My apartment has been transformed thanks to her creative and collaborative approach to limited urban space. Her selection and use of resources, ranging from access to textiles, accessories and stainless steel to contractors and cabinet makers, all came together with wonderful results in my apartment. > > Karla's talents are reflected in the fact that she has a loyal client following - for me, she is always available as a touchstone and is an invaluable sounding board and resource. **★★★★★ — Kim Mats Mats, Jan. 2015** > It's been great working with Karla and her folks. She really helped us get our new house looking spiffy. She and her team did a whole house design layout and took us through a fairly major cosmetic renovation. Everything from floors to ceiling. > > Karla helped us embrace some of the cool existing styling in our house and update things with a modern flair. We're not afraid of using bold color in our house and Karla was a great match for us in that respect too. > > We're both busy and hav a tendency to get distracted with other projects. Karla helped us focus and make good decisions efficiently. **★★★★★ — eveseattle, Jan. 2015** > Karla helped refresh my kitchen and living space, as well as a powder room. She offered clear and firm yet flexible guidance, offering just enough choices to be fun, but not overwhelming. We worked collaboratively on many elements - she is very good at adapting her designs and recommendations to suiting the client and is not one to insist on her own vision. I really enjoyed the process and the give and take. For example, as the project evolved, Karla got to know my budgeting criteria and adapted accordingly. > > I LOVE my new space and relish it daily!!! Thanks to Karla for helping me step outside of my usual habits and creating a fresh, bright, welcoming home! **★★★★★ — mbridges, Jan. 2015** > I have worked with Tewes Design for many years and over numerous interior design projects. Karla is incredibly gifted at seeing the utmost potential in a given space. She, at times, found better solutions than the architects that we hired for the projects. Tewes Design not only designs beautiful and stylish homes but also homes that are practical and can be lived in. Karla also appreciates how a family with small children use a space and designs with the families' needs in mind. Tewes Design knows how to mix "high" end pieces with "low" end pieces that not only save on the overall budget but create an interesting mix of eclectic pieces in a home. Karla is an amazing designer, and I highly recommend her interior design firm. **★★★★★ — jillinkers, Jan. 2015** > Karla and her assistant have been great to work with. I have used their services for renovation design and for furniture/room design. Karla has listened to our needs and desires and has done a good job of creating the kind of environment we want to have. Not all of the vendors she has used have been top notch-- we have had some problems with some of the items though each issue has been quickly addressed. We continue to work with Tewes Design and really enjoy the working relationship. Karla's sense of color is spot on and her ability to blend pattern and texture is unique. We feel like our home is a reflection of us, not a carbon copy of others and not driven by Karla's preferences. We appreciate that she respects our budget, timeline and taste. We highly recommend Tewes Design! ## Selected projects - [Seattle Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seattle-modern-pj-vj~819210) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Madrona Redo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/madrona-redo-pj-vj~819284) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: This project was a gut renovation that the client sold so the photos are all staged but the space planning and redesign was my work. - [Santa Fe Oasis](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/santa-fe-oasis-pj-vj~819209) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Seattle Loft](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seattle-loft-pj-vj~47267) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Spa Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spa-bath-pj-vj~819211) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Central Park West](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/central-park-west-pj-vj~819193) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 [See all 6 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/tewes-design-pfvwus-pf~629234989) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/174436405/list/wish-list) — 3 ideas - [stetson](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/2138737/list/stetson) — 10 ideas - [david](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/1262116/list/david) — 7 ideas - [color](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/401169/list/color) — 2 ideas - [kids rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/286876/list/kids-rooms) — 21 ideas [See all 5 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/ktewes) ## Community Q&A **Q: Where is the end table from?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: It was custom made from plexicraft. ;) **Q: Hi where can I purchase the vanity?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: this was made by a local cabinet maker in seattle. **Q: Paint** *(in Photo Questions)* Cream color ?
