During those early years, she was fortunate to live with her family and travel to various locations in the United States and Europe. In her chosen career as a law enforcement officer, it was not coincidental that she frequently found herself on any committee having to do with design. Over her 31-year career in law enforcement she helped design police department logos, effective designs for police cruisers, created backdrops for televised media briefings, and many other projects requiring her design skills and branding for the department. Neither was it coincidental that upon retirement she decided to expand upon her life experience and love of color and design and become an interior designer.

I wanted to run my ideas past a design professional who was highly rated, was located nearby, and who offered consultations by the hour. I looked on houzz, and Kim checked all of those boxes. Her advice back then helped me take the design to a whole other level, so there was no question that I would consult with her about my master bathroom renovation this year when I was once again stuck. > > I was turning my brain inside out to figure out details like where the molding trim should begin and end, what tile to use on the shower floor, what kind of backsplash would look best, etc. Her expert tips and calm and confident professional input were reassuring and tremendously stress-reducing. > > Her casual comment about building on the dramatic and organic style of the powder room provided a strong push to get me out of the serene white hole I'd dug for myself. I immediately began looking for a bolder nature-themed wallpaper to replace the soft, pale pattern I'd chosen, and as soon as the right one materialized, the rest of the room fell together pretty quickly. > > I'm really impressed with how well Kim's advice has worked out, even though my house isn't even in her contemporary style specialization. I'm guessing it reflects her great command of fundamental design principles. **Comment from Blue Horse Contemporary Design:** > Friederike, thank you so much for your kind words! You already had fabulous ideas. We were so happy to help with just a little support and advice so you were comfortable in proceeding with your ideas. The end result is absolutely stunning! Congratulations on your beautiful bathroom. It was a pleasure working with you. ### All 21 reviews **★★★★★ — Valorie Brown, Oct. 2025** > In February of this year while I was having my morning coffee and scrolling through Facebook, this picture popped up and I thought what a beautiful color! I absolutely fell in love with the green. I called my good friend and designer professional to help me transform my kitchen. Kim of Blue Horse Contemporary Designs and her assistant Christine made all my dreams come true with her excellent ideas and her utmost patience. Her team of talented contractors were very respectful for the people and dogs in the house and the other rooms. They were able to minimize the construction dust that comes along With any project. At the end of every day, they cleaned up their workspace and kept their tools out of your way. Kim has excellent taste and I’m so happy we were able to work together on my kitchen renovation!!! Now onto part two the family room!!! **Comment from Blue Horse Contemporary Design:** > Val, thank you so much for your thoughtful review! It was truly a pleasure working with you to bring your vision to life. Your trust in the process and openness to creative ideas made the collaboration both seamless and inspiring. I’m so glad the final design resonates with you. > Christine and I are grateful for your trust and collaboration throughout the process. We’re also so glad to hear that the team’s care and attention to detail made the experience smooth for everyone in the house (including the pups!). Your appreciation means the world to us. > We can’t wait to dive into part two and make the family room just as special. Let’s keep the magic going! **★★★★★ — dearynadyne, Aug. 2025** > We worked with Kim and Christine from Blue Horse Contemporary Design to assist with our kitchen design and color selections. We wanted to do most of the work ourselves, and really just wanted help with picking styles, finishes, and color coordination, which had felt overwhelming as we liked so many different options! Blue Horse Contemporary Design made the process easy and fun. We loved their ideas, enjoyed bouncing thoughts back and forth, and even found ourselves chatting about other projects along the way. > They left us with a solid plan, including: > 2 layout options we are considering > sample materials and colors for every part of the project > pictures of options for fixtures/knobs/handles/faucets that we had discussed > and... most importantly, an invitation to contact them if any questions or problems come up. > We would not hesitate to work with them again; it felt like having friends come over who knew you and what you liked! **Comment from Blue Horse Contemporary Design:** > Thank you so much for your kind and generous words! It was an absolute pleasure working with you both—your enthusiasm and openness made the design process feel like a true creative partnership. We loved exploring ideas together and helping you narrow down the options to create a plan that feels uniquely yours. > It’s especially rewarding to hear that our time together felt more like friends chatting than a formal consultation—that’s exactly the kind of experience we strive to create. We’re so glad the materials, layouts, and fixture selections gave you clarity and confidence moving forward, and we’re always here if questions pop up along the way. > Wishing you all the best as your kitchen takes shape—we can’t wait to see it come to life! Send pics! > > Warmly, Kim & Christine **★★★★★ — Helen, May 2025** > I had such a great experience working with Blue Horse Contemporary Designs! From start to finish, Kim and Christine were super easy and fun to collaborate with. They took the time to understand my style and vision, then transformed my living room and dining room with a sleek, modern update. What I loved most was how they incorporated my treasured pieces into the design—everything felt fresh and stylish but still personal. They even went above and beyond by having a custom painting created of one of our happiest places, which really tied the whole space together. Highly recommend! **Comment from Blue Horse Contemporary Design:** > We truly appreciate your kind review. