Client Testimonials

"I was thoroughly impressed with Katie’s ability to cover so much ground in one hour. She helped me think through three rooms in my home I have been stuck on--from layout to color schemes to specific furniture recommendations. She expertly harmonized her suggestions with the existing elements in my home. As someone who enjoys design but struggles with the execution, Katie's approachable demeanor was much appreciated. I am excited to put her recommendations into action. A+!"
