We’re submitting a rave review for Kriste Michelini Interior Design. We just completed an extensive remodel project, where Kriste and her staff were engaged from the beginning, to design and project lead the execution. Kriste made our wishes come true with a fresh, clean, modern design plan that refreshed our family home to suit our current lifestyle as empty nesters ready to socialize, travel, and enjoy more time at home than ever before. Kriste always showed up with an electric smile, solution to every request, and true design beauty that suits our Spanish style home. Our home is now transformed as a bright, elegant, and open space! She chose unique wall paper, cabinetry colors, light fixtures, tile, and flooring that delivers the “wow” factor we asked for! We can’t wait to invite family and friends over to dine and enjoy our new space with us. Thank you Kriste, Julez, Jackie, and Ramona!!!

Kriste and her team are creative, fun and have amazing attention to detail. They transformed an empty house into a beautifully furnished home. Didn’t bother them at all that the project was in Idaho. They truly care about delivering a great experience and product and upon completion, were as excited as we were for the big reveal. We highly recommend Kriste Michelini Interiors and will be sure to work with them again the next chance we have.

I give my highest recommendation for Kriste's firm. Kriste has assembled a very competent staff, that is very friendly , efficient and timely. As a builder I rely on the accuracy of drawings and product specifications. They produce both to my satisfation. When the occasional unfooreseen problems arise Kriste and staff step up and help solve them as quickly and painlessly as possible. I am pleased to give my recommendation.

Kriste has been such a pleasure to work with on our home remodel. She understood our style and what we were trying to do immediately, which made it really easy to work together. She has great ideas on how to add touches to make our home unique and also is sensitive to working within our budget. We've really enjoyed working with her and are looking forward to working with her again in the future.

We at Jack Trux have worked with Kriste Michelini extensively and each time is a overwhelmingly positive experience. Ms. Michelini is always professional, knowledgeable, and communicative in every aspect of her work. We love working with Ms. Michelini and look forward to doing so again. We recommend that others do the same as I am confident that their experience will be just as positive as ours.

Catie Nichols Design

I've been working with Kriste and her team for almost 2 years, and always enjoy seeing their projects come to life. Her design is clean and sophisticated, without sacrificing comfort. Her programming process with the client is very thorough. It's fun to watch how versatile her projects can be, and how awesome each design turns out. Aside from being super easy to work with, Kriste is also one of the most organized and detail oriented designers I work with. Strong attention to detail in every job is standard for them, and it shows. I always enjoy meeting with her team as well. They're incredibly friendly, responsive and also easy to work with. All in all, Kriste and her team are truly a pleasure to work with.
