Home & Cottages

I hired Kathryn to redecorate my condo and I am over the moon happy with the results!!! She made it virtually effortless on my part. She listened to my ideas and added loads of hers and made all my wishes come true. Kathryn designed the most beautiful fireplace with shelving and lighting and hired a top-notch contractor to build it. It is now the central feature in my open concept living, dining, office, kitchen space. She sourced sofas, tables, chairs, a cabinet a desk, carpets, bedding, cushions, decorative pieces and lamps for me...all I had to do was tell her which ones I liked. Being an artist Kathryn revamped a dresser and an armoire by giving them a coat of paint and a distressed look to add to the eclectic feel I was after. Her tasteful decorator came out in her when I left her with job of taking my personal collectibles and sprinkling them around the condo. She even hung my artwork, creating two gallery walls with the art I have collected in my travels. Her partner, a metal work artist, created two amazing console tables for me as well, using rebar which happens to be the business I am in :) I honestly cannot say enough about Kathryn's professional skills and talents as a designer. She really listens to the client, knows where to source quality products, is very creative, efficient, practical, and detailed. I also cannot say enough about her as a person. She just cares so much about making people happy! I came away from this experience with a gorgeous new living space and a new beautiful friend!!

I purchased a house on the beach in Nova Scotia that looked more like an old outdated farmhouse than a beach house. I could not find a fit with anyone in the area to help me create the beach house of my dreams. Then I found Kathryn in Edmonton. From the other side of the country, she designed and created a space that is fitting for myself, family and guests. Im still not sure how she did it without ever stepping foot in the space but with measurements and pictures she created magic! Voila... it was all delivered on time and each piece of the puzzle fit! Thank you Kathryn! I am now at the start of a new build in St. Albert and am thrilled to have her laugh, patience and number one honesty! She is one of a kind!

We have worked with Kathryn for a few years now on some projects regarding furnishings and accessories for our high rise condo in downtown Edmonton. We have really enjoyed working with her and found her professionalism to be exemplary. She has an inherent sense of what works and what doesn't, and has a "great eye" for colour and shape. We have recommended her to a number of people, some of whom live in our building and are looking for similar advice. We have no hesitation in giving her our highest commendation.

Kathryn did excellent work designing and furnishing our new (older) home. Her evaluation and advice was timely, she followed up on all issues, and helped us coordinate our sometimes disparate tastes within an achievable vision . She also incorporated old items that were extremely important to us in unique and tasteful ways. We are enjoying our home immensely and would not hesitate to recommend Kathryn, and wish Home & Cottages great success!