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and bring your vision to life, we are so glad you love your space! We loved helping you incorporate your family heirlooms into the design; that is what makes every space unique and personal. **★★★★★ — HU-862901518, April 2024** > We retained Blue Horse with a basic vision of a project that we wanted to do at the house. They really made the idea come alive handling each and every step of the process with numerous suggestions and ideas that took the impact and success of the project to the moon. Their ability to capture what you can describe and briefly sketch was amazing. I highly recommend them to enhance any area of your home where you have an idea of what you wanted to look like. Blue horse can make it come alive! We could not be happier with their involvement! **Comment from Blue Horse Contemporary Design:** > Thank you so much for your kind comments. We loved working on your project with you. Your project presented an interesting challenge, and we enjoyed being able to stretch ourselves in our art, which was so much fun! We look forward to collaborating with you on your next project! **★★★★★ — michelle\_fraterrigo, April 2024** > Kim has been assisting me with my home from day one when I purchased it. I love how my home has turned out. She has been such a pleasure to work with and I know I will be working with her in the future with new projects. **Comment from Blue Horse Contemporary Design:** > Thank Michelle- I enjoy working with you and look forward to the next project! **★★★★★ — stcohan, Dec. 2023** > Kim does unbelievable work. She is so professional and patient. The project was done on time and right within our budget I have zero design skills, so I leaned quite heavily on her advice, the result is simply beautiful I recommend Blue Horse Contemporary Design very highly! **Comment from Blue Horse Contemporary Design:** > Thank you so much for your kind comments! We really enjoyed working with you on your bathroom renovation. It was a fun project, and we are so happy you enjoyed the process. It would be a pleasure to work with you on any future projects. **★★★★★ — Kristen and Kyle, Dec. 2023** > Kim and Christine were absolutely wonderful to work with! They helped my husband and I with the renovations we were hoping for with our bathrooms along with choosing a paint color for our house interior walls and fireplace to achieve an updated look. We couldn’t be happier with the results! Looking forward to working with them again in the future to tackle our basement. :) **Comment from Blue Horse Contemporary Design:** > Thank you for your kind words! We loved working with you and Kyle on the renovations to your new home - welcome to Virginia!. We are looking forward to the basement challenge!:) **★★★★★ — HU-419257617, Dec. 2022** > I love my new kitchen. The only thing I would change is that I wouldn't have picked black countertops (the black was my choice). They show every speck of dust! The kitchen is beautiful though, and I love the colors we picked out. **Comment from Blue Horse Contemporary Design:** > Yes black countertops can be difficult - they do show everything, as do white:). I’m not sure there is a perfect counter top- they all have their positive and negative attributes. Your kitchen is beautiful and I so enjoyed working with you!! **★★★★★ — wellsai, Dec. 2021** > Kim and Christine are a pleasure to work with! We had never worked with an interior design service before, so we were a bit nervous at first. They put us at ease, worked with our budget and our preferences, and created a master bedroom, master bath, and tween girl's bedroom that we absolutely love! Both Kim and Christine are accomplished artists and it really shines through in their work. We look forward to working with Blue Horse Contemporary Design again for future projects and have already recommended their services to friends. Thank you so much! **Comment from Blue Horse Contemporary Design:** > We thoroughly enjoyed working with you and your family and look forward to the next project! We are so glad you like your paintings:) Thank you so much for the referral!! **★★★★★ — bongiorno441, Sept. 2021** > We had an outstanding experience with Kim and Christine . From the first meeting to the last install they were extremely professional and knowledgeable. They understood what we were looking for and provided exceptional recommendations and service. They were always easy to contact and were open to modifications in design and concept. We are thrilled with the way our kitchen remodel came out! We highly recommend Blue Horse Contemporary Design! We definitely plan to work with Kim and Christine on future remodels. > > Lisa and Phil B. **Comment from Blue Horse Contemporary Design:** > Thank you so much! We loved working with you and Phil on your kitchen redesign. We are looking forward to future collaborations:) **★★★★★ — Friederike Velazquez, Aug. 2021** > Thank you so much for sharing your resources with me. I'm so glad I called you in for a consultation. I was so focused on the shell of the room that I hadn't even given any thought to the mirror and lighting. Now that I've done some research, I've seen some new angles on developing a style and creating a look that hadn't occurred to me before. It definitely pays to talk to a pro. **Comment from Blue Horse Contemporary Design:** > Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to seeing your creation:) **★★★★★ — Monika Metcalf, Jan. 2021** > Our family is so happy with our new interior. Kim worked with us to come up with a new layout and color scheme for various rooms in our house that needed revamping. We enjoy our new layout; everything is so much brighter and more welcoming. She even added her own personal touches by painting a gorgeous canvas for our living room. We've enjoyed having people over to debut our renovation. **Comment from Blue Horse Contemporary Design:** > I am so glad you and the family are happy with your new space and artwork:) I so enjoyed