TESTIMONIALS
“For punctuality, responsiveness, quality, value, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Nathan and his team twice, both experiences have been great! They have amazing ideas, and really made our new house feel like a home. My hats off to Nathan and the whole team.”
— Pembrook Homeowner
“Nathan and team completely transformed our dark and outdated basement into a space that has now become the favorite to entertain family and friends. He listened to all of our ideas and wishes, and got to know our family and lifestyle. He then designed a space that is even better than we could have imagined! We are so happy with our experience with Nathan and Obelisk that we have already started another remodel project with them for the upstairs. Can’t wait to see the next transformation!”
-State Hwy NN Homeowner
“Nathan is absolutely fantastic to work with! Not only did he provide great designs, he made us feel comfortable enough to be honest in our opinions.”
— Woodfield Homeowner
“We would highly recommend Nathan Taylor and Obelisk Home for any interior design needs. We hired Nathan and his team for guidance and the interior design of our new custom home. His knowledge, expertise, and vision helped us achieve the house of our dreams. He advised us on floor layouts and most of the interior selections including wall, trim and cabinet paint colors; wood and door stains; tile; carpet; solid surface; lighting; pretty much everything! There were many custom features that he designed for us, which include the fireplace, built-in shelving and window seats, upstairs and downstairs bars, as well as exterior stone, stucco and tile selections and colors. Nathan also helped us choose furniture and rugs for our living area, and we are in the process of finishing the great room. Nathan has impeccable style, and we couldn’t be happier with how beautiful the house has turned out! Nathan and his team provided first class customer service throughout the entire project.”
— Hickory Trace Homeowner
“Hired Nathan to help with a remodel of a 1950’s bathroom. What he suggested was fantastic! As a matter of fact I hired Nathan and his firm to redo my entire house. Nathan has this innate sense of what will look amazing once he sees the area and understands the project. He managed to incorporate things that I owned along with new things, which gave it a sense of being more personal. His knowledge and professionalism are top notch!”
— Meadowview Homeowner
“I worked with Colby and Toni from the Obelisk Home design team to update my master bathroom. Best decision ever! Referring to Colby and Toni as truly gifted interior designers does not come close to describing their talent. They are innately and exceptionally skilled in design. In addition, they truly listened to my wants and needs. The end result was better than I ever could have imagined. Just as important to me, Colby and Toni are wonderful human beings, fun, creative, compassionate, always positive, and just a joy to work with! I could not recommend them any higher!”
— Berkley Homeowner
“This was a challenge to make an 80’s condo into our dream home. Our hobbies of cooking and art were our main focus, but how to blend the space into a warm contemporary elegant space was the challenge we gave Nathan. He was certainly up to the task, and we were not living in town so his staff took care of every little detail of this total remodel.”
— Towers I and II Homeowner
“An awesome experience from the first day of drawings to the finished product. Unique design while letting my home represent who I am. Nathan was always available, listened to my preferences while encouraging me to create a space that was special. Great team, it was like working with old friends.”
— Arbour Drive Homeowner
“Stunningly successful. I can’t think of a better way to summarize the project. From design to implementation, Nathan’s conscientious attention to detail yielded the kitchen and bedroom of our dreams. He worked hard to identify what mattered to us, what we loved, what we were indifferent to. And from that, he extracted a vision we could not have pictured, and then helped us see it through to fruition.
I have been describing the results to friends as, “Nathan is turning on the lights in our home.” He is taking the dark corners that we walked past and ignored and transforming them into beautiful statements of who we are, places we now live in and enjoy every day.”
— Catalpa Homeowner
“We hired Nathan and Obelisk Home for all areas and elements of design including interior and some exterior. We will also be using Nathan for furnishings in the home. Nathan has been great to work with and has fantastic ideas about design and understands the construction process as well. We would highly recommend Nathan to anyone needing assistance with design work.”
— Big Bend Homeowner
“Nathan has been fantastic on several different projects on our home and each time I’m amazed at his creativity and design ideas! I love how he uses items that are treasures to our family and mixes them in with updated furniture and fabrics that he finds at market.”
