Christine is beyond awesome! She has incredible vision, and the skill set to make it all come together. We have been so impressed - it is like watching an artist at work! Our home was a remodel project in Iowa, so this was a long-distance gig for Christine! She only came to Iowa once, took lots of pictures and measurements, and she delivered the home of our dreams working with an older home that already had at least two additions back in the 1960's and 70's! Christine is truly special, and talented beyond description!!! And she's lots of fun to top it off!!! She is a masterclass in design, vision, decor and detail. She talks contractor talk and has earned the complete respect and admiration of my contractor and subs! Thank you Christine, and we look forward to another project together some day!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience! It truly means the world to me to know that my work made a positive impact on your space and your life. I loved collaborating with you to bring your vision to life, and I am thrilled that you’re enjoying the results. If you ever need anything in the future, I would be honored to work with you again. Thanks for being such a wonderful client!

Lynn Hoyer

Christine is incredible! She did an amazing job! It was a challenging remodel and we were at a loss in deciding what to do. Christine is far beyond a designer….. she is a visionary project leader that understands every component of a project. She speaks the lingo and knows her stuff inside and out. We have been so impressed and it was a true pleasure to work with her. I love my “new” old home!!!!

Lynn,
Thank you for taking the time to leave me this excellent rating. I appreciate your feedback. Working on your project has been a pleasure, and I'm glad they've positively impacted your home. Please let us know what I can do for you in the future.

Robyn Isaacs

Christine came highly recommended to us, so we partnered with her from the beginning of our new build. She not only guided us creatively during the architectural phase, but was able to find savings for us with her experience in how our design would translate during the build process. To say her knowledge is priceless is an understatement! We would not have been able to create our “dream home” without Christine and her precision in everything she designs. She listened intently to our vision and helped us to achieve and exceed it. And, when I was tapped out on making decisions, she would gracefully step in on my request and knock it out of the park! Watching her manage many aspects of the build made us so thankful that we had her expertise on board. Thank You, Christine, for hanging in there with us from start to finish!

Christine has been the absolute best! When building our home, she guided us through each step and genuinely listened to us regarding our likes and dislikes. She is an excellent designer and has such an ability to take your style and create an entirely unique, beautiful space. We are so very thankful to have had her throughout this experience!

Chris is Amazing! During the remodel of our home, my stress levels were through the roof! So many decisions! Chris helped me through the whole process and was very reassuring by using her unlimited talents and many years of experience. Always on trend, Chris helped me incorporate new style into our home within our comfort levels. Making it “our” home, “our” style! Exceptional designer and person! I highly recommend!

She is Very easy to work with understanding what I needed in my space and came up with an extremely beautiful design. she organized a beautiful color palette helping me through the whole process. From choosing tile, vanities, Faucets, lighting, flooring, tubs and toilets what a breeze. She turned a stressful event into a joyful process for me.

Christine has a vast knowledge of the construction process which gives her an advantage of knowing what products can be used to make the project at hand stand out.

We are building a new home, and Christine’s assistance has been beyond excellent! She pays such attention to detail and has impeccable taste. I cannot imagine going through this construction process without her! She is so knowledgeable about design and construction and completely transparent and ethical. From beginning to completion, she is making our house our forever home.

Christinne consistently exceeded our expectations. The project came in on time and on budget which was remarkable considering that it took pace in a foreign country!! I would highly recommend Chris and certainly plan on using her again.

Thank you, Ben! It was a pleasure to visit and an honor to design your new home in the Abaco region of the Bahamas! I cannot wait to see the outcome. Here's to happy fishing for many years to come because a bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at the office!
