Together they run West Bay Homes, a custom building and developing company for luxury homes in the western suburbs of Minneapolis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur company is unique in that a designer\u2019s influence is incorporated throughout the building and designing process from the very beginning. Our approach results in thoughtful detail and highly cohesive properties,\u201d Kelli says of her process.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI am an artist at heart, and homes are my medium.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_146\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-146\" class=\"wp-image-146 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tileshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Modern-Farmhouse_mudroom.jpeg\" alt=\"Modern farmhouse entryway area\" width=\"750\" height=\"1058\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-146\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Featured: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/products\/680280\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Star<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/products\/657372\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hampton Niles<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>The Design Process<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This Sky Model custom home was a West Bay Homes model and, for Kelli, that translates into creative freedom. Essentially, she is her own client. \u201cWhen a designer of any kind is called upon to render their best and is set free, magic happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her first step in any design job is creating a story. \u201cGiving our custom new construction home projects an identity is crucial. How it feels is pondered far more than how it will look in the beginning stages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her advice for homeowners? Allow your design professional to do their job. You\u2019ve already done your job researching and finding that design firm, and their education, experience and successes have gotten your attention. &#8220;Give them a budget, a timeline and let them exceed your expectations,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_145\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-145\" class=\"wp-image-145 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tileshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Unknown-6.jpeg\" alt=\"Black and white geometric tiled shower\" width=\"750\" height=\"1093\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-145\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Featured: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/products\/667753\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hex Matte White w\/ Black Flower<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/products\/680185\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Black Hex<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/products\/680184\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">White Hex<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Inspiration and Style<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Kelli credits a diverse array of different sources for her home design inspiration. \u201cI find inspiration from my life\u2014my affinity for fashion, textiles, textures and pattern and my love of art and travel. I am inspired by the colors in a desert landscape, old wooden boats, vintage shoes or a chic restaurant in the city. My life experiences are what inspire me,&#8221; she says, proving that you can really find inspiration anywhere if you just look for it.<\/p>\n<p>Describing her personal design aesthetic, she defines it as first and foremost classic with a touch of bold. &#8220;My work has lasting appeal and sophistication at its roots, but I also like to take risks and cause an emotion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m building an atmosphere for my customers, detail by detail, layer by layer.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_148\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-148\" class=\"wp-image-148 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tileshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Sky-16-1000x667.jpg\" alt=\"Beautiful bathroom with mosaic tile and bathtub \" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-148\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Featured: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/products\/650017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marseille<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/products\/650055\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ashford Carrara Skirting<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/products\/657610\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hampton Tumbled Hex<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_288\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-288\" class=\"wp-image-288 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tileshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Rainbow229-1000x1500.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-288\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Featured: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/products\/615854\">Boardwalk Ash Hex<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_289\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-289\" class=\"wp-image-289 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tileshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Purdey-212-1000x667.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-289\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Featured: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/products\/680199\">Bricklane White Porcelain<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Design and Tile<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, we couldn\u2019t let Kelli go without talking tile. We asked her what her favorite tiles or collections at The Tile Shop are and she had lots to say. \u201cOne of my favorite new Tile Shop collections is the exclusive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/category\/tile\/laura+ashley+collection.do\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Laura Ashley collection<\/a>. The ceramic, wicker-patterned tile in a luxurious hue will adorn the backsplash and walls and the soft, geometric Mr Jones will finish the luxe laundry room in one of our upcoming West Bay Home models in Eden Prairie, MN.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor classic tiles, one of my tried and true go tos is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/Search?search=Hampton%20tumbled%20hex\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hampton Tumbled Hex marble<\/a>\u00a0mosaic. Marble is just so timeless, and when we cover a surface with this material, it immediately adds richness. It\u2019s also a chameleon because it adds depth to more forward-thinking home aesthetics\u00a0and elegance to our more traditional clients\u2019 homes,\u201d Kelli says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I like most about working with The Tile Shop is the current, on-trend and timeless tile materials offered. As a designer and real estate developer, I handpick my suppliers and sales reps for their quality in materials and superior professionalism. With The Tile Shop, I know our clients and our custom homes are exposed to the largest, most cutting-edge tile material options, allowing for exuberant creativity and design storytelling at its finest. It\u2019s all a part of the puzzle. Every material selection matters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_149\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-149\" class=\"wp-image-149 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tileshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Sky-22-1000x667.jpg\" alt=\"A pop of orange in a white tiled bathroom\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-149\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Featured: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/products\/657372\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hampton Niles<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>What\u2019s Your Favorite Part of Your Own Home?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cMy favorite part of my personal home is our kitchen.
