starting fresh

We were in the market for an interior designer to help us design multiple rooms and spaces in our new house. We had sold our previous house with all the indoor and outdoor furniture, so we were starting fresh at our new house and needed help to create a cohesive and appealing design. Tanna by Design to the rescue! Tanna worked with us to design and furnish our outdoor space, dining room, living room, entryway, and kitchen nook. After contacting Tanna and describing our needs, she met and communicated with us multiple times to plan the design and get our feedback. She provided regular updates on shipping and worked with our schedule to arrange for delivery and set-up days. The final product was beyond amazing!!! We are in love with all the spaces that Tanna designed and we are so excited to show them off and entertain friends and family. Tanna created beautiful and functional spaces and made our house a home. We would definitely work with Tanna and her team again!

virtual design

We're doing a new construction in NY and we contacted Tanna for her "a la carte" services to help us with the random things we needed guidance on and for her general experience in homes and design that we lacked. She is not only incredibly responsive to our emails/questions, but she delivers on everything we expect and more. She has helped us TREMENDOUSLY with planning out our forever home and she has likely already saved us from making mistakes that would cost us lots of money down the road. We plan to use her for more steps in the construction planning process and eventually the interior design as well. Thanks, Tanna, for all you do for us!

confident about my project

I won a contest with TBD and was fortunate enough to have a one hour consultation with Tanna. She was fabulous! Tanna was professional and kind, and we instantly clicked! We got a lot accomplished in one hour together. I was able to pick her brain and she offered me some great suggestions. I left my consultation feeling confident about my upcoming project. Highly recommend!!

implemented our ideas

Tanna did an amazing job on our kitchen and living area remodel! We did a complete makeover of a large part of our house and Tanna’s ideas about how to reconstruct the space were amazing. We completely opened up our rooms and it’s now so much better for entertaining. Her ideas were innovative and very helpful. She listened to and implemented some of our ideas but we would not have the kitchen and living area we do now without her help and expertise. She did everything from designing the space to helping to pick our grout colors.  I highly recommend Tanna to anyone considering a remodel.

Cathy L. - Yakima, WA
I learned a lot

Tanna transformed our bedroom into a retreat. She provided her expertise, creative flair, and talent to transform our space while always listening to our ideas, needs, and input. Tanna is organized and always reliable. I learned a lot, had fun working with her, and would highly recommend TBD!

stunning results

Tanna is amazing! She expertly compiled decor that has enhanced our living and dining rooms, as well as the entry of our home. Our most recent project included the selection of pieces for a master bedroom and bathroom remodel. Tanna presented a variety of beautiful options, and the result is stunning. The first phase of this project was especially fun as Tanna worked with my husband to pull together a bedding ensemble that became a special surprise Christmas gift. Each item was whimsically wrapped and included a written note describing its place in the design. What a sweet and meaningful touch—and so like Tanna! It was truly enjoyable to add artwork, lamps, a rug, bench, and other elements to complete the look. We could not be happier with our new space and wholeheartedly recommend Tanna by Design.

Jennifer W. - Yakima, WA
attention to detail

Our commercial lobby needed an update and we were referred to TANNA BY DESIGN from other businesses in the valley. Our customers are rough on our waiting room furniture so we needed new pieces that would last. Tanna’s reputation was spot on. She carefully listened, has impeccable attention to detail and provided us with exactly what we wanted. We now have a waiting area that is extremely durable and looks great too. We now refer her name to every one that compliments us on our new space.

exactly what I wanted

I loved working with Tanna for my fireplace update. She understood my style and was able to find exactly what I wanted (which was sparkly and beautiful!). She is easy to get in touch with and works to understand what you want as a client. I highly recommend working with Tanna if you need help designing the room of your dreams!

Yami L. - Yakima, WA
went above and beyond

I reached out to Tanna for a consultation after purchasing my first home. She was responsive and professional and made excellent use of our brief time together. She went above and beyond by having contractors come out to provide bids and being there when the contractors arrived so she could help explain her vision for the projects. Tanna is willing to do as much or as little as you are comfortable with. I feel like I got excellent service at a great value and highly recommend Tanna by Design.

