Ausland Interiors

I did a two-hour in-home consultation with Ashley for a remodel and second story addition of our home. Prior to reaching out to Ashley, we'd submitted our plans to the city for permitting and had decided to hit pause before resubmitting for corrections. A few things about our design just weren't sitting quite right, but neither I nor my husband had the expertise or language to pinpoint the exact issues so we wanted some help. I went into the consult with a ton of slides and questions prepped, thinking we were at 95% and would drive the last 5% home with Ashley's help. I had super nitty-gritty questions about things like how many pendant lights to put over the island or whether or not to remove a wall between two spaces. We didn't end up getting to all of those kinds of questions because in truth, we weren't ready to talk about the last 5% yet. I'd say that we went back to 75% in the consultation, with Ashley identifying some major opportunities to improve our plans – things like flipping the kitchen and dining space for a design that better optimizes natural light, reorienting a bathroom in order to move the laundry room to a space that would work better for our family, etc. It takes serious skill and confidence to be able to zoom out to the forest level and make the kinds of suggestions Ashley did. I was incredibly impressed with how quickly she spotted the problems and offered solutions. She had no context coming in but was immediately able to provide value. She also frequently asked "why," digging into the choices we'd made before making suggestions, then leading with a balance of functionality and creative design moments in her recommendations. I have a new set of last-5% questions from our consult and more work ahead than I anticipated going in, but I feel a lot more equipped to handle them now that the foundational design is stronger, and this is intended to be our forever home – now is absolutely the time to get these things right before we get further down the road! I wholly recommend working with Ashley if you're considering a consult. And I do think that if you're reviewing plans like we were and have the option, having Ashley actually come out in person is of major value – seeing how the light comes in, what our neighbors' homes are like, etc. were all essential in the recommendations Ashley provided. Many thanks again!

Thank you Ashley for your guidance. I felt comfortable talking with you and was excited after our hour together that I could do this. You reinforced my confidence and validated my ideas. I’m thankful for your wisdom and experience when I needed advice on sizes of drawers and flow of tile ideas. I’ve made changes that you suggested with my cabinets cause you are always spot on. I will definitely do another Hour with you when it’s time to do my counters and tile. You rock and I highly recommend you.

I had such a positive experience with Ausland Interiors. I truly felt like she built me up and made me feel like my home was going in the right direction while still offering some amazing tips that I incorporated. I finished the meeting feeling confident and on a high. So grateful for such wonderful energy.

Ashley’s insanely talented designs are just the tip of the iceberg! I booked a two hour consult with Ashley and walked away with a totally unique, function-centric, POV that changed the way I looked at my house and remodel! I immediately made the changes and it was addition by subtraction for my space. She has a bright personality and energy, is direct and honest and those are things I value highest in working with someone in any remodeling capacity. The value in her two hour consults can’t be stated highly enough! I hope to remodel my entire kitchen with her in the near future.

We used Ashley for a consultation on a small remodel we are doing. We had such a great experience. She made us feel confident in some of our decisions, but also offered other views on the way we could do things. I will absolutely use her again when we finish the rest of our house.

Last week we scheduled a consultation with Ashley for our new house build. We were impressed with how much we were about to achieve in just one hour! Ashley was very detailed and helped us make the right decisions for a great kitchen and pantry layout. Thank you Ashley!

We moved into a new house and needed to create a dining nook that was both stylish and kid friendly! Ashely made it happen. She helped us design a built in banquette, find a table and chandelier and the perfect pillows. The best part is the cushion is laminated meaning it's child (and adult!) proof but doesn't even look like it. Never would have known to do that! It's the focal point of our kitchen and family room and the subject of many compliments! We've enjoyed many cozy family meals there. Thanks Ashley!!

We have done a few projects with Ausland Interiors (2 kitchens, baths and whole house) and could not be happier with the results. Ashley is super patient, has great ideas and will stretch your thinking in coming up with an excellent outcome. I will use Ausland Interiors in the future and highly recommend their professional and personalized service.

I love, love, loved working with Ashley. She was able to take a few vague pictures and ideas and turn it into a reality exceeding all my expectations. She has incredible vision, taste and ideas and was able to work around my budget. Could not recommend her more highly!!!
