Katharine listens..whether you have your own vision or you need her input, she executes the mutual plan. She has great resources, a great eye and a friendly manner. She works quickly and is totally responsive in all ways. She is totally present in all aspects of the project and we were delighted with our end result. We will use her services again to continue our home projects.

It has been a pleasure working with Katharine Rhudy in renovating our kitchen and family room. She is enthusiastic and creative with a fabulous eye for detail that brings a fresh perspective to every project. Yet she is respectful of her clients' ideas and very solicitous of their time and money. She is skilled in managing a large project, well-organized and capable of marshaling a host of contractors to complete work on time and within budget.

Highly recommend working with R&A interior design! Their knowledge and expertise is truly 2nd to none. Their ability to listen to your thoughts and execute on your vision is a true gift, and hard to find!

What a huge difference consulting with you has made in my living space. I value your ability to listen, embrace what I like and don't like, provide viable options, suggestions and honest feedback. "The plan" we discussed is being implement, and I am very pleased. Thank you.

My three room project with Reed & Acanthus was extremely successful. Katharine Rhudy quickly understood my taste and lifestyle and created a beautiful new transitional look for my recently renovated home. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and timely execution of the design plan was perfect.

Katharine Rhudy and Reed & Acanthus helped us with a long overdue update to our summer home. We wanted something low maintenance, child and pet friendly that reflected our casual beach style. Her recommendations were spot on from removing old carpet and installing hardwood floors to using much of our existing furniture and reupholstering, instead of replacing, sofas and chairs. The result was amazing ! A clean, bright and sophisticated look that reflected our taste and style. Katharine is creative, professional and very fun to work with. We highly recommend Reed & Acanthus!

Katharine Rudy of Reed & Acanthus is the consummate professional. She listened to my thoughts, and sought to create an environment reflecting my tastes rather than an easily recognizable signature decorator style. She was relentless in finding or helping me find the perfect fabrics. Her eye for color and texture is uncanny. She worked with my existing pieces and brought in a fabulous updated look I am so proud of. Her tasks included paint and fabric choices, as well as furniture and art placement. She excelled in all, while keeping a constant eye on cost. But I think most importantly, her ability to give an opinion, educate and encourage me so that ultimately I made all decisions with her support and experience, solidified Ms Rudy as a top tier interior decorator. I will most certainly use her again and recommend her highly and without reservation.

I have worked with Katherine and Reed & Acanthus on many projects over the past few years. She is talented, organized and professional. By listening closely to her clients, she is able to articulate their vision and needs with new and fresh ideas. With a discriminating eye and keen attention to detail, she creates elegant and timeless spaces regardless of project size or budget. She is very easy to work with and I look forward to future collaborations.

Katharine decorated our Vero Beach Home and we could not have been more pleased! She has a great eye for both quality and value and was able to take our ideas and translate them into a much better reality! She co-ordinated everything--perfect paint colors, floor coverings, furniture, fabrics, and many fabulous accessories. Katharine's integrity and professionalism is apparent at every turn, but most of all results were fabulous, on time and on budget! We are currently planning our next project with Katharine!

Anne Ruthmann Photography

As a photographer, I have the privilege of working with a lot of different designers and seeing how they translate space and objects into an overall design. Katharine of Reed & Acanthus has a deep talent for curating special treasures from all periods of time and styles into a cohesive design that feels fresh and modern while still honoring classic traditions to create spaces that will stand the test of time. For example, when documenting a home in which the homeowner did not want to change old wallpaper or carpet, I was very impressed with how Katharine worked with that challenge on a design level with furnishings and accessories to make the space feel fresh and new even though some large room elements needed to stay the same. While preparing each space for photographing, it was also obvious that a lot of attention to detail, texture, and quality was given to all of the furnishings and fabrics in each room. Pieces weren't chosen just for looks, but also for their excellent quality and ability to stand up to the wear and tear of time.

Katharine helped us make updates to several rooms in our New Canaan home. She suggested changes like wall color, lighting and floor coverings and was able to make our home look fresh and new by reupholstering and adding quality pieces and art to our existing pieces. She is a pleasure to work with-we highly recommend! Mary Kay
