“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.”

“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!”

“Sydney and Michelle are the best! They made my kitchen remodel so easy by helping select new counter tops, tile and paint that completely transformed the look and feel of our whole house (and stayed within our budget). We were so pleased that we hired them again to revamp our lake house. We painted some of what used to be floor to ceiling knotty pine to bright everything up, added new lighting throughout and a few key pieces of furniture. We have received so many compliments on both projects, definitely recommend!”

“Lillian is a unique talent. She has the ability to see potential in your home you never could have imagined, and then the ability to build her vision at a reasonable cost, greatly increasing the market value of your home. Lillian took my parents’ 50-year-old home and brought it into the 21st century, turning it into a like-new home. As a result of her creation we realized multiple bids upon listing and netted some $90,000 more upon sale than estimated by one of the largest real estate companies in the Twin Cities. She worked tirelessly to bring her vision to life, putting in unimaginable hours of time preparing the home for sale, with her keen eye noticing the smallest detail. I cannot say enough about her dedication to helping us prepare our parents’ home for its new owners, in making the design decisions for us which maximized the home’s potential and market value. Thanks both to Lillian and Clayton for all your hard work in preparing my childhood home for sale and for the great result you achieved.”

“I hired Amy at Interior Impressions to help me with several decorating tasks around my new home. I love Amy's style, how she has a great sense for detail, and how professional she is. Everything Amy has helped me with this far looks just beautiful!! So happy with the end results. Her staff is so friendly, it's very enjoyable to go into her store and shop.”

“Jane Marie did an awesome job redecorating our Master Bedroom. We wanted a relaxing master suite and she more than accompished our goal. Her knowledge of color, texture and fabrics was excellent. She was very quick to pick up on our likes, dislikes, style and personality. Her selection of contractors (electrician and carpenter) was great. We even used the electrician for a different project on our own. The project was finished within the deadlines that we set. She was very realistic when setting the deadlines while keeping in mind we were dealing with many items that needed to be ordered and custom made. We were unrealistic in the budget we set for our bedroom project given our taste and selection of items. We purchased everything new in our bedroom during this project, including bed, chairs, tables, artwork and accessories. Jane Marie was awesome at saving us money whenever she could. She was also great at finding low cost and washable items for our bedding due to the fact that we have two Golden Retrievers that are in our room at night. We would highly recommend Jane Marie and Embellshment Design Studio to anyone and if we ever do a redecorating project again, we plan on working with her again.”

“All I can say is WOW. This year I moved into my own apartment and was completely overwhelmed with the idea of decorating an entire space, alone. Stage to Stay was my saving grace. The dynamic duo, Katie and Mary, started by looking at my floor plan. Then, they came with me to the furniture store and helped me pick out pieces that were perfect for my space! Their work continued as they helped me decide on all my finishing touches, with my personal taste in mind, and responded instantly to any questions I had. I am so thankful I looked to professionals when decorating my apartment. When I get home from work I still find myself smiling: I love the furniture, decorations, and all of the finishing touches Katie and Mary recommended. Do not think any space is too little for their help, you should love the space you live in! I would recommend this professional, personable, and creative team to anyone!”

“Erin's designs are modern yet timeless and feel effortless yet impactful! I highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for a kind, loving, professional who will bring your home into a world of its own design, beauty and warmth!”

“We have worked with Timothy over several home projects over 6-7 years. He is absolutely amazing and has totally transformed our home. He goes above and beyond and his attention to detail is unmatched. Our last project was part of a remodel and addition that we did and he managed all aspects, from wallpaper, flooring to furniture and decor. He is attentive to the needs of the family and to the things that are important to them but is not afraid to push the decorative boundaries to finish the look. Superb professional that you can entrust with your most precious asset!!!”

“Stacia is very hands-on and oh-so-talented. She is a pure joy to work with and has amazing style and class. I love how she incorporates existing elements with new pieces...she ALWAYS creates a beautiful space!”
