She previously helped me to create a workout/storage space in my condo which is perfect. The most recent project was a refresh of my first floor including paint, countertops, backsplash, wallpaper, window treatments, floor covering, etc. Colleen and Danelle collaborated to create "new" bright and beautiful spaces with a wonderful color palette. I appreciate Colleen's and Danelle's professionalism, creativity, knowledge, and energy. **★★★★★ — User, Sept. 2017** > A full kitchen remodel was a daunting prospect for us. Colleen provided excellent guidance to keep the project on time matched with the perfect counsel help us through the sometimes difficult (for us!) design decisions. Start to finish, our circa 1946 kitchen morphed into a modern room of functionality in about three months. **★★★★★ — SUSIE, March 2016** > Colleen Thompson, owner of ie Design has wonderful creative vision! She planned and completed a kitchen remodel for us which exceeded our expectations. She was able to visualize taking down walls and opening up areas we didn't even think we could access. I was able to show her one photo of a kitchen I liked and from there she was able to pick up on everything that would appeal to my taste and create a kitchen that not only do I love, but everyone else loves! > Everything was completed by the set deadlines, even with the carpenter experiencing an unforeseen medical emergency! All of the companies she used to complete our project did excellent work and everyone was professional. > I am proud to say our kitchen is displayed on her website and have referred others to her, who have loved the kitchens she created for them as well. I highly recommend Colleen and ie Design. ## Selected projects - [Milwaukee Master Bathroom Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/milwaukee-master-bathroom-condo-pj-vj~3150497) - Location: Milwaukee, WI - Photos: 7 - Description: The pictures don't do this update justice.

The plan was for the room to have open, bright, light style which translated to no wall cabinets. There is a outside perimeter of sink, range, and deep storage drawers.