Justin B. - Yakima, WA
so fun to work with

Tanna has been a true joy to work with. She's creative, energetic and her love of design is inspiring. Tanna has been so flexible in working within our budget. I was very overwhelmed by moving and things just didn't feel like home. She's so fun to work with, it's like having a girlfriend over for coffee, only when she leaves my new house actually feels like my home. I'm so grateful to her.

Lisa W. - Yakima, WA
abundance of knowledge

I am writing this letter of recommendation about Tanna who operates TANNA BY DESIGN. We started working with Tanna late last year. She brought us some new designs and a lot of things to think about in remodeling several rooms of our home. She is pleasant to work with and very creative about her work. Tanna is the type of person that will not force her ideas upon you. We really appreciate that! She has a keen sense of decorating and how things need to be placed. She caused us to think a lot about the decorating of our home. I would recommend Tanna to anyone who is decorating their home, either new or old. I’d like to point out that she will always return your phone calls, texts and emails. She is right on top of things. As well as she has an abundance of knowledge of great craftsman particularly in our area.

Tony & Brenda V. - Sunnyside, WA
received rave reviews

I first saw Tanna's work on a tour of homes and was impressed. When I needed help redoing my family room and dining room I knew exactly who's help I wanted. We worked together picking wall color, furniture fabrics and window coverings. She made suggestions on different color combinations that I would never have tried and the results are fabulous. I have received rave reviews from friends and family. Working with Tanna was a joy. She was always cheerful,very prompt,and followed up on every detail. When I do my next project I will definitely work with Tanna.

Laurie M.- Yakima, WA
very responsive

Tanna was Amazing! She helped me complete our wallpaper design in our bedroom. She brought over 30+ samples to view and spent a hour and half helping me pick which ones we liked. Tanna was very responsive with emails and any other questions I had at the time. I would love to work with her again!

Jena B. - Yakima, WA
beyond expectations

Dream Home Creator! Tanna did a stunning job in redesigning, decorating as well as staging my home in preparation for listing the house for sale. Her recommended edits of furniture pieces and hands on rearrangement of my current furniture is amazing and brought my rooms up to date, they are now so "fresh." Tanna provided exactly the services I asked of her and she went beyond what I expected. I loved working with such a talent.

Mary Z. - Yakima, WA
extremely easy

Working with Tanna made the process of remodeling our home extremely easy. The way she organized the process was helpful to reduce stress and made decision making so easy. She has a gift of visual clarity that I didn't have. I depended on her for 90% of the purchases and design elements, thus allowing me not to worry I didn't make the right decision. She was there all along the 6 month process. Getting cabinets ordered, flooring, countertops, tile etc. picked out and ordered made the project go smoothly. There wasn't an issue with any of the vendors we used. Highly recommend her to anyone. You will not be disappointed.

Jana A. - Yakima, WA
love our new kitchen

We were updating our kitchen and wanting some help with layout and lighting options.  I had seen Tanna By Design while looking at ideas and loved what I saw, plus she was local in Yakima.  We are very strong in our ideas and what we like and don't like, and Tanna respected that and how much input we wanted to have.  She offered ideas that went along the lines of our likes and then let us run with where that took all of us in our final choices!

Dawn C. - Yakima, WA
helpful in designing

Tanna By Design was so helpful in designing the layout for my kitchen!  I loved working with Tanna and she was very responsive to questions I had.

Cindy H. - Enumclaw, WA
tanna does it all

In November of 2023 we bought a 20 plus year old house in Anthem Country Club that needed a whole house remodel...meaning new floors, knocking out walls, redoing the kitchen, etc. By way of background, my wife and I are not rookies when it comes to projects like this, we have done many whole house remodels gutting houses down to the studs in some cases as well as buying land and building from scratch.In our past projects we have been fortunate to find great contractors who worked with skilled designers and then finally interior designers to assist with furniture layout, etc. Tanna does all of these things. She is by far and away the most skilled , talented person we have ever worked with...she quickly "got us." Without Tanna, our house would have turned out OK....with Tanna our house is going to be amazing. These types of projects are expensive, making a mistake is very costly, Tanna will keep you from making mistakes. Whatever her fees are its worth every penny to make sure your investment turns out right.

Ken B. - Anthem, AZ
easy to reach

Tanna did a great job designing my game room and bar. She had a lot of ideas on bar design, fireplace layout, lighting, colors and accessories. Tanna always responded to my questions in a timely manner and was always easy to get a hold of. She has a great sense of textures/colors and how they will combine to to get the result that a person wants. I would highly recommend Tanna for your interior design work and will use her again in the future!

