### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Cory L, Jan. 2026**

> Marnie and Ashley were amazing to work with and brought our basic idea to life. The end product is beautiful and our space is even better than we imagined it would be. Their ideas and suggestions never let us down!

**★★★★★ — Ken Pomaranski, Dec. 2024**

> Excellent to work with! We re-did most of our dark, old interior lighting with fixtures bright and modern! Quite a difference. Their team helped us with the entire process: from interior design, fixture choice, and implementation.

**★★★★★ — kkensel, Dec. 2024**

> From the day we first walked into Marnie's studio in Chippewa Falls, we knew we had the person we could trust to make our new house a unique and beautiful home. She and Ashley have begun to feel like family, and are always so accommodating. In our initial meeting, I asked Marnie to "reign me in" when my ideas were out of line with what we had discussed as our target result, as I tend to spontaneously make design choices that result in non-cohesive results. I am thankful for Marnie's calm demeanor and ability to interpret my thoughts. The result is a home that is exactly what we wanted, with very unique and creative components that flow so well together that the house is a beautiful, calm, and interesting refuge. It's awesome to watch how they pulled floors, walls, finishes, cabinets, etc. inside and out all together to form the perfect package. Thank you, Marnie and Ashley!

**★★★★★ — cynthiah20, Dec. 2024**

> Marnie did a fantastic job with the design of our 1950s home. Her pricing was clear and more than fair for the quality of her work. Walking in to her store will be inspiring and get you started!

**★★★★★ — hazelthapar, Dec. 2022**

> Marnie is a genius! I had a very difficult house renovation and without Marnie’s guidance, patience and vision- it would have been impossible. She is artistically talented, calming in nature, and pleasant to work with as she helps to design and your dream space.

**★★★★★ — William Hannaford, Dec. 2022**

> My husband and I drove to Chippewa Falls looking for a specific furniture brand we had in our home.  The manufacturer had named House Blend as a regional dealer.  We were pleasantly surprised. Who would have thought that a cosmopolitan home store could be found in a little town.  We were impressed by the styles and quality of their collection of furniture, lighting, and accessories.  After speaking with owner/designer Marnie, who is creative, knowledgeable, and up on the latest, we hired her to visit our home to make recommendations on furniture.  The furniture we purchased through her has been perfect.  As a result, we recommended Marnie and her store to our daughter, who was building a new home.  In both cases, Marnie understood our tastes and needs, and didn't waste time trying to sell us something we weren't comfortable with.  We will continue to shop at House Blend and encourage anyone to check it out.

**★★★★★ — Jody Metz, Dec. 2022**

> Marnie was fantastic to work with.  She had great ideas, helped me choose absolutely beautiful lighting and took any stress away.  Our lighting is honestly one of my favorite things about our new home. Thanks Marnie!

**★★★★★ — Kara Watts, Dec. 2022**

> I have worked with Marnie since 2015 when our family moved to WI from the north shore of Chicago!  She is so incredibly gifted with her vision for styling homes and her ability to source materials/furniture/lighting etc.
> She takes the time to listen and understand what YOUR vision is for your project and then like magic, she has samples and photos that knock your socks off.  Most importantly, she is kind and patient and works endlessly to help others.
>
> To me, she is a secret weapon of priceless creative design advice... and accessible when you need her!
>
> OH! and her studio in downtown Chippewa Falls is GORGEOUS!  Don't miss HB on Bridge Street!
>
> She is the best designer in the area and a lovely human!

**★★★★★ — Chris Gross, Dec. 2022**

> HB Studio helped make our dream become a reality. Marnie listened to us and understood what we were envisioning for the look and feel. She brought forward the appropriate number of options for each area of the house.  When we were stuck with a decision, she would make suggestions or offer different ideas. She took the time to work with us, and we never felt rushed. I would highly recommend HB Studio for your lighting and design needs.

**★★★★★ — Signature Homes of the Chippewa Valley LLC., Dec. 2021**

> As a General Contractor I am always seeking to surround myself with strong team players who help me deliver the custom product I want to bring to Signature Homes Clients.
>  Marnie and the House Blend Studio elevate my custom homes in so many ways!
> Beginning with really getting to know my clients and their goals for their project, respecting budgets and timelines, offering superior product knowledge, sound lighting design planning, delivery and ongoing customer service, they earn time and again a 5 Star rating.
> Beautiful fixtures, interesting design services in a collaborative partnership with Signature Homes Creatives Happy clients!
> Win, Win.

**★★★★★ — roe\_tracy, Nov. 2021**

> I have absolutely LOVED working with these wonderful ladies! They really know how to make a house a home. I really wanted some unique pieces and they made it so fun and easy! It They are respectful of your budget and truly care about picking out things that you will like! I could not have asked for kinder people to work with - I will be back! The only thing I did wrong in my house build is not come to them sooner! I highly recommend these beautiful souls, they will not disappoint

**Comment from House Blend Lighting & Design:**

> Thank you so much Tracy!  You came in with great ideas and your organizational skills made helping you so seamless.  We love that you asked for help and took so many of the ideas and ran with them.  We can’t wait to see your new home when it is finished.

**★★★★★ — dhoads17, Feb. 2021**

> Marnie knows her business well and is very easy to work with.  She carries many different fixture lines and is well aware of new products and trends.  If you are looking to replace existing lighting fixtures or need fixtures for a new home or remodel, I would recommend you contact Marnie and see what she can do for you.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Hi! Do you have details on the overhead light ? Thanks** *(in Photo Questions)*

Thanks

A: Thanks for asking. The light is from Arteriors and is no longer available unfortunately.

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

Brand? Color? Real hardwood or engineered?

A: Hi Donna,  The flooring is stranded bamboo.  It is solid.

**Q: what is the size of this island** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: You could do 3 .  I would leave 12" on each end.

**Q: What kind of wood are the cabinets?** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the type of wood used ?

A: Hello,  The cabinets are hickory.

**Q: Where are the stools from** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The stools - and the dining chairs are from Sunpan.

**Q: Which glass mosaic would you choose with this porcelain tile?** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Ok. My wife and I settled on a porcelain tile to use in our shower stall. She really liked the marble look and I really liked the no maintenance factor. We chose a nice hexagon gray tile ad well. We are undecided on the glass mosaic. She likes the blue and I like the gray. She's worried the gray might look to dull, which I'm ok with. Which would you choose?

A: Gray.  Blue for towels !
