About Us

Valiant Design is a locally owned and operated by Stephenie Trulson. As the Owner/Designer she plays a vital role in all Commercial and Residential projects contracted to Valiant Design. When asking Stephenie how she works with her clients, she relayed this story... 'Just this week, I had casually mentioned to a client that I am 'anal' over the details. He laughed. Not just a small chuckle, rather a belly laugh that seemed to last forever. So, naturally, I asked why he was laughing so hard. His response, "Yes, I would say you are a little 'anal' about the details. I like that in some people, and you are one of them." (*See Pine Hollow Custom Design pics for the stunning results of his project.) You need some back story now, huh? See, this was a gentleman that was building his own home and hired me as a designer. We had just gone over the house plans that he had drawn up with another firm. During this process, I 'walk' through the plan in my mind. I am looking for flow issues, I am looking for corners where the trim may be cut short, I am looking for natural tile/carpet lines. I am looking for whether or not your nightstands will fit next to the bed. I am looking at what you will see when you walk into a room...is it functional? Is it balanced? Is it attractive? When hiring a design professional, you want to pay close attention to their resume, for sure, but don't ignore whether or not you can communicate well with them and feel at ease. You want a professional that will care about the details of the end result as much as you will. These factors are critical to the success of your project. And these factors are why you should have her contact info... Stephenie Trulson Valiant Design Owner/ Designer Kennewick, WA 99336

We asked Stephanie to help us with our home designing and structural needs and we are so glad we did! We have seen her work as a contractor and felt very confident that her direction would help us. We are happy that she could help us and look forward to asking for her help in the future!

We hired Stephenie/Valiant Designs to assist us with the floor plan / exterior design of our custom home. She did an excellent job! She has a very artistic eye and was able to fix some of the areas of the floor plan that we could not seem to figure out. We highly recommend Stephenie's design services to others!

Having worked with Valiant Design on numerous projects, I can tell you she is amazing! Her work is exemplary, and her personality is second only to her charm. As a professional in the construction industry, we have worked with numerous designers over the years. Valiant Design is definitely top of the list for us.

Stephenie Monson at Valiant Design knows her stuff! We hired her for concepts and process help in a commercial building- interior and exterior. She is a general contractor, as well as a designer, so her experience and expertise at every stage of the process was invaluable. She was great to work with. We used her services at varying levels- full service to consultation- but she made herself available to us as we needed her throughout our project. We appreciated that flexibility.

Stephenie at Valiant Design was fantastic. I spent an entire day with her. Initially I thought I'd just bring her in for a consultation. But as we began to talk, I was excited to implement her suggestions. She immediately began rehanging the artwork we already had to create a 'gallery' with much better lighting for the pieces. And then we went shopping for new pieces - clocks, mirrors, etc. And she hung them all. In six hours my living room, family room and kitchen were transformed. It was so easy and fun, and best of all, it feels like 'us' but I never would have thought of any of it without Stephenie (or ever gotten around to doing it!).

Stephenie helped us with some remodeling projects and a general refresh of our home. She took our astethic and personalities and shaped them into ideas that were a perfect fit for our home and for us. She is extremely professional and so much fun to work with. I can not say enough good things about her and how our home projects turned out. She was the expert we needed to make our home reflect us and feel like ours. She is amazing!

We called Steph after getting her number from friends who's house was beutifully decorated. We were looking into minor remodeling and help with decoration after the remodel. After a few minutes of our walk-throug we knew Steph had a great sense of style. The whole project became more than expected as we couldn't say no to Steph's great ideas. From Painters, contractors, and carpenter to shopping for furniture and art she got it all right and made the process super fun for us.

What a pleasure to work withStephanie, 2 different projects.... our dream home, then our dream office! Fun, creative, wonderful follow through, and very fair with her professional fees. Stephanie probably saved us more money with her direction and guidance than her fees. We are done building and designing, but if we ever ventured again, we'd give Stephanie a call.

Stephenie assisted me during the new construction selection process for all of my tile, wood, cabinet color, and paint. Having her expertise and calm spirit made the process smooth and I left feeling confident in my choices. I knew my house would flow seamlessly and that I would have no regrets. The best part about Stephenie is her understanding of putting colors and textures together, which makes our home feel comfortable and gave it all a timeless look.

