Catherine Dolen & Associates

Creating spaces that combine beauty and function is the focus of Catherine Dolen’s work as an interior designer. Her personal design philosophy is as follows:

“We are all bombarded daily with the stresses of life. An individual’s surroundings, whether at home or work, should not contribute to that stress. I believe that every space should nurture the people that use it and provide a source of serenity, enabling each person to make the most of living. Space, light, texture, color, and all the other principles and elements of design are the tools that I use to achieve that goal for each client and project.”

Catherine’s credentials and experience guarantee the highest quality of design expertise. That fact, combined with her commitment to the well-being of the client, assures that each project will have the best possible result.

    smittycdm Wow, this is ALL excellent advice! My husband & I needed to rent while we remodeled two years ago. Finding a 2 Bd, 2Bth rental near our house at a "reasonable price" was interesting (eyes are rolling around at the memory.) One fortuitous day, my husband stayed home to take 3 simultaneous conference calls on three phones (acctnts r insane, should be a bumper sticker) & spied a newly posted “For Rent” sign directly across the street. The house happened to be owned by friends of ours, now living in Singapore. So, whoever said you need to check with friends, drive up and down (or get lucky), you were right. The pylon thing is weird.

    jkovacs If it's an apartment complex, insist on seeing the actual unit they have for you. I learned that lesson the hard way after falling in love with the model, but then having to move in to a dump. Even the building they had me in was a dump on the inside, despite the fact that they all looked great from the outside. It was a long six months, but I was grateful I only did a six month lease.
