### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Robin Knudson, July 2019**

> Becky is great- so easy to work with, and she listens to your concerns.  She has a good 'eye' and makes hard decisions seem simple by offering suggestions that work.
> I would definitely recommend her!

**★★★★★ — Carrie Syvertsen, April 2017**

> I started working with Phinney Ridge Interiors the day before leaving to clear out my childhood home.  I sent Becky a lot of photos from the house of all the items we had to sort through.  Within 24 hours, she had cropped and sent me all the pieces she thought would be nice additions to my home.  I felt relieved, excited and not as overwhelmed with the task of sorting through the many pieces of furniture, art and knick knacks.  Since then, we've incorporated my beloved pieces from my childhood into my current home amidst all the beautiful updated style and touches with Becky's guidance.  Before I met Becky, I was paralyzed at my process to update my home because I couldn't make a decision or trust my design sense.  Becky came to meet with me and was so patient, personable, and came alongside my design ideas.  She helped me feel more confident in my style and had many great ideas about how to enhance or brighten my current layout or idea.  Together, we have completed my living room, dining room and my boys' bedroom.  Everyday I come home and feel refreshed at how warm, inviting, and stylish my home feels, It also reflects me, my personality and my style.  Becky has been my savior this year!  Going through such a transitional time in my life, I was always so excited to work with Becky on this project of making decisions about my home that would brighten my life.  I can't say enough wonderful things about her services and expertise.  She is professional, poised, encouraging, enthusiastic and so much fun to work with.   I will continue to use her as I chip away at the other rooms in my house!

**★★★★★ — kelwhgse, March 2017**

> Becky is amazing.
>
> I reached out to Becky for help selecting colors for the exterior of my home.
>
> She is professional and prompt, diligent and thorough.  She responds quickly to emails and is great at following up.
>
> Just before our consultation, a meeting popped up that I had to run to.  While Becky was mindful of the time limitation, she didn't rush and I didn't feel rushed -- that's quite the skill.  She has a terrific eye for color and was able to narrow down what would look best on the house in the time that we had.  While thinking over the paint colors, Becky also shared some really excellent thoughts on additional ways I could refresh the exterior look of my home.
>
> I have been stressed out about my house, but Becky's patience, kindness and great ideas have helped me move forward on making my home a better place to live.

**★★★★★ — Kelli Doss, March 2017**

> My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Becky from Phinney Ridge Interiors to select paint colors from our home..  She was professional, prompt and added a lot of value during her time with us.  In addition to selecting paint colors, she also offered quality advice on additional changes we could make to the interior our our house (from lighting changes to hardware updates to the removal of a wall) which were completely outside the scope of what we originally hired her for.  The day after we met she sent a summary email of everything we talked about.  We highly recommend Becky!

**★★★★★ — Holly Tanner, Sept. 2016**

> After feeling challenged by the layout and design of my workspace, Becky helped me transform both the function and the feel within a short period of time. She provided clear guidance that opened up the space, and even though I had the same amount of equipment to store and same needs for the use of the space, I now have more "flow" and the space appears much more organized. As a newer business, I appreciated that Phinney Ridge Interiors took stock of the pieces I already had, and found simple and cost-effective ways to upgrade the fabrics, furniture, or colors in the rooms. I was able to implement the changes on my own after taking notes and using the design guide that was sent to me immediately after we met. Now when I am at work, I admire not only how much better the place feels, but also the functionality within the purposes of the tasks I need to carry out. My clients have also noticed the changes and appreciate the small details like fresh flowers or beautiful images that because of placement, they can now see more readily. After seeing how much improvement I could make with such a reasonable investment, I have asked Becky to come to my home to help me create a functional, beautiful space. I highly recommend Phinney Ridge Interiors for any design project, large or small.

**★★★★★ — Tracy Chollak, March 2016**

> Becky consulted on our bathroom remodel yesterday.  She had lots of great suggestions for us to incorporate into our design.  Our bathroom will be more functional, and be more aesthetically pleasing as a result of her input.

