Design Tip Tuesday: 5 Things I've Learned About Paint
Ever since I started doing paint at Pinnacle Interior Designs, I have learned a lot about it so I thought it would be great to share! Picking the right paint color can make or break your space. So when picking your colors, be aware of colors that you don't like and pick colors that make you feel good. Before you start looking for a paint color, here are a few tips that I think will help you. 1. Neutrals in mainspaces: When looking for a main space color, my advice is to make

102nd Place N- Part 1
102nd Place N - Part 1 So not every project scope comes to fruition. After meeting these clients for the first time and then during subsequent contractor bids, it became clear that the laundry list of things that they wanted to do would far exceed their budget, their families ability to live through it, and the return on investment on the property. After the second contractor bid with Landmark we (almost in sync) turned to each other and agreed that this was not their forever

Design Tip Tuesday: Styling an Existing Space
The outcome of styling an existing space is very rewarding and can make a huge difference in your home. It can also be a very challenging task. It can be challenging because sometimes you have to work with some design elements that can not be removed or fixed.

Design Tip Tuesday: Styling a New Space
Styling you’re home can make it feel like a completely different space, whether it’s adding some throw pillows or putting books on the shelf to complete the look of the space. Remember, styling is always necessary to finish off a space. These details can help make your space come to life. In a new space, especially, it is crucially important to style the space as if it is reflecting yourself and the space that you want to create. When talking about new spaces, I mean remodels

Design Tip Tuesday: 5 Things We're Loving Right Now!
5 Things We Are Loving Right Now! 1. Distinctive Hardware The days of going to a hardware store and picking up your average pull or knob for your kitchen, bathroom, or built-in projects are starting to become a thing of the past and for good reason! Instead Wayfair, Build, Pottery Barn, Rejuvenation, CB2, Etsy, and many others offer a wide variety of designs, finishes, textures, that aren't so "builder grade".

Missed Part 1- CLICK HERE! Jewel Ln N - Part 2: During Like I touched on in Part 1, the laundry room/mudroom remodel was for a close friend and former gymnastics coworker. I had been on numerous projects with them before. Once the delay of the tile floor back order was over we were ready to demo. Everyone was eager to get the project rolling. Now, the idea of living without a washer and dryer was not fun, but Stoltz did a great job limiting that stress as fast as possible. I

Design Tip Tuesday: Kitchen Tile Backsplash
Tile Backsplash If someone is updating their kitchen and painting the walls a new color and possible the cabinet just wasn't enough and countertop are just too expensive. Another great alternative is to install a backsplash. A simple average install of a new backsplash can cost anywhere from $1,200-$2,000 but what is a more simple style? There so many choices within the design process how do you know which one to choose? Also one that won't be dated in 5 years? Or what will g

Jewel Ln N- Part 1
Jewel Ln N - Part 1 As I have written before, I often work on friend's homes. This can be challenging because you want it to be perfect and go off without a hitch. You DO NOT want anything to jeopardize your friendship. I have known Holly for almost two decades and have worked on three homes for her and her husband Dan, so when they reached out about doing their laundry/mudroom I wasn't surprised. I had already worked on their master bathroom, basement, living room, and Dan's

Looking back on 2020...
Looking back on 2020... I am sure I am not alone in feeling like this year was like riding a rollercoaster. I loved them in my youth, but in my adult life, not so much. I started this year with more clients and prospective clients than ever before. I had an intern who I had promoted to a paid consultant, the first real member (other than myself) of the PID team. Then... lockdown... it caused clients to pause or cancel projects, new clients dried up, kids and husband were home