getting to know you all and helping you achieve your vision. It was a fun project! **★★★★★ — ce tb, Dec. 2020** > Kim was so wonderful to work with! She really listened to what we had envisioned for updating our 30 year old kitchen and flooring. She not only offered multiple suggestions to help us find a style that fit our taste and needs, she went out of her way to order materials and make sure deliveries and construction were completed in a timely manor. > Thank you Kim, you took a stressful situation and made it easy and enjoyable! **★★★★★ — michelle\_fraterrigo, July 2020** > I met Kim over a year ago when I was looking for a contractor to remodel my condo (fixer upper). She had put me in contact with someone awesome! After the condo finished being remodeled I then began to start working with Kim immediately and the past year she has helped me design my bedroom, kitchen, living room, and dining room! Because of her I now have a place to finally call home! Thank you so much Kim for all your help with making my place beautiful! I am so happy with the outcome! :) **Comment from Blue Horse Contemporary Design:** > Thanks Michelle, I am so happy you like your beautiful home, I enjoyed working with you. **★★★★★ — Michele Porter, March 2020** > I had a wonderful experience with Blue Horse Contemporary Design! Kim came to my house with samples of paint colors as well as various vanities, mirror, light fixtures and shelving choices. Temo was also very professional and friendly and did a wonderful job! My bathroom looks amazing with an updated and fresh look! I would highly recommend Blue Horse Contemporary Design!!! **Comment from Blue Horse Contemporary Design:** > Thank you Michele. I'm so glad you are enjoying your fresh new bathroom. It was a pleasure to work with you. **★★★★★ — zimmertj1, Oct. 2019** > Kim was very helpful from beginning to end. She had a wonderful contact for the cabinets and the construction crew was timely and did fabulous work. I highly recommend working with Blue Horse Contemporary Design. **Comment from Blue Horse Contemporary Design:** > Thank you so much! You guys were a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — Susan Crosbie, Jan. 2019** > After my kids moved out I needed help making the transition from a 4200 SF multi-story family house to a 1400 SF one-level home. So much of my old furniture would not fit in the new place, and the task of figuring out what to keep and what to replace was daunting. > Kim worked with me right from the start. She helped me choose interior and exterior paint colors for the new house, and we then we selected new furnishings for the deck, living room, and dining room that are perfect for fit and function (and that work well with the pieces I kept from the old house), along with lighting and fixtures that really look great in my new space. I'm so pleased how everything turned out. > I definitely plan to use Blue Horse Contemporary Design when I start work on the bedrooms. > thanks, Kim! **Comment from Blue Horse Contemporary Design:** > It was my pleasure. What a great house to start your new life. Its a perfectly cozy cottage! **★★★★★ — kellymcm, Jan. 2019** > Kim was excellent to work with. She helped me picked window treatments for my home home and nursery. I appreciated that she gave me options that were most practical for the rooms I needed coverage, not just most expensive. I am so happy with the way everything turned out! I will definitely seek her services again and have already recommended her to friends and family! **Comment from Blue Horse Contemporary Design:** > Thank you Kelly! I so enjoyed working with you. I and am here for you anytime. Congratulations on the new addition to the family :) **★★★★★ — Heidi Harrover, Jan. 2019** > My husband and I took on the challenge to design and build a house; I knew in my mind what style I wanted, but did not know what to call it. Kim, at Blue Horse Contemporary Design, thoroughly evaluated my likes and dislikes then helped me make interior trim choices. She absolutely nailed it! During the latter part of our build, the builder made some egregious errors with regard to the kitchen counter tops. She was happy to step in and offer interior design solutions that would satisfy both parties. She also assisted us with window treatments, paint selection, and we will work with her to accent the walls with artwork. We will hire her to complete the living space on the deck, and when we are ready to design the patio/outdoor entertaining area - she will be our go-to. I appreciate her patience, her candor, and that she LISTENS to the customer! I highly recommend Kim - she is a gem. **Comment from Blue Horse Contemporary Design:** > Heidi, thank you so much for your kind comments! I look forward to continuing the process with you both and helping you make your home all that you dream. **★★★★★ — Alaina Morton, July 2018** > My husband and I had such a wonderful experience working with both Monica and Kim. From the very beginning they were professional, understood our vision, and were always easy to get in touch with. > > We had our kitchen remodeled and they made sure we stayed within our budget and ensured the project was completed on time. If we ever need another project completed we would definitely reach out to Blue Horse Designs again! > > Thank you for making our first home one to remember! ## Selected projects - [Green Dream Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/green-dream-kitchen-pj-vj~7709216) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [The Red Transition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-red-transition-pj-vj~7636430) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Contemporary Powder Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-powder-room-pj-vj~7635078) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Southwest Speakeasy](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/southwest-speakeasy-pj-vj~7416111) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [Miami Cool Home Gym Update](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/miami-cool-home-gym-update-pj-vj~7575278) - Location: Manassas, Virginia - Photos: 5 - Description: Our client is starting his new year with a revitalized home gym.
