She has top-notch skills, a great sense of style, and added a lot to the management of our homebuilding project. > > Skills & Experience: Carrie has an eye for the appropriate style gauged to meet you where you are. Whether you want high fashion, budget basics, or somewhere in between, Carrie knew how to pull it all together to create a great look that turned out way better than we could have created by ourselves. She is knowledgeable about the construction process, and leverages her organizational skills to keep ahead of project needs, keep the schedule on track, and keep the Contractor focused. > > Personal Style: Carrie knew how to gently guide us through the process - always helpful without being pushy. And for those times we got stuck and couldn't make a decision, she knew when we needed a bit more pressure to get us moving and the outcome was always great. Carrie has many relationships with key suppliers, and works well with Owners, Contractors, Subcontractors, and Vendors to stay focused on results. > > Overall Value: We were initially skeptical in hiring an interior design consultant. But as her last name implies, Carrie delivered great value for us. With Carrie's help in making smart purchasing decisions and eliminating mistakes we might have made otherwise, we feel that throughout the project we saved more in costs than Carrie charged for her fee. Interior Expressions is a good investment! > > Working with Carrie Value at Interior Expressions turned out to be the highlight in our homebuilding project. Our new home is exactly what we hoped it would be, and Carrie is largely responsible for that. We cannot recommend Carrie Value highly enough! > > Bob & Megan Moore > McCall, ID **★★★★★ — kellyandmarie, July 2026** > We have worked with Carrie for over 15 years on various home design/decorating projects. She is a true professional with great ideas and resources. She consistently exhibits a practical approach that has given us options on both choices and costs. She is also an excellent communicator regarding the details, status and cost of projects. I highly recommend her. > Our most recent project was the design of an old Western Saloon. She helped us find and select everything from reclaimed wood floors to custom carpenters to craft an old school bar. We couldn't be happier with the finished product! She just flat out gets things done. **★★★★★ — Alison Rezai, July 2026** > Easy to work with! Always has a helpful opinion to guide the design process. Efficiently and effectively implements. **★★★★★ — GC Design, Dec. 2025** > Carrie is a professional at the highest level. Her attention to detail organization and construction knowledge put her in a rare category. I have worked with Carrie for years and I’m always excited for the opportunity to partner with her. **★★★★★ — Lish Poole, Dec. 2025** > Carrie is a dream to work with. She listens deeply, notices everything, and somehow makes the entire design process feel effortless. What truly sets her apart is how much she cares about what will best support her clients’ lifestyles. Her detail-oriented approach and perspective create magic every single time. I’m grateful to have worked with her on multiple projects and will recommend her always. **★★★★★ — High Mountain Custom Cabinets, Dec. 2025** > Carrie is a pleasure to work with! She does a wonderful job of communicating her client's wants and needs with our team to facilitate the best cabinetry design. Carrie is incredibly helpful with job progress and ensuring that we are notified of any pertinent job information, as it occurs. We have collaborated with Carrie on numerous projects of all different styles, and we couldn't recommend her enough! **★★★★★ — candismillar, Jan. 2025** > The first and most important item Carrie Value with Interior Expressions did for me was to set a realistic budget. This gave me the financial limits I needed to achieve my kitchen restoration vision. I had drawn up preliminary plans for the kitchen layout and selected appliances, but Carrie took my plans and suggested materials that fit my budget and completely in line with my concept. Her suggestions were so good, I choose them all. I'm particularly grateful to her finding the perfect tile for the backsplash. During a remodeling project it's easy to get 'decision-fatigue' so I was relieved to not have to decide from too many options. Carrie was easy to work with, a great communicator, very sensitive to my preferences, and as her name indicates - a true value. **★★★★★ — paulrowan, Dec. 2024** > We retained Carrie Value (Interior Expressions) after she was recommended by our builder. We were looking for a designer who could help shape and fulfill our vision for our custom family home at the Whitetail resort in McCall, Idaho. Carrie has an impressive track record, and we believed her approach aligned well with the mountain modern design (with some traditional elements) we had created with our architect. At the outset, Carrie asked thoughtful questions. This enabled her to thoroughly understand how we intended to use our home so her input could be tailored to our needs. She quickly grasped our vision while helping us further define and even expand our ideas. Because of her clear understanding of our design themes, we ultimately retained Carrie to also assist us in the daunting task of selecting many of the furnishings for our home. > > Perhaps unlike other designers, Carrie fully understands the detailed construction process and timeline, and particularly the unique requirements for building in a mountain environment like McCall. Importantly, her experience and familiarity with the building process enabled her to work seamlessly with our builder and the numerous subcontractors. Her organizational skills and project discipline helped keep us all organized. She always made herself available and did an exemplary job outlining the key deliverables and dates. Carrie was a key, even critical, member of the entire building team and instrumental in seeing our family dream home become a reality. > Paul and Becky Rowan **★★★★★ — kyork12, Dec. 2024** > Carrie was invaluable with the building of our home in McCall. Her knowledge and sense of style were just what we needed. I also loved working with her - she was fun and a great "people person". I would highly recommend her!! **★★★★★ — Teresa Hansen, Aug. 2024** > Carrie Value is one of the best in the business! She has a great eye for design and detail, is extremely easy to work with, and helped us stay on budget throughout our entire build process. Carrie stays up-to-date on the latest design trends yet can cater to any style and vision for your project. Her ability to source everything from lighting to plumbing to furniture is top notch, noting what might be worth a splurge or save along the way. Her professionalism is unparalleled and she is fun to work with, which matters when you spend so much time with someone during an entire build project. We give Carrie our highest recommendation! **★★★★★ — susannawilson, Aug. 2024** > Carrie was a great help and very professional on my remote and not so easy project! I found Carrie to be very organized, accommodating and resourceful. I loved our collaboration and it made my project so much more pleasurable. I would encourage anyone to use her on their project as she will help you realize your vision and keep the project going. She is a great local resource. **★★★★★ — Jennifer Seward, Sept. 2023** > If you hire Carrie for your project, you will not regret it! My husband and I have built many projects together as a married couple, but had never worked with a designer before building our lake house. My husband graduated from the University of Idaho architecture program and building our lake house was his work of heart for our family. Bringing Carrie in on the project proved to be one of the best decisions we could have made! Carrie is organized, resourceful, thorough, great at time management, creative and had so many fun ideas! Carrie has built connections and relationships with many sub-contractors (which in a small resort town is invaluable). > Building a vacation home while living elsewhere can be tough as you are not there to follow up on things, see which decisions need made next, update subs and efficiently schedule everyone and Carrie worked hand in hand with our builder and subs. Carrie made sure decisions were made on time and she ordered everything for us, stored it, delivered it, returned things if needed, etc. > I truly believe that without Carrie, our project would have taken twice as long and we wouldn’t have had the result that we have! Our builder, BC Builders, is so talented and we also can not say enough wonderful things about him. On top of Carrie being great at her job, she is fun to hang out with! Carrie will push you to make decisions and is not afraid to let you know if she doesn’t agree with your decision. But, that is why you hire a designer! If you show her a picture or have a crazy idea, Carrie will make it happen! > We cannot recommend Carrie enough for your project! ## Selected projects - [Sparrow](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sparrow-pj-vj~7453001) -
