Peaceful Retreat
Our goal for this project was to create a peaceful living space that optimized for outdoor views. The kitchen and family room locations were swapped, which created space for a large beautiful and functional island and new walk-in pantry. A new linear fireplace is the focus in the intimate family room. The master bathroom was significantly expanded and now includes a luxurious steam shower and spa-like bathtub. The master suite has transformed into a peaceful retreat with breathtaking expansive views through new doors and windows.

Client Feedback
"Kate is a truly gifted interior designer who helped us go from envisioning a design to delivering a beautifully finished product that exceeded all our expectations. She transformed our entire home from ordinary to extraordinary! We initially hired Kate to remodel our kitchen but after meeting with her, viewing her 3D concepts, and listening to her suggestions, we asked her to redesign every room in our house.
She has outstanding expertise around space design, materials, color schemes, textures, and vendor selection. She delivered a transformational floor design and layout, giving our home a completely fresh feel and flow. Everyone who has seen our new space has commented on the “peaceful & serene” feeling, which was exactly what we hoping for.
Kate also has a great sense of style, a keen eye for detail, and is a first-rate project manager. She took care of many things we had not even considered! Not only does she play the role of designer, but she also provides completed architectural CAD drawings for the construction company and all vendors to follow. Kate ensures every detail is managed to completion.
We are extremely pleased with the service and knowledge provided by Kate and would recommend her without the slightest hesitation. We truly could not have accomplished this without her!" -- Mey Wong
