Kari Walder Design

Kari Walder helped us create the exact look and feel we hoped and dreamed for. We are truly in love with our "new/old" home thanks to Kari's design sense and creativity. She took our boxed in and terribly dated 1957 rancher with some definite remodel challenges and created a design that we loved and followed to a "T". Kari took an old dated traditional floor plan and opened it up creating new useful and charming space. In the end, we gained a sitting room and a pantry from an antiquated dining room. And our fantastic farmhouse dining room is what was the former dated living room. Our reclaimed farmhouse table now sits handsomely in front of the old brick fireplace. The kitchen now has golf course views formerly hidden by walls of upper cabinetry. Kari guided us to a classic kitchen of soapstone counters, rusted hanging pendants with a reclaimed wood table extension to the island. She caught our farmhouse vision from the start and assured us that her vision would develop beautifully - she was so right. She also assured us of thoughts and ideas we had along the way making the process an easy and fun adventure. Kari provided colors and color schemes, tile samples and photos of what we could expect as well as photos of light fixtures to procure. We could not be happier with the end result. Much thanks to you, Kari Walder!

My Wife and I had never worked with a Designer before. However, when we set out to build a new custom home, we knew we would need one. Kari was able to marry both my style with my wife's, at the same time she keep us on budget (in some instances we came in under budget). Kari was always patient with us and was able to provide us with her input when we couldn't make a decision. We could not be happier with how our new home turned out. We would definitely recommend Kari to anyone looking for a Designer. We look forward to working Kari in the future!

I had never worked with a designer before and was unsure what to expect. I can wholeheartedly say our experience with Kari was fabulous. She has an excellent eye for design. She had no problem working within a budget. She was patient with us when we had a hard time making up our minds. She handled all the communication with one of the vendors when our product didn't arrive as expected, eliminating a big headache for us. She is warm, friendly and down to earth. We highly recommend her!

There are so many wonderful things to say about Kari! She started with us when we were finishing the construction of our dream home. She helped with finishes for the home and really achieved the look we were going for. After moving in, she was so helpful in finding furnishing and decorative pieces for us at a reasonable cost. I am so in love with the way our home turned out! We have a very distinct style that is very different from anything that anyone else does here in Colorado. Kari listened to us and made our dreams a reality, we recommend her highly every chance we get!

Kari was instrumental in our new home design process from day one. Building a custom home can be intimidating for a variety of reasons and we were extremely scared about the translation of our home construction from blueprint to reality. Kari brought an extremely focused work ethic, and she has a gift at interpreting a client's personal taste into a finished product that is visually stunning. She was quick to put us at ease about making big decisions and ultimately made the process of selecting cabinets, stone, paint colors, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, tile, flooring materials, (and on and on and on...) extremely fun instead of stressful. Highly recommend and will use again in the future.