Mark Y. - Yakima, WA
professionalism and dedication

I recently had the opportunity to work with Tanna on a remodel project of interior and exterior spaces. I was very impressed by her impeccable ability to blend functionality with style. Her approach to design is holistic, considering not just the visual aspects but also the flow and feel of spaces, ensuring they are not only beautiful but also practical and livable. Tanna's portfolio showcases a diverse range of styles, from sleek and modern to warm and eclectic, highlighting her versatility and creativity. Moreover, her professionalism and dedication to client satisfaction make the design process smooth and enjoyable. Whether you're looking to refresh a single room or undertake a comprehensive home renovation, Tanna's expertise and vision can bring your ideas to life. I would highly recommend Tanna by Design for your interior or exterior design needs!

James C. - Anthem, AZ
creative & efficient

I reached out to Tanna by Design for an interior design business coaching consultation. As a fellow member of IDS, and a professional, she helped me focus on the issues I needed to address in my own interior design business, creatively and efficiently. She came prepared to gave me a list of things to target and tips on how to effectively accomplish them. She is a great listener. I appreciate her advice and willingness to help me grow my business!

caters to today's lifestyle

I recently engaged Tanna to redesign a floorplan and select finishes in a choppy and outdated 1950's northwest contemporary speculative rehab. The existing floorplan presented fundamental challenges that needed to be incorporated into the final design. The resulting product that she inspired caters to today's lifestyle with a much more modern feel. I was impressed with Tanna's ability to work within the budget set forth and her willingness to take on the challenge with a smile.

Erik E. - Lake Forest Pk, WA BEACHWORKS
great knack of listening

First Rate Job on our Rambler REDO!! We moved into a dated, segmented rambler and Tanna brought it to life. She has a great knack of listening to our desires, balancing them with realities of budget/time constraints and coming up with alternatives that worked better than our original ideas! I feel like our home is true reflection of us.

Lori M. - Snohomish, WA
nailed the look

Tanna is an absolute joy to work with! She listened to my ideas, took our existing look, and transformed our home into a warm and inviting space. I'm so happy I contacted her to help with our interior paint colors. What an expensive mistake that would have been if I had done it myself! She nailed the look I was going for and created a seamless look throughout our home. I won't hesitate to contact her in the future for all of our design needs.

Sarah C. - Yakima, WA
responsive to requests

Tanna is fantastic! She honed in on what would really make our basement the kind of liveable, comfortable space we wanted it transformed into and gave us a plan that we could implement at our own pace. She didn't just draw up plans and disappear...she was responsive to our requests for input and suggestions the entire time that we slowly chipped away at the transformation and was as enthusiastic about helping us as she was at the beginning. Tanna is great--highly recommended, and we hope to use her again. Thanks Tanna!

Lara H. - Pasco, WA
educated professional

Tanna is an amazing designer and helped me with a Master Bed/ Bath and a Formal Living Room. She first gave me a designed drawing of what the spaces could look like, and then we went from there. Tanna doesn’t just bring a gift of design, but is a well educated professional in the area of design/decorating. She allows you to give your ideas and how much you would like to spend, and works with those.  She makes suggestions of what she thinks would work best, and I appreciated that so much. I would have put the wrong color of paint on my walls, and would have been redoing them later if Tanna hadn’t made another suggestion. Loved working with her, and would use her talents again. I do have a few more rooms to redo. I love my new rooms, and only have a few more things to add, and she has patiently waited on me and my busy schedule. Thank you Tanna!

Susie E. - Yakima, WA

wonderful to work with

I have had the pleasure of knowing Tanna for several years. She is a pleasure to work with no matter the task. She is an extremely positive individual and you can count on her to give 110% to her commitments. Tanna helped make our house feel like home with her designs. She was and continues to be wonderful to work with. I highly recommend using her.


Jennifer P. - Selah, WA
generosity and talent

I am a strategic vendor partner of Tanna's. In my work I see and work with 1000's of designers. Tanna has always stood out. She has a rare ability to combine vision with action. Every business goes through stages and many get stuck in one stage. Tanna recognized this in her own business and was able to completely transform and reinvigorate it. But perhaps even more impressive is her generosity and talent for leading other designers to make the same change in theirs.

