Style It Home

Carolyn is a joy to work with. She helped us update our home so that it’s comfortable for us, yet light and fresh for eventual resale. Carolyn listened carefully to all our ideas and offered many options that we hadn’t even considered. Her thoughtful guidance helped us with both major and minor updates to our home. She recommended many sources for materials and for tradesman that she has vetted for her clients. Carolyn is low key and is a wealth of knowledge and experience. She really takes each of her client’s needs and interests to heart. Her fees are quite reasonable and she saved us money in many areas with her expert advice. If you’re looking for a first rate experience, Carolyn is the one!

Carolyn exceeded my expectations with the redesign of my first floor, including the flooring, kitchen, family room, fireplace, staircase, and powder room. She is a joy to work with. She listened to my ideas and what I liked, but came up with options I never would have thought about on my own. She has a great eye for color and pulling a room together. I love how everything turned out!

Carolyn did an amazing job picking all paint colors for our whole house as well as choosing kitchen backsplash options, stone for the fireplace and furniture layout and picture placement. Wonderful to work with and great inputs/ideas.

Our house in Saint Charles was built in 2003 so we felt we were long overdue for some updates. We were looking to go from cherry-stained oak floors & cabinets throughout the house, but were very nervous to pick the wrong colors & really didn’t know what other improvements would be the best way to go within our budget. That’s when we called Carolyn. First, we loved how she responded so quickly and then came by with large samples of paint, floor stains, backsplash tiles and countertop samples. To have the professional samples in our space made things so much easier, along with her guidance, not to mention her patience! While we were working together, she asked to see pictures of what we liked & then tried to recreate the essence of the pics while still working w/ our furniture, paint colors on the walls & trim colors - since they weren’t going to be changing. This was no easy task! She is a true color specialist - knowing how all of the undertones work and how different light bulbs affect the appearance of paint as well as how natural light affects it - not to mention all of the different sheen options & what to use where. Carolyn had answers for everything! She was so kind with her mannerisms, so detail oriented & concise with her instructions. She also had great referrals for tradesmen and always responded to my texts & calls right away. As we were working together, I started following her on IG and she has an awesome profile! Thank you Carolyn! You are the best!!!

We recently purchased a home built in 1989 that had all of its original everything. Same light fixtures, carpeting and wall colors. Carolyn design elements were very considerate of our budget and our goals for use of the house. We wanted it to feel brighter and newer with a bit of an organic feel. She listened and then made selections for and with us. She selected wood floors, paint colors, carpeting, light fixtures, vanities and later the furniture rugs and art placement to pull our spaces together. We are loving the new look and feel and would still be stuck making decisions if it wasn’t for her wise design selections.

Carolyn is a very talented lady. She has an AMAZING ability to work with colors. Carolyn is very dependable and completed our project on time. We are happy with the budget-friendly plan for updating our property including the selection of paint colors, hardwood stain, and new light fixtures. Also, Style It Home staged our unoccupied townhome with SIH furniture and inventory to appeal to my home's unique urban buyers in a competitive market. We were happy with multiple offers after being on the market for 20 days. We look forward to working with Carolyn on our future projects.

Carolyn from Style It Home was an absolute pleasure to work with! She’s kind, funny, and extremely knowledgeable about current trends and traditional styling. I desperately needed my family room redone and she helped me select a wall paint color that worked best with my fireplace brick and larger furniture. It is light and airy and highlights the room perfectly. She worked her “magic” with my furnirure, accessories, and artwork placement. She even used some of my own photography to fill the walls. Carolyn took time to go shopping with me to pick out a new area rug and accessories. I was on a strict budget and she also knew that I was looking for a dining room set. Carolyn found me a set that works beautifully in my dining space. I needed a new roof as well and she met with me and my contractor to help select a roof color that is classic and timeless. Carolyn has an eye for detail I am excited to work with her on my next project!

I was looking for some help in styling my family room, which is right off the kitchen, and turn my old formal dining room into a cozy hanging out space. Carolyn was very knowledgeable and had a lot of great ideas. She helped me with the placement of my furniture, gave me ideas on how to use my space better, and made it look beautiful in the process! I would highly recommend her for your project!

Carolyn and her team were very helpful with design choices, colors, lighting, etc. The staging turned out great and we had a buyer within 48 hours. Even as a real estate professional, I was on the fence about staging, but I can see the tremendous value it brings. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Style It Home for all your staging and design needs.

Carolyn will bring a high level of knowledge, talent, commitment, and heart to your project! She is always motivated to please her clients and maximize their homes' potential.

Carolyn is a consummate professional with a great eye for what needs to be done to make a home more appealing to today's buyers. My clients embraced most of Carolyn's recommendations which in turn lead to my client's home going under contract with just our second showing. I truly believe that Carolyn is a critical part of my real estate team.

Carolyn was a tremendous help in staging our home for sale. She was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about current trends. She was respectful of our needs. Our house had been on the market for 6 months with only 6 showings. After we implemented most of her suggestions, within a week we had 2 showings and 2 offers! Carolyn always gave us the option to purchase extras or not and made very good use of our current possessions when possible. She was very thorough and made good use of our time. She also arrived at our home on time and dove right in. The results speak for themselves, we would highly recommend her!
