Although I hadn't planned going into this store since not looking for any furniture what caught my…read moreeye was the racks of greeting cards. I really like being able to find cards that are unique & somewhat local instead of CVS, target type places. I spent more time in this store than I should've but bought several birthday cards that were pretty neat. Many of them were either made from recycled materials or had soy free ink, not the usual Hallmark crap. The store is a decent size & they have other random household items that they sell here. Yeah come in & take a gander, you never know what might find.

Lisa helped redecorate/redesign our living room, foyer, and dining room - and it was the best…read moreinvestment we ever did. Lisa is outstanding! During our first meeting, she listened to our thoughts, was aware that we needed to have a design/home that accommodated our three year old, and had MANY ideas. she was also mindful to our budget for each room. Our home is beautiful, and it's all thanks to Lisa! I can't say enough positive things about Lisa, and I strongly recommend her to everyone I know.

Lisa Jensen is an incredibly talented designer. I have worked with two other designers, and…read moreworking with Lisa was by far the best experience. I did a One Week Room Design for our living room, an area of our house that we have redecorated twice before, spending good money on quality pieces that in the end just didn't work together. I researched local designers and loved her "Before and After photos on her website. For our living room we had all kinds of specifics we needed included in the layout and the details, and she managed to put them all together in a way that works extremely well functionally and looks gorgeous. It is now our favorite spot in the house, whereas before we rarely went into the room. We have now hired her to help us with our Master Bedroom design. You won't be disappointed. I had spent loads of money and time on getting pieces that didn't end up working together before working with her. She is worth every penny. I highly recommend her work!

She has a clear point of view about what a space should look like and how it should function, and she skillfully blends her vision with client input and tastes. She is conscious of budget and transparent in pricing and approach, and is incredibly responsive and available to her clients. Large projects are a significant investment of time and effort for all involved, so at the end of the day, you need to work with someone that is knowledgeable, inspires confidence and is easy and fun to work with. Katie is all that and more. She makes your home more functional and beautiful than you would have ever imagined. Five stars (and more)!

Working with Katie allowed me to take a big exhale. I had…read morea bunch of ideas but I didn't know how they'd fit together or what the next step should be. Katie helped to create cohesive clear vision for our home. She helped me delete projects that would cost more than the value they would add, and to add a few projects that wouldn't cost much, but would make a big difference in the overall feel of our home. She's well versed in how to optimize the look and feel of every space. We are still in the process. I can't wait to see what the "final" product looks like. An added bonus: Katie is caring, fun, funny, and of course has an innate sense of style.