— Lake Shore Drive Homeowner
“Nathan and his team are extremely talented at what they do. We wanted beautiful and livable home spaces for our young family. I felt like they really listened and customized the design to our needs. I was literally in tears after seeing them transform our home. I could not be more appreciative and will be a lifetime customer”
— Whitestone Lane Homeowner
“I hired Nathan for the first time over a year ago. I was having some difficulty in finding tables for my entryway. It was my first time hiring a decorator, and truthfully, I didn't know how it was going to work out. However, the entire experience, from the initial consultation, to the final delivery exceeded my expectations immensely! Not only did Nathan and his team listen to what my visions and preferences were, but they incorporated personal items that I already owned (an antique chandelier which belonged to my Grandmother) to turn our entryway into a truly personalized space. After working with Nathan on the entryway, then the living room, kitchen and master bedroom, I can truly say that he has been a blessing in our lives! He turned our house into a beautiful family home that reflects each person in our family, including our 3 year old daughter! We feel so lucky to have found Nathan! Currently, Nathan is working on an addition to our house. His team not only is going to decorate the interior, but they also designed the addition itself! We just broke ground yesterday, and I could not be more excited to see the final product!”
— Summit View Homeowner
“We completed two projects with Nathan and the Obelisk team, including a small renovation at a previous home, then a whole-house remodel at our current home. Success with the first project led us to hire Nathan and team to help us turn our vacation home into a full-time forever home. The end result of this big and complex remodel is a home that we absolutely love. Nathan started with our vision and a deep understanding of our style. The house is "us" in every possible way, but better than anything we could have done on our own. In addition to helping us choose the perfect cabinetry, fixtures, finishes and colors, Nathan designed flow and layout while working around challenges that were presented by this old house. He helped us optimize the space, respected our budget, and used pieces we already owned to create a truly special space. Nathan and his team do fantastic work.”
— Kingsgate Homeowner
“Nathan Taylor and Obelisk Home are trusted advisors, just as much as our Attorney, Architect, Contractor and Banker. Nathan and his team consistently produce exceptional results and are "World Class" professionals. I consider them a valuable part of our overall development team, as they always add value to the project. At the end of the day, the project is superior because of their contribution and I highly recommend them.”

“Tom’s an accountant and I’m a nurse. We know what we like – if you show us something we can say we love it or we hate it. But designing a whole interior? That’s not our forte. Our home is in Madison, WI and I didn’t think that we could actually work with Nathan remotely. I would have thought that would be impossible, but it was actually very easy.”
— Madison Lake Homeowner
“Our new home was beautifully decorated by Nathan. We enjoyed working with him and his staff. Nathan has a great sense of style and color and proved it in our home. He deserves the highest recommendation!”
— Skyview Homeowner

— Dollison Homeowner
“I just moved into my new house and wanted to put my personal stamp on it. Once I met with Nathan he immediately understood what I wanted to accomplish in my new surroundings. Nathan kept some very sentimental pieces and mixed with new furnishings that complimented my lifestyle! The completed project turned out amazing and I couldn’t be more pleased with the final outcome!”
— Sedgewick Homeowner
“Nathan and his team were amazing! They brought brilliant ideas for all facets of our house and furnishings while listening to our wants. I highly recommend them. I fully trust Nathan’s judgement and style.”
— Red Ivy Homeowner
“I had the pleasure of working with Nathan and his team at Obelisk for a complete basement remodel. Nathan put together an amazing vision and our walk-out basement which is now our favorite space in our home. We had such a great experience, we have hired Nathan for another project and highly recommend him.”
— Jared II Homeowner
“Nathan is such a fantastic designer. This is what they were born to do. He totally respected my taste and time frame and I plan to hire him again very soon. I highly recommend Obelisk Home for any interior design or remodel project.”
