"We purchased our Tahoe house in 1990 and it had never been renovated in all that time. After many sleepless nights of feeling overwhelmed and at a loss about how to proceed since our primary residence is in the Bay Area, I
discovered Holly, a dream come true! She handled every single detail of our project and even helped us get an outstanding contractor. Holly took me a little out of my comfort zone of outdated, boring choices and I am so glad she did. I couldn't be happier with how the house turned out, not to mention that everything was completed in a quality, timely manner. We trusted Holly and our contractor so much that we did not even check on the project until it was near completion."

"We worked with DesignBar for nearly two years (2019-2020) on every stage of the design, build and implementation for our Truckee home. While the firm is world class, it was having Holly Galbo Bopp as our lead point of contact and designer that made the process outstanding. Like anything, you can get products anywhere; it's all about the people. And Holly and the DesignBar founders were amazing. From selecting items in our budget and sourcing things that were our style to being adaptable and rolling with the changes of a new build, Holly was communicative, creative, and a problem-solving wizard. Our home is truly a "home" and the look and feel is a big part of that. Highly recco these folks and am personally grateful for the work! We'll enjoy it for a lifetime!"

"We worked with Holly and the team to design our home from the ground up. We received such excellent treatment! We worked together for almost two years. They handled everything and never wavered. We were in such excellent hands. Taste, design, integrity, follow through, kindness, quality, patience, access to the best decor. Everything. Holly picked all of our lighting, flooring, cabinets, literally everything in our home. She listened to what We wanted, considered our taste and how we wanted an extremely modern home but still inviting. That is exactly what was delivered. I can recommend Holly and Design Bar with the utmost confidence. I am so pleased with our gorgeous home. Thank you Holly and team!"

"Holly with the Design Bar was great to work with! Holly was hired by my clients to decorate a unique home near to downtown Truckee, zoned for horses on a 5-acre parcel Holly had a tight budget to work within, a narrow timeline to perform within and did an exceptional job from start to finish. Holly performs well under pressure and is someone you can count on for any design or decorative needs!"