Stacy McKenna - STRATEGIC BUSINESS PARTNER
brings new ideas

Tanna was so fun to work with. She helped us with our entry, living room and dining room. I needed my style to mesh with the functionality of child and pet friendly materials. Everyone always comments on how they can't imagine having kids in our space so I'd say she definitely hit the mark! She's responsive, brings new ideas to the table and actually listens to what you want to make your space a reflection of you. I've recommended Tanna to several friends and will continue to do so.

Crystal A. - Yakima, WA
listens to you

Tanna does an amazing job! She listens to what you want and puts the pieces of the puzzle together. I would highly recommend using her for your remodel, new build and design needs.

Lanette H. - Yakima, WA
good at what she does

Working With What You Have! My wife and I recently moved into a new home and hired Tanna to help us put the finishing touches on items and a layout that would bring it all together. Now, I'm an opinionated husband when it comes to furniture, textures, and layout. So, what I anticipated was Tanna suggesting we spend a few dollars on items that would finish off each room. What I didn't anticipate was moving existing furniture into new positions that might make the flow of the room better. I admit, I was not initially excited about the changes she was proposing, but as I was pushed out of my comfort zone on where furniture should be, I soon discovered why Tanna is so good at what she does. Tanna had a better eye for where things should be. For us, it wasn't as much about finding new items as it was taking the items we had and placing them in better positions. Thank you Tanna

Geoff & Amy K. - Yakima, WA
clean, fresh, & open

Tanna is a wonderful energetic person! I’ve had the pleasure of working with her a few different times. Her work is clean, fresh, and open...I love it! I highly recommend her for your next project.

Understoo My Taste

I Hired Tanna Based On Her Work Represented In The Snohomish (Now Called North End Metro) Magazine. I Needed Inspiration For My Master Bathroom Remodel And Knew That Tanna Would Be The Designer Who Could Understand My Personal Taste. I Had A General Idea Of What I Wanted And Tanna Was Able To Assist Where I Could Not Visualize. The Critical Piece Was Her Assistance With Hiring The Right Contractor For This Specific Job. Tanna Was Instrumental With The Overall Design, Color Palette, Specific Stone Materials To Use, And Keeping The Communication Open Throughout The Remodel Process. Beyond Tanna's Professional Expertise She Is A Pleasure To Work With And Will "Flow" With Your Personal Idiosyncrasies So That The End Result Is Beautiful And Exceeds Your Expectations. She Comes Highly Recommended And I Rate Her All "5'S" In Each Category.

Shane M. - Snohomish, WA
honesty & integrity

It is hard for me to adequately put into words how thrilled I am about Tanna's most recent project. My mother has lived in the same small home for 45 years and as you could imagine it was long overdue (by a couple decades) for some updating.  At age 70 and recently widowed my mom decided to do an entire home makeover. It was a giant task filled with a lifetime of memories and emotion. The before and after photos speak for themselves and are nothing short of miraculous.  With Tanna's knowledge, expertise and creativity she put a team of trusted, highly-skilled professionals together that took on this task with care, compassion and dependability.  Mom trusted Tanna and her team so much that she moved out of the home entirely before demo and didn't return until it was complete and ready for a TV show style grand reveal celebration. The results were/are breathtaking, but the true gift is in Tanna's honesty, integrity and professionalism. There is no one I would trust more with my childhood home and my mother's budget than Tanna Edler.  *As an added bonus she's just a hoot to be around and brings so much great energy and joy to all those lucky enough to be around her.

Lisa W. - Yakima, WA
Helped DIYers

We are do-it-yourselfers but needed help to redesign our kitchen space. That's where Tanna came in. She showed us two different designs. This opened our eyes to possibilities we hadn't thought of before. We really enjoyed working with Tanna and thought her ideas were great. We plan on starting our project this winter.

Shannon L.- Yakima, WA
reliable & honest

Tanna has been awesome!!! She was able to put to life what I had always dreamed of! She is prompt, reliable, honest, CREATIVE, ARTISTIC, and nice all at the same time which is not always easy to find in a designer! I highly recommend her! We started with a small bathroom remodel, then moved to a second bathroom, and then to a full kitchen remodel. TANNA IS GREAT!!!!