— South Farm Road Homeowner
“Nathan Taylor of Obelisk Home in Springfield, Missouri is an amazing designer. We hired Obelisk Home to assist us with one aspect of an update for our music room and before we knew it, we had nearly an entire house remodel and update. Our home is a reflection of our style. It is comfortable, but beautiful, with an artsy edge. With such a wonderful experience with our Springfield home, we asked Nathan to do a remodel of our Breckenridge Colorado Home. Our home is a comfortable, 1900 square foot cabin that had limited seating space in the common area. The rustic cabinet by the door has two racks for wet shoes and boots plus drawers for hats and gloves. Nathan designed a copper top table that houses 4 leather ottomans tucked neatly away when not in use. Nathan also designed and commissioned Beetle Kill Blues, of Breckenridge, Colorado to make a stunning sleek buffet for the dining room. Hanging over the original wood farm table is a chandelier made of antlers with hints of blues and bronzes that Nathan commissioned for the space. We are blessed to work with a designer like Nathan.”
— Catalina Homeowner
“I first came in contact with Nathan at a luncheon that Obelisk Home hosted, and I was immediately struck with how he had so much insight into how to make his clients home feel like "their" home. Not some cookie cutter like so many designers. Nathan has an excellent read on people and what would make them happy. They have made our home a "wow".”
— Timberwood Homeowner
“Nathan never fails to exceed our expectations! It was so important to us that our home have a unique design that was specific to us, and Nathan and his team accomplished just that. After hiring Nathan to consult on a remodel of our old house we knew there was only one call we needed to make when we decided to build a new home. Nathan's eye for design is second to none and we are more than impressed with our finished product. From consulting with our architect and builder, to selecting interior and exterior materials, and selecting interior furnishings Nathan and his team went above and beyond to make our home one of a kind.”
— Ladue Homeowner
“Obelisk Home's Nathan Taylor was captain of the ship on our year-long journey to renovate our beloved home of 21 years. The house possessed a wonderful bone structure, but virtually every aspect of its life had become out-dated, leaky or dysfunctional. Nathan began by helping us to understand our living patterns; he didn't try to make the house what he wanted, he helped us to make it what we wanted. ”
— Farm Road Homeowner
“Nathan's design choices were spot on. He really tries to discern who his client is, what they want and then applies his gifted design eye.”
— Delaware Homeowner
“Nathan was indispensable in the areas of layout and functionality, lighting, colors, overall aesthetic and knowledge of resources in our community and online. As someone who can be very indecisive when it comes to this kind of thing, having someone there for input whose ideas and knowledge I trusted was incredibly helpful. He had great ideas, and we were pleased with pretty much everything he recommended, probably in great part because he really listened to what we wanted in the beginning.”
— Kingsbury Homeowner
“Nathan is an artist with excellent taste, outstanding design, and attention to detail. He listens to your dream and then creates something that is beyond what you could imagine. He never stops constantly adding to your space and improving its story by adding details and personal touches that make it feel like home. His team is attentive and responsive. They respond with detail and make sure all your questions and needs are met. I would highly recommend Nathan and his team to anyone that is looking for outstanding service and design.”
— Delmar Homeowner
Dear Mr. Taylor,
Thank you so much for designing my new room. I am sitting in the rolling chair, writing on the desk and enjoying the acoustics! I love how much space I have, even when I am in the bed with the drapes closed. I stayed up until 10:00 pm last night after you left transferring everything over.
Thank you so much! -Edward

“Nathan was very accommodating to my ideas and goals. Being a "do-it-yourselfer", I was reluctant to accept some of the ideas and suggestions presented to me by Nathan and his team. But due to their patience, expertise and level of professionalism I learned to accept these ideas and suggestions only to find out that my expectations were greatly exceeded by anything I could have imagined in the beginning. Today I reside in a beautifully decorated and designed modern loft that I could not have imagined when I set out on this project. ”
— South Ave Homeowner
“Nathan and his staff designed our whole house remodel, and have been instrumental in seeing that every last detail is completed to perfection. Something that appealed to us was when Nathan asked us to send him several pictures/ideas of what we liked, and he used those to design and create our dream remodel–with our taste and preferences very much in mind. His insight into our sense of style, and his ability to take that style and make it a reality (that far exceeded anything we had envisioned) is amazing. Nathan’s excellent reputation and relationship with various contractors/vendors has helped numerous times during our remodel. His customer service and availability is second to none, and his sense of style is divine. If you are looking for a designer who will provide you with a unique, beautiful product, and will turn your vision into reality, Nathan and Obelisk Home are perfect for you.”
