She is creative, responsive, professional and trustworthy and has great ideas for all my projects, big and small. She recently guided me through purchasing new bedroom furniture and replacing indoor and outdoor lighting. Since the pandemic has made in-person shopping more difficult, her knowledge of quality products and suppliers made this process manageable and fun. Thanks to Kerry, my home is a happy place. **★★★★★ — donna4fish, April 2019** > Our newly purchased "second" home became our main residence and needed some updating. Kerry came to the home and > listened carefully to my concerns, requests, and ideas. We were on somewhat of a limited budget and the house presented challenges with differing floor height and three different hardwoods. We wanted the existing glassed in fiberglass shower converted to a tiled curbless shower. She presented several options for selection in products to be purchased in curtains, carpet, and tiles and bathroom hardware. Everything she did was done keeping in mind, costs, practical application & appearance. She made sure all selections were to my liking and was a great communicator whether via phone or email. The contractor she used for the master bath renovation was the best we've known of from both our own prior experiences and that of friends. I highly recommend Quincy Home. **Comment from Quincy Home:** > Thanks Donna! It has been great working with you two. **★★★★★ — Brenda Williams, Oct. 2018** > Kerry was wonderful and professional to work with and had good design ideas for the unique space. She worked hard to find the right doors, cabinets, lighting fixtures etc, in keeping with the feel of the home remodel. She was prompt and always made herself available! She was attentive to detail and was able to work well with everyone. She had good ideas and lots of patience! I think I gained a friend in the process which is nice to say at the end of a long project! **Comment from Quincy Home:** > Thanks Brenda! What a fun project. I loved opening up your home to new light. The surprises behind Door \#1 and Door \#2 really brought the outdoors in. Creating multi purpose spaces was great as well. **★★★★★ — Patti Grant, Sept. 2018** > Kerry McHugh Upton (DBA Quincy Home) has been wonderful to work with in furnishing my new home. I was impressed by work she did for friends - but she has exceeded my expectations! From ordering and installing window coverings BEFORE I moved in to selecting a new color palate to designing built-in cabinets to selecting new frames for artwork - and hanging it - she does it all. I appreciate the way Kerry works to understand my individual styles and tastes; helps prioritize projects to accommodate needs, budgets and schedules; and has a great network of professionals to call on when it's time to get things done. Plus, she is a delightful person to get to know! **★★★★★ — Ellen Middleton, Jan. 2018** > Kerry and Quincy Home provide great ideas and suggestions while being conscientious of time line and budget. The Packwood remodel was not intended to be so extensive as to require all new kitchen cabinetry, but given the unexpected need, Kerry came up with options that were financially reasonable with the same great aesthetic used throughout the cabin. > Can't say enough about the value provided by Quincy Home on our two projects. This is the second project we have completed with Quincy Home and the 4th interior Designer we have worked with over the last 20 years **★★★★★ — Mike Buehler, Jan. 2018** > I have been the builder on two of Kerry's projects and she has made them look great! Along with a great eye for design she is very pleasant to work with, a true professional, I am recommending her to all my new clients. **Comment from Quincy Home:** > Thanks Mike! Always fun to work with you, your work is exceptional! **★★★★★ — TX Babs, Nov. 2017** > Kerry assisted us in the design and remodeling of a house that had great bones and location, but that did not align well with our style or needs. She was awesome! She was very quick to understand our objectives and was instrumental in helping us to select nearly every design element in the house, including flooring, rugs, countertops, tile, window treatments, paint colors, fixtures and furniture. She has excellent project management skills and a deep network of suppliers and subcontractors. She is a collaborative designer - not the kind who tries to impose her ideas on you - any time we needed to select something, she’d do the legwork to sort down to a handful of reasonable choices then we’d pick. She saved us countless hours. She was mindful of budget and did not push crazy expensive stuff on us. With her advance work we selected furniture for the whole house in 2 hours flat - including fabrics. She also worked extremely well with the contractor and was able to handle decisions on many of the inevitable things that come up in a remodel with a quick phone call or an executive decision. Kerry earned our complete trust on this project. Not only does she have great design skills, but she also is detail-oriented, thorough, punctual and follows through on her commitments. Our house looks awesome and works great because of Kerry! **★★★★★ — Chris Reagan, Sept. 2017** > I don't usually write reviews, but I really felt like I needed to for how much help Kerry provided when we purchased our house. I was a bit overwhelmed when I started looking for interior designers and when I talked with Kerry she made it a point that she understood where my wife and I were coming from and we were looking for someone who would be able to take their time to understand what our needs were. She did just that. > > We were trying to furnish and create a look for our living room and basement. Kerry was professional, on-time for every meeting, and was not in a rush to have us looking for items unless we were ready. As I said above we are new to this whole process and we wanted her to help us make decisions that would be based on our chosen style, and budget. > > I'd recommend Kerry to anyone who needs help in making a room come alive with color and style. She definitely knows how to take your thoughts and make them come to life. **★★★★★ — Leann Reagan, Sept. 2017** > Kerry is absolutely wonderful! Her experience, knowledge, and expertise in home interior design allowed my husband and I to create the home of our dreams! She took the time to get exactly what we wanted by doing her own research and went shopping with us for furniture and decor. She was considerate of our budget and met our deadline. Kerry is such a friendly and down to earth person and made the process easy. She even helped me hang my decor on the wall as I'm currently pregnant and my husband was out of town!! We will be using Kerry in the future for sure. :-) **Comment from Quincy Home:** > Thanks Leann! It was a pleasure to turn your new house into your home! Many happy memories will be created there. **★★★★★ — HU-487383, July 2016** > I have fabricated all of her window treatments, bedcoverings pillows, cushions etc. for 20 plus years. Which also has included projects for homes, commercial spaces as well as private yachts. She is easy to work with and listens to her clients needs and wants. With an outcome that is perfect for the client not a cookie cutter approach. Goes above and beyond to make sure all needs are met. Kerry is and outstanding designer and very honest, with the results being what was discussed upon. **★★★★★ — Don Sordhl, July 2016** > Kerry is a gem. She is a pleasure to work with. She is creative and detail oriented. She works hard to simplify the process for both her clients and her makers and is always professional. **★★★★★ — margaret5646, May 2016** > Because I have MS and require adaptation to my living space I have relied on Kerry Upton to manage my interior design. Her suggestions and management of our remodel included wide doors and hallways throughout our home, attention to special needs in the shower and for the sink, and floors which extend onto our deck that accommodate my wheelchair. She designed a closet that I can access with my wheelchair. She designed a special nook with a full length mirror that stores my chair. The kitchen allows me to move around it easily. The end result is stunning. ## Selected projects - [White Pass Ski Cabin](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/white-pass-ski-cabin-pj-vj~2881379) - Location: Packwood, WA - Photos: 27 - Description: Winner of the Interior Design Society 2017 IDS designer of the Year Award - Sustainable Design, first place and Original Design, first runner up!!

She is originally from Washington, he was looking for more temperate summers. They wanted a home on the water where they could watch the traffic on the water, everything from paddle boards to container ships to whales! They found the perfect home but the style was the complete opposite of what they like. They wanted a casual beach home where they could entertain lots of family and friends both indoors and outside.
