I would recommend Gina to anyone in Colorado Springs who is building or redecorating.

"When I was getting ready to build a house, I mentioned to a work colleague that I might ask Gina to help me pick colors for the walls once the house was built.   The colleague said, no, you need Gina right now - and he was right.   Gina was invaluable during the building process.   She made sure that I was ready with everything that had to be chosen before the builders needed it.  

The builders would usually wait until a Friday to mention, that they would need to know by Monday what my choices were for what they would build next - for example counter surfaces or tile or a part of the house like glue lams that I'd never heard of before.   None of this was a problem because Gina had already consulted with me, found the best sources, and helped me pick out the perfect materials.   She also helped me make sure that the rooms were the correct size and could function the way I wanted.   When it finally came time for the colors, she had already helped me pick colors that blend perfectly with the art and furnishing that I brought to the home.  

Gina was with me every step of the way.   I could not have done it and continued to do my job without her.   Even if I had not been working, she would have been invaluable because she kept me from making countless expensive mistakes.   Today I enjoy living in a functional, pleasing home because of Gina's help.   She helped me accomplish my goals.   I would recommend her to anyone who is building or redecorating."

Among Gina’s many talents is an ability to get a feel for her clients’ taste and not impose her own taste on the project.

"We have worked with Gina for over ten years.  She has been our designer for two offices as well as a number of projects in our home. 

What we love about working with Gina is her ability to suggest things we would never think of.   She was able to help us select artwork and accent pieces at very reasonable prices that are just what we needed to complete the look we were trying to achieve. Among Gina’s many talents is an ability to get a feel for her clients’ taste and not impose her own taste on the project.  She makes clear, confident recommendations and gives excellent guidance, yet she is not attached to the final decision and does not override her clients’ choices.

When we were redoing our kitchen and bathrooms, Gina came with us to choose tile and actually walked around the granite yard to help find the perfect pieces for our countertops.  She coordinated all the subcontractors and took the worry out of making sure the various pieces came together at the right time and that each job was done properly.

Not only is Gina able to make good recommendations for finish-out, but she also excels at looking at a space and seeing whether it will meet the intended purpose.  Her expertise in this regard was invaluable during the time we were looking for new office space last year.  She could walk into a space and quickly point out the pros and cons to help us make decisions.  The space we finally chose required some pretty extensive build-out and Gina’s suggestions saved us from making big mistakes—things like moving doorways, adjusting counter and cabinet heights, locating electrical outlets, and a host of other issues that made a huge difference in our everyday enjoyment of the space once we moved in."

Gina is highly knowledgeable in her field, totally professional, honest, reliable, and a joy to work with.

"I have known Gina Olsson for eleven years.  My wife and I had her advise us regarding upgrading the décor of the living room and dining room of our 1919 residence.  We have been totally satisfied with her recommendations, her choice of contractors, and the execution of the work. As a commercial property manager I have also benefited from her consultations regarding the interior design of my Colorado Springs office, selection of furniture for a medical office building hallway, and the extensive redecorating of another medical office building’s common areas.  This included selection and installation of wall prints, repainting the walls, installing new exterior trash receptacles, new ceiling tiles, also new paneling and lighting in the elevator. Gina is highly knowledgeable in her field, totally professional, honest, reliable, and a joy to work with."

We highly recommend Gina Lane-Olsson as a creative partner in interior design projects of any scope and budget.

"We have worked with Gina Lane-Olsson twice in the last five years -- first on a master bedroom suite remodel and then on a kitchen-dining room-living room remodel.  In both cases we were delighted that Gina listened to our ideas and managed to shape those ideas into realities that were far superior than we had imagined. Gina has a wonderful sense of color -- everyone who comes to our house comments on the colors she has chosen.  We opted for warm, peaceful environments -- Gina brought us the wood tones, paint, tile, granite, travertine, lighting, carpet, and décor that reflect that vision. 

She respected our budget restraints and still managed to bring flair and fine quality to our projects.  Gina works with excellent craftspeople, from faux paint to carpentry, who assured that our projects were completed timely and cost effectively.  She also worked very well with our kitchen interior designer to assure that the work space is not only efficient, but also comfortable and beautiful. We love our Colorado Springs home and we are very grateful for the interior design expertise that Gina provided to us during its renovation.  We highly recommend Gina Lane-Olsson as a creative partner in interior design projects of any scope and budget."

Gina provided superb advice on everything from construction interior design, materials selection, furniture layout to room decoration.

We first hired Gina in 2006 to help us with a kitchen and family room remodel project in our old home. We selected Gina after interviewing and researching many Colorado Springs interior designers. Gina stood out from her peers based upon her talent and recommendations from very happy clients.  Gina provided superb advice on everything from construction design, materials selection, furniture layout to room decoration. Most notable was Gina’s calm and patient ability to guide us through the many design decisions associated with a major remodeling effort.

We were so pleased with Gina’s work we immediately hired her to help us with our new home construction.   Gina cheerfully embraced the daunting task of guiding us through all the selections and decisions necessary to design and decorate a custom home. Her patience, talent and perseverance enabled us to address hundreds of details without ending our marriage in death or divorce! Her efforts to quickly solidify our home interior design and materials selection allowed our builder to execute his construction so efficiently our home was completed ahead of schedule and under cost!

Once our home construction was completed, Gina continued to help us with window treatments, fabric selection, and furniture layout and purchase. Gina’s talent and hard work helped us create a wonderful living environment in our new home.
