Hi, I’m Penny Oliver, and I’d love to help bring your design vision to life! My approach is open-minded, intuitive, explorative, and client-centered. I strive to ensure a clear, well-planned design before any demo or construction begins.
I believe that great interior remodeling and design comes from collaboration—working closely with clients to understand not just what they need, but how they want to feel in their space. Every decision has a consequence and I am here as part guide, part translator: helping bring clarity to the process, turning ideas into possibilities, and navigating the decisions so that every choice reflects your vision.
I’m not interested in imposing my style—I prefer to use my experience and knowledge of design principles to enhance your style! Whether you're starting fresh or reimagining what already exists, we’ll explore what matters most to you and shape the design around that. Together, we’ll create something that feels like you—thoughtful, intentional, and meaningful.
I am the manager, the guide and the artistic handbook. I strive to anticipate challenges, streamline decisions, and ensure that every phase—design, demolition, rebuild and final touches—is executed with clarity and efficiency.
Although my first priority is to help you create a great remodeling plan, I also want to help guide you through every stage of your project, including:
✔ Floor plan design & 3D renderings – Visualizing and perfecting layouts before work begins
✔ Material & finish selection – Helping you choose the right flooring, tile, countertops, and more
✔ Cabinetry ordering – Sourcing high-quality custom or semi-custom cabinetry from top suppliers
✔ Demolition & rebuild management – Overseeing construction, contractor coordination, and structural changes
✔ Full interior design – Curating furnishings, décor, and top-quality finishes for a polished final look
Check out my reviews to see what past clients have said! I truly value the relationships I build with my clients. Collaboration and communication are the foundation of this business. With that in mind, my goal is to work cooperatively with you to make the remodeling process as seamless as possible.
Let’s make your vision a reality—contact me to get started!
