About
Good design is simply about choices. Creating a layout that serves its purpose, selecting the right surfaces, and bringing it all together is fundamental. Great design goes one step further – it brings in all of those elements and has the wisdom to grow with you. In the past, people thought about one thing and one thing only when designing their home – the look. Just like in life, though, good looks aren’t everything! Remember Avocado Green shag carpeting and Harvest Gold appliances? Even worse than outdated colors, though, is a space that is cramped, inconvenient and impractical. How many times have you cursed your home’s builder after bumping your shin on the open dishwasher door? Our core belief is that your home can look fantastic and function smoothly – now and for years to come. If you’re looking for a design that will last, then you’ve come to the right place. Our services are ideal for the seasoned homeowner – you know what you want and you’re willing to do what it takes to finally have your home feel right. You’re not interested in discount depot quick fixes, IKEA sofas, or reality TV show type “weekend transformations”. You want a room design that is complete, intelligent and beautiful – a functional work of art. To get there, you need an interior designer you can trust to listen, provide resourceful feedback, and collaborate with you to create and complete the home you’ve been working towards. If you’re ready to remodel your existing home into your dream home, or you’re shopping around for a great space that will look great and adapt to your family and their changing needs, Marsha Thrift Designs is the design partner you’re looking for.
I’m Marsha Thrift, Marsha Thrift Designs’ principal designer, and I’m a certified Interior Designer and a space optimization specialist. I first began practicing the art of the thoughtful remodel in my time with the US Air Force – many moves meant many chances to improve upon a new home! I believe that there’s no greater design crime than wasted space, and I live for opportunities to help people just like you turn an okay house into a stunning and practical home. I live in Southeastern Wisconsin with my lovely hard-working husband, our two imaginative and music-loving daughters, and our beloved senior cat – he’s fourteen and can be a bit cantankerous, but like the rest of my philosophy, pets are family members for life! I look forward to meeting you and learning more about your specific design project!
