At THID, we enjoy the community where we live and it shows through our work. We listen to our clients and help them to create a style that is right for them and the environment. We help to educate our clients about products available that will create the best end-result. While the majority of our projects are right here at home in the Sierras, we do have projects that span from the wine country of California to Oregon, Alabama, and Florida. We may be stationed here in Truckee, but we are always willing to travel. Working as a part of a team with the owner, builder and architect, we are responsible to budgets and timeliness. We also have extensive experience in the Martis Camp area of Truckee.

**★★★★★ — Adam Peot Art & Design, Feb. 2015**

> I am a painter/muralist working on jobs around California.  I had the pleasure of working in collaboration with THID on a commercial office renovation in October of 2014.
>
> They initiated an aesthetically pleasing, impactful and striking tree design. Although we only had general ideas to begin with, Terry and Kristen were very easy, open and enthusiastic about coming with with something unique. They were always available to communicate, share new ideas, check in on progress and keep me in contact with the business owners and managers. They made all payments on time and made it a professional pleasure to work with.
>
> I would encourage anyone interested in adding some fresh renovations, interior deign and art to contact THID.

**★★★★★ — miralivingston, Nov. 2014**

> Terry helped us with our kitchen remodel in Tahoe.  She had great ideas and put together a nice layout.  We weren't able to come up at all during the project and she kept it on track.  We would definitely recommend her.

**Comment from THID:**

> Thank you Mira for your review.  You home was very fun for me and I hope to work with you again in the future!

**★★★★★ — zamboni, Sept. 2014**

> I really enjoyed working with Terry and her team. As this was a second home remodel I was not always able to schedule meetings ahead of time. Terry was very accommodating, patient and helpful. She made the process of remodeling a home from afar much easier. Her solutions to issues that I couldn't solve are some of the best features of the finished product. I'm so pleased with the results!

**Comment from THID:**

> Thanks so much!  I look forward to seeing you and working with you in the future!!!

**★★★★★ — Gunter Construction, May 2014**

> I had the pleasure to work with Terry of Terry Hurt Interior Design on a recent $2 million luxury home.  Her taste is impeccable and she did an amazing job at pulling together the homeowner's vision. As the builder, I appreciated how she helped keep the project on time by expediting some of the hard decisions that can delay a project. The results of her work with the clients are breathtaking and sets the home apart as a quite impressive modern mountain luxury home.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Would a hardy board belly band work if installed on top of a brick wal** *(in Building a Home)*

A: Problem solved! On the small section on the front where it matters, they are going to soldier the brick! Thanks for all the help!

**Q: what is the paint color?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Thank you!

A: I apologize, that is from a project that I no longer maintain the records for. It is most likely a Benjamin Moore color.

**Q: What is the color of the concrete and stain?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Love your floor!  Can you tell me if the original concrete was the usual gray or if it was colored concrete?  Also, what are the colors used in the acid wash?  One more question, is the matte finish sealed?  Thank you!

A: Thanks for the question!  The floor was a custom stain and I believe it was matte.  Concrete stain is very temperamental and varies greatly on each floor so my recommendation is to test patches in places you can hide later.  I was going for a chocolate/rusty tones.  Good luck and let me know if I can help further.

**Q: Where can I find shelf brackets similar to the ones shown?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Restoring a 1904 building

A: Thank you!!!!  They are not difficult to make for a welder but sometimes welders are expensive...They would be pretty easy to re-create!  Good luck on your project.

**Q: What's the price of the billard table** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: It is a custom table made for this project.  Depending on the wood and details, they range from $15,000-$20,000.  Let me know if you need more information!

**Q: Wall finish?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I love the finish and paint color on this wall!  Can you tell me how it was done and what color and type of paint was used?  Thank you!

A: It was a special venetian plaster done by a local artisan. Please contact me if you would like further information.   Thanks for your inquiry!
