The responses from the guests that stayed in them were over-the-top positive. I think almost 100% of the time the first words were either “WOW!” or “This is nicer than my home.”

The other thing that is important to us, is that since these are rentals, they must stand up to a lot of use and abuse. We have been very happy with this aspect of the products that Carlene utilized in the furnishing of the cottages.

Lastly and by no means the least important, was Carlene herself and Brittany. They were both an absolute joy to work with. They love what they do and it shows through in their everyday dealing with me as a client. I felt more of a friend than a business partner. There were numerous times when they would call with an idea or just to check in to see how everything looked. As each cottage was completed, it truly was a toss-up to who was more excited for the finished product.

I have no hesitation personally recommending Carlene and Redstone Interiors. I would be happy to discuss my experiences with anyone that has any questions.

Mike Schwieters | Boyd Lodge, Crosslake, MN

I want Carlene to understand how truly happy we are with all of her dynamic design ideas—from the vision and planning, all the way down to the production and installation in our new home.

Often there will be just one landmark piece in a home, but we feel that our entire home is furnished and designed with a stunning look. It’s a Landmark Home!

Carlene’s ideas for a modern mountain home are exceptional. You have excellent taste, a strong work ethic, and you made it fun; what a bonus! It’s easy to see that you love what you do and it shows in your work. I’m so proud of our new home and can’t wait to share it with others. We feel so fortunate to have been able o work with you. Thank you, Carlene!

Involving Carlene and her team early in the design process allows for a seamless transition between architecture and interior design. Their attention to detail creates a custom and personalized touch throughout the home. Working with Carlene is a pleasure and it always feels like we are striving towards the same goal.

Millie Aldrich | Pure Design Studio

She listened to us and helped make our vision for our dream home come to life while at the same time making the design process fun and easy. We love the results and are so happy with our new home.

Carleen and Mark Leslie

She is unbelievably talented in taking a set of blueprints, imagining, then creating a very special home. We just look around in awe of how everything flows magically from room to room., and pinch ourselves saying “Do we really get to live here?” My husband and I saved so much money, stress, and arguments because of Carlene’s help. I cannot even begin to express my gratitude.

She designed my entire kitchen, fabulous lighting, custom furniture, and carpets. Not to mention utilizing special painting techniques and creating a mesmerizing ambiance that gave us a result that is more magical than we could have imagined.

Mike and Nelly Carnahan | Crosslake, MN

It puts a smile in my heart. We LOVE all of your beautiful ideas and stunning work. You are incredible!

Melanie Underbrink

We have lots of colors, our house is smashing! After five years, we love it as much as we did the first day.

Redstone Interiors made building a home go smoothly. From the beginning, we had a timetable of what decisions would need to be made each month. Our furniture, appliances, lighting fixtures, and accessories were all there waiting to be put in place when the home was completed.

We have a dream kitchen thanks to Carlene. She knew one of my hobbies was baking—the island is perfect for cooling many pans of cookies at one time, has many drawers for storing my baking supplies, plus a built-in mixer. Many, many, people have asked us “Who is your interior designer?” “Where did you find the lamp?” “Where did you find that chair?”

We just say “Carlene found it!”

Sharon Elmquist | Rush Lake, MN

As a client, I was given freedom of expressing my taste and with their professional guidance, the result was above and beyond all of my expectations.

I absolutely LOVE their work!

Annette Hawkins | Whitefish Lake, MN

Out lake home is filled with quality timeless pieces that we will enjoy for years to come. The compliments we receive from friends and family serve to reinforce what a good choice we made by partnering with Redstone Interiors.

Remodeling an entire home can be daunting, but Redstone Interiors made it seamless, with options from paint colors to flooring, plumbing, and light fixtures, to unique, quality furniture and window treatments. They were the complete package for us and we could not be more pleased with the results.

Heather Lees | Whitefish Chain, MN

We have had so many compliments on the lighting and furniture. It really is a nice look. You have a real talent! Mostly we appreciate how professional and honest you are. We would be happy to provide a reference if you ever have the need.

Tom and Connie Peterson

Cindy and I want to thank you for being so responsive to our changes. Redstone Interiors is an exception if the industry… a great point of difference.

Please feel free to use us as a reference at any time.

