Sue helped us develop a comprehensive decorating plan for our new (to us) 1920's bungalow. I was overwhelmed by the challenge of combining two renters' households into a home with very small rooms into which few of our current furnishings fit. Sue toured our home with us, showed us fabric samples to get an idea of the colors and designs that inspired us. We revisited each area to develop a decorating plan. I came away feeling more confident and excited about moving forward on my own. We did a follow-up meeting and shopping trip with Sue for furnishings and accessories that yielded a lot of great additions to our home. Sue's suggestions have been, for the most part, on the mark -- have greatly improved our space and sparked our own creativity. Sue nudged us outside of our comfort zone, i.e. rut, to try some different approaches, while respecting our individual tastes. This process has saved us time and money because selection and purchases were done more quickly and successfully, reducing a lot of trial-and-error. Sue is responsive, enthusiastic, fun and skilled.
Description of Work: Develop a plan for decorating and furnishing our home, from roof tiles to vases! After the 4 hours we spent with Sue, we had a "book" containing inspiration fabric swatches, paint colors, drawings, and descriptions of room layouts, furnishings, lighting, window treatments, wall hangings and accessories for each area of our home; also recommendations on where to purchase items.

This was a highly valuable and efficient process!! Sue packs value into every minute she is in your home. She went through my entire house, not just my focus areas and had great ideas. I would like to do each and everything she suggested. She did a remarkable job of creating a visual of how things would look and feel with colors, furniture and accessories. I now have a complete project plan for my entire house. I highly recommend Sue if you are stuck in a rut like I was and need a fresh, creative perspective with some current trends.
Description of Work: Sue did a four hour design consultation at my house. I wanted a complete re-do of my dining room and needed color consultation for my kitchen walls.

Response from Home For A Change
I have so much fun helping clients with a personalized "design plan". You have a beautiful home and I was happy we could find your "design personality" through fabrics, colors and ideas for new furnishings. Thanks so much for the great review and I will continue to assist you with any questions you may have while shopping & implementing your design plan! Sue Hunter, Home For A Change interior design

From my first phone contact with Sue I felt she was responsive and interested in what it was I wanted to accomplish in my home. She was professional and had many positive suggestions alway keeping in mind my budget. I would most certainly recommend her services. I personally plan to use them again.
Description of Work: Sue spent four hours at my home going through each room recommending color schemes, fabrics, furniture placement and art/picture placement. In addition, Sue also left me with a folder of paint colors and fabric samples for each room to use as a reference for when I shop. She also accompanied me to select hardwood flooring to replace the wall to wall carpeting. I have since painted the bedroom and bath in the colors she suggested and am thrilled with the results. She works with what you have and offers innovated suggestions as to their use in a creative way.

The process took about 90 days and included multiple visits to stores and our home. She was available, prompt, and well prepared.
Description of Work: Sue was extremely helpful with paint color and tile selection as well as overall furniture and art arrangement including finishing items as part of our "New Look" in bedroom, kitchen, dining, family and living room. Very good grasp of what we wanted to accomplish.

Armed with bags of fabric and paint color swatches, Sue arrived at my home, took the tour, asked questions, and then sat on the living room floor to create "rooms" with fabric and paint samples. She then created a handwritten plan for each room that included color swatches to use for shopping. Loved working with Sue, and hope to use her services in the future for help in selecting a few furniture pieces. I never felt pushed to use more of her services, and yet felt she was very willing to work with me on the details if I wanted her to. Was amazed at all she provided in our single session, and enjoyed working with her very much. Highly recommend.
Description of Work: Working in my home, Sue created a plan for redecorating every room. Plan included color and fabric samples, notes about pertinent sources for purchasing specific products I asked about, and example illustrations (lighting fixture styles, centerpiece ideas, etc.).

She did a complete run through of my home within four hours. She helped me with everything from furniture to paint colors. Her rate was very reasonable. She's also available for picking out art and gave me web sites to look at.

