Bridget Gerhardt’s basement has been transformed into a showroom. Gerhardt owns Bridget’s Room, a custom interior design business she operates out of her home. “I carry a full line of flooring and window treatments,” said Gerhardt. “In the last three years I have expanded to include furniture and décor pieces.

In fact, visitors to Gerhardt’s home may notice price tags hanging from her wall décor and furniture. “We leave the price tags on so I don’t have to run and look up the price,” explained Gerhardt. “Everything in the showroom and almost everything on the main floor is for sale.”

Gerhardt started her business eight years ago by offering faux painting and hand texturing. Her clients began to ask for other interior design advice and Bridget’s Room grew to meet the demand. Gerhardt continues to provide the painting services and the walls in her home showcase her talent.

Bridget’s Room holds an open house twice a year – right before Thanksgiving and in the spring. “I invite all of my clients, and they are encouraged to bring their friends,” said Gerhardt. “We have had almost 500 people show up and it is a lot of fun.”

Gift certificates are available and make great gifts. Visits to the showroom are available by appointment only. To contact Bridget’s Room: phone 250.9600 or 226.5073.
