She helped me pick out new colors for my cafe as well as items for the walls. She was INCREDIBLY affordable, fast, and easy to work with. I am SO HAPPY with how my cafe turned out and I cannot thank her enough for her help! I will be recommending her to friends and family. **★★★★★ — Kate Fuller, Jan. 2016** > When decorating our new home, Allyson made understanding our tastes look easy even when we didn't fully understand them ourselves. She made our new house feel like a warm and welcoming home that completely embraces our lifestyle. **★★★★★ — T Forrister, July 2013** > Allyson is a creative professional who cares about the desires and needs of her clients. It is easy to brainstorm design ideas and she is open to client input. When things need to change, she calmly walks the client (who is usually the one freaking out) through everything. Highly recommended!! ## Selected projects - [Retro-Mod Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/retro-mod-kitchen-pj-vj~577599) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Jewel Toned Living Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jewel-toned-living-room-pj-vj~234487) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 [See all 2 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/allyson-forrister-counterpane-interiors-pfvwus-pf~252156132) ## Ideabooks - [Stained Wood Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/42290950/list/stained-wood-kitchen) — 29 ideas - [Black Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/33748566/list/black-kitchen) — 29 ideas - [Metal Madness](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/31544607/list/metal-madness) — 11 ideas - [Modern French Bath](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/28575523/list/modern-french-bath) — 10 ideas - [Pipes!](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/23017593/list/pipes) — 19 ideas - [Kennedy Compound](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/20411081/list/kennedy-compound) — 27 ideas - [Family Pets](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/19968179/list/family-pets) — 43 ideas - [Steel Appeal](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/19547864/list/steel-appeal) — 20 ideas - [What's Hiding Under the Stairs?](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/18015945/list/what-s-hiding-under-the-stairs) — 24 ideas - [Gold Accents](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/17850432/list/gold-accents) — 12 ideas - [We Love Stairs!](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/17677171/list/we-love-stairs) — 22 ideas - [Metallic Walls](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/17543536/list/metallic-walls) — 7 ideas - [Wallpaper](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/17142759/list/wallpaper) — 24 ideas - [Functional Kitchen Details](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/14718048/list/functional-kitchen-details) — 16 ideas - [For the Kids](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/14671479/list/for-the-kids) — 46 ideas - [Attics](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/14665602/list/attics) — 62 ideas - [Beautiful Exteriors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/14663368/list/beautiful-exteriors) — 15 ideas - [Outdoor Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/13594036/list/outdoor-rooms) — 22 ideas - [Green](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/11612982/list/green) — 41 ideas - [Orange](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/11465020/list/orange) — 29 ideas [See all 36 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/counterpane-id) ## Community Q&A **Q: To Paint or Not To Paint** *(in Design Dilemma)* Old Farmhouse, LOW ceilings and full wood wall that has doors to closet space? We are thinking of painting the wood white to try and open up the room but any other suggestions? A: I think it would be nice with a fresh finish on it but if you must color it, sand it and then wash it with transparent color so that the grain and knots show through. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
