I have yet to finish the actual painting but I can say it was a huge relief to have her help...she was very knowledgeable about the colors and their undertones, etc. She also was able to help me pick colors that would make my tiles or wood floors appear "less pink" or "less yellow," which I appreciated very much! **★★★★★ — Barbara L, Jan. 2014** > I hired Taryn for a color consultation on my townhouse. The previous owners used ten unique, highly saturated colors throughout the house and it was stifling. My space is a converted manufacturing plant so there are some interesting architectural features that seemed exploited by all the loud color. I wanted a sophisticated color story that would enhance my home's features in a stunning but subtle way. After our initial phone call, I had a good sense about Taryn; she quickly understood the challenges of my project and thoroughly reviewed the reference materials I sent. When Taryn came to my home, she was prepared with exacting color samples -- I was very specific about what I wanted and she delivered spot-on choices. > > Taryn has a hands-on, pragmatic approach that I really like. From sitting on the floor sifting through paint chips to holding selections against the walls in practically every room of my house, her collaborative style makes her great to work with. She offers many practical tips as well--things I would never have thought of--like: as I was admiring a color chip on the floor, she pointed out that you would never see a color from that perspective and sure enough once we held it against the wall, it looked very different. She also followed-up promptly to some questions I had after her visit. > > Taryn is a talented designer with a great eye and I would definitely hire her again. **★★★★★ — Alicia, Dec. 2013** > Working with Taryn was a fantastic experience. From the moment I first spoke to her she was friendly, professional and cared about doing the job right. > > We hired Taryn to color consult a new home that we bought in Chicago. We first met at our current place which was great because she could visually see our style. We shared with her some paint, flooring and furniture samples which helped her visualize the new place without actually seeing it. A few days later, we met at our new home and she brought paint and wallpaper samples for us to see. She clearly listened very well to what we were looking for because we loved everything she picked out. I should point out that Taryn was extremely accommodating as well. We had painters coming the day after we closed on our home so we had an aggressive timeline that didn't allow much time for us to ponder the colors - we needed to move quickly - and this was no issue whatsoever. > > Then, the painters came and made her recommendations a reality. Taryn nailed it! The colors were gorgeous and even more beautiful than I would've imagined. She has such a great sense of style and our home looks amazing. > > I loved working with Taryn and would recommend her to anybody. She is great to work with and your place will look amazing when she's done! **Comment from Chicago ReDesign:** > Thank you so much Alicia! It was great working with you as well... I feel privileged to have been invited into your home and can't wait to see pictures! **★★★★★ — winnerkate, Sept. 2013** > I hired Taryn to help me pick out paint colors for a condo I recently purchased. She is awesome! After coming over, and looking at each room, Taryn understood perfectly how I wanted my place to look. She offered helpful advice about what colors would look best and took the time to evaluate all the options with me. Her prices are extremely reasonable and it was definitely worth getting her professional opinion. All of the colors we choose flatter each room and go together to create a cohesive space. I highly recommend Taryn. She rocks! **★★★★★ — kennedy3, Sept. 2013** > Taryn from Chicago Redesign is awesome! I live in a small dated studio apartment with two dogs. She choose gorgeous paint colors that transformed my place from choppy to cohesive. She is pleasant to work with and helped me stay on budget. She also organized the project which helped keep me on task. She worked hard to create cost effective, space saving, solutions that reflect my personal style. My home is now clutter free, stylish, tranquil but vibrant, functional, family and dog friendly. It's truly the sanctuary I crave after 10 hour work days. **★★★★★ — Blythe Kazmierczak, April 2013** > Taryn was a huge help. I had recently moved into a new home and had worked on many of the rooms but they just didn't seem finished. She walked through my house room by room and helped me figure out how to make small adjustments to finish each one off. She provided inexpensive ideas for ways to achieve some of the looks I wanted. I would highly recommend Taryn. She is a good listener and has great ideas. **★★★★★ — gailbk, March 2013** > Taryn of Chicago ReDesign listened and looked over my decorating issues. She presented me with a plan that would solve all the problems. We are working on the living, dining, bathroom and master bedroom. > > I was a person who couldn't commit to any one color but she helped me get grounded. She has an excellent eye for style and color that I'm sure she was born with but her education made her a master stylist. > > She is easy to work with and will stay within a budget. When my choice of wall paper went on sale, she let me know right away so I could save. > Taryn is patient and explains why some things work and why others would not. > I