KJ Designs did a complete home remodel, and we are still in awe of the special touches that Kathleen did. All communication was done from emails, texts and calls, as we were moving from out of state. She took our family lifestyle into consideration and made a house into a beautiful home. She went above and beyond our expectations. KJ Designs is efficient, detailed and Kathleen is amazingly talented.

Working with Kathleen has made our lake house renovation go as easy as it gets. She communicates very effectively, consistently follows up with the contractors and has great ideas. In fact, when my wife and I do not agree on any particular item. we have taken to just saying “Let Kathleen decide!” What we learned is that when you work with a professional with Kathleen’s judgement and sense of aesthetic the more we left decisions to her, the better we liked the result. I enjoyed this project more than any other I have done.

I own a 1920's Gardener's cottage that was once part of a country estate, run down and falling apart at the seams, unlived in for many years. After making the structural repairs, I needed someone to come in and take over the project, creating what I hoped would become a magical guest hideaway. I had seen several homes that Kathleen Schippers had renovated and I fell in love with her work. She has a wonderful sense of space and color, creating rooms that invite you in. I wanted someone who could make the space practical and feel lived in, while at the same time creating an excitement and beauty for my family and guests. Kathleen did it all! The project was finished in a timely manner and on budget. My expectations were exceeded and now everyone who walks into the cottage is absolutely wowed. She has blended the old with the new, and though it retains all the charm of the 1920's design, it softly brings in some contemporary elements as well. As soon as you walk in the front door, you feel as though you have entered into this beautiful space, but you totally feel at home. Best of all, Kathleen has a down to earth style that makes you feel so comfortable when you're working together. She listens and incorporates what you are hoping to create into her method of design, and you feel very much a part of all the planning and decisions. Kathleen made doing this project fun, and that in itself is a testimony to her work.
