Judi Olson
Interior Designer
Luxury Home
Judi Olson worked with the homeowners to furnish this beautiful Medina Dream Home built by Schrader and Companies. The home was featured in the metro Luxury Home Tour and showcased not only the overall construction but the furniture and design details as well. The family requested that Azure Blue, a favorite color, be carried throughout the main floor living spaces as well as some of the private spaces too.
About the result:
The Piano Room was designed to be a serene place for the family’s two daughters to practice on their prized baby grand and play for family and friends at special gatherings. The space is flooded with natural light and captures the essence of a Victorian home through bold rich colors in the upholstery, accessories, wallcovering and the scraped walnut floor.
"I believe that being a good listener is the key to a successful designer/client relationship that results in rooms that my clients are excited about."
Interior design is a journey and Judi values the personal relationships that develop through this process.
During her 16-year career as a Fashion Clothing, Giftware & Holiday buyer, Judi chose colors, designed floor plans and selected merchandise for various clothing and gift stores. This experience set the stage for a smooth transition into the home furnishings industry. Judi then started her own business, Redesign for Homes, providing custom design services before joining the Gabberts team in 2003. Judi believes the most magical part of the design process is seeing the vision for a space created on paper transformed into a finished, livable room or home.
Judi enjoys skiing, spending family time at her cottage and creating floral arrangements for weddings. Her creativity, knowledge and Interior Design & Fashion Merchandising background gives her the ability to make her clients’ design dreams come to life.
Praise
I have had the pleasure of working with Judi Olson for close to 10 years on two homes. My husband and I love working with Judi on our furnishings and completely trust her judgement. Because of her taste and talent in selecting furniture, carpet, accessories and wall-color, our home has an elegant and comfortable feel. Judi is also very easy to work with and she makes the interior design process fun and enjoyable. She has an amazing attention to detail and also remembers past purchases so that new items always fit in seamlessly. Because of Judi and the service provided by Gabberts, we come to Minneapolis for our furnishings even though we live in Chicago. I give Judi my highest recommendation!
