Design Consultants in Kutztown

“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.”

“Courtney and I have worked together on several projects. During our time collaborating, it is clear Courtney has the unique ability to turn concept into reality! Courtney always has her eyes on the client's she works with, I would highly recommend partnering with Courtney on your next project, she is a ROCKSTAR!”

“I hired Jere Bradwell from European Home Collection to completely renovate my family room and to update my dining and living room. Jere is now working on renovating my husband's study. Jere is a true professional and the nicest person to deal with. He listens to your ideas and takes them into account when coming up with an overall plan for you. Needless to say, I am absolutely pleased with how Jere has transformed my home. It was important for me to have a home that is warm and inviting to my family and friends. Jere did that for me and more. I would highly recommmend Jere and European Home Collection to anyone.”

“Kim is wonderful to work with--very down-to-earth and approachable. She helped me with several rooms in my house, and I'm thrilled with the results. I wanted furniture and decor that wasn't overly fussy but still looked polished, and would work with my three small children. Kim's suggestions were spot-on.”

“Glenna Stone guided us through the design of a master bathroom suite starting from a completely raw space. Being working professionals we didn't have the time nor the expertise to make the design decisions and coordinate with the contractor for execution. Her expert eye, understanding of the look and feel we wanted for the space and execution made our bathroom our dream bathroom. Overall she saved us time and money and many mistakes that would have made us very unhappy with the space had we tried to do it without a design professional.”

“Kass & Associates Architects has worked with EM Interiors successfully on a number of projects. Our collaborations with Cate & Mia extend back to their work with their mentor Ellen Magen, who had also assisted Dian Boone on some of our early work. EM Interiors adapts to both modern and traditional settings with equal ease and sophistication. We have worked in both urban and country settings. Their method is calm yet assured. It is always a pleasure to work together, with the satisfaction that the results are better than each of us might produce individually.”

“Gretchen is wonderful. I had been wanting to re-do my living area but was afraid to hire someone and afraid to do it myself. By extreme fortune, I found Gretchen. She tapped into my inarticulate needs brilliantly and came up with a truly lovely design that made all my previous fears disintegrate. She also made the process of implementing the design pretty painless. She is a gifted artist and real professional - and yet, worked smoothly with a rank amateur. I LOVE everything about my new living room and dining room. Thank you, Gretchen!”

“Amber is great!!! Her ability to work within a budget, provide realistic goals and ideas made her easy and fun to work with. Her choices of wall color and carpet texture was something I never would have thought of. Now that Ive seen the final product im glad she suggested everything. Shes professional and creative to say the least and I would highly recommend Green Olive Homes to anyone”

“I chose Nina after interviewing 3 different interior decorators, and she's the one who actually looked at me and what I liked instead of what was trendy. She has a sharp eye and good taste. She worked with my budget and was always there to supervise the work being done. I was highly impressed by her professionalism and look forward to working with her for my next project.”

“Adair staged my living room, all in a matter of 2 hours by simply changing furniture placement and angling each piece of furniture in a way that is so inviting and comfortable. She has a talent to use accessories in a way that is useful, not just decorative. I am so very pleased with the results. I didn't know how to move forward after painting my living room and how to incorporate color and texture. Adair did that. She is knowledgeable, attuned to your needs and loves what she does. She also took me on a shopping spree at Home Goods just to be more confident with how to complete a room. So, the learning went beyond my home. I am so grateful for her help! I know she will be there for my next challenge, as I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