Sue walks through the area. Then she pulls inspiration fabrics and paint colors, draws a design up, and describes all to the customer. She moves around furniture in the big areas so that those rooms are done minus the extra pieces. The end product is great, all with the existing furniture and for a fraction of the cost.
Description of Work: Sue came in and did a 4 hr makeover on my house. She moved my existing furniture around to optimize them and their use. She gave me a design and inspiration fabrics so I could purchse any extra pieces on my own. I've had her back several times to focus on one area of the house or to give design suggestions. People walk into my home and know I had a designer. They just don't know how little I spent!

I would highly recommend this interior designer. My experience was excellent-
Description of Work: Sue worked with me on a kitchen remodel job that also included living room/dining room updating. She worked with me on selecting cabinets, hardware, paint colors, flooring, lighting, countertops, backsplash, furniture and accessories. She is very budget conscious and really provided a very personalized service. She even came out the day my cabinets were installed to tell the installers where to put the pulls and handles. She was very hands on. We even spent a couple of days shopping for furniture, accessories and artwork. She understood my personal style and kept within my budget. I have shown my new kitchen to many people and everyone is very impressed. She took my 1980's kitchen and made it current. Many friends have requested her information so that they can contact her on their projects. I highly recommend this designer to anyone and for any type of project.

Sue was extremely competent in her ability to envision our home at its best. She was both professional and comfortable to have in our home. She made the time to anwer my questions as we worked so that I felt comfortable before she left. She provided the guidance I was seeking to take our home to the next level.
Description of Work: Sue came to our home and walked through every room in our upstairs, main level and basement. She then put together a "plan" for me that provides drawings, notes, and fabric and paint samples for furniture, pillows, curtains, wall colors, window treatments, etc.

As I noted, Sue was always prompt, returned calls and emails and was/isalways pleasant. Also of note - the people she works with seem to reflect that same professionalism and service orientation. The fellow who measured and installed my wood blinds was punctual, accurate and cleaned up after he left.
Description of Work: Sue has been wonderful to work with. I actually found her through a "Steal & Deals" column in the StarTribune this past Fall, where I learned she is a design professional with a long successful track record. Sue was running a special for $250 where she would come to your house and provide color consultation for any and all rooms, furniture placement, trouble shooting with design problems., fabric and furniture suggestions, lighting, etc. If that weren't enough, then she leaves you with your own personalized booklet with paint swatches, lots of notes, and quick sketches to support descriptions. She spent four intensive hours at my place and I was extremely happy with the recommendations and information she left with me. The paint recommendations alone made it worth the money spent. Sue is very cognizant of your budget and works around your needs. She's very approachable, listens to your needs, and quickly moves on if you change your mind or just don't like something. I have since ordered wooden blinds through her and am currently working with her (Spring 2011) on ordering a dining room set and will work with her on future projects - no more wasteful decorating mistakes for me! I have also recommended Sue to a few friends, and they are similarly pleased. It's great to finally find a designer who can help me spiff up my home!

It went great! Sue was so helpful, informative, and honest. She took a tour of my house and asked about all my rooms. What did I like? Didn't like? Have to keep? Want to get rid of? Then she went through fabric swatches with me and asked me what I liked and we talked about texture and colors. I learned so much. Then we walked through the house again. She used the fabric swatches to show me the colors I should use as we discussed furniture placement and design ideas. She took notes and made sketches all during the process. She gave me all these notes and the fabric swatches along with some informational sheets when she left. I love my book of information. It has saved me so much time and money. I know exactly what I am looking for and what I need to buy. I never go shopping without it. I have made several of the changes she recommended and couldn't be happier with the out come. She had a lot of simple and free or cheap things I could do to make big changes. Move this picture, move this rug, paint this utility door... Sue was great! I am calling her when we redo the kitchen. She will sit down with us and help make sure all the stuff we pick out will all go well together.
Description of Work: Sue came to my house and did a "two hour" design plan. (It was actually closer to four hours, but I wasn't charged any extra.)
