The first thing I noticed - and our realtor noticed it too - was that Traci is a great listener. We talked about our ideas, and she took the time to go through my inspiration images to incorporate those elements in her plan. I appreciate that Traci was flexible in her design, yet she clearly communicated when and why an idea I had may not be realistic or appropriate for our space. Thanks, Traci!

Traci was great to work with--FIRST she listened to my wishes and ideas and THEN made recommendations. Because she asked me first, her recommendations for the most part were spot on. She also made recommendations within our budget. She's a no nonsense kind of girl and I enjoyed working with her.

We used Traci Rauner Design when we built our Ganser Custom home in Prairie du Sac, WI. Traci helped us through the process of designing our kitchen, laundry and bathrooms layouts. She was a great help to us when choosing cabinetry, countertops, and hardware, making suggestions within our budget and keeping us informed when we exceeded it. Because we veered significantly from the original floor plan, several extra meetings and drawings were required to make the plan fit and flow.
We wanted a kitchen that, when spending time at the island sink, would highlight the view to the rear of our property and with excellent and prompt e-communication and face-to-face meetings, she made it happen! Gansers encouraged us to work directly with Traci until the kitchen became, on paper, the way we dreamed it would be in reality. Thank you, Traci, for going the extra mile for us! We are so happy with our new home!

Traci was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in making recommendations for our new construction home cabinetry based on photos of styles that we liked. She helped to simplify an overwhelming process of choices and delivered a beautiful, quality product. She went above and beyond to provide input and guidance along the way and made multiple revisions to our plan sets to ensure we were happy with the result. We would strongly recommend Traci to our family and friends!

Traci was so helpful with our kitchen upgrade. We told her what our thoughts were and she came up with the recommendations that fit our needs perfectly. Traci redesigned the island to give us more room. We were so impressed with the installers. We would highly recommend Traci. Jim and Diane Waller

Danielle Lohr
Traci not only helped us redecorate when it was time to sell our house but also did our new construction! She was extremely busy at the time but never made me feel like I was annoying with the constant questions! She is very friendly, professional, and amazing at what she does! Thanks for ALL of your help Traci!

Traci was integral in the complete remodel/ addition of our kitchen. She listened closely to what our needs were and designed an efficient layout that blends seamlessly with the rest of our home. The finished project surpassed our expectations. Highly recommended!
Anita B.
Traci did final interior design work on a kitchen/dining/living room remodel. She had great ideas right from the start and worked well within our limited budget and with existing colors/structures. She understood cost/benefit items for us and had helpful suggestions. We love our new look and everything is what we were looking for. I would definitely recommend Traci for your next project!
Jacky D.
Traci made the whole process painless and even enjoyable. We gave her a budget and she stayed within it all the way. She offered suggestions to make our vision even better. Traci was in our home to measure for the cabinets and was here for the installation- very impressive to us. We didn't lose us in the process- we achieved our vision of what we wanted and even more.
