Tonya (Skubic) Olsen ’94
Can decorating a room be as simple as following a recipe?
St. Cloud State alumna Tonya (Skubic) Olsen ’94 shows readers how to create tasteful interior spaces in her book “Room Recipes: A Creative and Stylish Guide to Interior Design.”
The full-color guide to home décor is styled like a cookbook. Olsen offers simple-to-follow instructions to appeal to do-it-yourself homeowners. Her budget-friendly approach combines traditional interior design principles with off-beat finds from bargain shopping.
Olsen graduated with a bachelor’s degree in mass communications and has worked as an interior designer for more than 20 years. She shares ownership of
the LIV Showroom, a full-service interior design firm and retail showroom in Bountiful, Utah.
Olsen will be featured in “Ladies Home Journal” in November and “Everyday with Rachael Ray” in December.
“Room Recipes” is widely available at major bookstores. Olsen shares more of her design ideas in her blog at www.myroomrecipes.com.
