Introduction
Exciting News! I now have a dedicated interior painter on my team with nearly 20 years of experience! We offer free estimates and can take care of walls, ceilings, trim, and cabinets—reach out to get started! Hi, I’m Penny Oliver, and I’d love to help bring your design vision to life! My approach is open-minded, explorative, and client-centered, ensuring a clear, well-planned design before any demo or construction begins. Through my expertise in remodeling design and planning, I not only create functional and beautiful environments but also provide the strategic vision necessary to guide clients seamlessly through an entire remodel. I strive to anticipate challenges, streamline decisions, and ensure that every phase—design, demolition, rebuild and final touches—is executed with clarity and efficiency. Although my first priority is to help you create a great remodeling plan, I also want to help guide you through every stage of your project, including: ✔ Floor plan design & 3D renderings – Visualizing and perfecting layouts before work begins ✔ Material & finish selection – Helping you choose the right flooring, tile, countertops, and more ✔ Cabinetry ordering – Sourcing high-quality custom or semi-custom cabinetry from top suppliers ✔ Demolition & rebuild management – Overseeing construction, contractor coordination, and structural changes ✔ Full interior design – Curating furnishings, décor, and top-quality finishes for a polished final look Check out my reviews to see what past clients have said! I truly value the relationships I build with my clients. Collaboration and communication are the foundation of this business. With that in mind, my goal is to work cooperatively with my clients to make the remodeling process as seamless as possible. We will pursue the goal of feeling the excitement and anticipation of creating your dream home from day one! Let’s make your vision a reality—contact me to get started!

If more specific drawings with final selections of tile and cabinetry are needed there is the option to upgrade to CAD drawings.

Penny is absolutely the best designer I’ve ever worked with, and I’ve worked with a bunch. She listens, she gets to know you and what you like, she finds the perfect design elements, and she’s exceptionally creative. I absolutely LOVE the master bath she designed and created. The colors and the flow are perfection.

Hi Laura! What a wonderful project to be part of! It was a true pleasure working with you—especially in the way you so openly shared your vision for a home that is not only beautiful but also deeply welcoming and comfortable for yourself, your friends, and your family. Thank you for your trust and for making the process so enjoyable!

We have used Penny to help design thoughts around how we want to make our space more efficient and modern in our home. She provided great insights and thoughts for how to redo our kitchen, den, and pantry so it would accommodate our family in a better way. The 3D drawings she provided were accurate to the 1/4 inch so it gave us a great visual into how the space would ideally look. Although we only used penny for the space design, she can also help with many of the other aspects of a job like, furniture selection, project management, getting bids, etc. If/when we decide to move forward in these projects than Penny at Breaking Down Walls will be our first call to help us manage the process.

Details: Design of 3 - 4 rooms • Living room • Kitchen • Bathroom(s) • 500 - 1,000 sq ft • Space planning / layout • Furniture selection • Flooring selection • Craftsman / Farmhouse • My home, venue, etc.

Penny was a perfect fit for our upcoming project. I'm sure we will be using her again once the project kicks off. Her experience with vendors/contractors will be helpful.

Thanks, Faith! I love the design we put together and appreciated the cooperative and creative way you both worked with me! Looking forward to the next phase when you are ready! Penny

Penny helped with our project immensely. She came into it when it was close to completion and I have so many regrets that I didn't hire her sooner. Her ability to look at a space and create something liveable would have been so helpful as we built our house. As it was, she helped with some finishing touches I was struggling to complete. Her professionalism, resources and ability to help me through my projects were invaluable. Do yourself a favor, hire her at the beginning of your project. Penny will create a space you will love for years to come.

Sara! Thank-you so much! I am blessed that we had the opportunity to partner on those final details. I too wish I could have been there sooner- if only to enjoy the fun and easy collaboration! You have a beautiful home and I can't wait to see some of the details we worked on in person!

You won’t regret hiring Penny! I had 5 weeks to get my new townhome ready to move in. She listened to my desires for a clean, modern and uncluttered upgrade and she delivered that and so much more; I love my new home! Penny continues to help me with art consultation and installation as needed. I have been introduced to art genres and I have a new appreciation for art in general! I feel we really did “Break Down” some walls that opened my eyes to more beauty and comfort than I could have accomplished on my own. Penny has even painted an original acrylic painting for my bedroom that I absolutely love! Don’t hesitate to call her.

It was truly my pleasure to help you with this project and I look forward to the future projects we’ve discussed; kitchen remodel, floating shelves, furniture for the living room etc!! Thank-you for the easy working relationship and your great communication. Sincerely, Penny
