Noelle DeHarpporte

I thought I knew what a designer did, but Shane redefines the role. We had a full kitchen remodel that tied in the attached living room in our small 1926 bungalow. I’m a private chef, so the functionality of the kitchen really mattered to me, as well as the design and beauty of the overall space. Shane assembled a fantastic team and guided me from beginning to end, where we were met with more than I even had dreamed of. You will be in the BEST of hands with Shane. Trustworthy and discerning, as well as deeply caring of his clients wishes are words that describe him.

My wife and I were thinking about renovating our kitchen and were talking with a contractor with some ideas in mind. We could tell that while we could think of a rough sketch of what we wanted we didn’t have a complete picture of what the kitchen should look like, and didn’t have the time to devote to the project. We knew Shane from the neighborhood and asked if he’d be willing to sign on as our designer and it was the best decision we could’ve made. He worked tirelessly to ensure that our ideas became a vision, and that vision a reality. He worked with the contractor, appliance people, the group that made our wine cabinet and anyone else involved in the undertaking. He effectively project managed the timeline while minimizing the cost of a multitude of items. We saved significant money having Shane involved but even more importantly we have a beautiful new kitchen that maximizes our space and is even better than we could’ve imagined when we started. Shane is the best and we would recommend him in all things.

Comment from Spencer Design Associates:

Thank you for your kind words Adam. Working with you and Bonnie has been a real joy and I’m grateful for your confidence and trust in hiring me to help you both through the lengthy process of a full kitchen renovation. I’m raising my glass (wine, of course) to both of you and the wonderful new space you get to enjoy everyday. All my best to you and your family!

I've discovered over the years that we are all influenced by our life experiences in the way to design our own individual spaces. Well, I have also discovered that collaborating with diverse backgrounds has made my spaces become more than I could ever imagine. Shane has consulted and influenced the layout of art walls, furniture selections, kitchen plans, and interior finishes. He has a unique eye that has made me appreciate the space I live in in a way I could never imagine. I personally am someone who manages my home enhancements project by project...I have his contact information in my phone. Thank you Shane for all you have done to enhance my home over the years.

Shane is an absolute professional who is extremely talented. The project was a condo conversion of 46 residential units in an vibrant Downtown neighborhood. Shane worked directly with the Development team & Construction company in the complete renovation of all common areas, exterior spaces and finishes for all 46 units. He also designed and furnished 3 models for our sales team to assist with selling and help us achieve a faster absorption against our competitors. Looking forward to working with him again in the near future!!

Thank you very much Michael for your kind review. It was such a pleasure working with you and team to create a new boutique condo building with its own identity in the market. Look forward to working with you again soon!

Working with Shane Spencer on our home project was an absolute pleasure. His taste is impeccable and at the same time he was able to incorporate our thoughts and ideas (and when needed gentle nudge us in a direction). Spencer Design Associates has my highest recommendation.

Shane with Spencer Design Associates transformed the interior of our lake home from ordinary and old fashioned to stunning and modern, while still maintaining a comfortable easy living aesthetic! Shane has a keen eye for color and style and chose the perfect combination of furnishings, flooring, lighting, art and objects that completed the main living areas to perfection. He is friendly, personable, and his attention to detail is phenomenal. We are thrilled with the results! We will be continuing our alliance with Shane to make future improvements to the exterior of our lake home to modernize and enhance the curb appeal!

We needed help updating our Condo in Minneapolis. Spencer Design (Shane) has made a complete transformation ! From the moment he stepped into our Condo he knew exactly what we needed to get the look we desired. Shane has exceptional taste and has experience in all areas of design and architecture. We love our new home and we have to thank Shane for that!!

We worked with Shane for our 25 Jeffrey Park project and couldn't be happier! From start to finish he was prepared, professional and open to dialogue. His design eye is ever-changing and always on top of the latest trends. We can't wait to work with him on future projects!

Commented: island light detailsThank you Rhonda. The island light was produced by Circa Lighting. The Dot Triple Pendant. Unfortunately, they stopped producing this fixture. You should reach out to them to inquire for more info.
