I contacted Shannon last year to ask her some design questions about our tired bedroom that needs a face lift. She agreed to have a video conference with me to jumpstart the plan. We chatted for a long time on the phone about what I was looking for and I was able to share the room via video to show her was I was working with. I have a pretty good eye but her knowledge is invaluable about layers and fabrics and all the multitude of details that tend to overwhelm me. The time spent was very helpful! It has definitely jump started ideas I would not have thought of and we will probably get on. Namely the curtains, wall covering and the built in and new light! She sent notes afterwards about our conversation with photos of pieces we chatted about. Now I just need to get off my duff and do it! Thank you Shannon!

I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my remodel, thanks to the skills and talents of Shannon Ggem at Studio Ggem! Her professionalism, knowledge, and guidance helped navigate me through many unknowns of the design and remodel world. Shannon helped me make important decisions and helped avoid many costly mistakes. Most importantly, my space feels uniquely my own, artistic yet comfortable, and a true showpiece. I would recommend Studio Ggem to anyone with a project big or small. Her results are truly amazing and she is a joy to work with.

Shannon has been working with us doing remote design on our 1830's farmstead and property for over a year and we could not be happier. She is easy to communicate with, has great ideas, easy implantation than we'd dreamed and a great vibe that comes across in all of our communication. Our kitchen was, frankly, a dump in a beautiful historical home and she made sure it was elegant, useful, and reflected us perfectly. We are loving working with Shannon and her team and can't wait for more.

Shannon has been masterful in designing the remodel our contemporary farmhouse and barn!. We have a challenging 4000 SF home and 600 SF barn on five acres which needed many updates, resolution for multiple uses and strict budget management. She not only developed creative, practical floor plans, Shannon also captured our home and lifestyle spirit. We are both busy professionals and we loved her professional approach to managing the design, schedule and budget. Anyone looking for a beautiful, practical solution, cannot go wrong working with Shannon.

It does not matter what I say about Shannon Ggem. My words cannot do her or her work justice. Her optimistic nature, passion, contagious joy and spot on design is breathtaking. Really. I was inspired by a color she used in a pool house on another project , but had nowhere use that color in my 1922 wood sided lakeside home ( sans pool house) --Until I decided that 17 years was long enough to delay my kitchen remodel. My kitchen is a galley, and to do anything but let it remain a galley would have required moving a wall, losing a bedroom or breaking every code in the book. I knew Shannon from a smaller but ambitious previous project she had done for me, transforming a blah room into a TRUE living space and had no hesitation in calling her about this kitchen, which I knew she could make at least livable and functional —but what I got instead is a masterpiece.
Starting with these words “I want to vault my ceiling and paint it turquoise-the rest is up to you”. Shannon found the exact right contractor for the job, and worked on every single detail, and I mean every single thing you can (or cannot) imagine. We shopped together for the fun stuff, for lighting and tile, paint and a faucet but, giving me choices at every turn, Shannon handled the rest right down to every last detail, And those details are hard work. Who thinks of the style and performance of hinges—hidden hinges?
I didn’t make this job easy either, by adding the living room, dining room and outdoor lighting into the mix. She never pushed me to part with the few things that I just could not let go of, instead, she incorporated them beautifully sometimes with just a tweak or two. In turn, I let her push me past my comfort zone in a few areas and she surprised me with things that I never, ever would have thought of myself but have fallen in love with. The most beautiful draperies I have ever seen came from Shannon’s incredible eye, incredible heart, her understanding my aesthetic…these chairs! Oh my!
”I get it”, she said, “you just want your living room to go Woosh”, demonstrating the feeling by waving her hand from the front of her face and over the top of her head. Perfect. And It does indeed woosh!
But back to the kitchen. That kitchen! My ‘might as well be husband” and I have i vookrf, btewed, played/laughed in it every day since its completion. The new Dutch door and added window casings bring the most beautiful light into what was the darkest room in the home. The new appliance “garage” featuring fold up doors, spacious cabinetry, deep drawers, along with hidden trash and recycling bins doubled the storage, even added more counter space, and changed my LIFE!! We start every day in that room and still marvel at what she accomplished. I MARVEL.
Just the other day, four of us stood in that kitchen having a conversation, impossibility before Shannon’s incredible passion and design turned that room, which HAD to remain the main entry to the house, into a showstopper. I used to bum-rush people through it to get to the good parts of the house it but now we linger in there. People have time to comment on my O’Keefe and Merritt stove and my collection of dishes and décor which range from our childhoods, our adventures, from places half way around the world, and from the Rite Aid up the street. Yes, Shannon finds a way.
The vaulted ceiling I asked for adds such incredible height which in turn makes what was a small cramped room feel so much larger, but when it was uncovered, we decided it was actually too big to host that turquoise paint I had longed for, yet Shannon found it a home for it on that beautiful Dutch door.
Due to the interesting history of the house and the stories we shared, she had a brain storm early on and asked if I would entertain using outside lighting inside. I would. We did, and I have never seen anything like it.
If you want something cookie cutter, you are out of luck, because Shannon Ggem will find the best parts of you and find a way to translate it into the things that will surround you and everyone you invite in to your now glorious and welcome home.
I look forward to our next project Shannon. I can hardly wait!

Shannon Ggem was a true professional and delightful to work with. She went above and beyond to hold our hand thru this process always making us laugh while skillfully handling differences in opinion between my husband and I, communicating with our contractor and searching out products and furnishings that were beautiful and unique. We are absolutely thrilled with our results and can't wait for the next project we tackle with her.

What a great experience we had with Shannon and Ggem Design !
We just bought a small craftsman house and this is the very first time we can actually make decisions. As exciting as it is, we are also overwhelmed with the possibilities and were worried about getting a nice flow, so we thought of asking the help of a pro.
But... we are not really into design, and our budget for it, is on small side, we were worried that it would be an issue. Not at all. Shannon suggested her Comprehensive Consultation, which was perfect for us.
To our surprise, we had a lot of fun shopping around and talking about projects. We got colors but also recommendations about the floors, fireplace, furniture type and set up, plants, exterior etc. Interestingly, I couldn't manage to step away from the former owners' setup before our meeting. We have moved quite a few times, it never happened before. Now, not only do we have great projects in mind, but the ideas keep coming. I seriously don't know how long this process would have taken if we had gone through it by ourselves. We are very happy we sought Shannon's advice!

Shannon Ggem is wonderful. My husband and I had a great experience working with her and Ggem Design co. on our master bath, kitchen and first-floor remodel. This was our first major construction and design project, so it was important to us to work with an expert who would be patient enough to educate us along the way and handle any challenges that arose. Shannon excels in all these areas. From the first time we talked with Shannon and throughout the entire project, she set our minds at ease with her obvious experience and knowledge. She helped us find the right contractors, and navigate all the design decisions along the way. She is a great listener and she really invested the time to get to know us. As the project unfolded we were frequently impressed with the ideas she had and her attention to detail. She was sensitive to our budget, and worked hard to find us options, while still guiding us toward quality products and sophisticated design choices. Shannon was lovely to work with and was always available to answer our questions until the very last detail was installed. She is definitely the professional you want in your corner! We are thrilled with the results and look forward to working with Shannon Ggem again.

Shannon Ggem is an amazing designer. She is able to create the perfect house for you combining your wishes, your budget, your style and her incredible eye. She made a normally stressful situation a total pleasure. The people she uses to make this happen are talented, respectful and reasonable. She also has a wealth of knowledge about construction and architecture. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
