"We have worked with Kara for the past 4 years. She is both a consummate professional as well as a lovely person. Throughout our time working together, she balanced hearing our decorating preferences for our home while also giving her professional input. As a result, we are extremely pleased with the end result regarding the interior of our home. Many friends whom I spoke to before hiring Kara complained that their designers were "pushy" in some way and/or did not respect the budget that they set for a particular room.
