Ann Campbell-Hays

I am almost at the completion of a total house renovation. Karen and her staff are are so easy to work with. Once I gave them what I was looking for they brought many great ideas on wallpaper, paint colors, flooring, hardware, art work and so much more. I love their ideas and thoughts. This is the second time I have used Welcome Home on a project and I would use them again. Highly recommend.

Karen has a great eye for design and has helped clients of my own with their design needs! She's been featured in many design magazines for good reason :)

Thank you Dawn, we always look forward to your referrals.

Habds down, excellent ideas, EXCELLENT CREW!!! Clean, clean up after themselves. As any renovation goes, and although due to the manufacturing challenges, finish date pushed back, by supplier mistakes, etc. Michael, Chase, Jamie, Randy, Brandon were a superb crew. Still missing master doors- 12 weeks out now through Big C error per Michael, missng wall mirrors due to mirror manufacturing finish damaged, mistake on paint color but rectified…overall, a lot was easy to overlook, understandable and worth the patience due to a friendly Michael’s communication. Would have liked to see owner a couple of times between for questions around design choices, but we will not use anyone else if all falls into place at the end.

Karen and Team have been fantastic to work with on our project. We did a complete kitchen demo including removing walls and opening space to create a large kitchen. Karen and her team included us every step of the way. It was seamless to work with her on the design layout and then the transition into the construction of the project. Her team takes care of everything making sure our lives are as uninterrupted as possible during the process. All the workers are nice, respectful, and leave the work site clean each night. They keep you updated on the status of the project and are always available to answer questions, We've had a great experience and look forward to working with them again.

Welcome Home Design group was amazing to work with! Karen made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. We gave her a Pinterest vision board and she designed the most amazing kitchen for us. It was so fun to work with Karen on the entire process from picking out the tile, cabinets, countertops etc. to working with her construction crew. They were a great group of guys who worked efficiently. We will be working with Welcome Home Design group for all our future home projects.

Very nice choices. Listened to our wants and needs and changes. Had their own construction group, so there was no effort on our part. The construction was very good. They came through as well as possible during this Pandemic and stayed in touch to keep us informed. Very happy with our new kitchen, dining and living rooms! It was fun!

Working with Welcome Home Design Group was a pleasure and effortless! I first was introduced to Karen, the owner, by our builders. Welcome Home Designs was their preferred vendor here in St. Joseph, Michigan. Karen , I found out , is both an Interior Designer & an Architect. I am also an Interior Designer. As you can imagine we became fast friends. We had an architect draw our plans for our home but parts of my kitchen & master bath I wanted tweaked. Karen did an outstanding job of putting that together and she understood completely what direction I wanted to move in. Her staff have always been extremely helpful, kind & talented in their own right. I highly recommend you stop in for any help you may be looking for to remodel, build , give your home a “facelift” or if it’s time for some new furniture etc. Everything is truly under one roof & you will be well taken care of. Thanks Karen & Staff.

Welcome Home Design Group helped us with interior design services and selection of most of our furnishings for our new home. Karen and her team was able to keep our project on time and within budget. Our family could not of asked for a better partner during the stressful building process. I would recommend Welcome Home Design for interior and exterior design services, product consultation and furniture purchasing, among other things related to building your dream home!!!

My 1929 English Cottage gem needed a designer and construction team who understood and appreciated a vintage home...Karen, Dave and their amazing team became my partners in respectfully elevating this home’s character with 2020 standards and features. I am delighted, and I know the original owners would love it just as much! I cannot say enough about the professionalism and talent of every person I worked with at Welcome Home...they are like family now!

Karen & her team at Welcome Home Design Group are top notch. They helped me bring my vision of our white, modern farmhouse to life. Her team helped with minor changes to plans, picking out lighting, cabinet design & even staged our home with furniture (which they helped with). They are very knowledgeable & have many vendors! Working with Welcome Home Design Group made this building experience easy & one I won’t forget!

Karen and her team helped us re-design bedrooms for our 10 year old twins. She was patient with the whims of the girls and really helped them each realize their individual vision for their”grown up” rooms. She listened to me as far as sticking to our budget and using items that were cleanable, kid friendly and durable enough to last them through their teen years.
