**★★★★★ — Jenna Renfrew, July 2022**

> Stacia Winkler is a master of building a great relationship with her client in order to interpret their lifestyle, their dreams and their esthetic preferences into a beautiful home experience. She is a great researcher of new ideas and experiences, and executes them with consistent responsibility to both the project budget and the client’s needs. I loved both of the projects I worked on with her and my only regret is not having another home to do with her!

**★★★★★ — HU-999830477, July 2022**

> Stacia is absolutely the best in the business and I would HIGHLY recommend her for anyone that is looking to turn there home into a space that illustrates and represents their style and personality.
>
> Stacia is amazing on so many levels. There are few key things that I continue to be so impressed with:
>
> 1\. She is so good at understanding your style and bringing that to life. I have seen other houses of friend’s that she has worked on and they are all so different and beautifully celebrate the individual style of each person. This takes a really talented designer to listen, understand and then have the skill to build a design concept around that.
>
> 2\. She has an amazing eye and vision for what can be.
>
> 3\. She is a great partner, approachable and a great communicator so all are on the same page.
>
> 4\. Always very professional and all of the associates she works with have always done a great job and in a really timely manner.
>
> Overall she is a lovely person to work with and be around and most important she will leave you with a space that you are absolutely in love with and others are in awe of.
>
> We have absolutely loved the work that Stacia has done for us and highly recommend her. 10 Stars!

**★★★★★ — Laura Huene, March 2018**

> Stacia is a dream to work with!  Her ability to transform a space into a sanctuary is like none other.  We hired Stacia to remodel our kitchen, family room, living room and master suite.  Each piece matches our personalities and our home is so very cozy, thanks to Stacia.  Our next project was to redesign our mountain house and once again her work was perfect!  The rooms are cozy and inviting.  Thank you Stacia for your care and attention to all of the details.

**★★★★★ — Ann Collier, March 2017**

> Stacia is an amazingly talented professional who combines creativity and a keen design eye with a strong knowledge of construction and project management skills. She is attuned to the interests and tastes of her clients, and works hard to ensure that the designs she creates reflect their own authentic styles. I have worked with her on two remodel projects, and every day I benefit from her talents as I enjoy the beauty, comfort, and efficient use of space in my home.

**★★★★★ — David Connelly, March 2017**

> We had nothing but the best experience when we worked with Stacia on designing the interior and in some cases the exterior of our home.   It was a large project but Stacia handled it with ease.  She was accommodating with her time and expertise.  We would not want to work with anyone else in terms of design and execution of items that need to be done.   We are particular in what we want and Stacia has a perfect way of letting you know if the style fits.  Do not look any further.  Exceptional in every way.

**★★★★★ — gregg boone, March 2017**

> I'm a builder and been using Stacia's services for at least ten years. She works well with very little direction and our homes always turn out fabulous. Best of all customers love them. She's very professional and easy to work with.
> Three ago she designed my personal home, inside and out. Every day, I drive up to it, walk inside and think how much I love it.

**★★★★★ — Amy Fain, May 2016**

> Vintage Elements owner Stacia Winkler is nothing less than amazing.  Not only does she have incredible style, but Stacia is able to truly understand your style and what you might like.  Stacia is able to look at a room as a whole and work with colors, textures and scale to make each detail work perfectly together.  In addition, Stacia has complete understand of the build process and was able to work with us through every step of construction incorporating our personal taste along with a mindful eye towards budget.  Stacia communicates well with all the trades to get the exact look with amazing detail and still staying within budget and on a reasonable timeline.  Stacia's skills and abilities not only made it an enjoyable process but we also won a national award because of her involvement.  I would HIGHLY recommend Stacia and Vintage Elements for your next project.

**★★★★★ — sarahhwade, Nov. 2015**

> My husband and I used Stacia with Vintage Elements to build our home in Denver  and then hired her again to help us with a renovation project for an investment property.  We absolutely fell in love with her and her expertise, guidance and gracious demeanor.  At every step in the process, from design to bidding to construction and completion, Stacia was available, knowledgeable and had quite the knack for blending my husband and my styles!  Stacia has an extensive design background which allows her to help you achieve any look you want within your price point.  I cannot recommend Vintage Elements enough.

**★★★★★ — kirk7973, Oct. 2015**

> Stacia Winkler was so helpful I couldn't have done all my decorating without her help. I love my house because of Stacia. I would recommend her, and have to others. She has great taste! I enjoyed working with her very much. She listened to me about what I wanted. She was great.

**★★★★★ — Cristine Arnold, July 2015**

> Stacia is very hands-on and oh-so-talented. She is a pure joy to work with and has amazing style and class. I love how she incorporates existing elements with new pieces...she ALWAYS creates a beautiful space!
