**★★★★★ — Andrew & Melanie Doubroff, May 2016**

> Words cannot express to define what an amazing, professional, thorough and beautiful job performed by Ms. Kimberley Bryan.  Our home is a creative extension of both my husband and myself and we've put our heart and soul into every square inch.   Kimberley beautifully captured it all both articulately in her article and vividly in her photography.    Her presence brought such grace and poise, and her genuine interest and appreciation of the decor, design, and history of our home instantly created a strong, warm and friendly bond.  Without reservation or hesitation, we highly recommend Kimberley Bryan!!!  Bravo Kimberley!  Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

**★★★★★ — cj don, March 2016**

> Kimberlye Bryan interviewed my husband and I for a recent article about our home in Houzz. She was very professional from start to finish. She communicated what to expect for the shoot, she was organized and very relaxed and friendly during the shoot. We were a little nervous about the idea of opening up our home but Kim made us very comfortable with the whole process. We have enjoyed it. Thanks KIm!

**★★★★ — kimberlytaylor, Oct. 2014**

> I really enjoyed working with Kimberley Bryan.  She was professional and was always clear on what she needed, punctual with her visit and a great communicator.  She was able to see things in our home that we don't see living here day to day.  She is a fabulous writer and really captured how we feel about our home.

**★★★★★ — admadab, Sept. 2014**

> Working with Kim was a complete pleasure.  We have a large family and she was respectful of our busy schedules and tried to find a time that was convenient for us.  She was so complementary and kind and we felt like we were just having a friend over for a casual visit rather than having a professional photo-shoot.   But she was very professional indeed and the pictures were beautiful.  Before she came, my husband and I fretted that we were not "Houzz worthy", but Kim made us look like we were!  I loved the experience.

**★★★★★ — Jose Gomez, Sept. 2014**

> Houzz sent Kimberley to photograph our home for a featured article on the Houzz website.
> She was very respectful of our home and the photos came out amazing. Thank you for such an awesome job. You rock!

**★★★★★ — Heather, July 2014**

> I had a wonderful experience when Kim photographed and wrote an article about my home. She really listened to my concerns and was considerate to my wishes. She continued to follow up when readers had questions and emailed me if my input was needed. She was such a professional and I would work with her again in a heartbeat.

**★★★★★ — ScottFaulknerDESIGN, May 2014**

> Kim visited our house, shot the photography, and wrote the story addressing the history and our remodel as well as experience living in the mid-century house for HOUZZ (http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/10242971/list/My-Houzz--Original-Drawings-Guide-a-Midcentury-Gem-s-Reinvention). Kim was professional in every way, courteous, patient, noticed detail, and communicated well. I'd highly recommend her for any photography and/or writing.

**★★★★★ — amyockerlander, May 2014**

> Ms. Bryan reviewed and photographed our home for Houzz.com in March of 2014.
> Personally, I have always had a sense of trepidation in regards to making our "remodel story" public but Ms. Bryan allayed my fears and addressed my concerns before we ever met. After talking with her, I was very excited to welcome her into our home and am absolutely satisfied with the results!
>
> She listened to our story with sensitivity and enthusiasm. She presented our home in words and in photographs just as I would have hoped for, without pretense and quite truthfully. She worked around our four barky dogs (!) calmly and with an unflappable positiveness. I truly enjoyed her visit with us and look forward to her return to document our garden.
>
> I believe Ms. Bryan has the gift and skill needed for presenting the unique qualities of a home and a creative project. Her professionalism is outstanding and her photographs are beautiful. She is a careful and sympathetic listener as well as a keen observer. I recommend Ms. Bryan highly and without reserve!
>
> Amy Ockerlander, Seattle

**★★★★★ — mtpickerel, May 2014**

> Kim did an excellent job from her introductory letter to finishing our project . She did an excellent job informing me on how to prepare our home for her arrival and what to expect from her visit .
> She was easy to work with and moved from room to room without disrupting our Sunday " family day " , if anything , she contributed to the fun around the house , making some great small talk with our 5 year old daughter and might have even sparked an interest in photography for her .
> We were really impressed with the photos and descriptions of our home that appeared on Houzz just a few days later .
> She even went above and beyond by sending us a few photo out-takes and some good follow up emails .
> We really appreciated the opportunity to share our house and our interests with the public and all of your readers , fans and followers .
> We also really enjoyed all the feedback we received , almost all of it positive . When one comment took a negative tone , Kim came to our defense in a very friendly and diplomatic way that changed the tone of the conversation back to a positive one and we really appreciated NOT having to defend ourselves or the photo feature . Thank You Kim for making that easy on us !
> All The Best , The Pickerel Family

**★★★★★ — Melissa Rice, Sept. 2013**

> I hired Kimberley to help me with a refresh of my living room.  I had a very limited budget which she was kind enough to work with.  I really needed some expert advise on color because my room felt dark but I am a little afraid of trying new colors.  She provided a wonderful color palette and design theme based on our initial discussions.  I was able to work with her remotely using a secret Pinterest board to co-source materials for the refresh.    She was great about staying on deadline!  It was my first experience working with a design professional so I was a bit nervous but came to realize quickly that I was in very good hands.  My new living room has an open more modern beachy vibe along with accents that reflect my love of travel.  I couldn't be more pleased with the result and plan to use Kimberley's services again in the future.

**★★★★★ — 1spud, Sept. 2013**

> Kimberley designed our daughters’ bedrooms brilliantly, precisely transforming white walls into a canvas illuminating each of our daughters’ spirits!  She worked soundly with existing items, budget, and laymen all the while educating and encouraging us to think differently.  Our girls are thrilled with the outcome, as are we.  Thank you Kimberley!

## Community Q&A

**Q: where’s that lamp from?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Lamp

A: Hi there. The lamp is Room &amp; Board; lamp: Arco.

**Q: what is the aqua wall? Is it tile, PVC panels???  Thanks** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the material used or the aqua wall? Is it tile, PVC panels??? Thanks

A: Hi there. It's a textured wall panel. It was in place when the homeowners purchased the home, so unfortunately I don't have the make.

**Q: Color Combo** *(in Photo Questions)*

I love the feel of this house.  I know it was a long time ago, but any chance you recall the red and green paint colors you used?  Either way, well done.

A: Hi there. I worked as writer and photographer for Houzz's feature on this home.  Here are the paint colors the owners used:  Exterior paint: Heritage Red (MoorGlo finish), Benjamin Moore; trim: Heritage Chrome Green (MoorGlo finish), Benjamin Moore.  --You're right: they're a wonderful combo and the home looked great.

**Q: Hello, what are the paint colors?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hi what are the paint colors on this house? Thanks!

A: Hi there.  All exterior paint by Sherwin-Williams: Lemon Verbena SW 7726 (lower portion); Koi Pond SW 7727 (upper: portion); Caviar SW 6990 (window trim); Crème SW 7556 (trim,)

**Q: Did anyone ever track down the plans and dimensions for this swingset?** *(in Photo Questions)*

It's so pretty, and I'd love to build something similar.  Thanks!

A: Hi There. I was the writer and photographer for this piece. Unfortunately I do not have the swingset plans information. This was a very handy, DIY family, so it's possible they designed it themselves.

**Q: what type of flooring was used in the Kitchen and where can I puchase** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hi there. I was the photographer and writer of the piece on this home. I believe the floors in the kitchen were original to the home. The rest of the floors on the main floor came from reclaimed high school bleachers which were then stained a uniform dark stain. You can read about the entire home here:
