Calista Interiors LLC

Calista and her team were super professional. Calista made time to get to know me, our household life style and understand the things that were important to consider and incorporate into the design project. Throughout the process I received great, valuable advice and guidance. Calista's broad experience was very beneficial and resulted with many improvements I would have never come up with myself.

I had some water damage in my kitchen from a small 15 year leak. I needed to replace the affected cabinet parts, sheetrock, flooring, and subflooring. Because the counter top was formica and would be damaged during removal, the contractor told me I should plan to replace it.

I hired Calista Munnell from Calista Interiors to help me quickly make smart and attractive choices for the counter top and flooring.

Initially I wanted to go with a marble called Rain Forest Green. Calista talked me out of it. She explained marble is too soft for the wear and tear experienced by most kitchen counter tops. Because I really wanted something attractive, durable, and low maintenance, Calista recommended granite. We walked through several places and looked at hundreds of slabs.

Of course I liked some of the more wild and crazy slabs. She pointed out the slabs with large patterns might not look as good with big holes cut out of them for the range and sink and it might be more difficult to attractively align the seams. All good points.

I plan to sell my house in a few years. So when I fell in love with a very intense slab of Ocean Red, Calista explained it would be a very polarizing choice. Some potential buyers would like the red, many others would not. It would be best to select a counter top that would appeal to a broader cross section of people. I thought about it and decided she was right.

We finally settled on a beautiful slab of Kosmos from Pental. It looks great with the existing cabinets.

Calista and I talked briefly about the back splash. I knew I didn’t want to run the Kosmos up the wall. A few days later Calista showed up with the perfect selection: a metallic glass and stone mosaic (Titanium) from Tierra Sol. It will perfectly tie the exiting cabinets together with the new counter top. Very exciting.

I knew I needed a new kitchen sink and faucet, but I didn’t want to spend a second looking through the hundreds of sinks and faucets available at Home Depot and Lowes. Calista quickly recommended a beautiful under mount stainless steel sink and matching faucet. Excellent.

Finally we shopped around for new flooring. The original flooring was solid maple and limited to just the kitchen, nook, front entry way, and guest bathroom. The carpet was 15 years old and starting to show its age in high traffic areas. Calista recommend ripping up the carpet and covering the entire downstairs with hardwood flooring. It’s strong, easy to care for, and will increase the resale of my home. I grew up in the South in an old house with hardwood floors. It didn’t take much to convince me to replace the dingy carpet with beautiful solid wood floors.

I’m very thankful for Calista’s time and insights. She was the perfect partner for me. Now my home is more beautiful than ever. More...

Calista assisted with the design and materials for our bathroom remodel. Her eye helped us transform an out-dated, cramped 50's style bathroom into a modern oasis with an earthly, spacious feel despite no change in floor plan. This is a direct result of recommendations on colors and materials, specifically the slate tiles and bamboo flooring. She was extremely resourceful when it came to options and gave us the time and tours to help us make the right decisions for our home. She's an amazing design consultant, both in skill and personality! More...

As a home builder I’ve been fortunate to work with Calista on multiple projects encompassing various design requirements, scopes and styles. Calista has been instrumental in the development of our spec homes as she listens intently and interprets our goals and ideas into designs that consistently exceed our expectations. Calista is cognizant of our spec projects fluctuating budgets and continually works to provide creative designs that meet this important need. She additionally has been influential in our custom home business as she has exceptional rapport with clients, architects, real estate agents and subcontractors. Calista provides guidance to our custom home clients who frequently can’t articulate their ideas.
Because of her sense of style, ability, understanding, character and professionalism I highly recommend Calista. More...

We used Calista Interiors for both our 4100 square foot vacation rental house (Grand Fir Lodge in Suncadia) and our Seattle residence. The job for our Suncadia house involved selecting, purchasing and installing ALL the furnishings including furniture, beds (15 of them), pictures, and decorations. We believe we received very good value for what we paid and our rental guests greatly enjoy the way the house is setup and decorated. I highly recommend Calista Interiors for help in doing this kind of work. The style of the house in Suncadia is a large wood, lodge style. Calista Interiors also helped us with wall colors, furniture, 3 bathroom and a kitchen remodel at our Seattle residence that is a 1932 brick tutor. We are very happy that that job also and again, highly recommend Calista Interiors for that type of work. More...

Calista is a wonderful talent. She combines great design skill with business acumen, which I've found to be a rare blend in the world of designers. I've not only hired Calista to create exterior color schemes for new homes, but also to merchandise model homes and sales offices. I've developed so much confidence in Calista, that my wife and I hired her to create the specifications for our own home remodel project. We're fans! More...
