Molly Gerkin Johnston Interior Designer

I first hired Molly 13 years ago when we built a new house. She was there from day one when the house was still a plan on paper and saved us from making some mistakes we would have regretted. She guided me through picking colors and styles for walls and floors, incorporated furniture we already had and added unique features that made the house flow beautifully. The finished project was perfect and we loved it. Now 13 years later I am replacing living room furniture and up dating the area and Molly is once again helping me choose things that will change the look but still be the comfortable room that we want. Molly is great to work with and she is very good at helping the client pick the items that they are comfortable with that will suit their lifestyle and will hold up with daily use.

How beautiful our home looks! Just like I had imagined it! I knew how I wanted it to look but had no idea how to bring it all together or what I needed to use to get my “perfect picture.” Molly, made suggestions and was able to even help me to see beyond my ideas. I was so impressed and never once regretted inviting her into our home or using her services and I am so thankful for her expertise. Very talented designer!

Molly has been my Interior Designer since 1995 when my family moved into a new home. I didn't know anything about how to pull a house together. She listened carefully to me and helped me identify my personal style. She realized that I wanted quality work and products without a big price tag. Molly is very professional and at the same time fun to work with. She is equally enthusiastic about large or small jobs. She helped me decorate two houses (rustic elegant), my mother's duplex (traditional with a touch of Victorian) and my husband's office (hunting lodge). Each of us loved the outcome. She also helped decorate our home for special events i.e. Christmas and wedding parties. Our biggest project was a major reno of our kitchen and master bath in 2006. Molly worked with our contractor to create our dream. When I couldn't find just the right wall color she worked with the painter to create a unique blend that was perfect. She hires highly professional painters, carpenters, etc. and holds them to high standards. When we eventually downsized Molly helped me sort through our furniture to select what would work in our new home. By this time she knew me well enough to know just what I would need to feel comfortable in our smaller home. Later, when my husband retired, Molly helped us bring his hunting lodge furniture and décor into our home and create a wonderful man cave for him. She is a skilled professional who turns out a high quality product on time and according to the agreed budget. I highly recommend her.

It was a pleasure to work with Molly. She worked to incorporate my taste into the design choices, and always recommended high quality products at a good value. Molly was always professional and kept the project on track. I look forward to working with her in the future.

Molly has been our Design Consultant for over 30 years. Her knowledge and skill has guided us thru everything from paint selection, the perfect piece of furniture for a unique space to most recently building a new home at the lake. She is a good listener, a good communicator and (committed to details). A delightful person to work with!

Molly is incredible with her design talents and ideas! She has helped us so much with our decorating challenges, and has become our go-to decorator 100%. You will not regret hiring her and you'll make a great friend in the process!

Molly has been providing my family with interior design services for over 15 years. During that time she redesigned our large family home, my husband’ s medical office and then assisted us as we downsized to a new home. I have never felt pressured when working with her and depended on her to translate my ideas into reality. She is personally and professionally a delight to work with and I would never hesitate to contact her for my interior design needs.

Molly has helped my husband and I for over 20 years. We’d done several major redecorating projects in the 2 houses we’d lived in. Four years ago we decided to build a house and after choosing our builder, the next call was to Molly. We simply couldn’t have done it without her expertise! Molly gave us excellent guidance in lighting suggestions, room arrangements and selections of most building materials. She was an invaluable member of our building team. Our new home is a reflection of us because Molly makes a point of helping her clients discover their own tastes. Plus she’s such fun!

I have worked with Molly for many years and many projects. Also worked with her to design our rural arts and crafts styled home. Outstanding Professional and delightful to work with. Would highly recommend her.

It was great working with Molly...she really worked to understand what it is I wanted and helped me to achieve it. She helped take care of a lot of the leg work and connected me to professionals that did the "support" work...curtains, reupholstering, etc. Besides that, it was great fun. Her attitude is always good and she always welcomed my phone calls. Project went well and finished in a timely manner.

I love Molly and can’t imagine working with another interior designer. Our first project, 20+ years ago, was a Caribbean-looking living room, the next was western when I married a cowboy, and the last was 6 years ago when the cowboy and I carried the western theme into a house we had built. Molly was with us from the beginning with selection of the exterior brick and stone, and the roof color. The house is very livable and beautiful inside and out. She is easy to work with, a problem solver and always smiling or laughing. She is very conscious of money and skilled at knowing where to save money in one area so we can splurge on another. She has great ideas and really listens to what we want. She has been great at incorporating what we have into a new scheme. I look forward to seeing what our home will look like when we downsize.
