Has consistently demonstrated great results over several years on projects from complete interior refurb to niche smaller new look desires. Monica is wonderful at listening to our ideas and then visualizing and creating actual concepts and products to meet our needs. Has networks of skilled vendors to put it all together with results that exceed expectations. Timely follow-up and always advocates for the client.

My home that I just bought needed a lot of updating! Monica, with Casafina Interior Design, suggested everything from paint palettes to upholstery cloth! Love the way my kitchen, bathrooms, and living room spaces turned out! I could never have imagined my home to look and feel so good!

It was a pleasure to work with Monica. Prior to working with Monica, we interviewed three other designers When we first met her, we "clicked". My husband and I have no design sense but wanted to make our house's interior design much more elegant than we have done in the past. We were also a challenge in that we have no clue as to what we wanted, liked or examples of inspiration. Monica was patient with us and came up with great ideas to turn our remodel into a warm and inviting space. We are looking to doing more work with Monica in the future!

I cannot recommend Monica Olson and her Interior Design services highly enough--there simply arent words! In December of 2018, as a reaction to yet another water leak and whole house re-pipe, my husband and I made the decision to begin a major remodel of our home
including the kitchen, 2 bathrooms, family room built-in/fireplace, downstairs floors, staircase and upstairs hall. Feeling overwhelmed due to urgency and size of the project, I knew I needed an interior designer to help me prioritize projects and offer wisdom and guidance in making cohesive design/style choices. I met Monica through

Monica helped to design our kitchen remodel. As our space was oddly shaped the project presented certain challenges as we changed the layout Monica was able to develop a dsign which addresses our needs giving us both functionality and an updated look. She worked very well with us. She took time to understand our needs, budget and personal style. She worked well with our contractor. We could not have had a successful conclusion to our project without her help. We moved from dismal 1980 style to a more sleek and user friendly space.
