LINDSAY MIERZWINSKI

Hi there! My name is Lindsay Mierzwinski and I am an interior designer from Billings, Montana. I live with my two dogs and wonderful husband in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I graduated in 2008 with a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design with minors in Architecture and Business from the Universi-ty of Idaho. I have experience in both commercial and residential design. My projects have ranged from a 14 million dollar renovation down to a sim-ple backsplash for a powder room. In my spare time, I enjoy kayaking, hik-ing, camping, ice hockey, renovating my house and cruising around on my Vespa. Thank you for taking the time to look at my projects!

Capitalizing on the backyard landscaping, the client wanted to expand their kitchen/dining room by 12’ and add a wall of windows to view their beautiful scenery. I designed an open kitchen to allow for the many traffic areas, built-in cabinetry to display china and linens, and a dinning area with extra seating to bring the whole family together.

This small narrow kitchen holds many functions that the client wanted to keep organized and clean. I se-lected a stackable washer and dryer to save floor space and add counter space. I added an open bar and shelving so she would have a space for her com-puter and cookbooks. The kitchen received a new layout that included dual wall ovens, a dishwasher, and more counter space.



University of Idaho Senior Project 2008 I focused my senior project on the recently vacated bookstore on the Washington State Campus to turn it into an interdisciplinary building for interior design, apparel merchandising design and textile, and land-scape architecture. The old bookstore lacked natural daylight so I incorporated a central atrium to allow sunlight to pass through each level. Because people gather near atriums, I positioned meeting rooms and lounge areas around the atrium to promote group discussions across interdisciplinary fields.

University of Idaho Student Project 2006 The coordinator of the University of Idaho’s Business Technology Incubator came to the Interior De-sign department asking the stu-dents to help redesign their facility. I focused on recreating a new lobby that incorporated a library, kitchen-ette, lounge and new reception desk. Creating a central hub, allows the starter businesses to gather and collaborate in order to share innovative ideas to aid in the suc-cess of each other’s business .

Compton Union Building continued


This home underwent an extensive renova-tion with a complete re-design of the first floor. The main living area is an open concept with the focal point being the kitchen. This beautiful kitchen features high-end stainless steel appliances, white cashmere quartz countertops and custom cabinetry. The perimeter of the kitchen displays a gor-geous, sleek but neutral backdrop. The floor-ing is 5” hickory hardwood in a warm tone. The tile in the master bedroom is neutral, but I added glass mosaic tile to add a pop of inter-est.


This is a small 650 sq. ft. custom townhome burst-ing with style. I chose light neutral colors to make the space feel more clean and airy. Selecting a dark-er floor to help ground the space but also adding texture by choosing a luxury vinyl plank that mixes warm greys and browns. Although the kitchen is very small, I selected a backsplash that mixes natu-ral stone and reflective glass to add interest. The bathroom was kept simple with white and taupe subway tile.


This elegant home nestled in the mountains of Idaho underwent an extensive remodel taking it down to the studs. Because of the homeown-er’s large family and pets, they opt-ed for 1,200 sq. ft. of a travertine looking porcelain tile in a pinwheel

pattern to their main floor which added the durability the client wanted as well some interest.

The kitchen boasts new cherry wood cabinets with a simple, clean honed travertine backsplash. The powder bath off the kitchen is wrapped in a rich auburn glass tile with a metal pencil liner. While adding character to the powder room the tile also acts as the perfect complementary backdrop for the illuminated onyx vessel sink.


A 55+ community development featuring smaller effi-cient homes, community garden, club house, and walk-ing trails. I designed several of these homes while cus-tomizing each to the client’s requests. I created a se-lection product program with sample options for each client while keeping a consistent budget. Every home reflects the unique taste of it’s homeowner while keeping a consistent theme for the development.


This clean transitional model home blends soft taupe, grey, and silver with a mixture of textures and finishes. Durable luxury vinyl planking in a warm grey tone was used for the open areas and nylon patterned carpet for the bedrooms. The kitchen, laundry, and bathrooms reveal clean white subway tile with accents of glass tile and brushed nickel fixtures creating a modern touch but still traditional enough for the everyday buyer.


This Coeur d’Alene Lake luxury retreat blends comfortable living and modern amenities while introducing refurbished industrial design with mountain rustic feel. This house features metal tile, granite, travertine, river rock, porcelain tile, and quartz. The kitchen backsplash is one like no other featuring a modern back-splash utilizing the remnants from an exterior metal staircase rail cut to diamond shape.

A new LEED certified develop-ment in Coeur d’Alene with an urban contemporary feel while still keeping with a Northwest style. This model home incorpo-rates a balanced theme of neu-tral earth tones, symmetry and clean lines. I selected a modern wire-brushed hardwood with a matte finish, rich dark tan tile with a natural stone look for the bathrooms, and exotic looking wood grain tile for the fireplace.
