Interior Design Alchemy

Discovering Kristen has been an absolute game-changer for someone like me, who typically shies away from decorating and contemplates joining the circus at the mere thought of a remodel. Kristen made the entire process seamless, assisting with everything from choosing paint colors and window coverings to art and furniture shopping. Her keen eye for detail and space utilization is truly unparalleled, and we couldn't be happier with the results of our remodel. Excitedly anticipating our upcoming projects with her in the spring for a bedroom and kitchen remodel! Kristen has turned what seemed daunting into an enjoyable and stress-free experience.

Hiring Interior Design Alchemy is definitely the best decision I've made in quite some time. I do not enjoy shopping, and I don't have a natural gift for decorating and interior design. Thankfully, Kristen took on our challenging large family! :) We had a flood in our basement and kitchen the same week lockdown started for COVID. It was quite stressful with our six kids. Kristen took a tired house that had been beaten on by five boys and a girl, and transformed it into a dream home. We are now the parents of six teens and young adults, and it was time for our house to reflect that. Kristen will also work within your budget. She knows how to find deals, and what is fairly priced. She is hard working, oozing with talent, and fun to spend time with. She will navigate your challenges with grace and determination. She will prevent you from making costly mistakes. I am completely in love with our house after 15 years!

It has been such a relief to find Kristen. I was really struggling to come up with a cohesive plan for my kitchen and dining room and Kristen was able to listen to my many likes and dislikes and create a plan that I truly adore. She made the process fun and exciting and I cannot wait to work with her on my next project.

Kristen has helped me on a few projects over the years and most recently in my new home. I love the flexibility she offers with various packages so that I can tailor to my needs in that moment. She uses her resources and style sensibilities to push me in a direction that sometimes I didn’t expect, but never disappoints. I love her ability to recognize a special or unique piece that I already own and incorporate in a way that shows she’s in touch with the essence of her clients. I can’t wait for the next project!

Kristen was a a perfect fit! After an unsuccessful attempt to brighten up our family room with a new wall color of my choosing ( that paint really didn’t seem so yellow on the swatch!), we decided to seek professional assistance. The first inquiry was about as successful as my paint selection – looked good on paper, but not a good match in real life. In addition to wall color, the room needed new carpet and upgraded seating. Luckily, I read about another family’s experience working with Kristen to select a sofa, and decided it was worth another try. From the start, she demonstrated a clear understanding and commitment to our style, scope and budget. And, her enthusiasm and vision for the space helped us to trust and enjoy the process. With just a few changes, the space has become a favorite gathering place for friends and family. My only regret is that I waited so long to do it!

Kristen has such an incredible and unique eye for design. She’s great at problem solving different design challenges and finding ways to improve, and even make you love, spaces that were previously very difficult. My husband and I also agree on very little. With her creativity, and an abundance of patience, she was able to bring both our visions together and completely transform our condo into something we couldn’t love more. And the fact that she’s so much fun to be around is icing on the cake!

Kristen was a fabulous designer from start to finish. I could not recommend her more! We used the Design on Demand package to redesign our living room, dining and sunroom and it fit our needs perfectly. I like to have a lot of input in the design and I can be very picky. Kristen was very accommodating and gave great advice. Her style is amazing and everything she picked out looks great, is comfortable, and gets a lot of complements. She knows all the best places to shop! We will be starting a new basement project and I have called on Kristen again and am looking forward to it.

It was a total pleasure working with Kristen. Our goal was to reimagine our LR and DR-- mostly using what we already own--with color and a few new pieces. Kristen was patient and creative given our limited budget, and we got 2 new rooms in the bargain. The process was fun as well as inspiring; Kristen's sensibility and enthusiasm are contagious. And now I have a newfound sense of adventure when it comes to expressing my style, which I'd temporarily lost. Thank you, Kristen, for helping me to find it, and for creating inviting rooms in which we feel happy and comfortable.

I'm so glad I met Kristen and had her help making my space a fun place to call home. Not only is she a warm-hearted, kind person but she made the process of decorating a difficult space fun and easy. As a result, I have a home where I enjoy spending time because it feels so inviting and serene. I don't think there's an interior designer with better creativity and problem solving skills than her!

Kristen and I have collaborated on many design projects together. Her eye for mixing form and function, her honed design sense and ability to visually reinvent spaces always bring a "wow" factor to every home we have worked on. I especially love the way she marries the modern aesthetic with comfort and livability. Additionally, her warm, energetic personality makes her a blast to work with. If I could give her 10 stars, I would!

Kristen was great to work with and her vision elevated the look and feel of our living room. Her recommended floor layout opened up the space and provided some additional decorating opportunities that we wouldn't have considered. I would highly recommend her!

I've known Kristen for years and she's always had an amazing sense of style - both personally and professionally. Her aesthetic awareness is so spot on; she can walk into any space and immediately identify what is and isn't working. I had Kristen over last week to check out my living room, but specifically, my built in bookshelves. They are a HUGE focal point for that room and I knew I just wasn't getting the look right. I had far too much clutter because I thought more = more. Kristen walked in and knew right away how to clean it up and give it a totally different feel. In a matter of hours, she literally transformed the space into something that made me feel like I could BREATHE. She plucked all the old paperbacks from their places, pruned the sheer volume of knick knacks and added in some really cool pieces that I already had (from other areas in my home), making the space super clean and giving my eye a place to rest. Add to that, she pulled together the components of my living space (it was too spread out and made visiting with guests near impossible), moved some "poufs" to my second bedroom and brought a round ottoman to my dining room and literally gave me a whole new feel in the course of a morning. Later, we went shopping for new accent chairs because the club chairs I have now are far too heavy for the room and she helped me find exactly what I've been looking for. Finally, Kristen pointed out to me that the lighting above my dining room desperately needs an update and with a simple fix, I'm going to have a hip dining room, too. Kristen is one in a million. Now I want her back to help me identify the right colors for my walls. She's genius!
