Testimonials

Karen has become a great friend in the short time I've known her and on top of that.....she is an awesome designer. The very first time she came to my house I knew we were going to be friends.

You wouldn't believe all the compliments I have gotten from so many people about the decorating job you have done for your condo. My husband is especially pleased, because he wanted a masculine look for the den and a dramatic look for our master bedroom with using what he calls "foo-foo" flowers. You succeeded on both counts.
