### Featured Review

**★★★★★ — User, Jan. 2021**

> Tana was an absolute charm to work with in the remodeling of our family/entertainment room space. Her input and suggestions were spot on to what the space needed, and even more all the work was completed in a timely matter, and within our budget.
> I would definitely use Tana for our next home improvement project and would highly recommend her.

**★★★★★ — L Patton, Oct. 2018**

> Thank you Tana for helping me to comfortably wade into color possibilities and design.
>
> For years I put off painting and remodeling my home because I had such a difficult time choosing colors, trim, window coverings, and lighting. I called Tana for help. When Tana and I met she listened, asked questions, and quickly put together color suggestions for the interior that I truly love and fit me very well. After having such a positive experience I again asked Tana to help me with exterior paint color combinations. We also talked about ways to help with curb appeal. I love the new look and have received many compliments on the color. I highly recommend Tana. She has great listening skills and is able to quickly see what might work for you.

**★★★★★ — Hallie Blackwell, July 2017**

> We are so glad we hired Tana at Altstadt Interiors to help us design the remodel of our kitchen and bathrooms. She was easy to communicate with and very helpful. (It was our first time hiring a designer, so we didn't know much about the process.) Also, she created a creative, cost-saving design that works perfectly for our needs -- something we would have never thought of on our own.

**★★★★★ — Nancy Mitrano, June 2017**

> I have had the pleasure of working with Tana for a complete remodel of our business space!
> She was easy to work with, very reliable and was responsible. She is amazing..........I highly recommend her .

**★★★★★ — Steven Smutka, June 2017**

> Tana is a delight to work with.  I have utilized her design skills for several projects ranging from changing the entire paint color scheme in our large contemporary home;  to our last project, a  kitchen remodel when we downsized to a townhouse a few years ago.  I found Tana to be very knowledgeable and professional, with fresh and practical ideas that led to great results within our budget..  She is also fun to work with!  I would definitely use her again and recommend her highly for any project large or small.

**★★★★★ — phatzenbeler, Jan. 2016**

> I have worked with Tana from Altstadt Interiors for many years. She helped with a huge kitchen remodel as well as several other projects.  Her customer service is outstanding. She listens extremely well and is very conscientious to details. She is very flexible on the role she played with the homeowner, allowing us to be as involved as we wanted to be on certain projects and taking the lead for us on other projects.  I absolutely love working with Tana & I can't wait to work on more projects with her in the future.

**★★★★★ — krisweber10, Jan. 2016**

> I called Alstadt to help me pick out new paint and get some new furniture to go with the old!  We needed to replace stuff, but didn't want to start from scratch.  Tana was so easy to work with and got us going immediately.  She helped us get some new pieces without breaking the bank and some fun antiques that we painted and reupholstered.  She has a good eye for picking fun and funky pieces and seeing them in a new light.
> What I love about Tana is she is enthusiastic and honest!   We love our "updated" rooms and our new paint colors have completely changed the look of our home.

**★★★★★ — lkahan31, Jan. 2016**

> I have worked with Tana, owner of Altstadt Interiors, for over 15 years on both small projects (e.g., garage reorganization) and large projects (e.g., kitchen and bathroom remodels, house addition).  I've had only A+ experiences.  She is organized, respectful of budgets, timely, and supremely talented.  She's able to bring different visions into a cohesive whole and so much more.  Appreciating both her design aesthetic and pieces from her shop, a number of friends have also utilized Tana's skills and we all love to shop at Alstadt Interiors as well.

## Community Q&A

**Q: What is the flooring?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: It's porcelain basket weave tile from S'Tile.

**Q: Beautiful! Metal back splash behind the stove** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where can I find the metal back splash? Also, is it magnetic?

A: Hi, we used a local sheet metal company to do that section of backsplash. It is glued to the wall and I'm not sure if it's magnetic or not, good question.
