Design. Inspire.
Let us make your dream a reality starting in our beautiful Design Center!
As with all of the collections and services at Paper Dolls, you have many choices in the way you utilize our interior designers.
We offer complete services from people who hold degrees in Interior Design. Our experienced designers maximize your budget and their time with consultations amid our sample-laden work area or in your home. You may hire a designer to begin with your builder and work with your blueprints to make sure that everything is in place to make functional furniture arrangements in every room. It can be as simple as moving windows or doors over to make a room more functional. Our designers can trouble-shoot at this stage to help prevent mistakes from being made. If your home is built and you are just refreshing your look, we can select furniture, advise where to position it or work with your existing pieces to create a whole new look in your home. And we can work in all phases in between:
Custom window treatments
Accessorizing room settings
Complete room layouts with new and existing furnishings
Fabric selections for upholstery, drapery and bedding ensembles
Assist with selection of paint, wallpaper, tile, floor coverings, fixtures, etc
Draft floor plans and analyze blueprints
Our designers have wonderful resources at their fingertips. We have great working relationships with builders, electricians, plumbers, and custom painters who can help you with all of your needs.
Come in and meet us. You will appreciate the professionalism and friendliness of everyone at Paper Dolls Home Furnishings.

Betty Molinaro
Residential & Commercial Designer
Good Design is about Happy Clients!
Homes are lived in and loved, and each one has a story to tell. I believe it should say something about its owner, so I prefer to design my rooms around the people who occupy them, rather than to simply impress. When a home doesn’t reflect who you are, then it just becomes another space. My goal is to customize your space so that it becomes a part of your identity.
My roots are in Wisconsin, having grown up in the LaCrosse area along the banks of the Mississippi. I became hooked on interior design the moment I picked up my first furniture catalog, I was 10! As a business owner for 9 years in North-Central Wisconsin, I gained valuable experience in growing and maintaining solid client relationships, as well as the importance of community involvement.
I have over 20 years of design experience, receiving extensive, ongoing training and testing through Ethan Allen Corporate Headquarters in Connecticut. Much of my background includes assisting clients with their summer lake homes in the north woods of Wisconsin. I am equally familiar and comfortable guidng clients through new construction as well as remodeling projects of their existing homes.
Recently, I acquired design projects on Marco Island, Florida. I was responsible for the layout, furnishing, accessorizing, and custom window treatments of several spec homes built in the area.
In addition, I recently completed the interior design for a large lake home in Central Wisconsin which is featured in Wisconsin Log Homes Magazine.
I consider each design client and their individual project a privilege that I take very seriously. I honor and recognize the charm and unique characteristics of each home I enter, and when possible, I prefer to remain faithful to its architecture and setting.