Alefa E. - Snohomish, WA
hip and classy.

"A pleasure to work with, always!" We are furniture builders and we have had the sheer pleasure of working with Tanna. She is not only fun to work with, but extremely talented. She has come to us with a number of cool wood projects and we are always happy to see her come through the door because we love to see what ideas she has next. We built a couple of live edge pieces for her clients, as well as a beautiful table and bench set. Her vision is hip and classy. She has great communication, which makes it easy to collaborate with her. We really enjoy her enthusiasm for design, her keen eye, and her ability to work with all styles of design from modern to traditional. We recommend Tanna because she is a quality gal and she good at what she does!

Sue S. - Yakima, WA THE PINE SHOP
wonderful personality

Tanna was a huge help to us when we were stuck trying to figure out interior paint colors to pull everything together. It looks fantastic and now we are looking forward to her assistance with the decorating portion of our project. Her assistance was remarkable with putting us in touch with people from the different stores we needed to procure our materials from and worked hand in hand with us at the stores during that process. This alone saved us lots of time and frustration trying to convey our needs and sorting through the endless options. We very much appreciated her knowledge, the effort she put in and is a wonderful personality to work with!

Thom S. - Yakima, WA
outstanding designer

Tanna Edler is an outstanding designer.  She is incredibly professional and welcoming. From rendering to reality clients know they can trust her to get bring their design vision to life.

couldn't ask for more

I couldn't have asked for more!! Our living room, dining room, family room, etc. was done over 15 years ago and desperately needed an update. I didn't want to replace the furniture or curtains because they were still in really good condition. I also didn't want to spend a huge amount of money because we will probably be downsizing in the next few years. Tanna totally understood and worked with what I had. She rearranged the furniture, added a new rug, picked out new fabrics for pillows, added wallpaper to the back of the shelves, etc. The room looks totally new, funky and modern. Exactly what I was hoping to accomplish. My 20 something daughters are so jealous. They want it for their apartments/homes. I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. And, I didn't have to spend tons of money like the first time around. When we downsize in a few years, I will definitely call Tanna. She is incredibly talented and so much fun to work with!!

Julie D. - Seattle, WA
nailed the look

Tanna is an absolute joy to work with! She listened to my ideas, took our existing look, and transformed our home into a warm and inviting space. I'm so happy I contacted her to help with our interior paint colors. What an expensive mistake that would have been if I had done it myself! She nailed the look I was going for and created a seamless look throughout our home. I won't hesitate to contact her in the future for all of our design needs.

Sarah C. - Yakima, WA
knowing what will work

This is the second time I worked with Tanna and her team. After moving in to a new home, I was challenged with many new areas that needed her special touch, including living room built ins, office built ins, and our entry way. Tanna has a way of knowing what will work in any space and her skill at pulling it all together is spectacular. I could not be happier, or ever fully complete without her help. More projects to come! I watched Tanna’s work for a few years dreaming of someday working with a designer like her. One day I fired off an email and the results from that initial contact completely exceeded every expectation I imagined. I wanted something bold and dreamy for our master bedroom and Tanna took the time to review ideas and saw my vision from the moment we met. She carefully coordinated everything from meetings, materials, and timelines, right down to the final touches. I cannot say enough how excited I am to now have this gorgeous retreat in my home. This entire process has been fantastic. Thank you Tanna for helping create this with us!

beautiful taste

Tanna helped us with a new kitchen remodel and we absolutely love it and get compliments on it all the time. It is a new kitchen in a fifty year old summer cabin and it is modern, efficient and beautiful yet in keeping with the charm of the original structure.   When we needed help on reconstructing our basement, Tana was who I called immediately.  This was a very small job and Tana was gracious and jumped in to help me. She is a very talented designer, quick with excellent ideas and beautiful taste. She is also a lot of fun to work with.  I give her a 5 out of 5. She is tops.

good at her work

Tanna has helped us with two projects, one being a complete bathroom remodel, and now we are remodeling a small kitchen. With her expertise, we have made this kitchen come alive. White Quartz countertops, and a beautiful white sub tile for the back splash. We are almost finished and can’t wait to share pictures. Tanna is very good at her work, and will use her again.

looking for the best

If you're looking for the best! I was looking for someone to help me finish a household design project and a friend recommended Tanna ... So lucky that I found her! She was just the right person to help me! I needed someone to take charge and get things done and she does just that. She is a true artist at what she does and works non-stop to make sure that you are satisfied with all her work. Also, she is so fun and full of energy! Tanna has done a beautiful job on our home and I look forward to working with her on the next project! I will recommend her to all my friends ...