Kelly!!! Your home has turned out so beautifully!!! It was so much fun to meet with you and your hubby and it was a true honor to help you create your dream home. Thank you so much for the sweet review and for sharing your amazing photos!!!

I have had the pleasure of knowing this amazingly talented and extremely professional woman for over a year. I am not ready for her services just yet. However; I am in awe of the work she has done for others, and can't wait to tap into her uncanny brilliant designer brain. There is no limit to Stephenies creativity & desire to help make her clients dreams become a reality. Stephenie also sets the bar extremely high for quality, honesty, and accountability from not only herself, but everyone she associates her name with. You would be hard pressed to find another designer of the same caliber as Stephenie Monson.

Absolutely amazing... Within minutes Steph was able to transform my office into a calm and wonderful space! She incorporated my personality, my personal photos and even my funny eccentric gold frog collection, LOL! Thank you Stephenie, all my clients are just blown away with how calm and peaceful the office feels yet still includes my eccentric personality. I couldn't be more grateful or more pleased! Thank you again. I am already looking forward to the next time I can use her expertise!

Our experience was totally different in terms of skill, inadequate attention to detail, poor functionality of many of specifically her designs and quality of work. And now that problems arise we are experiencing a total lack of concern or ownership of faulty design issues. Don't count on a warranty! I am quite sure this designer doesn't have any formal education in design work and so it is my personal opinion that any work done should be kept on the level of "what is pretty" because purely on that level she does have a good eye. Make very sure you understand some of the more complex requirements of the designs such as floor rigidity requirements for over sized tiles...just one example of the many we experienced because at the end of the day you will hear "You approved it." Or worse. Like that is not what you are paying her to know. It would also be a good idea to closely review lawsuits. Buyer beware with this vendor.

Comment from Valiant Design:

Lynda,
Thank you for your review. While it is always my goal to meet or exceed my client's expectations, I understand that this can not always be possible. In the case of your cracked floor tiles, it was unfortunate that the concern was not brought directly to me, but rather through a 2-10 Warranty complaint about a month ago. Upon receiving a copy of the complaint from a 2-10 Warranty rep, I promptly followed up on your concern that the framing may be the source of the issue. I immediately hired a structural engineer to who visited your home and found that the structure was built as designed. I then contacted the local supplier of the tiles and obtained contact info for the tile manufacturer's rep. This rep was eager to stop by your home and contacted you to arrange a visit while he was in-town from the Seattle area. He was unfortunately told by your husband that you were both too busy to accommodate his request. I then requested that this rep investigate whether there were any framing specs that I was unaware of and that are not readily available on their website or packaging. He did this and found that there where no specific framing instructions or requirements for increased framing to install the tile. The tile rep then quickly agreed to submit a claim to the manufacturer for possible product defect. This complaint is so new that we have yet to hear back from the tile company on this claim. The manufacturer, supplier, installer nor myself have ever experienced cracked "wood tiles" with standard framing engineering. It is my hope that as we work through the appropriate channels that we will discover the cause of the issue, replace the product with confidence and you can begin enjoying your home again.
Kindly,
Stephenie Monson

Commented: Kitchen paint colour helpI would definitely go white! You've got great texture and color already with the elements you have listed for the room. Let the white be a striking backdrop for the stars of the show. From the picture...

Commented: Where do we put our fridge in a kitchen redo?I would opt to get the fridge out of the doorway and away form the sink/window/dishwasher wall. There's a lot going on over there. I would opt for far left of the microwave.

Commented: Need help tying couch and media console togetherI agree with groveraxle. We need to see the space they are intended for so we can take into account the lighing and surrounding colors of the space.

Commented: corbels or no corbels?I'm actually for the corbels, but only on the garage. Add shutters to the stacked windows and paint your fascia and soffits a deeper color so they pop from the brick.

Commented: Black Walls ... We Need to Know!I love black walls, especially when walls are paneled. You do need to carefully layer colors to add dimension and contrast, though.
