I can't recommend this place enough. Lara and her team are motivated, enthusiastic, and have an incredible eye. Great communication and follow through. Look no further for a designer.

I am going to make a long story short about how I found Lara Anderson, and after dragging my heels for years wanting to remodel my kitchen, and DESTROY my master bath, I finally pulled the trigger. I have ABSOLUTELY no dcor genes, so it was a blank canvas. My fear was I'd end up with someone else's vision, but Lara took me under her wing. She quickly zeroed into my likes/dislikes, so it became fun and not at all intimidating. I now have the bathroom of my dreams, and a kitchen I am still amazed is actually mine, and with Lara's help, reflect our lifestyle.We also did her 'one day house refresh

Lara was amazing! I was so stressed with downsizing homes. Lara was able to incorporate my treasures with pieces she brought over. My home is now cozy and comfortable. The colors she chose to paint the rooms with are ones I wouldn't have chosen on my own, and they turned out beautifully! I gave Lara the freedom to just move things around, and she did just that:) I would recommend Red Door Interiors in a heart beat!!!! Candy

One of my favorite stores in Olympia! They have such an eye for style. Every time I feel like I walked into a store of all the beautiful pinterest projects I've been to lazy to create. They are incredible at taking an older item and breathing a new life into it. I continue to get compliments on two sets of chairs I got there. Very reasonably priced as well.

This is a charming decorating store in downtown Olympia. They have all sort of interior decorating items at reasonable prices. The owner walks around to help you with anything ideas you are trying to build on. I think this is a good starting place if you wish to redecorate your home.

Super cute store, as mentioned in another review it is used or repurposed items at great prices. I love that the things I buy here are one of a kind and I most likely will never see them in someone else's house :). If you add them on Facebook, they put up pictures once a week of new items so you can browse before going there. As of this review, they close onTuesdays. Also, parking is available right outside the store but make sure to pay the meter fee!
