“Any time someone compliments a whole room in my house, a framed print, accent pieces, even the color of a wall, I say, "Thank you! Kyra/First District Designs did that!" Kyra made beautiful things happen while staying within my budget. She really listened to the overall mood, tone, and effect that I was trying to achieve and made it all happen. She incorporated/worked with so many of our existing pieces of furniture, arranging them in fresh and more interesting ways, and added just the right amount of extra touches as needed. I can't say enough good things. The woman has an amazing eye for great design, and sources pieces that are made well so that they withstand the test of both children (and pets)!”

“I was looking to remodeled my bathroom and looking for a interior designer to assist me with the design of the bathroom. I hired DIH Design to help complete the task. The owner and designer was wonderful. She provided a design plan that was not only beautiful but also fit into my budget. As difficult arose related to our first contractor, Asisat was patient with us and even brought another contractor to make sure we complete the bathroom on time. She even rolled up her sleeves and helped paint just to save me money. I would definitely recommend DIH Design to anyone. I plan on remodeling my kitchen soon, I plan on hiring DH Design. Hire her, you won’t regret it.”

“Where to begin with my comments about Cathleen Curtin, the positive side, or the negative… well, that’s easy! There is no negative, so here are the positives!! Having scaled down a good bit from a larger home, and now residing in my interesting apartment in Old Town, Alexandria, I needed to make improvements and changes that would make this small place my haven. It began with getting bids on a bathroom renovation. Having contacted other architectural services and builders in the area that I knew, I found that the recommendations (and the pricing) were all over the place, and I really couldn’t tell what they were going to do. I also felt that they were not listening to me regarding the need to connect the bedroom space and my master bathroom. From the minute I ran this idea by Cathleen, she “got me” and she listened to me and she responded quickly. Within a couple days of our first meeting, she was back to me with a clear and concise overview and pricing. I was impressed with her level of detail, as well as her efficiency. And, this impression never changed thru out what became a much bigger project. Where the others all were going to expand my bathroom and take away space from my bedroom, Cathleen Curtin was able to give me all that I wanted, AND MORE, in the same footprint – saving money, time and probably a lot of unknown issues in this old building. Her creative use of space and layout resulted in a bathroom that I absolutely love, and others marvel at. Once deciding to work with Ms. Curtin, I realized that I felt safe and comfortable to do more of what really needed to be done to my living space. She gave me that comfort. Having had some experience with such projects in the past, it was knowing that she was not only the Architect, but also the Project Manager, that gave me the confidence to take this on. Always available for questions, and always quick to find solutions to issues as they came along, she drove this project hard and fast, and with a fabulous outcome. The project included not only the master bathroom, but a new laundry room, leveling the floors in my bedroom, insulation where there was none, built in cabinetry that eliminated the need for furniture in the bedroom, re-doing of floors, adding hardwood floors where they did not exist, brilliant storage cabinets, new lighting thru out, a life changing gas fireplace, creative kitchen solutions that make me love cooking again, a very special powder room, and so much more. I am thrilled in my new space – and enjoy it more than I ever dreamed possible. Cathleen was a joy to work with, a consummate professional, a willing ear, a great production manager, and attended to each and every detail of the project. On site every day, often several times, staying ahead of all contractors with selections and materials, and kept me informed with clear and consistent communication. Running a busy enterprise, I needed this style of professional oversight, and feel that not only did she give me a wonderful new home to enjoy, she gave me great service and great value in a time that we often do not get what we expect. With Cathleen, I got more than I ever expected!”

“I engaged Kindra this Spring to help me with updating my entire home. I explained that this would be a long term project, as every room needs to be updated. Our house is a small rambler, built in the 1950s, that felt cramped and crowded. With a small foot print, we struggled to find the right proportions and scale. After our initial consultation, Kindra suggested we start with the main living areas, living room and sunroom. She helped me select hardwood flooring and paint colors to give my home the coastal feel I wanted. Understanding I wanted to maximize my project budget, she has provided exciting ideas on revamping existing furniture, recommended new pieces that don't break the bank, and masterfully incorporated the mish-mash of family pieces my husband and I have collected. Kindra approaches each project in a very organized fashion, providing eye catching vision boards for each room with detailed item lists to choose from. An excellent listener, she picks up on the subtle things to help you achieve the look and feel you want. She is also not afraid to let you know when you might be heading off track. When I asked about incorporating a favorite chair style from my broke college days, she gently explained that it didn't fit with the vision I had shared. A few days later she recommended similar chairs that were more fitting with what I want. Working with Kindra has been a rewarding collaboration. Our home has become a sanctuary, completely unrecognizable from the hot mess it was before. We are looking forward to working with her to update the rest of our space.”
