Stephanie of Spaces Reinvented is particularly gifted at... reinventing spaces! I was at a loss for…read moredecorating our tiny living and dining rooms; their hideosity has long been a dispiriting challenge. When Stephanie came in for an initial consult, she asked the right questions and identified the problems She immediately (and tactfully) proposed practical remedies. Carefully working with what we had already, she came up with color and style ideas. In a short time she came up with great alternatives for colors, paint, flooring, furniture and fabrics. She devised better furniture layouts for flow and openness. Stephanie's solutions cleared up my thinking immensely. For example, it never occurred to me to get rid of my clunky computer corner. She had excellent ideas for an office niche: now I don't know why I put up with my corner mess for so long. She made me realize that it is better to expose our handsome wood floors than hide them under disproportionately-large rugs. Not only did Stephanie provide insightful suggestions for the main rooms; she spent time going through the other spaces in the house, answering questions and making clever recommendations. Stephanie is a wonderful listener. I am easily intimidated by experts, but she is so personable and easy to work with, plus she's very generous. She made it seem like we are a team. I think she could solve anyone's design dilemmas. It's always a pleasure to watch a gifted professional perform her particular magic, and I look forward to seeing her again.

From the owner: Spaces Reinvented was founded by Stephanie Engel in 2017. Before launching the firm, Stephanie…read morespent over twenty years in the criminal justice field as a probation and parole agent. That background taught her how to read a situation quickly, spot what others miss, and make clear decisions under pressure. Those same instincts now shape how she approaches every design project.

It is not just a process on paper. It is how she actually thinks. Spaces Reinvented offers full-service residential interior design for homeowners across the Twin Cities who want professional guidance and a process they can trust. Every project is approached the same way: understand the home and the goals first, then define the right path forward. We manage every phase from space planning and material selections to furniture sourcing and installation, so nothing falls through the cracks and the finished home actually holds together.

I'm a realtor and have been working with Kim for several months now. Every time I have a new…read morelisting, I send Kim out to meet with my sellers so they can discuss how to make their home appeal to the broadest audience possible. She has a great eye for the details that I would definitely miss if I tried to do her job myself. My clients love her for how easy she is to work with and for the simple suggestions that make a huge impact on how their homes look. Almost every client tells me that after they follow her staging advice, their house looks so great that they almost don't want to move! I can't think of higher praise than that! I am a 100% believer that a well-staged home will sell faster and for a higher price than one that hasn't been professionally staged by Kim. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone!

I don't understand why a lot of these reviews are about the online experience (makes this store…read morelook bad!). We stopped by on a whim this last weekend and I'm glad we did. We were in the area and were stopping at some other shops nearby that are typically more "discounted" for home decor. After striking out at two places and making the drive to Burnsville, we decided we might as well stop into Kirkland's. I'm glad we did! We found exactly what we were looking for and the whole store was 30%. We bought a decently large piece for our wall and it was under $40 ... probably cheaper than what we would have paid at those "discount" home decor stores nearby. Minus one star because the check out line was extremely slow, and it seemed like only one out of the two cashiers had any clue what they were doing.

Things we love about working with Jeff: - My very particular (with good taste) Mother in Law has been working with Jeff for 7+ years, Now that is as good as it gets with recommendations. - He is really great at listening and giving distinctly different options to gauge what us amateurs are really trying to convey - He makes a concerted effort to work around budgets. He has always looking at what his high quality home decor retailers are doing promotions on, to not just get us quality products, but also the best price. - He is incredibly polite and a pleasure to work with. He definitely has a perspective, and point of view, but doesn't push his choices -- thats because he makes sure he gives choices hes happy with. :) - He thinks outside of the box, he's custom made several pieces for us (in reasonable budget) to help us better utilize our little apartment! Would definitely recommend him to anyone, for their first, second, and last home!

Home Depot contracts this company as a third-party installer. If their installation services are…read moreany indication of how they conduct their overall business, I would NEVER work with them. A woman called me on a Thursday to schedule installation for the following Monday at 8:00 a.m. No one showed up. I had to wait until 10 a.m. when they opened to call and ask where the installer was. No answer, so I left a message. I didn't receive a call back until 10:30 when they said the installer called in sick, but they did commit to sending someone out that afternoon. Great! Except he only showed up with 4 out of the 5 window treatments we ordered. I called Home Depot to ask about they 5th window treatment and they said it would be shipped separately and they were surprised that the company didn't wait to receive the entire order before scheduling install. The Home Depot rep said the shade would be at the installer by the following Monday. I waited two additional weeks to see if they would call to schedule the installation, but heard nothing. Finally I called the Home Depot to check on the status. They said they would call the Drapery Place to follow up. Low and behold, the Drapery Place calls me an hour later to schedule an install for this morning at 9:30 a.m. Do you think the installer has shown up? Of course not! And now I (AGAIN) need to wait until they open to figure out what is going on. I have wasted SO much time as a result of their ineptitude, so if you value your time I highly recommend you go ELSEWHERE. It's so unfortunate, too, because I like to support the local guy, but terrible service like this drives customers away.

The Drapery Place was the subcontractor Home Depot hired to full my Hunter Douglas window coverings…read moreorder placed in December 2017. The original installers were friendly, but sloppy: they accidentally drilled several holes in my new patio door frame for an inside mount when the product was made for an outside mount (damage is still not repaired). Of the 21 items purchased, 4 had to be sent back for repair/replacement (not due to Draperly Place error), I had to call back a month later to check in the status of the repairs. Round two of the install: whoever prepped the order in Bloomington sent the installers out with 3 of the 4 items, but included a product from another customers order. In the meantime, one of the shades originally installed turned out to be malfunctioning so in addition to still being down 1 shade, I had to send back another item. Once again, I had to call to follow up on the status of my order in April. I was told the items were ready but that the installers only worked Tuesdays and Thursdays - despite the inconvenience, I agreed to be home a couple of weeks later (the earliest of the restricted days I could manage). I was assured I would be the first stop of the day between 7-8am. By 8am, I no one had arrived so I left for work and called the Drapery Place (which mysteriously is never answered by a person - only a series of voicemail messages) and requested that since I had to leave, could the installers just leave the products on my porch so I could put them up myself and be done with this. My call was returned about 6 hours later with a vague message about how they could stop in later that day, or the following morning "whatever was easiest for me." By this point, I've had it. I returned their phone call and had to leave another message asking for the 2nd time if they could just drop off the items. No one has called me back - that was over a week ago. For the money spent and their access to resources, I expect more from Home Depot! From a customer service standpoint, this has to be one of the most painful experiences I've ever had. Waiting 6 months for a few window treatments is unacceptable!
