The Designers did an amazing job of delivering a well received rustic contemporary design on a very tight budget.

Studio M worked with their sister company Mingle to design and supply all the cabinetry as well. They also staged the entire home with furniture for the show and did such a fantastic job that the clients simply could not part with the furnishings and decor.

“Building a house is one of the most exciting, stressful, costly and memorable things one can do in a lifetime. Picking your designer is your first crucial decision. Emily makes the process incredibly pleasurable. She has the education and experience to make her great. However, it is her natural ability to see beauty that makes her exceptional. Emily has this incredible ability to help you see the vision which is hard for us first timers or novices out there. Emily takes your idea and stratifies it. She pushes you just enough so you take comfortable risks and gently steers you from regrettable mistakes. She is remarkable. One of the most important elements Emily brings is advocacy. During my build when we ran into problems, my builders/contractors would occasionally push me into solutions that were easiest or cheapest for them. Emily would not allow it. She would rectify the issue and provide solutions that we all agreed on and most importantly I was happy with. This makes her worth her weight in gold. Emily has everything you want and need in a designer. She is experienced, talented, diversified, organized, professional and truly a joy. You will have hundreds of decisions when building a home, Emily should be your first.”

“Tricia was wonderful to work with in every way. She was attentive to our preferences and needs and created a beautiful and functional design for our new kitchen in our timber frame lake home. We would highly recommend her for any project of this kind!”

“Becky has such a great eye and knew exactly what I wanted for my new apartment! She was able to find things that would brighten up the room and also stay within my budget. I would highly recommend her to help design any space!”

““When I was looking to replace my outdated kitchen, I wasn't sure where to start. I first met Rebecca Ryan at a local home show where she was representing the NKBA. Several months later when we decided to take the plunge, I called Rebecca first. After answering several questions about the way we use our present kitchen, design ideas we might have, likes/dislikes, budget, etc., she measured our space and came back with several options for re-designing the kitchen. She had ideas that we would never have thought of to maximize the space to its fullest potential. Now, almost 3 years later, I continue to love my kitchen. There is nothing I would change. I have recommended Rebecca to anyone who asks who did my fabulous kitchen.”
