**★★★★★ — dwleshin, July 2021**

> Our home will be featured in a reputable home design magazine thanks to Kristin.   She worked tirelessly to reuse & reupholster our old furniture, to add new pieces & to place all of it plus our art in our new home.  All of it is breathtakingly beautiful & highly functional. Kristin has a supportive, professional team working with her.  Most of all, Kristin is easy to work with and is understanding of the importance of client involvement.  I participated in every step of the way which makes my home feel like mine.  Thank you to all at Bartone Interiors!

**★★★★★ — Hannah K, Nov. 2020**

> Kristin was great to work with! Throughout the design process, she provided many options for us and helped make our home feel like "us." Her design sense is second to none! She has a great vision for rooms and was able to read the empty space well. Thank you for all of your help!

**Comment from Bartone Interiors:**

> Thank you Hannah! We are so delighted you happy in your home!

**★★★★★ — Jim Force, April 2017**

> I am the general contractor on a large, unique residential project that's being  built somewhat like a commercial building. Kristin was hired by the owner to help with the selection of finishes including cabinetry, flooring, paint & light fixtures. By far the most difficult & complicated of these is the lighting. Kristin has worked closely with the architect, owner, my electrical subcontractor and myself to create a complete package of lighting at an approved cost. Further, she has exercisied due diligence by repeated site visits to confirm the lighting package along with the electrical layout. The same is true for the other finishes. I've found Kristin to be a professional and a pleasure to work with.

**★★★★★ — Richard Gurlitz, April 2017**

> I manage an architectural firm in Chapel Hill North Carolina. We have had the good fortune to be teamed with Kristin on a  contemporary residential project. Kristin's attention to detail, ability to take the architectural scheme and interpret it throughout the interior design, her overall thoroughness, her creative solutions in making sure that the correct products and materials have been selected and are in keeping with the owner's budget has made this project a success.

**★★★★★ — Nicole Kempton, April 2017**

> Kristin really went the extra mile to understand what we were looking for.  By working with her, I am confident that we have saved ourselves a huge amount of time and energy in what can be a very daunting undertaking.

**★★★★★ — Daniela Miteva-Koistinen, April 2017**

> Fantastic adviser for our fixer-upper!
> We've got a house last november that originally is built in 1956 and we needed interior design advisor in order to improve. As soon as Kristin entered the house the ideas were rushing - details neither of us with my husband nor our immediate family coming to enjoy our new purchase were thinking of. Kristin is truly seeing the huge potential of this oldie!
> We are still working - slowly getting where Kristin is guiding us to go and the results are fantastic! Kristin is fantastic - we would not have done it without her help!

**★★★★★ — Sara Skinner, March 2017**

> I worked with Kristin Bartone Interiors to redo our bathroom. Kristin was very professional and a delight to work with.  She was great about working within our budget, and I love the result! Kristin was able to suggest which existing elements we could keep (thus cutting some expenses), and was able to coach me on how to perform some of the work myself.
>
> Kristin's sense of color is excellent. At first I wasn’t sure about some of her suggestions, wondering “should we just paint it a neutral, like white?” but I love the colors she recommended, and the contrast really made things “pop.” In the end, it saved me a lot of time as I wasn’t doing “trial and error,” and just did the work once.
>
> Our bathroom looks totally refreshed, all for a very reasonable price tag!
