A True Transformation: My Home Renovation Experience with Creations by Caty…read more Recently, I moved into a home that had so much potential -- a fantastic location, a spacious backyard perfect for entertaining, and a beautifully finished basement. On paper, it sounded like a dream. But once I settled in, the reality began to surface. The previous homeowners had clearly neglected many aspects of the property. It seemed like a rushed attempt to make things "presentable" for selling, but the cosmetic upgrades were outdated at best -- and in some areas, just plain questionable. Tacky finishes, poor craftsmanship, and design choices that left me scratching my head. Enter Creations by Caty -- the team that completely changed everything for me. From the moment I met with Caty and her incredible team, I felt confident that I was in good hands. We had one planning meeting before I left on a pre-planned out-of-state trip. That's right -- I handed over my keys and put the entire renovation into their hands. I knew I wouldn't be there to oversee the progress, but I also knew I didn't need to be. Their professionalism, vision, and attention to detail were obvious from day one. What impressed me most was Caty's ability to see the full potential of the space immediately. For instance, she quickly pointed out that a wall dividing the kitchen wasn't load-bearing -- and suggested we remove it to open the entire area. That alone transformed the energy and flow of the house. But she didn't stop there. She designed a custom kitchen island that doubled my storage space, complete with roll-out drawers on both sides -- practical and beautiful! She also chose sleek black accents that tied together the new hardware and lighting, giving everything a modern yet timeless feel that fits perfectly with my lifestyle. While I was away, the team worked tirelessly to bring our shared vision to life. Caty kept me updated with photos and check-ins, but truthfully, I had full trust in her. She helped guide the selection of paint colors, flooring, countertops, and more. Every decision was intentional and cohesive, and the result was even more stunning than I could have ever imagined. As if that wasn't enough, Caty went the extra mile to make sure I came home to a truly finished space. She styled the front porch and back deck to feel welcoming and warm, and even organized areas inside the home to make my transition back as smooth as possible. Walking through the door that first time felt like stepping into a dream -- one I didn't think could be real until that moment. There truly are no words to express the gratitude I feel for the team at Creations by Caty. Their passion, creativity, and hard work not only transformed a neglected house -- they gave me a home. I will forever be thankful for the love and care they poured into every detail. If you're looking for someone to help bring your vision to life -- or maybe even help you see a vision you didn't know was possible -- look no further. Creations by Caty is the real deal.

I contacted Caty originally to help me choose paint colors at our lake home. She has a real talent…read morefor finding the right colors to compliment each room. Caty helped me with additional updates like light and bathroom fixtures, wall art and furniture. She is budget conscious and very responsive to questions and schedules. Caty kept each task moving and the updating was completed much faster than I projected. Once the lake home was complete we needed to sell our home in Brainerd. The house had good bones but after 20 years it needed updating as well. With Caty's guidance we spent about $4000 on paint and carpet. Caty's staging beautifully transformed each neutrally painted room into a welcoming space. My adult daughters didn't recognize their former bedrooms. We had multiple offers from prospective buyers in days and sold it for 20K over asking in one week. I am certain that Caty's staging contributed to our successful sale. I highly recommend Caty's staging services. She has a vast inventory of furnishings and will not be satisfied until every last detail is perfect. Karen & Jon

LOVE, LOVE. LOVE I…read morejust love my new flooring!! I picked wide plank luxury vinyl for my entire main floor. I love how it looks and how it flows seamlessly from the Living Room/Dining Room space to the Kitchen and even in to the small bathroom. I have been walking on the floors barefoot since they were installed. The installer did a good job on the thresholds. Both the kind that lead to an outside door and the difference in the color of the plank into the bathroom space. The Owner Tina was great to work with. I will work with Seestedt's again when I update my stairs and upper level of my home. I see my hometown is listed as someplace in California. Not true, Saint Paul Minnesota suburb.

Until you are looking for a destination, you may not realize how close or where it is. Working in St Paul we have easily driven past Seestedt's a few hundred times going to work or Saints games. Anyhow we are considering remodeling our bathroom and based on my Yelpsearch, Seestedt's had some very solid reviews. Being that they are local and family owned are other key factors that we support. I had already done some research on their website to see what they had in stock. When we arrived we were greeted by Garrett and Clare. Garrett showed us to the area where they had their vinyl plank flooring. Seestedt's has carpet, vinyl plank and wood flooring and more. Garrett was very helpful answering our questions and explaining the benefits and different types of flooring we were looking for. We also learned that Seestedt's is in a historical building as we were shown the cut room where they used to cut the carpet decades ago. We were able to get a better idea of the colors we would like as this trip was more of information and check out the styles before we make our purchase. Seested's is also in the process of moving to a new location off of 94 and I believe White Bear Ave. They should be in their new location sometime between the end of this year or early 2019. Thanks to Garrett for his friendly and helpful information, we will be visiting again soon to either narrow our selections down or to purchase our flooring.

