Kansas City, MO Color Consulting Professionals

“Angela was very friendly and flexible with our availability. She was very knowledgeable of the products and really has an acute eye for bringing transitions together from room to room with both color and style. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Angela and would recommend her to others considering interior design work.”

“Cathy and crew refinished which included removing a bunch of wall paper and painted 6 rooms. I will say these rooms did not look this good when new. I still have more to do and will not hesitate to have Cathy do the work.”

“We just completed a complete kitchen remodel with Stumpff Homeworks and could not be happier with the results. Tom and his team were consummate professionals from beginning to end. Among the highlights of our experience are: 1) Worksite behavior: Gutting the kitchen of a 90 year old house is a messy job, but I never found dust and debris outside of the work area. Tom and all of the subcontractors were always respectful of our space and our time. They were also very thoughtful. We had forgotten to take down the door frame where we had measured our kids heights before demo. Of their own initiative, the demo crew carefully removed and saved it for us. 2) Excellent advice: Tom was a great source of advice on design choices, paint colors and practical problems. He was patient and listened to our concerns and helped us find great solutions. 3) Attention to detail: In addition to making sure all the big pieces of the puzzle are flawless, Tom and his team notice and care about the little details, like matching the floor stain or making sure patched woodwork blended smoothly with the existing woodwork. 4) Reliability: As I mentioned above, the Stumpff Homeworks team was very respectful of our time. Tom shows up when he says he will, and did a great job keeping us informed about the project timeline and what subcontractors would be at our house. Stumpff Homeworks created a beautiful new kitchen for us and made the extensive renovations as painless as possible. We would recommend them without hesitation!”

“I have always known what I wanted my paint colors to look like but after buying them, they were not what I envisioned! Katy and Kat were spot on with their color choices for me. Their help has been invaluable!”

“Our mid-century Brentwood home is fabulous! Howard has transformed what many would say could not have been salvaged. He has a genuine love of design and his talents in this capacity will exceed even the most discriminating expectations. Howard literally saved our home, by helping us "bring back" it's mid-century character. Through careful analysis and a keen eye, Howard intuitively knew what should stay and what should go. In most cases he saved rooms that we were told by other designers needed to be torn apart! He accomplished this by simply changing the color and a few fixtures! Howard is a color genius with an eye for detail like no one I haver ever seen. He finds the diamonds in the rough and makes them shine. Yes he is to good to be true. But most importantly he genuinely cares about his clients, their personal aesthetics, and their homes. Thank you Howard from the bottom of our hearts.”

“Beside being a great person, Susan is an outstanding interior designer. She helped me make the decisions that I just didn't have the mental capacity for (paint, tile, etc), and they were always with an intention. She drew up the plans for our new kitchen which has provided us with so much more space and functionality. We are so grateful for her help!”

“We hired Jenny Manka at Manka Interiors for two different projects. The first one was a total master bedroom/bath remodel. Jenny brought in the right contractors and she kept the project moving. She worked with us on re-designing the space and she selected tiles, paint colors, wallpaper, etc. She was spot on with all of her recommendations and we still love everything that we did two years later. Then last year she made almost all of the choices on a basement remodel. We had over 2000 square feet of carpeting and when she first showed us the sample that she had selected we weren't quite sure about it, but it turned out to be ABSOLUTELY the right suggestion. We have learned to trust her ideas. Again, she brought in a contractor who could do most of the job on his own and she was very dedicated to staying within our budget. She turned a 40-year-old, tired looking space into something clean and new and updated. She is particularly good at selecting light fixtures. We highly recommend Jenny and we will definitely work with her on any future projects.”

“Cathy has helped me with several projects in several houses. Her eye for color is amazing and her choices have saved me from repainting several times. She is professional, funny and delightful to work with. As an example of how good she is, she picked out paint, area rugs, draperies, window coverings, furniture, headboards, hanging lights, floating bed tables, accessories, etc. for a house I had in Leawood. We then built a house. The Leawood house sold in 1 day. The new buyers inquired if we would be interested in selling any of our furniture or furnishings. We said "maybe". They gave us a long list and every item was something Cathy picked out. We just sold our house in Overland Park and are moving back to Leawood. She did nearly everything in the Overland Park house. Her website contains several pictures of our house and her beautiful work. That house sold this October in less than 12 hours. She is working with us on the Leawood house now. Most of the “Cathy” furniture from the Overland Park house is coming over but she has helped with tile, paint, chairs, design ... and the list goes on. On the rare occasion when I ask my husband what he thinks about a recommendation from Cathy, he just says "what has Cathy picked out that you didn't like?" He's right. I rely on her advice and then sit back and go "Wow, I love that." My friends used to ask me where I got something. Now they just point to things and say “Cathy?” They know. I know our personal styles are different, but she takes our design choices and style and elevates it where we would never get to. I recommend Cathy to all of my friends and family. I put a date on this review of the most recent project. But, I have worked with Cathy for around 10 years more or less. I have never been disappointed with the work, the professionalism or the pricing.”

“Emily designed our Living room & Nursery from Paint color all the way to accessories. She captured our vision beautifully and used materials and accessories that fit in our budget but also had that extra special touch. She even set everything up for us so we didn't have to, all we had to do was enjoy it!”

“I've worked with Karen twice. My realtor provided a consultation with her to help us prepare our home to sell. It was truly helpful, fun and a financially rewarding experience. Our house sold within two weeks in premarket thanks to her advice! When we moved into our new house, I was thrilled to see her web site spelled out the pricing structure for the different services she offers. I was able to pick the option that fit into my budget so I knew the cost in advance. Once again her sense of color gave me paint colors that actually worked the way I had hoped. She had great practical advice, ideas and resources that saved me money and gave me the home I wanted.”
