Hazelyn W.

About Hazelyn:

I am so fortunate to have accomplished so much in my life, showing Quarter Horses professionally, playing golf on the LPGA “amateur” circuit with Patty Sheehan, Nancy Lopez to name a few. But my biggest accomplishment was starting “Hazelyn’s Designs” and “Four Seasons Gifts and Ideas”.

I moved to Green Valley, AZ (South of Tucson) and continued my love for design. My clientele were building homes in Quail Creek, a Robson community. I provided my clients with furniture, window treatments, even linens and dishes.

After many years in the industry, I decided to retire! I purchased a little sports car and wanted to enjoy golf again, however, once bitten by the “design bug” it doesn’t go away, and fortunately for me Norwood was hiring. I had never worked in a furniture store, but I had years of experience in customizing and shopping for furniture. Yes, I was hired and have been part of the Design Team now for 15 years.

What was your inspiration to pursue your furniture/design career?

I would have to say that as a young girl I was always decorating my horse’s stall, and found myself reading and looking at “House Beautiful”.

What’s your favorite design tip?

Don’t be afraid to experiment with colors, texture and getting out of your “comfort” zone, even if you do this using just an accent pillow! You will be surprised by a “new you” feeling.

How would you describe your personal design style?

My home is Contemporary, Hollywood Glam… but I do love Tuscan.

What do you love most about helping people design and furnish their home?

I love the before and after. When I get the big smiles and hugs from my clients, that is my biggest reward.

What’s your favorite design project that you’ve worked on here at Norwood?

It was a major remodel. The client had just purchased a new home that was very much Tuscan in every room, including all of the wrought iron light fixtures and big recessed arches over the fireplaces. They wanted the home to be transformed into a contemporary modern home! The before and after pictures say it all. I loved every step of the challenge.