saw her recommendations for projects on Houzz and that's why I called her. My home is already more cohesive because of furniture placement to wall color due to Taryn's input. I'm doing lots myself to save money but bringing in upholsterers, a shade company and wall paper hanger for the pro touch. > Everything isn't done yet, so no photos at this point. I couldn't be happier with the results so far. Close your eyes and jump in! **★★★★★ — h\_gaus, Sept. 2012** > Taryn is such a pleasure to work with and you will not be disappointed! She is a very hardworking individual who knows her stuff. With her previous experience and "can do" attitude, she makes sure that the projects are on time, on budget and they turn out beautifully. I would highly recommend working with Chicago ReDesign! **★★★★★ — leonardokh, Sept. 2012** > Taryn at Chicago ReDesign got our house ready for sale. We didn't realize how cluttered, dark and dull our house was until Taryn turned into a beauty that we wished we had sooner. She recommended paint colors for every room that literally transformed the look of the house. She moved furniture around in every room until she found the perfect location for each piece. She brought a few key items into the house such as plants and pots to bring the outside in. She also painted artful designs on canvas for us which ended up being the center piece of the dining room. Our realtor was very impressed and thankful for the work Taryn did because our house sold to the first buyer in less than a week on the market. If we didn't have Taryn's help I know we wouldn't have sold so quick if at all. Thanks Taryn! **★★★★★ — divaladance, Sept. 2012** > Taryn has the eye for making things look beautiful but liveable. She came into my home a couple of times and worked on different rooms for me. All the rooms are very stylish but totally functional which is what you want when you have a toddler. She really listens to what you want and has great ideas as to how to get you to your final goal. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to have a beautiful space. ## Selected projects - [Home Staging, Chicago, IL](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-staging-chicago-il-pj-vj~572765) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Paint Color Consultation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/paint-color-consultation-pj-vj~503417) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 6 - Description: This downtown Chicago client wanted a dramatic entry and a palette of gray to coordinate with and highlight her existing furnishings. For the entry hall I selected the bold, but not overpowering, Kendall Charcoal, which opens up beautifully to the open Living Room/Kitchen space. Because this room doesn't get a large amount of light I selected BM Abalone, which is a soft gray with a warm purple undertone. And finally, to coordinate with the countertops and steel appliances in the Kitchen I select… - [Interior Redesign](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/interior-redesign-pj-vj~148753) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [Interior Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/interior-design-pj-vj~336496) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Home Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-staging-pj-vj~285748) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Home Staging - After](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-staging-after-pj-vj~148899) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Home Staging - Before](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-staging-before-pj-vj~131667) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 [See all 7 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/chicago-redesign-pfvwus-pf~2114165448) ## Ideabooks - [Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/6875099/list/ideas) — 26 ideas - [Exteriors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/29069392/list/exteriors) — 1 idea - [Closet Organization](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/6409163/list/closet-organization) — 2 ideas - [Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/4318775/list/bathrooms) — 13 ideas - [How to Create Warmth and Richness When Decorating With Grays](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/4666557/list/how-to-create-warmth-and-richness-when-decorating-with-grays) — 9 ideas - [Decorating with a Neutral Palette](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/5224333/list/decorating-with-a-neutral-palette) — 22 ideas - [Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/4306667/list/kitchens) — 17 ideas - [Blue](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/24091888/list/blue) — 14 ideas - [Entryways](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/5876192/list/entryways) — 12 ideas - [New Client - Bryant](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/22181918/list/new-client-bryant) — 4 ideas - [Living Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/21118268/list/living-rooms) — 3 ideas - [Storage](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/21594590/list/storage) — 3 ideas - [Kid's rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/21599054/list/kid-s-rooms) — 1 idea - [Dining Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/21093324/list/dining-rooms) — 5 ideas - [Nurseries](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/21594392/list/nurseries) — 1 idea - [Architecture](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/21291156/list/architecture) — 