Not every project needs a full design-build partnership. Sometimes, what matters most is a clear, cohesive design plan — intetionally created and fully documented — so you can build with confidence on your own timeline. Our interior design service delivers the complete Moonstone design experience: intentional layouts, curated selections, and a final design package ready for you to bring to life.

- Breanna V.

“We vetted numerous contractors and it was clear that Lidia had the best understanding of what we were looking for. Her passion for design + function aligned perfectly with our vision. If you are looking for a contractor who can create a design full of unique character and blend old with new, Lidia + Moonstone will do just that."

- Mike P.

““They helped make our dreams of finally having a functional and beautiful bathroom come true! Lidia is patient, creative and hard working. Her crew are respectful, clean and efficient. The before and after photos really speak for themself, if you need another reason to call this woman-owned amazing local business!"

- Kasey H.

“We were impressed with how quickly the team worked. We had no delays in our project. I loved working with a woman contractor. It made me feel much more comfortable asking questions + making decisions with someone who was also a mom. We have had our new basement for several months now and really love it! It functions and looks exactly like we wanted, and Moonstone made that happen!"

- C.M.

"Lidia + her team were fantastic when working with them on my kitchen and bathroom remodel. Choosing materials with Lidia was so easy, and she made sure that we were on the same page with design and budget. Whenever we had concerns or questions about the remodel, Lidia and her team would listen and act accordingly. I would use Moonstone Design + Build again."

"Lidia and the team did a wonderful job working toward the vision we had for our remodel. The results were stunning and Lidia worked tireless to ensure we were satisfied with the outcome. She is also a very personable individual, and a sensitive artist. She really "got" our aesthetic. Her team is a joy to work with!"

- Roman K.

"I had the pleasure of working with Lidia on a full home remodel in Highland Park, and I was truly impressed by her exceptional attention to detail + the passion she brings to her work. Her design approach is both innovative and unique, with a remarkable use of color that truly sets her apart from others in the field. The creativity and thoughtfulness she poured into every aspect of the project were evident, and the final result exceeded all expectations."
