“Jim has provided us with a professional and well-thought out design plan for our new home. He listened to us about the kind of home we wanted and was able to translate that into a space that is both pleasing to look at and will fit our needs as we enter our retirement years. Jim has created design elements that make our home unique. He designed a custom valance system, using his knowledge of lighting and wood-working. He designed the pattern of exterior siding that is both creative and contemporary. Both of these while keeping in mind our particular budget and material specifications. Nancekivell Design has used our ideas about the way we want to live together to create a space that is comfortable, contemporary, and beautiful.”

“Spring of 2014 my husband and I started planning our lake home. We had never built a home before and were tackling a cottage style custom home. After 8 weeks of pulling my hair out with terms I didn’t understand, countless hours researching on the internet, my lack of confidence in my ability to convey “charming” and “quaint” regarding the finished home would look, I was at the end of my rope. Marla Waseka, Graceful Spaces, was recommended to us by a friend and when we met her we connected immediately. It started with a simple, “so you are looking for a story and a half” cottage—and we were off and running. Marla is very knowledgeable, creative and resourceful. It was clear that the bulk of the decision making would be on my shoulders. With that said, my whole attitude about planning and building has changed and it now building the lake home that we are proud of is becoming a reality. 1. She took my random thoughts, ideas and pictures I had of likes/dislikes and helped us create the vision of what “our” cottage home would be. 2.She is our advocate and has provided so many creative options for design “issues” as we have gone along with the project. Her gentle guidance on design options and design alternatives has been so beneficial to our success. 3.When my eyes have glazed over and start to roll to the back of my head, Marla took over with the decisions—and this happened frequently! She understands what we want and can step in to make sure we get it. 4.Marla guided us on areas to save and where to splurge. In addition, she hunted down materials for our cost saving. She found us a reclaimed door that is half the cost of our budget and so unique and perfect for our space. And by the way, she’s always kept our budget at the forefront of our discussions. 5.In addition to all these other accolades, Marla has worked exceptionally well with our builder and subcontractors. Our lake home is not completed but we are so excited with each new stage of development. We highly recommend Marla Waseka of Graceful Spaces and will be using her again in the future!”
