Rebecca West Interiors

Rebecca works with the business who painted our house (Phinney Ridge Painting). She helped us choose the colors — we already knew which ones we wanted, but not the specific shades. I was skeptical that I would need help… that is, until I saw all the different shades of EVERY color available and how different they really are from each other. I hadn’t taken into consideration how darker colors fade and can last a shorter time than lighter ones. With her help, we ended up with EXACTLY what I had envisioned for our house, and it turned out beautifully. We couldn’t be happier, and she was a joy to work with. You will love Rebecca.

I am a professional organizer and have worked with Rebecca on two different projects for clients. Not only is she an amazing designer, she looks at the emotions behind the changes that people are making and finds ways to make their home work for their life. Everyone I know who has worked with her adores her, and I can’t wait to refer her for more projects in the future!

We were referred to Rebecca by our trusted Real Estate Agent at Lake Reality. We were needing to paint a cottage-​garage and wanted it to fit in with our home and the landscape and yet stand on its own with character and interest. Additionally, we really didn’t know how to pull it off and are the kind of clients that love to have ideas to toss around before making a decision.
Rebecca was patient, creative and attuned to what we were looking to create inside and outside of the cottage. Her ideas for color choices were spot on and have created a fun and beautiful space for friends, family and colleagues to come and enjoy.
We are so happy with her work and her gift with color and highly, highly recommend her.
PS: She can even work with tough clients… which we were at the time! We wanted to be creative and had to have the colors to the builder the day before. She simply was flawless in the process.

Rebecca delivered exactly what she advertises. I have had less than great experiences with interior decorators in the past who just didn’t synch up with me and my lifestyle but Rebecca nailed it! She was easy to work with, warm and friendly with an excellent eye for spatial placements and colors. She is not high tech but if you want a creative woman you can work with to enhance your space, give Rebecca a call.

Rebecca is professional and kind which are traits not common in this world. She listens to what you want or need in your space and she delivers! Her staff as well has been incredibly attentive and easily accessible by email. I have worked with her on my personal home as well as my office and I would not hesitate to hire her again and again! You reallly cant go wrong ;)

Rebecca is terrific! She is an amazing listener. We love our remodeled bathrooms and bedrooms (she did our living room a few years ago). I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

I did a quick action session to get help with general furniture layout, overall design and wall color. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. I did my homework and showed Rebecca pictures of things I liked. We worked with what I already had a moved stuff around. Then we talked about a very small budget to upgrade a couple lamps and wall colors (we also discussed things I could add later when I have a little more cash). Rebecca also had some hints about where I could find things for less expensive and showed me on her laptop the types of items I should look for to suit my taste. She picked out some wall colors for me that are amazing! Everyone that comes over comments on how great they are no matter their taste. We were able to go through each room in my condo in a really short amount of time. I did not think we would be able to do it. I was also able to reach out after the session with additional quick questions. If you need decorating help this is the woman for you.

We worked with Rebecca through Phinney Ridge Painting to select exterior colors for our home. We were expecting it to be a gruesome process because we each had different tastes. After doing some homework (took photos of house colors we liked in the neighborhood), Rebecca helped us to narrow things down and we used the colors she suggested. The house looks great and even had some professional marketing photos take of it. We’ve gotten lots of compliments on our 101 year-​old house!

Rebecca came along, gave me a few tweaks and now my condo feels like a spa! I asked for a color consultation — which she excelled at. Then she also recommended that I change out a few pieces of furniture and rearrange/​hang some art in different ways. I get mega compliments on my place because of Rebecca’s advice. 5 stars1 You rock Rebecca!

We bought our first home and felt overwhelmed about how to choose interior paint colors. Rebecca came over, heard our ideas and within an hour we had every single room picked out. I was super impressed & we’re delighted with the color palette she helped us choose!

We had the most amazing experience working with Rebecca. Here are our top 5 reasons:
1. It is about what YOU want, not her style
2. She is FUN to work with
3. She can work within your BUDGET
4. She helps you FIGURE OUT what you want (this was the hardest for us to do on our own)
5. She makes the whole process so EASY and stress-​free

Though I think Rebecca is charming and has great style, I definitely think that she is limited with what she can offer. After perusing her blog, I realize that she pretty much has one style, and though I tried to steer from her color palette, I’ve ended up with, well her color palette. If you are hopeless in decorating for yourself and want someone to put a sparse, simple room together, Rebecca is great. If you’re someone who enjoys layers and textures, Rebecca might not be the best designer for you. My experience was also frustrating at times: While reminding me that her time was valuable (I agree), I felt that we wasted a lot of time because of missed appointments and scheduling conflicts that included Rebecca leaving town for a month and leaving the loose ends, well, loose. My house is still half-​done, as there wasn’t a lot of follow-​through with the custom furniture and such. I still don’t have a clear plan for rugs (she suggested a few, then said that perhaps she didn’t like them, but didn’t give me other clear options) and the upholsterer she recommended (and had me drive all the way up to Lynnwood to go through fabrics with) has had my chairs for 4 months, even though they specifically made me wait until my fabric was in for me to bring my chairs to them. (I still don’t have the chairs!) The other disappointment is that Rebecca was made well aware of the fact that we are a family with three children and I was referred to her by a home organizer. I requested places for coats, shoes, and backpacks, and all she added into the design was one small square storage ottoman that would barely fit one backpack or a few pairs of shoes. It was an issue I continued to bring up, but she kept wanting to charge me for more time, even though she overlooked this clear request repeatedly, so I gave up and am having to make my own changes to her design to accommodate this.
Again, Rebecca is a lovely person and I think for people with no ability to decorate a room, she would be great at helping you pull together a simple room with grays and an accent color.