Susannah V. - Yakima, WA
Talented and fun

"Talented and fun to work with!" My husband and I are in the process of building a home. We gave our plans to Tanna and met with her a couple of weeks later. She had looked over our plans like they where her own. She came armed with samples and a ton of ideas. Tanna took one look at our kitchen and realized that the set up of the kitchen did not match our lifestyle. She helped us add more entry/exit points, rearrange the appliances and add some additional windows for more natural light. I love our kitchen now! She also helped us with our family room. We loved the size but there seemed to be so much wasted space. Tanna was able to help us with this as well. She is extremely creative, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her to anyone.

Tiffany E. - Yakima, WA
starting fresh

We were in the market for an interior designer to help us design multiple rooms and spaces in our new house. We had sold our previous house with all the indoor and outdoor furniture, so we were starting fresh at our new house and needed help to create a cohesive and appealing design. Tanna by Design to the rescue! Tanna worked with us to design and furnish our outdoor space, dining room, living room, entryway, and kitchen nook. After contacting Tanna and describing our needs, she met and communicated with us multiple times to plan the design and get our feedback. She provided regular updates on shipping and worked with our schedule to arrange for delivery and set-up days. The final product was beyond amazing!!! We are in love with all the spaces that Tanna designed and we are so excited to show them off and entertain friends and family. Tanna created beautiful and functional spaces and made our house a home. We would definitely work with Tanna and her team again!

worth her weight in gold

Worth her weight in gold! Wow! Tanna is a fantastic design professional. Couldn't be happier with our finished great room. Tanna listens to what her clients want and feel from a room. We wanted our "great room" to be comfy, cozy and beautiful. We got all three. She personally selected our live edge slab of maple, and had the perfect craftsman in mind to finish it. She did space planning, lighting, furnishing and decor. Won't do another room without her. Thank you Tanna.

Tish M. - Yakima, WA
real eye for design

As a flooring professional, it is a pure joy to work with Tanna on any of her projects.  She has great taste and a real eye for design and what the project will look like when it is completed. She is able to communicate these ideas to the customer in ways that the customer understands.Tanna is great about expressing what she wants to show her clients, allowing me to pull products that will fit in with the design ideas and be the right product for the client not just from a design perspective but products that will stand up to the daily needs of her client’s situation. I have greatly enjoyed working on a number of projects with Tanna and look forward to the next project we can team up on.

James F. - Yakima, WA GREAT FLOORS
pulls out the best

Awesome Designer! Tanna is a creative mind with tremendous design flair. Her work is fresh and trendy and she has the innate ability to pull out the best of you and your personality in her designs. I recommend her highly!

burden off my shoulders

I knew what I wanted to remodel but I was having trouble getting it off and running. Our contractor told use to go pick out flooring and tile, but it was overwhelming. I did not have the time to go back and forth with options. Tanna took the stress out of the project. She listened to my ideas and then suggested things I never would have thought of. She put together palette boards and made the project so easy. She is responsive to questions. She lined up the flooring, paint, tile and cabinet installers and worked very well with our contractor. She just took a lot of the burden of remodeling off of my shoulders. I would highly recommend her service and would use her again. You will not be disappointed.

You're the epitome of understanding that no matter how good you are doing something there's one little aha moment that unlocks a new level of awareness and strategy.

willingness to share

Tanna and I had such a fun and informative conversation. I felt so accomplished after our one hour of coaching. I love her energy and her willingness to share her process. I got exactly what I needed from her. She went out of her way to send me info after our call. I highly recommend Tanna!

quick to respond and helpful

I have been working with TANNA BY DESIGN, an Interior Design company in Yakima, WA for a little over a year now. She has been great to work with and has helped provide many remodel jobs for us at DRT HOMES, LLC. She is always quick to respond and so helpful with all the clients we come in contact with. I would highly recommend her for any of your interior design needs!

