What an absolutely spectacular find! Marnie at House Blend lighting had the unique fixtures we were hoping to find to compliment our new home. When first shopping for fixtures we were disappointed, all the other stores had generic, plain fixtures, then we accidentally stumbled upon House Blend, and were so relieved and excited that we would be able to have truly distinctive lighting that everyone now comments about when walking through our home. From helping pick out fixtures, to drawing up a lighting floor plan, then coming right out to the building site, Marnie was there for us! We couldn't have done it without House Blend. Keith & Debbie Plombon Marnie thinks beyond the conventional ways of working with acustomer. She takes the time to get to know what really matters toyou and creates very unique and highly personalized designs.Karen Betzig-Lundberg We are very happy with our project and would definitely call again.Marnie handled any situation that arose very seamlessly and we wish her all the best.Mary and Tom Fankell "Marnie has done many design projects for us over the the past10 years. From transforming a single room, to entire home design,Marnie will make it uniquely yours. If you're building, Marnie canhelp pull your ideas together - from colors to lighting plans. Ifyou would like to update your existing home, I've learned it doesn'tneed to be done all at once, it can be be enjoyed room by room. Thismakes projects much more budget friendly. If you have children,their room is a great place to start - Marnie will transform anordinary room into the extraordinary!" Lori Hagen My husband and I sought out Marnie's expertise when working on a difficult remodel. We were dealing with a difficult space andtrying to convert a small kitchen/living area into a master retreat.Marnie not only figured out the space, the flow, the lights, theclosets and what to do with 2 dormers but we also decided to haveher complete the decorating as well. She came to our house to get afeel for our tastes and then had my husband and I meet with her atthe shop to see what we liked in terms of colors, fabrics, lights,etc. She presented us with several options and we decided on onethat we totally love today. We have to admit we were a littleafraid at times when Marnie selected and suggested things we never would have thought of on our own. We finally decided to place our trust in her and just go for it and we're so glad we did. Over a year later, we still comment to each other how much we love our master retreat, how well it turned out and that we never could have pulled it off without Marnie's help. Chris Blair and Sharon Hayward "Marnie was very helpful in contributing her professional, creative touch to the lighting challenge of a remodel project. She had many options for us to consider --- and was more than patient and supportive in allowing us the time to make the right choices. In the end, the most often commented part of the remodel project is the lights - and how much they blend in with the contemporary makeover of a traditional home."Carol Craig The room is GREAT, FABULOUS! It turned out even better than I could possibly imagine. We are worried though . . . don't want our kids to be too comfortable here! :) Your unique and individualized approach to decorating is much appreciated. Thank you so much.Karen Aubree's Room...Her jaw dropped -silence - and some more silence. She turned and looked at us and said, "All I can say is WOW! , how did you do this - I LOVE IT!!!!" She has thanked and hugged me many many times. And the grand finale was a simple little statement, "Ithink I'm going to sleep in here". Robert and Lori Our House Blend experience was one of our favorite parts of building our house.I was one of those people that thought I'd just use lamps...but good lighting is a key factor. The lighting pulled together our eclectic mix of old and new and was the finishing touch...seeing is believing and I'm a believer!Sandi and John Polzin of Down to Earth Marnie and Mike, Thanks for all you did, and are doing forme, with my bathroom project. I do LOVE it, Marnie. You really didunderstand what I wanted, and came through beautifully. Even with the mess and frustration, I would do it again in a heartbeat.....itis truly my dream bathroom come true!! Thanks again, Deb Swan I have had the pleasure of working with Marnie and House Blend for several years. I appreciate Marnie's understanding my personality of which she makes compatible with in her design work. She is very capable of working within my personal likes and dislikes. She has been great about educating me of the possibilities available in today's design and new styles. House Blend is considerate in working within my budget and prompt and accurate in their billing, so there are no surprises. I would recommend Marnie and House Blend to anyone interested in that "new room" to perk you and your house up!Tami NowakOur experience working with Marnie was nothing but positive! We especially appreciated her realistic and money-saving ideas of transforming our outdated decor into something more modern, without completely starting from scratch. With the addition of updated lighting fixtures and a few inexpensive upgrades, we now feel like our home is beginning to reflect our style! Marnie was absolutely wonderful to work WITH; she was willing to put in a little "elbow grease" on a few projects. Oh, and don't forget her sidekick, Mike...also nice to have an electrician working for House Blend to bring everything together!I would definitely recommend Marnie and House Blend for any interior design projects/ideas; especially if you are willing to think outside of the box or have an eclectic style. Will use them again in the future!Lauren and Jason BobbClient list available