— Lori Lei Homeowner
“The most surprising aspect of working with the Obelisk team is the personalized relationships that develop during the design process. Nathan and his team take the time to become knowledgeable about their client. This facilitates a completed project that "fits" the personality and lifestyle of those utilizing the space. This process results in friendships and working relationships that last.”
— Old Way Homeowner
“Nathan Taylor and Obelisk Home, extremely talented and dedicated team focused on providing an outstanding end product.”
— South Sterling Homeowner
“Obelisk Home created our dream Master Bath and Bedroom. My husband loves historic hotels, so when we thought about remodeling the feel and function we wanted was that of an elegant, romantic hotel from the early 20th century. Nathan Taylor and his team did a wonderful job of translating our dreams into a reality. He was able to redesign the layout of our existing bath to make it more functional. It now feels and looks larger than before. The Obelisk team utilized our existing cabinet base and repurposed the upper cabinet into a beautiful focal point in the room. From the heated tile floor and towel rack to the beautiful sconces and hardware, every detail was well thought out. The construction was well executed by Morgan Kline the project manager for Alltimate Home Improvements. Morgan was easy to work with and was in constant communication with the design team at Obelisk Home. We love our bedroom too, it is so warm and inviting. The custom made bedding and window treatments are beautiful. The tailoring is beautiful, which I really appreciate since I have always made my own draperies in the past. Nathan and his design team incorporated many of our personal items and pieces from my husband's collection of hotel memorabilia.”
— Shady Hill Homeowner
“Nathan characterized both knowledge and professionalism in the service he provided, In my associations with him he was aware of my objectives and provided a variety of alternative styles that could accomplish my desired visual. He was never intrusive while his ability to communicate his vision was uncomplicated. Working with Nathan provided a pleasurable experience and I would recommend his services without hesitation to anyone needing a designer.”
— E Catalpa Homeowner
“Nathan Taylor is a consummate professional. We are a two professional household who built our dream home on our farm after decades of preparation and planning. Furnishing, appointing and decorating our space to match our dreams might have been a time consuming and daunting task for us, but Nathan made it fun and fulfilling. Nathan and the Obelisk team's work is beautiful but functional, cosmopolitan but grounded in tradition, eclectic but cohesive. He created for us a home that is totally and uniquely "ours" honoring our likes, interests and heirlooms, yet possessing a style, look and utility we couldn't have dreamed of. He has an uncanny ability to create magazine cover looks that still represent the uniqueness of the home owners in every room.”
— E 430th Homeowner
“Nathan helped us with all aspects of the remodel of our master bath, closet and addition of a master laundry room from the initial layout design, to material and color selections, building details and accessorizing upon completion.Nathan Taylor and the staff at Obelisk have been an absolute blessing for us.
Reason being, well let me explain what they had to work with....
My wife and I are pretty much complete opposites! I am pretty much 100% rustic at heart and my wife is 100% refined! So for a decorator to walk into a home full of contradictions, listen to our wants, read our personalities and come to the visual conclusions that he came up with and be able to walk away leaving us both with a smile on our faces and still have money in our savings account, well to me that is priceless. They are professional, attentive and most of all great at what they do. We would highly recommend.”
— Applecross Homeowner
“I have worked with Nathan for the past several years on projects ranging from remodel to designing to move in set up. I have always found his work to be impeccable. He has always been professional. We have always been very pleased with his work. We would definitely use his services again.”

“What a joy to work with. Nathan gives us solutions that fit within our budget. He is professional, fun and incredibly talented. His communication and follow up are top notch.

“We have worked with Nathan and his team over the past year and a half as we completely renovated and added on to a 1950's ranch home. Nathan has an impeccable eye for design, and he and his team provide top notch service. I have been particularly impressed with their ability to tailor their recommendations to us based upon our particular needs, wants, and personalities. I would recommend Nathan highly and without reservation.”
