**★★★★★ — April Hickel, Feb. 2016**

> Anita understood what we were looking for and helped us design and color our kitchen & living room - this include granite, a tile back splash, carpet and paint. She was conscious of our busy 3 kids, 2 working parent lifestyle and helped us create a style that suited us without replacing our kitchen cabinets.

**★★★★★ — Fantasia Showrooms, Feb. 2014**

> Our whole team loves working with Krista. She is professional, creative and (here’s what we love), fun! Krista and her staff are always so well organized, that it makes our job easy. You are in very good hands with Indicia Interior Design.

**★★★★★ — Echelon Builders, Inc., July 2013**

> Krista was an absolute pleasure to work beside. We were hired separately to complete a couples' 1940s attic transformation from a storage area to a 2-Bedroom, Full Bath and Study. We handled the general contracting and construction while Krista laid the plans for the interior design. We quickly found that Krista has a keen eye for appropriate design, extensive product knowledge and efficient and timely management and communication skills. Truly, we can not wait to work along with her and the team at Indicia again.
>
> Thanks Krista
> Mike: Echelon Builders

**★★★★★ — Southview Design, Dec. 2012**

> We have worked side by side with Krista of Indicia Interior Design and would highly recommend her work.  She is a talented designer with a great eye for detail.

**★★★★★ — megk, June 2012**

> 3 separate projects:  1) Whole house decorating; 2) Bathroom addition; 3) Bedroom update.
>
> Using the firm 3 separate times should be a good indication of my high regard for their work and professionalism.  The end result is excellent and we have been very happy.  I also so appreciate the professionalism in all of my dealings with different designers during any project.  Timeliness is right on and total transparency in all costs.

**★★★★★ — jrolson1, Jan. 2012**

> Highly recommend her. She has designed 2 condos for me. Talented, with a great eye. Listens. You can count on her without fail. Always delivers. And she has an unbelievable field of sources for everything from products to expert craftsmen. If I wanted an elephant's foot stool covered with a zebra hide cushion, she could find it almost instantly. If I wanted someone to replate my fireplace in zinc, she would know who does that sort of thing. And, she's pleasure to work with.

**★★★★★ — masonabode, Dec. 2011**

> Indicia has saved our life.  Renovating a house built in 1912 has been a long and challenging journey. Having three children and a very busy lifestyle makes for its own kind of craziness. Renovating on top of every day functioning can make one crazy.  When Krista/Indicia took over the project the stress and headaches seemed to melt away.  She is professional, timely, very detail oriented and listens like no other design professional we have worked with. We continue to develop and tweek our house project and Krista has been there ever step of the way. She has become not only a great friend but a part of our family.  Indicia is our saving grace.

**★★★★★ — boonied, Dec. 2011**

> We bought a 1950's rambler in St Paul in need of better flow and function as well as in need of cosmetic enhancement (particularly for the bright blue kitchen carpet.) Thanks to Krista's design talent and to the services of Indicia, we got a wonderful makeover. From advice to the contractors on the structural changes of an addition, to paint colors and accessories, our house has been transformed into a charming home - perfectly suited to our needs. Krista managed our budget very wisely and guided us through the design and decision process so seamlessly that our project was completed on time.
>
> Krista's ideas for functional design, as well as for the details of colors and finishes, have given our home a style that is so "us." Visitors often remark on the wonderful colors. She is especially talented at mixing the old with the new. We really appreciate Krista's ability to incorporate furniture we already had and some of our favorite accessories. Thanks to Krista's great taste, the once tired looking classic features of our home have been given a fresh inviting feel.
>
> Our work with Indicia was our first adventure working with a designer. Our experience was so successful we continue working with Krista nearly three years after our first project.

**★★★★★ — Susan Estes, Dec. 2011**

> Krista took our blah, white cabinet kitchen and made it a kitchen where we enjoy to cook.  She listened to our needs and replicated them in to our dream kitchen.  When the costs came in over our budget, she worked with us to reduce the costs and still ended up with an excellent project.  We never would have found the products and materials she found for us.
>
> Krista was a pleasure to work with.  She has a great personality, great ideas and we would highly recommend her.

