The Ladies of the Barn Door

Wendy Walter
Wendy grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and graduated from the University of Georgia in 1986 with a Bachelor of Science in Home Economics and a major in Interior Design. She interned her last semester with Ethan Allen Carriage House and went on to work with an independent designer, Windsor Interiors. One year later she joined Chelsea Interiors and was president for four years before getting a “wild hair” and heading out west on a pack trip. She was definitely smitten with Wyoming and impressed with how much better the air smelled! Soon she was packing her Jeep and driving west…ready for whatever came her way but hoping to have a shop of her own someday.

Nine years ago the idea of The Barn Door was born. The whole concept of an “interior design studio/retail shop” in Pinedale, Wyoming was risky and a gamble, but one worth trying. Shortly before The Barn Door opened for business, Wendy and Mary Lynn met, decided to combine their talents, vast array of sources and the two have been together since…enjoying all the people they meet and the challenges that come with them.

Mary Lynn Mickelson
Mary Lynn was born in Afton, Wyoming, but at a young age moved to Salt Lake City, Utah where she grew up, completed her education, married and began a family.

She has been the owner of several independent businesses all relating to the world of “design”. One business in particular, Interior Plant Design of Salt Lake, was responsible for creating and installing the largest interior landscape in the western United States during the early 80’s. This design was done for the new office complex of Northwest Pipeline, which is now known as Williams Brothers.

Before meeting Wendy and becoming involved with The Barn Door Design and Interiors, Mary Lynn worked under the name MLM Design, offering interior design expertise, interior house painting and later exterior landscaping design. However, joining Wendy and being involved with The Barn Door has put the icing on her “career cake”!
