I needed help in updating our 90 year old family home and furnishings. She made 3 suggestions of people who do leather furniture restoration. She dropped off samples of kitchen floor tiles. She recommended a floor contractor. She encouraged my purchase of a wardrobe. She discussed bathtub finishing. I couldn’t be happier with all her recommendations!

I would definitely recommend working with this designer again. She was organized and arrived on time for appointments and she had good suggestions re style and colors.

Karen is an outstanding designer. She recently designed three bathrooms and a brand new kitchen. In the past she redesigned my family room as well as my living room. It has been a pleasure working with Karen she is accommodating and a very caring person. I have referred Karen to many of our friends who need new designs in their house. I forgot to mention that Karen also designed my 2000 square-foot basement which included a kitchen bathroom,bedromm and tv room.

KWM Designs was easy and fun to work with. Karen understood my vision and took it to a new level of possibility. This was a big renovation project where Karen created a new layout design expanding our master bathroom and closet and created a master bedroom retreat. She selected beautiful finishes and guided me to locations for affordable pricing. We are thrilled everyday with the final outcome of the project. Karen has also provided ideas for smaller redecorating projects which we are also thrilled with the outcome. We highly recommend KWM Designs for big and/or small projects.

I have used Karen for many jobs over the past ten years ranging from remodeling my kitchen to simply redecorating my living room. I could not have been happier with my experience. The quality of her work and her attention to detail is amazing.

I hired Karen to help me transform a formal living room/dining room/kitchen into an open floor plan that was functional and attractive for my whole family. Karen did an amazing job spatially seeing the potential of the room and executing it to perfection. Her professionalism, her work ethic and her relationships with others in the design business all led to the a wonderful renovation of our home!

From start to finish a pleasure to work with. Design suggestions we're spot on with my taste's and contractors she worked with could not have been better and more accommodative to work with. Like any project, we ran into several hidden issues that were quickly overcome with professionalism and high rise expertise from the team and the disruptions of living through a construction site were held to a minimum, which was much appreciative

Karen is the owner and principle designer with KWM Designs. Karen worked with me for a little over one year and she brilliantly guided me through my complete home renovation. She turned by small one bathroom house into a spacious two bathroom house. She reimagined by kitchen to be open with a great flow and to a full wall of cabinets. Karen designed the flow of my basement as well as supported by evert step of the way. Karen's support included going to stores I found to help ensure purchases and products match my budget and our vision. What I liked best about Karen - she allowed by vision to be realized and well as incorporating her design vision. I'll always use Karen to support any renovation! I highly recommend her.
