I have worked with Shelley on numerous occasions photographing her design projects. I am always extremely impressed by the quality level of materials, attention to detail and overall level of style and professionalism that she brings to her projects. Shelley is also a world class human being who is extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. Be it a small or large project, I highly recommend Shelley for your interior design projects.

Shelley and I collaborated together and developed a personal and unique design experience for a shared client. Shelley's professionalism is second to none and it was a pleasure working with her! Her ease and confidence provided a very positive client to peer experience!

From the moment Shelley walked into our home the ideas started flowing. She was able to pick up on the style we were trying to achieve but didn't know where to start. Shelley gave us ideas on changes that could be made with our existing furniture keeping with budget friendly remodel goals. We're finally getting our kitchen tile done, floors refinished, and then retiling our front entry way. Shelley's insight has created better flow in front entry way and made for a fun (Lockers for cubbies), colorful and open entry into our home.

Extremely stylish, practical yet creative designer with great flair and an eye for Mounrain Chic. Experienced in both Aspen and Front Range clientele and markets, with acclaim from both Commercial luxury hotels and custom homes. We would use Ms Sims at Thrive Design again without hesitation!!

Shelley brings such an enthusiastic energy to home design that you can't help but enjoy the process! She is creative, detailed, flexible and able to work within your budget. I hired Shelley twice for window treatments and they transformed my home. Her understanding of color and fabric and how they change a room is fantastic. She also learns your style and provides ideas and solutions customized to you and your home. Highly recommend!

Comment from Shelley Sims/Thrive Design:

Thank you for acknowledging my love for textiles and colors.
Every aspect of transforming a room is fascinating to me, but I especially love the tactile experience and touching and feeling of textiles. I love how fabric softens a room, or depending on the color can add the exact pop, of interest. It is such a pleasure to work with you. I look forward to our next creation.

Shelley Sims of Thrive Design has this uncanny ability to walk into someone’s home or business and intuitively know what design people will love. My wife and I hired Shelley to re-design our home and it went from a place we just lived in to a sanctuary we absolutely loved! Shelley is unbelievably talented. She loves helping people achieve the look and feel they are looking for even if they aren’t sure what that is yet. She is dedicated, persistent, fair, honest, and a wonderful human being. I highly recommend her for all your projects large and small!

Comment from Shelley Sims/Thrive Design:

When you speak of the uncanny " ability" it makes me also laugh because sometimes it can be considered a curse to be able to walk in a room and find all the details, that I would like to change. And then I catch myself and realize what a gift it is. It is a gift from the source of everything to be able to notice subtleties and nuances and how each of those aspects affects our moods, our lives, our emotions. It is fantastic!

Shelley was amazing! I recently moved into a townhouse in Boulder. Shelley helped me choose paint colors, designed my bathroom remodel, chose bedroom and dining room furniture, chose and hung new draperies and placed my artwork. Shelley has amazing energy and was an inspiration. She was very sensitive to my style and to my budget. And so much fun to work with. I recommend her wholeheartedly. Thank you Shelley for making my home a beautiful and comfortable place to live

Comment from Shelley Sims/Thrive Design:

Thank You Gretchen for having so much fun with me. I enjoyed all of your wonderful ideas too. The entire process of getting to know you has been a lovely addition to my world. I look forward to our next project together.

I consulted with Shelley on improvements to a vacation home. She asked questions about our goals for the project and our preferences for style and furnishings, and really listened to us. She set us up with a faux painter and consulted with us on colors and it all turned out beautifully. We get complements all the time! Shelley also gave us lots of ideas for furnishings and lighting. We haven't implemented those yet, but really appreciate the wealth of ideas and experience that Shelley brings to her work. I would definitely recommend Shelley for a design project where you want to have a say in it, but you also want someone to bring their ideas and experience as well.

Shelley is an amazing designer. She listens, has great ideas and is able to problem solve as the project evolves. We have an old house with two updated bathrooms that are modern, fresh and yet stay true and consistant to the integrity of our home.

Shelley has great vision and is enthusiastic to make sure she gets you what you like and want within your budget. She has a real eye for color and leverages investments you've already made. She chose all the colors for our house and I love it. She selected the tiles and colors for a partial bathroom redo and it came out wonderful. She also selected furniture and accessories for 3 rooms being sensitive to kid wear and all are timeless pieces and make our home look professionally done yet comfortable. Shelley is a real pleasure to work with as she as a great demeanor and always follows up on time. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for design work

Shelley's sense of style isn't overbearing, as in, she listens and responds to my tastes and objectives. She provided options that were all within my price range. She then marshalls all resources to do whatever it takes to get jobs done within our agreed timeframe. Extreme pleasure to work with and very effective communicator. I have hired her for more than one project. I highly recommend Shelley and Thrive Design.

I have worked with this designer several times in the past 10 years and have always been amazed at her incredible creativity and ability to understand what her clients have in mind. My projects have always involved challenging spaces and difficult schedules, but Shelley has always discovered fantastic solutions. Her positive energy is the key to her success! She is always willing to go the extra mile, while staying within the budget. Her integrity and honesty make it a pleasure to do business with her.
