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. Her personality is so warm and trusting. She "got" me and my tastes in blinds, valances, and pillows right away, and I've not been disappointed in anything she's done for me.

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.