I recently invited Rivalee Design to assist me with my hopeless apartment.
I have always loved this space, but my vision just never quite comes together in a cohesive, effective and attractive way.
Rebecca listened to my needs from each space, considered my budget and really put some thought into my personal taste/​lifestyle to create a strategy with a timeline and a beautiful end result.
I am so happy I finally called in a professional and have a space I am proud to share with others.
Thanks Rebecca, I am in awe of your ability!

So friendly, so savvy, so helpful. I never felt pressure to settle for something I didn’t love– even if my own tastes were not as vogue as the hottest trends. Rebecca offered clear but gentle guidance and was happy to work with what we could afford to give us the impact we wanted in our kitchen and living room. We will be using Rivalee again.

I was really happy with Rebecca’s services. She made it really easy for my wife and I to decide on colors for the interior of our home. She has a very keen eye, design savvy, and is an expert with finding the right colors for your home and space. I am a painting contractor and steer my clients to call Rebecca when they are stuck on color or design She offers professional advice and guidance and it makes my job easier when the colors have already been chosen. I would highly recommend Rebecca an Rivalee design for any of your interior design or color needs!

Oh. My. Gosh. Rebecca frickin’ rocks!
I work with people about money — including clearing out emotional and mindset blocks. But in ONE SESSION Rebecca helped me clear out some old stuff that I hadn’t even realized was there, and changed my space forever.
We were talking about how I don’t like being in my apartment, but I didn’t want to spend a lot of money re-​doing it because I’d like to move. As we talked I realized that the large couch in my space was from an old relationship and no longer served me. I had a lot of memories that came up when I walked in the space, but it was really subtle. I was shocked I hadn’t thought of it, but it’s hard to see our own blocks sometimes!
I replaced the couch within a week, and moved a few other things around. Even my daughter could feel a difference — she started sitting with us on the couch, which she would NEVER DO BEFORE. She always sat on the floor.
I know it sounds like a small thing, but that’s what’s so great about working with Rebecca — you don’t have to make big changes to make a huge difference. She gets to the heart of things and knows her stuff!
I will definitely work with her again!

I used to think picking the right colors for a house was easy. I like green – let’s paint this room green! But there’s so much more to it than that, and Rebecca makes the entire experience so personal, warm, and empowering.
I had her over for a color consult on our house which we bought 6 months ago. Working with her was a delight, and she thought about things that I never would have. She brings her knowledge of all elements of design work to the table to help complete the full picture, listening to me as a client and paying attention to the personality of the house itself. Working with her seriously put me in a great mood for days.
I only used a small portion of her talent as an interior designer for this consult, and I know that when I have more intense design projects, she’ll be the first person I’ll call and the one I’ll recommend to every one of my friends/​family.

I wanted to change a rarely used, single-​purpose guest bedroom into a meditation/​yoga room that could double as a guest room when needed. I had some ideas in mind but just couldn’t seem to pull it all together. Enter Rebecca West. She is so amazing with color and interior design. She helped me pick out paint colors I would never have chosen myself because I am so conservative and blah when it comes to wall colors. My room is now a soothing oasis of warm and rich grays.
During our first couple of meetings, Rebecca asked a lot of questions about the look and feel I was seeking for my ‘zen den’. She listened to my wishes, needs, concerns, apprehensions. When she came up with the design for the room, I was absolutely delighted! She really captured the essence of what I was seeking but would never have been able to produce myself. She was also always mindful of my budget when selecting items for the room.
Rebecca was punctual for every meeting, very presentable and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend her to my closest of friends. Now I need to start saving for my next makeover project with her!

I have worked closely with Rebecca West on many projects. She is truly an expert in her field. As an electrician, my clients have many choices to make during the process of remodeling their homes, electrical and other (paint, tile, fixtures, ect.). Often times all these choices lead to a lot of changes, and changes can add up quick. I know when i walk onto a project with Rivalee Design that the homeowners tend to know what they want, know where things are going, and the project always runs smoother making deadlines easier to meet; all as a result of working with Rebecca prior to beginning construction. The final result: the client gets excellent results and saves money by having the job done once and done right.

We hired Rebecca to bring some warmth to the beige box that was our office. I had never worked with a designer before; I’m glad to say she exceeded my expectations. I was impressed with her attention to detail while never losing sight of the feel we wanted. She choose colors for our seven rooms that all complemented each other. We have received numerous compliments on her choices. We were given options for many aspects of the design such as seating, and window treatments with pricing breakdowns for all components of the design. She was delightful to work with. Hiring Rivalee Design saved us time, money, and stress. Thank-​you Rebecca!!!