First lets talk about location...its pretty great, not too far off Hwy 100 and Excelsior…read more There are plenty of other stores in the area, but they have their own parking lot so you don't have to try to scavenge for street parking. I came in specifically to look at Joybird sofas as they are an authorized retailer and have sofas on the sales floor. Its scary to make an online purchase (and such a large, custom purchase) without touching and feeling an item, so I was thrilled to learn this store was so close to home and had what I was looking to purchase. I had a great time working with Kristin. After countless emails and a couple visits to the store I ordered my sofa, and also ended up with a chair and lamp. Kristin was great to offer her designer opinion while listening to mine and helping me make the big decision based on my existing home design. They offer financing (OAC) and 'white glove' delivery (they take all the packaging stuff with them when they leave, set the item in the room of your choosing) just like Joybird, but they will for other items you purchase there, too. The kicker is the 2 week in home trial period. Keep it for two weeks and if you decide you hate it they will take it back to the store and offer you store credit to replace the item. This really eased my worry about spending 2K on a sofa I may not like as much in person. I can't wait until it arrives! They also have home decor items here, like pillows and lamps. Its a super fun place to just look around and get inspiration, or fall in love with a custom fox lamp which would totally look amazing on your nightstand. Or maybe that fun mounted anatomical model of a heart on your desk. Or maybe that chair with acrylic arms. You get the idea... Inventory is changing constantly, so visit often. See you there!

I immediately knew I was going to be at home in this store. There was furniture and accessories, for you neutral people there was plenty of that. For those of us who like color, plenty of that too. My designer Billie was super sweet and let me browse but also let me know that anything can be custom ordered and that this is just a small sampling of what they can get for me. I wasn't sure if I could afford it so I had her price out a chair for me it was $1100 but they had a 20% off sale so it would be $880. I'm new to furniture shopshopping so I went to another store later (La-Z-Boy) and it was comparable to that. I walked in at 20 minutes to closing on a Sunday night, but Billie didn't seem rushed at all. I was the one saying "let's just wrap this up. Can you give me something to look at online?" And she gave me two websites she thought I would like based on our conversations and looking at what they have to offer. I will see where our furniture shopping journey takes me but I plan to be back!

We have been working with Mingle and Studio M on a project that isn't really huge, but we have…read morereceived amazing customer service and attention every single time we come in. I have been working with Carly from Studio M who is coordinating the design side of the project. To address the previous reviewers complaint about Mingle not taking small jobs, there is something this reviewer is leaving out. Studio M will not contribute design help until you sign a contract for their time as they are a separate but complimentary entity that provides extra design services for Mingle clients. It would be absurd to expect a design firm to provide free services without a contract. Also, it would be absurd to expect a company to place an order with their supplier without a deposit. So, it is possible the communication from the previous reviewer was a bit poor. But, back to my review. First of all, our project was well under 50K. I would estimate it around 20-25K. And I have to admit that Mingle's opulent showroom initially intimidated me so much, I went through the doors with a great deal of skepticism. However, I am happy to have been proven very wrong about the perception that they would only work with big jobs. I was very upfront with them about the size of our new home and they remained unflinchingly helpful. Love love love working with Carly and Mike. We came to Mingle in a panic after realizing the cabinet supplier the builder was using just wasn't providing the service we needed. After losing weeks with the previous supplier, we were up against a wall, and Mike worked quickly with my husband to put together drawings and a quote. Then, Carly and I tweeked the layout and wood selection. It was an extremely quick process that went smoothly because of Mike and Carly's the high levels of experience, expertise and professionalism. Because Carly is an independent designer, I am able to bring items, swatches, and ideas from outside of Mingle, while utilizing the amazing selection Mingle offers. The process Studio M offers is really very fluid and flexible and helped me immensely in getting design decisions made and move our project along quickly. I am not a designer and I have never liked the selection process, but working with Carly has been extremely enjoyable because of her ability to assess and offer up reasonable options that fit my needs. Our meetings have been at Mingle, on-site and at a tile shop so far, but I look forward to using Carly's services throughout this design selection process and so appreciate her ability to help set priorities in the design and building process.

Note to prospective customers: Mingle says they accept projects of all sizes, but you will be…read moreignored if your project / budget is under $50k. Go elsewhere and don't waste your time with them. Here is our experience: We dropped in on a weekend to discuss a remodeling project for our Maple Grove home. We were hoping for guidance on how their services work and to get started on our own remodel project, but we were told that they cannot talk about our project until we sign a contract and agree to work with them. At this point in our project we were still trying to determine if the remodel we wanted was physically possible (i.e., could we knock out certain walls and move laundry machines, etc.). They said we can bring in pictures and they can look at it - but I was more comfortable having a contractor actually see the space in person to make that determination. Again, I was told that I would need to sign a contract before any of that could happen. I asked if we could at least speak with a contractor first to determine if it was feasible; I wasn't about to commit to a project and provide a retainer fee when we didn't know if it would even be possible. They reluctantly agreed to send me a few names of contractors so I could reach out to them. I gave my phone number & email to the Mingle representative, but we never heard back from her. I later followed up with an email to her and she never responded. A royal brush off and great way to do business, Mingle. Not impressed in the least. We thought we'd give them another chance, however. Maybe we just got the wrong person and would have better luck next time. My husband called and got directed to the appropriate person - but had to leave a message. That message - left at least 2 weeks ago - remains unreturned and I have no confidence that they will ever call. Another fumble for team Mingle! They will, however, see me one more time - when I triumphantly return to Pretty Woman them with the receipts from my completed project. Maybe that will encourage them to pay more attention to customers in the future; I'm not sure how they can manage to run their business otherwise. Good luck to them.
