Starting with what must have been a charity project on a tiny condo redo, then a 5 bedroom house, and my current personal residence. I am almost paralyzed by selecting color choices. This last house had had an artist owner and literally every wal was a different color. She helped me rapidly select a color palette that is perfect for me and found excellent interior painters. I hardily recommend her. **★★★★★ — Sarah McCarty, March 2017** > Kathia was recommended to me by Martha Kerr at Neil Kelly. What a great recommendation! She has a fabulous eye, she studies your taste and makes it better, she educates and she’s a very nice person. Her presentation of her ideas is elegant. I couldn’t be happier with my living area. She selected furnishings, helped with picture placement and with organizing the bookshelves. It was a joy to work with her. **★★★★★ — Robert Epstein, March 2017** > It was a pleasure working with Kathia. She comes up with excellent ideas and explains her thinking clearly to us. We were very satisfied with the outcome of her consultation and beautifying our house. **★★★★★ — Mary Marglin, March 2017** > Kathia Emery is someone with whom I have consulted about design projects for many years. Whether it has to do with a color scheme, textiles, or coordination of accessories, she has always been spot on. Kathia is passionate about her work and has the breadth of knowledge and experience to insure client satisfaction in traditional, transitional or contemporary styles. She is genuinely interested her client's life style and personal preferences and how she can create an interior design that will best meet those needs! **★★★★★ — Barbara Newell, March 2017** > Kathia helped me with everything that needed to be done to bring our home back to the beauty and stature which made it a National Historic Landmark. She found me an architect, designed the remodel and then did the interior decorating which captured the Victorian Italiante feeling. Kathia did such a great job that I am bringing her back to California to do more work on the interior. If anybody is interested in taste and beauty, they have to look no further than Kathia Emery. **Comment from Emery & Associates Interior Design:** > Thank you, dear Barbara! It was a pleasure and a delight working with you. **★★★★★ — Marsha Buono, March 2017** > First rate professional service, great design ideas. Project was three bedroom update. Very pleased with this company designed beach house decor also early 2012. **★★★★★ — mjbuono, Nov. 2012** > Very unappealing yellow brick fireplace in our 1924 home. Emery and associates came with ideas and suggestions. We shopped together for the materials to cover yellow brick. Emery and associates also found very talented tile setter to install face of fireplace and deal with old cracked hearth. > Results are truly lovely. I recommend this firm highly. **★★★★★ — cterr, Nov. 2012** > We remodeled and did a big addition to a house we purchase before we moved in. Kathia did all the interior design work including paint colors, flooring, window treatments, furniture suggestions and layout, and accessories. She took the time to understand our preferences and style. Our home is beautiful and we love it. **★★★★★ — mickiebailey, Nov. 2012** > Kathia Emery transformed my home into a beautiful environment, working with existing pieces of furniture and carpets, and stayng within my budget. She is extremely innovative and artistic, and I would not hesitate to recommend her services. I hope to work with her again in the future. ## Selected projects - [French Flair New Construction](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/french-flair-new-construction-pj-vj~1650000) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Tanner Place](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tanner-place-pj-vj~11528) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 8 - Description: Penthouse condo in the Pearl District of Portland, Oregon.

Thanks!** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This bed is a vintage mahogany king-sized four poster that was manufactured by Drexel Heritage. I found it in a resale shop about 12 years ago, and doubt if it's still in their line, but you could Google "mahogany four poster beds" and probably find something similar. **Q: Where can I purchase the duvet cover?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thank you! **Q: Mirror** *(in Photo Questions)* Beautiful bathroom. Where did you find this mirror? A: The mirror is by Uttermost, model "Fortune," and it's 34" in diameter. **Q: bottom cabinets on the opposite side** *(in Photo Questions)* What color are the bottom cabinets on the opposite side? Is there a picture to show these cabinets? Thanks! A: Hi Robin, I am not a DIYer. The cabinets were painted by my painter, who retired several years ago. If memory serves me, he took the cabinet doors/drawers to his workshop and sprayed them. The finish was a semi gloss. This kitchen no longer exists, having been replaced by my present kitchen more than two years ago. I still don't have photos of it up on Houzz! **Q: What type of can light is that?** *(in Photo Questions)* I like the silver trim on it! A: It's probably Halo, and I usually specify clear Alzac trim. This space has been completely remodeled and those cans are gone and new ones in place! **Q: floor color?** *(in Photo Questions)* Will you please share the color name of the creamy white marmoleum tiles? Are these 12" squares? Precut tiles, or did you cut from a sheet? Thanks! A: Hi Aalang, Sorry, but I don't have that information in my files any more. This project was done in 2005. The tiles are 12" squares, precut. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-23.*