**★★★★★ — Emily Ryan, Feb. 2016**

> Becky helped us create a beautiful, updated living room in our home.  She thoughtfully created design boards and assisted with paint color and fabric selection as well as connecting us to other professionals (painters and upholsterers).  We appreciated her flexibility, creativity, and professionalism.

**★★★★★ — mmksweeney, Jan. 2016**

> I hired Becky to help with my nursery, living room and entry way. She has a way of sizing up a space and knowing what would look best. Simply rotating the existing furniture and adding a handful of new pieces was all it took to whip each room into shape.
>
> She has such a sense of enthusiasm for design while making sure to incorporate function into each space. Her priority was to make the rooms as useful as possible while looking great and being comfortable. I love the look and my husband appreciates the functionality and comfort.
>
> I really enjoyed working with Becky and will definitely be a repeat customer!

**★★★★★ — autumnroth, Sept. 2015**

> Becky created design boards for our living room and den spaces, and we were so pleased with the results that we expanded our re-design into our dining room (and eventually kitchen!) as well.  She listened to our color and style preferences and recommended pieces that integrated both our style and fit the design of our home perfectly.  She worked within the budget that we had in mind and offered affordable options, but also let us know if there was a "splurge" option available that we might like.  Becky is friendly, responsive and very easy to work with.  The project is still in process but the results so far are amazing!

**★★★★★ — hakandathil, Aug. 2015**

> Spoile Interiors listened to my ideas, understood my style, and helped me develop a color scheme that would work well in our sitting room.  Becky is organized,detail-oriented  and has a great sense of style.  I highly recommend Spoile Interiors for designing interiors!

**★★★★★ — ckjed, Aug. 2015**

> We worked with Becca to come up with a design for our living room.  We were looking for a color scheme and furniture/storage ideas.  Becca is friendly, responsive and fun to work with.  She provided new ideas and incorporated our tastes into a design we are very happy with.  She also painted us a beautiful custom art piece that is the focal point over our mantel. I look forward to working with her again.

**★★★★★ — joelbjacobs, Aug. 2015**

> Becky is a talented designer with a keen eye for bringing a space together, as well as a great ear for listening to her clients' needs and presenting solutions that fit their goals. Becky was efficient, communicative, and incredibly helpful for us. We look forward to working with her again!

## Community Q&A

**Q: What is the color of paint on the wall?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I like how the soft neutral wall color sets off the blue chair & white wall trim. What is that paint color?

A: Thank you! The color is Olympic Mountains (971) by Benjamin Moore.

**Q: Material for butcher block?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Curious this is Walnut. Thanks!

A: Eastern Walnut (Supplier: Green Mountain)

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

Hello I love the glass pendants. Can you tell me who makes them?

A: These pendants were purchased locally, and unfortunately are no longer in stock. You might want to checkout the Glass Jug Pendant from Shades of Light. It's similar, but has a polished chrome finish instead of black.

**Q: I'd like help with this guest bedroom.** *(in Design Dilemma)*

The first picture is my source for color.  How should I update the furniture?  Should I paint the wood trim in the room?  Help in all areas of the design would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

A: I would use the blues and yellows from your pillow and artwork to define your color palette. I would consider putting the square painting over your bed to make it the focal point of the room. You could paint your trim & closet doors white, as well as your furniture (could pull colors from your painting). You can then accessorize with new bedding, lamps and window panels. Fun project!

**Q: We are painting and I hate it.** *(in Design Dilemma)*

We bought paint after trying a few...didn't get a sample of this one as my husband was rearing to go on a project and we'd already tried a bunch. 

And it's pistachio. Like the pudding. Only lighter. Like a hospital. 

Live with it?  Can I make this work?

A: Ikea has quality grommeted, medium weight cotton curtains. Each panel is only $10 and they come with iron-on hemming tape. Have you considered painting your trim white? Adding colorful artwork, throw pillows, and a rug will also warm up the space. Your paint color is just the backdrop!

**Q: Where is your gray hex tile from?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: I looked EVERYWHERE for this tile and couldn't find it...
