Along Came Lennox

We found ourselves with a remodel project that would have completely overwhelmed us. Not being design oriented, I wasn’t sure how to begin and knew that casual design advice from friends would not be enough. Kara and the Along Came Lennox team helped me iterate through to what kinds of styles, colors and feel that we liked and wanted for our spaces. They were always attentive, respectful and enthusiastic about our preferences, never trying to push us in a direction that was not for us. At the same time, they are professionals and helped develop our ideas with a solid visual / design framework, rationales for their suggestions, new ideas, and expertise regarding quality suppliers. ACL also worked well with our building contractor at the point where attractive design meets actual usage, and the practical aspects of designing a livable space (e.g., fixture heights, door clearances, room flow, etc.); I was very grateful for their experience and guidance in this area as well. Dare I say that ACL made a process I was dreading kind of fun? I think I just did! I recommend their services without hesitation.

Kara is a delight to work with. She's organized, creative, and very responsive. I've worked with several designers and Kara is hands down the easiest and most transparent designer to work with. She helped me design my children's bedrooms plus a bonus room and they are all fun and elegant.

Kara and team were absolutely incredible to work with on our recent remodel of our home. What initially was an addition and kitchen renovation, turned into a complete rebuild. Her patience, experience, vision, and warm personality made the process feel so reassuring. Her team had great ideas and wonderful attention to detail. Highly recommend!

Hiring Cara was, without a doubt, the best decision we made for our recent renovation. She is a truly exceptional interior designer, and we love the space she created for us in every single aspect!! Cara completely transformed our living room, dining room, and kitchen. What stands out the most is how intuitive and skilled she is: she didn't just deliver beautiful, professional designs—she worked to understand our family and our needs to create spaces that feel authentically ours. Every color, texture, and fixture feels perfectly tailored. Beyond the stunning results, the entire process was seamless and enjoyable. Cara was professional, incredibly easy to work with, and handled every detail with such care. It made what could have been a stressful experience feel collaborative and exciting.

We’re a family of three with a 7-year-old daughter and had lived in our home for four years when we realized it wasn’t as functional or inviting as we wanted—especially when it came to hosting. The spaces never quite felt cohesive or finished, and our daughter didn’t really have a room she could comfortably play in. I had been following Kara on social media since we moved in and was always drawn to her design aesthetic. I reached out to see if she could help reimagine a few of our spaces. Even though it wasn’t a full-scale design project, Kara welcomed us as clients with enthusiasm and care. She was attentive, thoughtful, and truly listened to our goals. I kept saying I wanted our home to feel warmer and more comfortable, and Kara delivered. We went through a few iterations of the design, and she consistently took our feedback to heart. When I came across a piece I loved, she found ways to thoughtfully incorporate it, always with an eye toward maintaining the integrity of the overall vision. We trusted her expertise, and it showed in the final result. Kara’s team was also a joy to work with—responsive, communicative, and proactive. They kept us in the loop about shipping and delays, and even coordinated an on-site repair for a seam on our new sofa when an issue came up. We truly enjoyed the entire process, and we’re absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out. Kara is not only a talented designer but also warm, approachable, and—bonus!—someone I now consider a friend.

I recently completed a large remodel of my home, and I can't say enough positive things about the experience I had with Kara and her team. From the very beginning, she was incredibly thoughtful and took the time to truly understand my vision for the space. She was incredibly receptive to my feedback throughout the entire process, and always made sure I felt heard and understood. The end result is simply stunning. Kara has an incredible eye for detail and a talent for creating spaces that are both beautiful and functional. My home is now not only gorgeous, but it truly feels like a home – a warm, inviting, and personal sanctuary. She also made the entire process a tremendous amount of fun. I'm so grateful for her expertise and guidance, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to transform their living space.

Kara is the best! We decided to remodel a Napa home and take it to the studs, and Kara was nothing short of a miracle worker, helping us understand our style, pick finishes, colors, furniture, art- you name it. Working with Kara was wonderful, she is so thoughtful in her decision making- it was like working with an old friend which was so appreciated during a process that could have been so overwhelming. We love our home that she helped us to create.

Kara and her team transformed our house into a home. With iterative conversations about style preferences, mood, and specific piece selections, the process felt seamless and thoughtfully crafted. I cannot recommend Along Came Lennox more highly. All our friends compliment us on our home interior design, and I come home every day to a home that feels perfectly like us.

I can’t say enough about Kara and her team!! They turned a dated townhouse into our wine country retreat. We were not in town while the work was being done, but they worked seamlessly with our contractor and kept us constantly updated. No detail was overlooked. We continue to be blown away every time we walk in the front door! Would highly recommend!

Kara and the Along Came Lennox team are absolutely incredible. They helped me long-distance with my primary bathroom & bedroom remodel. They listened to what I envisioned for the space guidance and selections brought my dreams to life. I cannot recommend working with this enough!

Where do I even begin? We set out to redesign a very outdated tasting room on the Sonoma Plaza and soon realized we were way over our skis. We called in the big guns, aka our savior Kara. She listened to the opinions of way too many cooks in the kitchen and executed flawlessly. With the dream of an Italian yet modern vibe, she nailed every single task we threw at her. Our family could not be more amazed and impressed with her over-the-top work ethic, eye for aesthetics, and true craft. Do not look any further, Kara will deliver on any project you put in front of her and exceed your expectations. We are so lucky to have found such a gem to help us create a lasting legacy for our family wine brand.

I've worked with Kara a few times over the past five years, and she has always blown me away with her talent. She recently worked on our kids’ playrooms and bedrooms, and they turned out AWESOME! She was super creative with the space—like designing a loft bed that made my daughter’s room both fun and functional. The decor was perfect too, exactly what we wanted. Kara has such a great eye for detail and always manages to combine style with practicality. Plus, she’s easy to work with, super friendly, and really listens to what we need. I can’t recommend Kara enough