responsive to requests

Tanna is fantastic! She honed in on what would really make our basement the kind of liveable, comfortable space we wanted it transformed into and gave us a plan that we could implement at our own pace. She didn't just draw up plans and disappear...she was responsive to our requests for input and suggestions the entire time that we slowly chipped away at the transformation and was as enthusiastic about helping us as she was at the beginning. Tanna is great--highly recommended, and we hope to use her again. Thanks Tanna!

virtual design

We're doing a new construction in NY and we contacted Tanna for her "a la carte" services to help us with the random things we needed guidance on and for her general experience in homes and design that we lacked. She is not only incredibly responsive to our emails/questions, but she delivers on everything we expect and more. She has helped us TREMENDOUSLY with planning out our forever home and she has likely already saved us from making mistakes that would cost us lots of money down the road. We plan to use her for more steps in the construction planning process and eventually the interior design as well. Thanks, Tanna, for all you do for us!

knowing what will work

This is the second time I worked with Tanna and her team. After moving in to a new home, I was challenged with many new areas that needed her special touch, including living room built ins, office built ins, and our entry way. Tanna has a way of knowing what will work in any space and her skill at pulling it all together is spectacular. I could not be happier, or ever fully complete without her help. More projects to come! I watched Tanna’s work for a few years dreaming of someday working with a designer like her. One day I fired off an email and the results from that initial contact completely exceeded every expectation I imagined. I wanted something bold and dreamy for our master bedroom and Tanna took the time to review ideas and saw my vision from the moment we met. She carefully coordinated everything from meetings, materials, and timelines, right down to the final touches. I cannot say enough how excited I am to now have this gorgeous retreat in my home. This entire process has been fantastic. Thank you Tanna for helping create this with us!

reliable & honest

Tanna has been awesome!!! She was able to put to life what I had always dreamed of! She is prompt, reliable, honest, CREATIVE, ARTISTIC, and nice all at the same time which is not always easy to find in a designer! I highly recommend her! We started with a small bathroom remodel, then moved to a second bathroom, and then to a full kitchen remodel. TANNA IS GREAT!!!!

professionalism and dedication

I recently had the opportunity to work with Tanna on a remodel project of interior and exterior spaces. I was very impressed by her impeccable ability to blend functionality with style. Her approach to design is holistic, considering not just the visual aspects but also the flow and feel of spaces, ensuring they are not only beautiful but also practical and livable. Tanna's portfolio showcases a diverse range of styles, from sleek and modern to warm and eclectic, highlighting her versatility and creativity. Moreover, her professionalism and dedication to client satisfaction make the design process smooth and enjoyable. Whether you're looking to refresh a single room or undertake a comprehensive home renovation, Tanna's expertise and vision can bring your ideas to life. I would highly recommend Tanna by Design for your interior or exterior design needs!

what a transformation!

Tanna was amazing! We recently purchased a “new” (1940 with some remodeling over the years) home. We loved it but it still didn’t feel like ours. We didn’t have the time or the budget for a remodel. Tanna came over. We walked around the house as I told her what I was thinking. She came back with a paint swatch. I’ve just painted a few rooms but wow, what a transformation! I will definitely be calling her again.

extremely easy

Working with Tanna made the process of remodeling our home extremely easy. The way she organized the process was helpful to reduce stress and made decision making so easy. She has a gift of visual clarity that I didn't have. I depended on her for 90% of the purchases and design elements, thus allowing me not to worry I didn't make the right decision. She was there all along the 6 month process. Getting cabinets ordered, flooring, countertops, tile etc. picked out and ordered made the project go smoothly. There wasn't an issue with any of the vendors we used. Highly recommend her to anyone. You will not be disappointed.

got it spot on

Exactly What We Wanted We hired Tanna to update our space - we're an advertising and marketing agency. She took our input and integrated our existing brand image into the design she created for us. Everything was absolutely perfect - she got it spot on, and gave us creative options to help our brand match our space.

good at what she does

Working With What You Have! My wife and I recently moved into a new home and hired Tanna to help us put the finishing touches on items and a layout that would bring it all together. Now, I'm an opinionated husband when it comes to furniture, textures, and layout. So, what I anticipated was Tanna suggesting we spend a few dollars on items that would finish off each room. What I didn't anticipate was moving existing furniture into new positions that might make the flow of the room better. I admit, I was not initially excited about the changes she was proposing, but as I was pushed out of my comfort zone on where furniture should be, I soon discovered why Tanna is so good at what she does. Tanna had a better eye for where things should be. For us, it wasn't as much about finding new items as it was taking the items we had and placing them in better positions. Thank you Tanna

very unique talent

I had a truly enjoyable experience working with Tanna on our 2010 Tour Home that received an award for the Best Master Bedroom in our category. Tanna has a very inviting and unique talent in her design skills. The home was greeted with an uncountable number of ooohs and aaahs with the theme of design on this project. Furthermore, Tanna comes highly recommended.