Kevin Roberg | Red Mountain Ranch, SD

She has many wonderful attributes but most importantly for us, she listened very carefully to determine our vision for our home, rather than attempting to impose design dictates on us.

Once she knew what we liked and how we planned to live in our space, she helped make our vision a reality through beautiful design choices. Working with her was a real collaborative process and she constantly sought our input and approval for each step of the plan.

Carlene is professional and well-organized with great attention to detail. She worked within our budgetary constraints and desired deadlines. In the past, we have been overwhelmed with too much choice when choosing furniture for our homes.

We loved that Carlene provided three great options for each item in the design plan so we could choose our favorite, which was the perfect amount of choice for us!

Carlene is truly versatile as evidenced by the work she did on our two very different homes. For our mountain home, she was challenged by our request to use our large number of very diverse family antiques. She very skillfully incorporated them into a coherent and lovely plan and added new furniture to the mix for a more updated look.

For our South Florida condominium, she helped us create a very contemporary space that is also warm and inviting. We love both our homes and Carlene’s assistance is a very important contribution to our day-to-day happiness.

Everyone realized the importance of home during Covid because we spent so much more time there. Carlene made both our homes truly wonderful places to be.

Maureen and Al Stiner | Vail, CO and Naples FL

We chose Redstone Interiors, and Britt Wille specifically, after hearing glowing recommendations, reviewing their portfolio of work, and an initial call that left me wondering if they were too good to be true. We needed someone who could grasp and organize a wide variety of preferences because frankly, we didn't know how to put our needs into words. Britt was by our side from the very beginning, guiding us to make sure the whole house flowed smoothly, that color choices, fixtures, and finishes were commensurate with the whole property, and that our custom home didn't turn into chaos. Building a house is a privilege - and it's hard work.

Britt brought us a perfect selection of colors and textures, incorporating my neverending stream of Pinterest boards with her lovely materials and textures we had to see to believe. She gently steered us away from some bad decisions and into some new ideas we wouldn't have found on our own, and she found a way to make some of our more outlandish ideas work seamlessly.

She worked directly with our builder to get things ordered and set up, and she was extremely responsive and organized throughout. She’s intelligent, fun, and infinitely kind, and she understands the mysteries inherent in good design—she made it all so easy.

To this day, when people walk into our house and compliment how well it's done, I tell them Britt Wille gets all the credit and I pass along the Redstone name.

We had a wonderful experience but it's only after being in our house for a year that we can look back and see just what a monumental effort she shepherded us through.

Karen and Jim DeWitt | Lake Minnetonka, MN

Carlene is extremely knowledgeable and professional and really takes the time to get to know her clients and their preferences.

Carlene has great sources and works hard to provide options that are both unique and within budget. She has a laid-back style and no-pressure approach but is also adept at gently steering clients away from making design mistakes.

Carlene is a delight to work with, and I couldn’t be happier with all of the projects she has helped me complete.

Kristi Dodson | Vail, CO

Last year we purchased a new home in the Vail Valley and worked with her to decorate the interior. She assembled three different decorative themes in detailed proposals to explore our tastes to better understand what would best combine our preferences with the design and architecture of the house.

All three were outstanding, but what really stood out was Carlene’s attention to detail and interest in understanding what we liked. In addition to the themes developed for us, Carlene incorporated outside ideas we came up with on our own. As a result of this collaborative process, we got the best possible outcome combining Carlene’s exquisite taste with our personal preferences.

We absolutely love the vibe Carlene helped create in our home. Additionally, the execution of the design was outstanding. Decorating a home is not just a matter of picking colors and fabrics. The logistics of coordinating multiple vendors and service providers also requires diligence and attention to detail.

Again, Carlene shined here and made the process seamless and easy. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Carlene. We would highly recommend her to anybody considering working with a designer to create an outstanding interior for their home.

Nick and Tytti Scarsella | Vail, CO

Carlene quickly understood not only the style we were looking for but also the budget we wanted to work with. She always gave us 3-5 options within our budget, and my wife and I picked what we liked. In the end, our home is amazing.

It looks like it was designed with an unlimited budget, but it actually came in under budget. Carlene made designing our home easy, fun, and was a total pleasure to work with.
