"Excellent design partner"

We really needed to update our 25-year old home, including the living room, dining room, entrance area, and bedrooms/office areas. Karen combined her very creative design aspects with our traditional spin (using mood boards to help in all of the many selections) and developed a proposal in conjunction with our budget. We are immensely pleased with the beautiful results! She coordinated with all of the various professionals, including the painters, carpet and hardwood flooring installers, and others who assisted in furniture selection/ordering, lighting, and window coverings. She has a knack for new ideas, adding those special and unique touches, like rugs, wall hangings, and pillows. We are already receiving numerous compliments on our ‘new home’ from family and friends. We love it! Karen is a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend her as an excellent design expert and partner! –Millie

"Obsessed"

My closet wasn’t working for me functionally or aesthetically. Karen understood my style immediately and basically in a day made my closet a personal boutique that I also want to drink wine in. I’m obsessed with it all but if I had to pick one thing the wallpaper is to die for. –Stephanie

"So in love"

I moved into our house three years ago, and from the start, our hall bathroom didn’t fit the style of the rest of the house. I knew I wanted something bold, but couldn’t figure out how to do it on my own. Karen was able to bring everything I wanted into a tangible plan, first with a moodboard, shopping list of items to purchase and paint colors to check out, and then with a shopping trip for the final touches and help with the installation and staging. I am so in love with the final product, and I couldn’t have done it without her help! –Cassie

Let’s do big things together.