**★★★★★ — lauramccarten, Dec. 2011**

> Krista is great to work with! She was the first interior designer I've worked with. She listened, gave me great ideas and options, was completely flexible as to my preference to manage certain tasks myself and rely on her for most others.  She took the time to understand my preferences and to provide me compatible choices. At the same time, she provided options and gave me ideas that I would never have thought of on my own.  Very professional, easy to work with, accomodating on schedule and great on followup and managing details.

**★★★★★ — milnee, Dec. 2011**

> Krista designed our kitchen/living room remodel.  She did an excellent job focusing on changes that would maximize impact yet minimize costs.  She transfromed our space from a dated, closed-in, blah two rooms into an open and spacious kitchen/living room.  The space is updated and elegant, yet family friendly.  We love what she did to help transform our house into the home of our dreams.  We would not have been able to see the vision for what it could be without her expertise.  I would highly recommend Krista for any design project in your home and would definitely use her services again on future projects.

**★★★★★ — lisahannum, Dec. 2011**

> We met Krista through our builder when we were remodeling our kitchen and bath. Krista effectively acted as one part architect, one part interior designer and one part quality assurance throughout our entire remodel. The result is lovely, functional and comfortable living space for our family. Now, she's stuck with us (!) as we make our way through nearly every other living space in our house. She has a great eye for color, texture and aesthetics -- balanced with practicalities (like three kids and two dogs) and our budget. She sees things in a way we simply can't -- and the result is beautiful. Did I mention she's detail-oriented, thorough in her follow up with vendors and a stickler on the budget and billing? We highly recommend Krista.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Love the pendant lights** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can u tell me where to buy them? Thanks!

A: I can they are really lovely little pendant lights from Visual Comfort.

**Q: What brand is the range hood?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Range hood brand

A: Thank you for reaching out with your question. The range hood we used on this project is from Ventahood. Indicia is a full service interior design firm specializing in residential design. If you have a project that would benefit from our professional services please give us a call at 651-204-6481.

**Q: Backsplash** *(in Photo Questions)*

Would you share the specifics of the backsplash material please?   Like the texture and simple elegance

A: It is a clear glass back painted white; the tiles are about 1"x2" and mesh mounted on a 12"x12" sheet. You can customize the arrangement of the tiles; I did the tile stacked for a more modern look. Villi Mosaics is the manufacturer and in the Twin Cities carried by Tile x Design. I hope you like the tile as much as my clients do!

**Q: Is this mirror available to purchase** *(in Photo Questions)*

I'd like it to be the same as in this photo

A: Thank you for your inquiry. Yes this mirror is still current from our vendor and it is beautiful in person. The mirror measures 27" x 48” overall and is in an Antique gold leaf finish. With plain mirror the pricing is $1,975.00 plus freight charges (estimated at 12-15%, dependent on the ship to address within the continental US). If you like the look of the “OLD MERCURY” mirror of the one in the photo I can gather pricing on this upgrade and get back to you. The "Old Mercury" mirrored surface is a little spoiled
and pitted more heavily around the edges than in the center – a
light subtle effect. Lead time is estimated at 8-10 weeks, payment is due prior to shipping, and all purchases are non-refundable and final sales. If you would like more information or to place an order please call me at 651-204-6481 or email me directly at Krista@indiciallc.com. Thank you again for your interest.

**Q: Location of pulls** *(in Photo Questions)*

What do you recommend for placement of cabinet pulls like the ones in your design?

A: Thank you for your question. For this project we placed the hardware on the top drawer at it's center point. Then for the lower drawers we used this dimension for the distance down from the top of the drawer face. Working on a project that would benefit from the expertise of an interior designer? Indicia is a full service interior design firm specializing in residential design projects of all sizes, to learn more about working together give us a call at 651-204-6481.

**Q: What are the size of the upper cabinets? Who made them?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Thank you for your inquiry about our custom designed cabinetry for our clients' kitchen. I designed the space as well as the cabinetry for the kitchen; the cabinet sizes are not standard box sizes, they are proportioned to fit each wall space and to accommodate our clients appliance selections. The walnut cabinetry was crafted by Nest Woodworking from my designs. The metal and glass door fronts we selected are customizable thru Elements. Please let us know if we can assist you with the project you have in the works. We are a full service interior design firm able to facilitate all types and sizes of residential projects and we'd be happy to talk with you about yours. Thank you, Krista Schwartz
