When award-winning interior designer Wendy Glaister was a little girl in Modesto, she had no idea she would become one of Central California’s most sought-after design professionals.
Skilled at speech and debate, in high school she was on a pre-law track. While the family watched as she developed an early interest in decorating, she never considered a career in the field.

A homeowner’s joyful and sunny disposition was the inspiration for this primary bathroom design in Modesto, California. Interior designers Wendy Glaister and Stephanie Poulsenredesigned the primary bedroom in the 1970s ranch house first, while the adjoining bathroom was a later renovation phase. “The bedroom had been really depressing, so we went with a color palette of sunny yellows, white and gray,” Glaister says. When it came time to renovate the bathroom, the homeowners were fully on board with continuing the playful color combination into the en suite bath.
In this cook’s kitchen, the color scheme was based on the backsplash tile the wife discovered. Her original choice was pricey, so associate designer Stephanie Poulsen found an alternative with the same flavor – in glossy instead of matte and with additional mottling and variation. The 12-ft. wood-grain laminate island includes a 5-ft. workstation sink from Mila.
Carrie Arnold, from Phillips Lighting & Home in Modesto, CA, teamed up with Wendy Yelland and Adkins Construction to execute this beautiful bathroom application.
Arnold used our Mudr aluminum channels to outline the window above the bathroom sink. This application compliments the incoming natural light while also providing smooth, modern lighting throughout the day.
Our Mudr trimless recessed linear LED lighting channels feature a unique, patent-pending lens design allowing for even illumination across the entire surface of the lens from one edge to the other. Using our customization program, the slim mud-in channels were provided with mitre cuts to seamlessly outline the window.
From concept to completion, Alloy LED is here to support you, ensuring that your vision becomes a reality!
Simply the Best! We are lucky to have such a talented designer here in the valley. Wendy and her team make the complex seem easy. God has blessed Wendy with many excellent traits. The Wendyway is to be professional and never lose her cool. I believe it is called grace under fire! The Bordona family can not be happier with our new live Sub Zero Wolf Cove kitchens.
This Manteca, California, couple built their ranch-style house 35 years ago. After retiring, they had no desire to leave. But a few updates were in order to make the home comfortable for years to come.
