Having the Pinterest house won’t make you happy and other design lessons with Wendy Glaister

Wendy Glaister grew up in retail, specifically in her parents’ jewelry shop, which influences every aspect of how she operates her interior design firm. It is evident in the classical music she plays as a backdrop for her social media short form video content and the dedicated customer service she offers to her clients. This summer, at Las Vegas Market, she is poised to win two ASID ANDYZ Awards for Best Residential Space and Best Showroom Space.

This week, DNN Editor in Chief Courtney Porter, sat down with award -winning designer and former ASID Central California Nevada’s President, Wendy Glaister, to discuss running a successful design firm, being an active participant in ones’ local design community, expensive design mistakes, and the emotional toll caring for clients can take.

Award-winning Turlock Dental Care remodel featuring Silestone

Turlock Dental Care is a small family business with a big mission: to take care of and help people, whether it be their staff, patients, community members, or people in need by way of their mission trips and support. They moved into a new building on the corner of Monte Vista and Colorado in Turlock, California and remodeled it in order to service even more people.

The prestigious American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) named this project the 2022 Best Commercial Space, and it is no surprise why. The family wanted to create a feeling of calmness within the space, and Wendy Glaister of Wendy Glaister Interiors was the perfect person for the job. She carefully selected every material with this goal in mind, including Silestone countertops complemented by the interesting lighting design by Carrie Arnold.
