Megan Nordin Designs

Megan Nordin of Megan Nordin Designs is reliable, patient, understanding, thoughtful and creative. She really listens to what you are going for and then creates it. You would be amazed how she can use what you have to make your place look completely new. I was looking for someone who would be ok with me not knowing exactly what I wanted. She just gently helped me figure that out. AND she is into buy things used which is totally up my ally. Saving the earth with recycling furniture why still looking slick.
If you are unsure of how to make your abode as fabulous as you are, hire Megan. Highly highly recommended.

When I first met Megan, the owner of MN Designs, I didn’t know what I was in for. I knew that she did great work for my friend and that I needed some help designing my place, but I had no idea the transformation my place was about to go under — all in the best possible way.
Megan has incredible taste and is able to create a vision for a space that is uniquely your own. She worked closely with me to understand what I liked/didn’t like and what pieces I wanted to keep, and at the same time, challenged me every step of the way to think differently, get out of my comfort zone, and try something new.
But what makes her different from other designers? Megan doesn’t stick with a formula for design — she likes to create spaces that are unique and a blend of different styles. She mixes old with new; high with low; modern with traditional. Megan is resourceful — she doesn’t believe in paying exorbitant prices for good design, and she scours craigslist, flea markets, thrift stores, and the like to find you great, unique pieces. Megan is inventive and creative — she knows how to turn a $ 5 lamp into one that looks like it costs $ 300 (and she can even rewire it herself!).
Most of all, Megan is committed to the highest level of customer service at all times. I was a reluctant client at every turn in the process because this level of change and commitment was new for me. She wouldn’t get frustrated with me and, instead, patiently worked through my concerns with me. She was extremely conscientious about helping me manage my budget and always made sure we were aligned on what was worth spending money on and what wasn’t. And she even managed the work of my painter and contractor when we unexpectedly took on some bigger tasks (like my bathroom redesign).
Let me tell you about the bathroom redesign. I had a hideous bathroom with a green sink, green toilet and linoleum on the walls. At the salvage yard, Megan found a great porcelain sink ($ 20), antique faucet ($ 25) and a white porcelain toilet ($ 25). Megan managed the project and had the contractor take down the linoleum on the walls and replace it with bead board that we painted white. It looks like we completely remodeled the bathroom for a mere fraction of the cost. This is just a fraction of what Megan can do, but it’s a great example of her talents and commitment.
I wholeheartedly recommend Megan to anyone who is considering redecorating his/​her space. She has a great eye, vision for what the space can be, and the ability to deliver on that vision. Megan helped me create a home that I love, not just one I live in. I am proud of my home as I’ve never been before and love to invite people over to show off my digs.

I hired Megan to design my apartment and was in total disbelief when she told me that she could completely design the space with 100% used, reclaimed and refurbished items. Well, she did it and it looks amazing. I highly recommend Megan to anyone who wants to have a truly uniquely designed home or apartment.
