What People are Saying

“We decided to update our kitchen as our family has grown with grandchildren and son-in-laws. Angie helped us remodel the living area in 2002 when we purchased this 1957 home. The view is great, but the house had not been updated for about 20 years. We loved the first remodel. So we approached her on ideas for our kitchen. Wow, the end result is more than we could have imagined! She showed us computer generated drawings before the demo. We were gone for 2 months which was great for the dirty work. Periodically she emailed us videos and kept us in the loop. We trust her and are thrilled with the results.. She is great with the Retro look we wanted with a modern feel. She then helped us with all the furniture selections. We just hosted a family get together with about 50 people and everyone loved the new look. Thanks Interior Motives!”

Mrs D. Gipson- Client
“While I had worked with Angie on interior design of my previous home, she was instrumental in getting the home we built 2 years ago done with no detail left unattended and the design elements were well thought out and executed to perfection. She knew the look we were going for and went above and beyond making it happen. I have details that I never thought in a million years would work…and not only did it turn out amazing but it’s unique and reflects our family perfectly. Our home wouldn’t be the showstopper it is without her. And she continues to help me add touches to it that make it even better which I didn’t think was possible. She works with your budget and listens to your needs and wishes. I don’t know that I ever want my house to be “finished” because it’s so fun to see what idea we can incorporate next!”

M. Markle, Client
“Angie does a fantastic job of working with your space and making it beautiful. She is proficient at everything from revising layouts and working with construction teams to selecting finishing touches. She listens to what you want and adds her ideas to come up with a design. She is also very good at using items you already have in the design. I speak from experience, as I have worked with her on numerous projects including a large whole house renovation as well as single room and small design consults.”

Just love working with Angie Rockenbaugh.... owner of Interior Motives. She is so creative with your vision in mind... even when you didn't even know it was your vision. The most amazing surprise to me was that Angie was never in my house... we did everything through emails and a few phone calls. Her color choices are spot on and her vision is impeccable. I would highly recommend this Company for any decorating projects no matter how big or small.

I love this store as well as the design services they offer!! They have an amazing selection in the store that is different from any store around. I have a sofa and was trying to get recliners that coordinated with it. I couldn't find anything anywhere. They were able to help me pick out fabrics that worked perfect with my sofa and make me 2 custom recliners that look fantastic with my sofa. They also do amazing design work! If you are looking for someone to help design and/or recreate a space this is the place to go. I cannot say enough good things about them!! Lastly make sure if you stop in that you get yourself some of their "Sweet Grace" candles. They smell amazing and are my absolute favorite!!