extremely pleased

My husband and I hired Tanna to help us with our home remodel and we are so pleased. Working with Tanna was the best! We were overwhelmed and Tanna was with us from start to finish. She made the entire experience pleasant and we are extremely pleased with the results! She is a hard worker with an excellent eye for design. If we do another home project  Tanna will be the first person we’ll call. We highly recommend Tanna. You won’t be disappointed.

virtual interior design

I reached out to Tanna when I recently moved into a larger apartment and needed help furnishing and decorating it. I had a general idea for the look but needed help finding things that would fit and were within budget. The whole process was super easy and convenient. Tanna helped me hone my ideas and find actual pieces to fill my home and presented me with layout ideas that I would have never considered on my own. She really took into consideration everything that I was looking for and gave me personalized attention which I really appreciated --I've had friends who have done other virtual interior decorator services that they weren't happy with because it wasn't personalized to them and was just a bit blah overall--and this was the opposite. I'm really happy with the stuff she came up with and am excited to finally get my place furnished and feeling like home. Thank you Tanna for your help!

wonderful personality

Tanna was a huge help to us when we were stuck trying to figure out interior paint colors to pull everything together. It looks fantastic and now we are looking forward to her assistance with the decorating portion of our project. Her assistance was remarkable with putting us in touch with people from the different stores we needed to procure our materials from and worked hand in hand with us at the stores during that process. This alone saved us lots of time and frustration trying to convey our needs and sorting through the endless options. We very much appreciated her knowledge, the effort she put in and is a wonderful personality to work with!

read my thoughts

Tanna was a joy to work with and had so many wonderful ideas. I wanted to create a romantic warm setting for our master bedroom and the final product was right on the mark! From the crystal chandelier to the satin curtains to the beautiful fluffy white area rug.....everything was perfect! It was as if she was right inside my head reading my design thoughts then made them come to life. She also helped by putting us in contact with contractors who were very reliable and did fantastic jobs in our home. I am very much looking forward to working with Tanna again on our next project and highly recommend her service!

wonderful to work with

I have had the pleasure of knowing Tanna for several years. She is a pleasure to work with no matter the task. She is an extremely positive individual and you can count on her to give 110% to her commitments. Tanna helped make our house feel like home with her designs. She was and continues to be wonderful to work with. I highly recommend using her.

highly recommend

Tanna designed our lobby for the new Adair Homes office in Union Gap, WA (www.adairhomes.com). Tanna provided great customer service beginning with her listening carefully to our needs and budget, then providing great ideas and seeing the project all the way through to completion. I highly recommend Tanna!

great knack of listening

First Rate Job on our Rambler REDO!! We moved into a dated, segmented rambler and Tanna brought it to life. She has a great knack of listening to our desires, balancing them with realities of budget/time constraints and coming up with alternatives that worked better than our original ideas! I feel like our home is true reflection of us.

confident about my project

I won a contest with TBD and was fortunate enough to have a one hour consultation with Tanna. She was fabulous! Tanna was professional and kind, and we instantly clicked! We got a lot accomplished in one hour together. I was able to pick her brain and she offered me some great suggestions. I left my consultation feeling confident about my upcoming project. Highly recommend!!

opened our minds

Designer Extraordinaire! TBD services from Tanna have opened our minds to a whole new world of comfy home decor. My partner and I recently moved into a very modern, newly built home (2009). The previous owner's style was stark and cool but not necessarily our taste. We contacted Tanna and her patient, informative and creative suggestions really helped us to land on a "Modern Woodsman" look which is perfect for our North Portland home. Tanna's attention to everything from the grand and bold to simple detail is quite marvelous. We look forward to each conversation that has us stepping out of our comfort zone (in a good way) considering fabrics and colors we would not necessarily choose for our home. Can't wait for the final reveal! Thanks TBD!
