[Shawna Davidson]Story by Shawna Davidson Photography by Micah J. Zimmerman, Amdak Productions  Decorating our homes with so many styles to choose from can be overwhelming, and even more overwhelming when you see the hefty price tags that go along with it. Many people like me are turning to “thrifting” to create cozy, comfortable rooms with smaller price tags. This month, I'll show you how to achieve "Instagram worthy" rooms with thrifted décor in whatever style suits you!

Back in 2008, Mark and Kitsy Radermacher purchased a beautiful home in a tree-lined neighborhood in West Fargo, where they planned to start their next chapter. Five years ago, they reached out to Aubrey Costello at Showplace Cabinetry to update their golden oak kitchen, and this month, we'll show you their latest collaboration.

{MEVOLD STUDIO + CENTURY BUILDERS}Story by Tracy Nicholson Photography by Dan Francis Photography  If you're familiar with the Pelican River area across from Lake Sallie, Minn., you might have noticed a complete overhaul of a longtime landmark. What was once a little red bait shop on the river, is now a cozy, year-round cottage designed for the Nesemeier family. To efficiently build within the bait shop's smaller footprint, Jackie and Dallas Nesemeier relied on two Fargo talents, Mevold Studio for the home's design and layout, and Century Builders as the general contractor.
[Ruki Modern + Radiant Homes + Brandi Youngmark Interior Design ]Story by Tracy Nicholson Photography by Dan Francis Photography  Jamie and Nathan Evenson are part of a growing population that works entirely from home, but, we didn't say it was only one home. For the past few years, the two have been splitting their time between their Las Vegas and Fargo home. When they decided to build near the Oxbow Country Club, while working from Las Vegas, they knew that managing the build remotely could be a high stakes game. To create this stunning dream home, the Evensons needed their own on-site dream team. Their home inspiration: the contemporary mountain homes they fell in love with in California, fused with a high-style version of Vegas glam. See how Radiant Homes, Ruki Modern, and Brandi Youngmark Interior Design were able to give the couple the best of both worlds.

On the road again with Designingwomen2Story & Photography by Kari Rasmus, DW2
We always look forward to the Las Vegas World Market and our chance to share with you the latest design trends. This year’s market did not disappoint. While the finds were not substantially different from previous years’, there were new twists on old ideas that we can't wait to bring to Fargo. But, let’s back up for a moment. We implore you, please don’t follow a trend unless it speaks to you; a trend, by its very nature, is mercurial and temporary. On the flip side, choosing the right trends can keep your environment looking fresh. So, in the interest of staying fresh, we're taking you to Market to show you DW2 partners’ favorite looks.
[ Monica Hart Interior Design ]Story by Alexis Swenson Photography by Micah Zimmerman, Amdak Productions 3-D Renderings by Max Pickett, MHID  When Jon and Lisa Hanson decided to complete their home's basement, contacting Monica Hart Interior Design, was at the top of their list. The family had lived in their South Fargo home for over six years, working with Hart to complete the design upstairs, as well as the interior design of their lake home. While the Hansons requested a brighter and more modern upstairs, they felt the downstairs needed a little more drama, starting from scratch to create a modern, rustic-inspired space with equal parts drama and function. This month, we'll take you underground for a tour of the family's newly completed basement, with the help of Hart and her design assistant, Max Pickett.

[ Maria Bosak, Eco Chic Home ]Story by Maria Bosak Photography by M. Schleif Photography Before photos provided by Maria Bosak
The saying is true, it was worth the wait! After completing eight room remodels, my husband, Tate, and I took a much-needed hiatus. Last month, we were back at it and finally finished a complete remodel of the front living room in our ongoing “farmhouse” project. We’ve now been living here for almost five years and this room sits front and center near the main foyer. It’s the first to be seen, and yet somehow it was the last to be completed of our main living spaces. We're too tired to explain ourselves, so we'll jump right in and show you what a few massive windows can do to capture the view and inspire the room.
[ Mosaic Design + Build ]Story by Melanie Iverson Photography by Penny Burns, Northern Stories
As the married couple behind Mosaic Design + Build, James and I are most often working from scratch - knocking out walls or clearing the ground for huge remodels and overhauls. I was delighted when my friends, Cyndy and Mike Skorick, asked me to start on a design to finish their basement. Their beautiful home is nestled back in the comfy coves of Horace, N.D., and as an added bonus, their basement project was already roughed in. When it comes to the design and build process, we love a blank slate.

Blain & Kelsi Mikkonen | Grant Koenig & Rebeka StollStory by Tracy Nicholson Photography by M.Schleif Photography  While it's not unusual for us to showcase Grain Designs' wood projects on the job site, at The Pines venue, in their workshop, or at their store, we've yet to show you a peek inside their personal lives. This month, we caught up with founders, Grant Koenig and Blain Mikkonen to see how their life's work relates to their own homes. From Koenig and his girlfriend, Rebekah Stoll's take on a modern, rural retreat, to Blain and Kelsi Mikkonen's version of farmhouse style in the city - we'll show you how Grain Designs' custom wood pieces find success in two contrasting styles.
[Jamie Wallace, Calla Lily Designs ]Story by Tracy Nicholson Photography by Micah J. Zimmerman, Amdak Productions  Thirty-five years ago, Jeanne and Dwight Anderson settled in the rural hills outside of Fergus Falls, Minn., spending their first eight years of marriage in a 100-year old farmhouse. As fourth-generation dairy farmers, they eventually moved down the road to live on the home farm. This is where they would spend the next 24 years raising their three children, vowing to someday return.
The Andersons are still farming today, but they're now empty nesters with three beautiful grandchildren; finally deciding to keep their promise and return to the spot where their story began. With plans in place to rebuild the house in 2016, the Anderson’s reached out to Jamie Wallace of Calla Lily Designs in Fergus Falls to help pull the details together for their new home. See how Wallace fused her design expertise with their collection of sentimental farm remnants, bringing the Andersons full-circle with modern farmhouse charm. [ Kari Zick, Fargo ]Story by Tracy Nicholson Photography by Micah J. Zimmerman, Amdak Productions  This month, we're introducing you to Fargo's reigning "Queen of DIY", Kari Zick (yes, we've bestowed her with that title). When you see what she's done with her 780 square foot house, we think you'll agree. After her realtors found her the smallest house on the market, she has since spent the past year-and-a-half recreating every nook and cranny. From lighting to cabinetry, wall installations, Pinterest-inspired fixes, and a whole lot of paint - Zick has transformed an outdated abode into a light and airy, modern-day retreat.

While the interior is specially curated to create a Wabi Sabi-inspired showroom which offices Weyer-For-Hire employees, it's also home to Trever Hill Design.

Every inch of the 1,500 square foot addition is designed to display the same exquisite handiwork and character that Weyer-For-Hire exhibits on the job site.