3 ideas - [New Client - Wilmette](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/7101765/list/new-client-wilmette) — 15 ideas - [Daybeds](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/16542002/list/daybeds) — 4 ideas - [New Client - JH](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/11771823/list/new-client-jh) — 22 ideas - [New Client - Nora](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/13504750/list/new-client-nora) — 4 ideas [See all 31 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/tnvrane) ## Community Q&A **Q: Need help with a color choice of black for kitchen island** *(in Design Dilemma)* All white kitchen but wanting a black island with black granite top A: Hi justinbriar, the black should coordinate with the undertones and subtle variations of the granite. Do you have a granite selected or purchased already? With that said BM Onyx is a pure black and should coordinate with just about any dark black granite. Hope that helps! **Q: Please Assist with Redecorating our Dining Room on a Budget.** *(in Design Dilemma)* Here we go again, Houzzers! You've helped us with our living room and our Christmas tree project, so now we're moving on to the dining room. We basically haven't touched this room since we first moved in. All finishes were existing when we moved in. Room Description: \- The dining room is centrally located in the home. It's basically open to several rooms \- It's about 158" long x 127.5" wide. \- One wall has a half circle cutout into the small entry \- there is a 36" wide opening into the kitchen \- there is a 70" wide opening into the living room Thoughts: \- We are on a tight budget for this specific project, so we only want to make a few budget-friendly changes. As a result, the traditional lighting fixture is probably going to stay (unless we find budget-friendly dining furniture) \- we definitely need a new table and chairs. \- the strange half-circle cutout in one wall must stay for now. \- The shutters will stay, although I am considering adding some budget-friendly draperies. \- Since we don't know how long we'll be in this house, we want to spend the majority of the $$$ on a flexible furnishings which can move with us. (table, chairs, rug, etc) \- The room is open to our living room, so we need the furnishings at least work with what we have in the living room. \- We would like to be able to sit at least 8 people, if possible. Things that can be changed: \- the table and chairs need to go for sure. \- we definitely want to either repaint the red wall or paper it. Those horrid wall sconces will be removed as well. \- artwork can definitely be removed Questions: 1\. Does anyone know of a quick, free website I can use to generate a proper floor plan to scale? 2\. Extension tables? Opinions? 3\. Round table or rectangular? I'll try to post pics and floor plan within the next few days, if possible. Thanks! A: Well, the great thing about Ikea is that if you don't love it you can return it! :) What about something like this - http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60229033/ **Q: Need help choosing gray/taupe color to paint kitchen cabinets..** *(in Design Dilemma)* I have a U shaped kitchen with Cabinets on one side only, need a neutral gray (I love charcoal tones, however, I'm told not to use it on cabinets) to paint my kitchen cabinets. Plan on using Revere pewter on walls, trim in White Dove...help!!! A: I love Chelsea Gray and think it would be really stunning to do on cabinets. My one question though is there an existing countertop and backsplash you need to match to? **Q: Need help choosing a paint with my cabinets, countertop and backsplash** *(in Design Dilemma)* I'm having a very hard time choosing a paint color for my kitchen. Cabinets are glazed cherry (pinkish hue), uba tuba granite and multi-colored backsplash. Pls help. A: If you want to tone down the pink in the cabinets you need to match the undertone, so a pinky-beige like BM Muslin (looks like linen on the walls), BM Shaker Beige, or BM Natural Cream would work well. If you like the cherry cabinets and want to highlight them, I would go with a blue-gray like BM Coventry Gray or BM Stonington Gray (which would also be very harmonious with the backsplash and Uba Tuba granite). Hope that helps! **Q: Help...** *(in Design Dilemma)* We started changing the livingroom, we painted the wall a sage color which goes well with the furniture. However, we got this area rug which we thought would be okay because t has sage in it. Now I feel like everything is completely thrown off. The worst part is my husband loves this rug & won't let me send it back. I would love some advise on how to make this work. Please help! A: I think the rug is really pretty, but the pattern is very bold, and for me it's the only thing that catches my eye. I think that what might be throwing things 'off' for you. To create a sense of balance I would suggest adding some accessories like wall art, throw pillows, lamp shades, etc. that repeat the golden tones in the rug and help draw your eye around the space (instead of only at the rug). **Q: Kitchen remodel** *(in Design Dilemma)* Need help with my kitchen. All honey oak. Need to change it. A: Hi! I would love to help with some suggestions. Could you post some pics of your kitchen? Are you looking to paint the cabinets, replace them, or keep them as-is and change things like paint and window treatments to compliment the cabs? --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
