I'm Carla
Hello
Your time is valuable and I know that you’re tired of scanning Pinterest and Houzz for ideas on how you want your home to look in between work, kid’s activities and finding time for yourself.
I’m here to help you calm the overwhelm and get to the finish line of your dream home.
With over 25 years of experience I have developed a keen eye for space planning and design combined with in-depth knowledge of renovations and remodeling.
I specialize in transforming the 80s and 90s era home into a custom, livable space that is a beautiful reflection of what’s most important to you.

Fun Facts
- I’ve been enchanted with design my whole life. I loved rearranging my room as a child... in fact, my furniture was falling apart from dragging it across the room to rearrange it when I had a new idea (which was often). The thrill of designing a new space never left me and lead me to a career I love where I've been able to be inspired and creative every day.
- I met my husband right out of high school at an amusement park where we both worked, (ice cream girl and security guard, true story).
- The Ellie + Iver Home Shop is named after those two cuties you see here, our sweet granddaughters.
- I love to travel and I’m always dreaming of our next adventure.
- You’ll often find me in the kitchen in the evening with a glass of wine making the family favorites.
- On the weekends in the summer you’ll find me boating and floating on a lake, and in our Minnesota winters, we love to defrost in Cabo San Lucas.
