w/ our furniture, paint colors on the walls & trim colors - since they weren’t going to be changing. This was no easy task! She is a true color specialist - knowing how all of the undertones work and how different light bulbs affect the appearance of paint as well as how natural light affects it - not to mention all of the different sheen options & what to use where. Carolyn had answers for everything! She was so kind with her mannerisms, so detail oriented & concise with her instructions. She also had great referrals for tradesmen and always responded to my texts & calls right away. As we were working together, I started following her on IG and she has an awesome profile! Thank you Carolyn! You are the best!!! **Comment from Style It Home:** > Thank you Jennifer, it’s been such a pleasure working with you on this fabulous transformation! I’m so happy that you enjoyed my Style It Home process and system. Enjoy your “new” 2003 home with your beautiful family! **★★★★★ — tree\_currivan, Dec. 2018** > We recently purchased a home built in 1989 that had all of its original everything. Same light fixtures, carpeting and wall colors. Carolyn design elements were very considerate of our budget and our goals for use of the house. > > We wanted it to feel brighter and newer with a bit of an organic feel. She listened and then made selections for and with us. She selected wood floors, paint colors, carpeting, light fixtures, vanities and later the furniture rugs and art placement to pull our spaces together. > > We are loving the new look and feel and would still be stuck making decisions if it wasn’t for her wise design selections. **Comment from Style It Home:** > Thank you Teresa! I am so happy that you are enjoying the new look and feel of your home! It's the best compliment to know that you are enjoying your home now. **★★★★★ — Bharti Patel, Jan. 2018** > Carolyn is a very talented lady. She has an AMAZING ability to work with colors. Carolyn is very dependable and completed our project on time. We are happy with the budget-friendly plan for updating our property including the selection of paint colors, hardwood stain, and new light fixtures. Also, Style It Home staged our unoccupied townhome with SIH furniture and inventory to appeal to my home's unique urban buyers in a competitive market. We were happy with multiple offers after being on the market for 20 days. We look forward to working with Carolyn on our future projects. **Comment from Style It Home:** > Thank you Bharti! I'm so happy that you enjoyed the process and the results!! **★★★★★ — kgreen35, Dec. 2017** > Carolyn from Style It Home was an absolute pleasure to work with! She’s kind, funny, and extremely knowledgeable about current trends and traditional styling. I desperately needed my family room redone and she helped me select a wall paint color that worked best with my fireplace brick and larger furniture. It is light and airy and highlights the room perfectly. She worked her “magic” with my furnirure, accessories, and artwork placement. She even used some of my own photography to fill the walls. Carolyn took time to go shopping with me to pick out a new area rug and accessories. I was on a strict budget and she also knew that I was looking for a dining room set. Carolyn found me a set that works beautifully in my dining space. I needed a new roof as well and she met with me and my contractor to help select a roof color that is classic and timeless. Carolyn has an eye for detail I am excited to work with her on my next project! **Comment from Style It Home:** > Thank you kgreen for your very nice review! It has been a pleasure working with you on your home projects! I look forward to working with you on your future home design projects so you and your family can continue to enjoy a fresh aethetic and function in your beautiful home! **★★★★★ — Leslie Chinman, Dec. 2017** > I was looking for some help in styling my family room, which is right off the kitchen, and turn my old formal dining room into a cozy hanging out space. Carolyn was very knowledgeable and had a lot of great ideas. She helped me with the placement of my furniture, gave me ideas on how to use my space better, and made it look beautiful in the process! I would highly recommend her for your project! **Comment from Style It Home:** > Thank you Leslie for your kind words! I am so happy that you enjoyed the process of our design work and that you describe your space as beautiful! Our goal is always to create a pleasant experience and a beautiful functional home for our clients. **★★★★★ — Nate Shields, Feb. 2017** > Carolyn and her team were very helpful with design choices, colors, lighting, etc. The staging turned out great and we had a buyer within 48 hours. Even as a real estate professional, I was on the fence about staging, but I can see the tremendous value it brings. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Style It Home for all your staging and design needs. **★★★★★ — Kristie Barnett, The Decorologist, Dec. 2016** > Carolyn will bring a high level of knowledge, talent, commitment, and heart to your project! She is always motivated to please her clients and maximize their homes' potential. **★★★★★ — Roy Paeth, Dec. 2016** > Carolyn is a consummate professional with a great eye for what needs to be done to make a home more appealing to today's buyers. My clients embraced most of Carolyn's recommendations which in turn lead to my client's home going under contract with just our second showing. I truly believe that Carolyn is a critical part of my real estate team. **Comment from Style It Home:** > Roy, thank you for your very kind review. It is a pleasure working with you and your home sellers! ## Selected projects - [Geneva Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/geneva-remodel-pj-vj~7107466) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Geneva Eagle Brook Family Room Redesign](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/geneva-eagle-brook-family-room-redesign-pj-vj~2529966) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - Description: Previously dated brick with a pink wash finish and pink beige wall colors with older furniture. The mantel was too hight to place their TV comforatably. We created a gallery wall look that included the TV. Flanked the fireplace with a pair of media consoles in white, dropped a large pendant light, centered over the coffee table and between the conversational seating arrangement. The Brick fireplace was painted with masonry primer first and then Benjamin Moore paint. - [Geneva Eagle Brook Eat-In Sunroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/geneva-eagle-brook-eat-in-sunroom-pj-vj~2866516) - Location: Geneva, IL - Photos: 6 - [Chicago Vacant, unoccupied Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chicago-vacant-unoccupied-staging-pj-vj~2833112) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 12 - [Styling for living or selling](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/styling-for-living-or-selling-pj-vj~2224243) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Geneva Home Styling](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/geneva-home-styling-pj-vj~2115672) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 [See all 6 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-stagers/style-it-home-pfvwus-pf~1578458292) ## Ideabooks - [bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/88995417/list/bathrooms) — 4 ideas - [Kitchen, Wine Bar, Fireplace](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/111678532/list/kitchen-wine-bar-fireplace) — 1 idea - [Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/51773538/list/kitchens) — 25 ideas - [Wine Bars](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/111642314/list/wine-bars) — 5 ideas - [Fireplaces](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/111642451/list/fireplaces) — 3 ideas - [Interior Doors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/111642050/list/interior-doors) — 1 idea - [decor](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/82382403/list/decor) — 23 ideas - [Built In Cabinetry](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/101492804/list/built-in-cabinetry) — 2 ideas - [Foyer](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/53337879/list/foyer) — 3 ideas - [light fixtures](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/79617548/list/light-fixtures) — 6 ideas - [out door spaces](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/53979865/list/out-door-spaces) — 2 ideas - [csoltesz's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/43383018/list/csoltesz-s-ideas) — 7 ideas - [color/finishes](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/77786716/list/color-finishes) — 88 ideas - [New Build](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/77787990/list/new-build) — 5 ideas - [Laundry room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/53979831/list/laundry-room) — 2 ideas - [White on White](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/60041758/list/white-on-white) — 5 ideas - [cabinets](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/53979692/list/cabinets) — 1 idea [See all 17 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/csoltesz) ## Community Q&A **Q: what color paint goes with SW Aggreable grey?** *(in Paint)* We just bought a new house. We painted the walls of the living room which has tall ceilings with SW Aggreable grey on the walls and BM kindle charcoal above and sides of fire place openings. The living room is open to the kitchen which has cherry cabinets and Brazilian cherry floors. I need help with picking a color for my kitchen. Any suggestion? Here some pics: A: Afsaneh, Since we can't see the backsplash it's difficult to give suggestions. I would strongly suggest addressing the ceiling angles and lines as well. A bright white ceiling doesn't work with the fixed finishes in your kitchen, there are many ways to address your tray ceiling to help it look amazing. **Q: How do I go about getting this look for my fireplace?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This is a great question.To get this look, hire a painter who has experience painting masonry. The process usually includes a good cleaning and dusting, application of a good quality masonry primer and usually 2 coates of your finishing paint color in a flat finish. Here, we chose to use the same color as the client's trim and kitchen cabinetry. Let me know if you have further questions. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
