### Featured Review

**★★★★★ — Christina Janiga, May 2020**

> Kristina truly knows how to capture the heart and soul of a home.  She staged a beautiful coastal home and was able to bring the home to life whether it was creating a “lived in” kitchen to the other living spaces coming to life with a perfect mix of modern and antiques. She has the ability to bring old world charm to modern times which is not easy and also you don’t see with other designers. The entire project was managed flawlessly and the attention to detail was another attribute that is not always easy to find. I highly recommend HH for your next project!

**★★★★★ — Liz Satterfield, July 2020**

> Kristina was a joy to work with.  She listened to our needs and what we wanted for our space.  She helped us create a mood board that fit our style and incorporated some of our current pieces.  She was also able to work with our budget and offer higher and lower end alternatives.  The floor plans and mood boards she provided helped my husband and me better form our joint vision.  Kristina also quickly responded to feedback, providing other options for pieces that didn’t fit our style and color palette alternatives, so we could better visualize our choices.  She also was able to promptly resource pieces that were no longer available by the time we were ready to order.  I truly felt that we were able to work as a team to craft a beautiful space.  I highly recommend Hart Habitats!

**★★★★★ — Lucy Watts, May 2020**

> I had a wonderful experience working with Kristina on the 38 project, her design ideas and concepts were fantastic, she helped me to find and create the space that i had in my mind and bring it to life.
> Kristina was very professional yet personable, I would definitely use Hart Habitats again.

**★★★★★ — Mark Trapin, May 2020**

> My Team and I listed a property in Pasadera and we needed to get the property staged ASAP. Kristina came recommended from a colleague and although we have never worked together before, she was extremely responsive and professional and was able to complete the staging very quickly. She worked with some items that were already in the house and brought her own items to make the place look great. I would highly recommend using Kristina for any home staging needs. Mark Trapin, Sotheby's International Realty.

**★★★★★ — Vilia Gilles, May 2020**

> Kristina, with her company, Hart Habitats, performed magic in staging a very challenging home that I had listed.  She has an incredible talent for assessing a space and knowing how to make it inviting.  Kristina worked tirelessly to meet our strict deadline and got the job done quickly and beautifully.   I highly recommend this company for all your interior needs!
