"I have had the good fortune to have Shelly work on a number of projects for me over the past years and happy to say each experience has been wonderful. Shelly has an exceptional ability to see the opportunities inherent in a room or a space and create a feel and environment unique for that setting. From developing a Nantucket like lake home on Lake Minnetonka to most recently a rustic farm cottage in Waconia. She has made incredible use of this space and created the most unique, cozy farm cottage I have ever seen. The combination of textures, fabrics, unique pieces from around the world, and unusual lighting make it a delight to return home. I truly feel lucky having found a designer of such world class ability as Shelly Riehl David."
Dr.Greg Helmer, Waconia, MN
"We bought a second home in IBIS of West Palm Beach, FL. Being from New Jersey it would be really hard to furnish and decorate without taking several trip to the Florida area. We just didn’t have the time. We contacted Shelly from Riehl Designs. She spoke on the phone with me quite a while explaining her turn key services to me. She was very detailed about what she can do for our home. I’ve worked with many designers and the initial phone conversation impressed me so much because of her enthusiasm and passion for my job before we even began. A few weeks later we met with Shelly and her husband Carl in Florida to go over our project. She brought some ideas for us to see what we liked. They spent time measuring and coming up with fabulous, creative ideas. I felt like she really understood our needs and was brining something fresh to our home. A few weeks later I received boards she had done with a complete design of our home. It was amazing. I can’t say enough how fresh, different and creative her ideas and designs were. She assured me that no stone would be left unturned. That our vacation home would be complete and all we would need is a toothbrush. Well, Shelly was right. Shelly and her husband Carl worked so hard to create a dream vacation home. They were so pleasant to work with. Shelly and Carl went beyond what a typical designer does. They were out of this world. Our home is beautiful yet different. I can not wait to work with Shelly again on another Florida project."

"My experience working with Riehl Designs was outstanding. My husband and I purchased a condo in florida for vacation use. We live in New York we have children and he runs his own business. So, there was no time for me to go back and forth to furnish this place. Also, we were looking for a certain style in the decorating and after talking to Shelly she new what we wanted right away. When the condo was finished, it was more than we had ever expected. It was greatest thing to walk into a finished place and Shelly and Carl took care of all of the big things but most important, the little things that needed to be done."

"Shelly sourced a fabulous and gorgeous tapestry hand woven in Italy that added such a punch of vibrant color and beauty to our old world home! She then asked them to custom weave us a covering for these ornate gold benches that she chose. The Riehl's also helped us select some lovely lighting that was placed in our historical 1912 bank building that was totally remodeled. The prices were very economical for a commercial setting. They even personally hung the pictures they choose for the building to make sure we were ready for our open house. Now that is what I call going the extra mile and taking a personal interest in their clients ,who can't help to become their friends!!"
Mary Jane Lindholm, MN
