We were thrilled when Melanie had an appointment available. When she arrived, she immediately put…read moreus at ease. She is so friendly, knowledgeable, kind and brilliant. We have been wanting to make some changes and did not know where to begin. We started the two hours completely clueless and ended with a solid, easy-to-follow plan. She is hands on and got right to work. Our living room is now rearranged in a way we had never considered (much more open and accessible) and after she left, we spent the evening there, hanging out as a family. And this weekend we have an action plan to move forward on additional updates. We are relieved, happy and excited! We highly recommend you stop reading these reviews and go book an appt or get on her wait list now. Do it! You can thank us later!

As we went through my condo, she immediately made me feel good about where I was at and what was possible. She set realistic ideas, helped me imagine what I could do with what I have today, and she let me dream a bit too. I'm excited to implement what we put together and will certainly reach back out to Melanie as I dig in.

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. She walks into a home and can see exactly what it needs and in what order. That combination of analytical training and design education is what makes The Considered Approach™ work. 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. We also provide strategic home staging for homeowners preparing to sell in the Minneapolis-St. Paul market.

We are now working with Jeff on our second home. We've upgraded from an apartment to a detached…read moretown home. 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!

Since we hadn't worked with a designer before, we started with the quick consult. Jeralyn was great. She looked at our kitchen and made recommendations that built on what we had already done. She prepared a color palate which she left for us. She then made suggestions on flooring, paint and small ways to accessorize. She charged $150 for two hours - which included a follow up phone call a few months later. The best part about working with Jeralyn, was all of her suggestions were spot on. From color choice, to layout of the room, her ideas fit our personalities but challenged us at the same time. She is a very talented designer. Plus, she's also a great artist. I highly recommend her.

Finding a collaborator your can trust, who consistently communicates, ensures their work is…read morequality, and pays attention to the details is EXTREMELY hard to find. Add to that list an entire team who creatively partners with you bringing excitement, possibility, and expertise to the table are nearly impossible to come by. Tiffany Hanken Design nails all of those much-needed qualifications and more. They ensured the layout of my new space was hyper-functional and catered to my day-to-day needs while still being beautiful, and within budget. They worked with me to select finishes that highlighted the unique beauty and history of my home while ensuring I spent the bulk of my budget on materials that look amazing today and will for decades to come. THD also went above and beyond to try and get my completely incompetent general contractor to be more communicative AND follow the detailed plans her team painstakingly created to ensure our vision came to life. They also pushed back on the GC when it was clear their plans for things like heating my bathroom were unsustainable and full-out bad solutions. She also went to bat for me when it came to having them ensure we could get in and out of our home during construction!!!! Honestly, If I had known about THD BEFORE I started my project I would have saved time, money, and a tremendous amount of heartache, shoot I might even look 3-5 years younger if I had enlisted her help EARLIER. I really want to help people avoid the nightmare that became my project by telling the world - Tiffany Hanken Design is a collaborator with a major ROI. You need Tiffany and her team on your team (at any point in the project because they will save the day if needed) but best to consult them on day 1!!!! ;)

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!
