Foothills Acreage Renovation

Complete main floor bungalow renovation to accommodate a growing family. This extensive renovation involved restructuring the layout with structural components, a thorough transformation to the kitchen and primary bathroom, and enhancing the overall functionality of each room.

TIMBERFRAME

The journey of this mountain retreat began with the selection of the location and concluded with the final touches of decor and design for these clients. This new home project went through various stages, starting from the initial design ideas to meticulous planning, construction, and ultimately furnishing.

KESWICK

This new build project was created for individuals who frequently host family gatherings, lead an active lifestyle, and wanted to provide a space for their college-aged children to enjoy when they come home.

CIMARRON ESTATES

During the construction of their new home, we crafted custom cabinets for this lively family who served as the inspiration for a cheerful and dynamic color palette. To complete their living space, we also provided tailored furniture, art, window coverings, and personalized decor.

Transform Your Space into a Work of Art

I specialize in residential interior design (new build or renovations), cabinetry, home décor styling and furniture design. I am also a certified Feng Shui consultant, helping to create balanced Feng Shui interior design in your home. I graduated with Interior Decorating and Visual Merchandising, BTB Feng Shui Consultant and True Colour Expert accreditation.

Interior Design

Make your home beautiful – whether you’re building a new home, renovating an existing home, or just improving a single room.

With the right interior design, your house will become a home you love – a space to live, laugh and relax. I will help you find the best colours; plumbing and lighting fixtures; countertop and flooring materials. We will plan furniture layouts which will make every space welcoming, comfortable and functional.

And if you’re renovating or building a new home, I have a lot of experience working with builders, architects and trades.

My work takes me to many places. Some of my past projects for residential interior design in Calgary, Okotoks, Dewinton, Edmonton, and Revelstoke B.C to name a few.  

Cabinetry

Combine beauty with function. Make the most of every space. From kitchens to bathrooms, mudrooms to laundry rooms, and entertainment spaces to wet bars; I only work with cabinetry suppliers who provide top quality products and services.

I spent my early career working as an in-house designer for a leading cabinetry manufacturer. My inside knowledge of the industry will help your project go faster with better results.

Furniture and Styling

The “pretty” part of interior design is not just about layering texture, pattern, and colour to work in your space and for your needs. It is also about scale, layout and combining functional and decorative elements like draperies, art, and accessories to form a coherent environment for you. We will develop your personal style where you feel at home.

Our relationships with artisans, manufactures and suppliers provide a wide choice, from giving aged furniture a new life to sourcing ready-made products or creating an original piece just for your home decor styling.

Our Services

We provide more than just quality services

Make your home beautiful – whether you’re building a new home, renovating an existing home, or just improving a single room.

The “pretty” part of interior design is not just about layering texture, pattern, and colour to work in your space and for your needs.

Why so many stages?

Simply because it’s easier to take lots of small steps than it is to take a few big jumps (and there are fewer surprises along the way!).
Renovation and build projects are complex. By breaking the process into these five steps, we make it easier to understand what comes next and what the cost of your project will be. For example, it’s much easier, and cost effective, to change a design or layout in the Conceptual Design stage than mid construction.

 

 

one point of contact

To keep everything organized and make com- munication easy, you will have one point of contact in each stage of your project.

Karen is responsible for the layout and interior design, ensuring that plans meet your needs, and for the logistics of specifying, ordering
and installing all fittings, furnishings and appliances.

progressive cost refinement

While cost is one of the major concerns in any
project, it’s impossible to know exactly what
it’s going to cost when we start.

Therefore we have three costing stages. Dur-
ing each of these stages, you get the chance to review your selections and decisions, and we refine the cost until it meets your needs and budget.
