Testimonials
“From the first day that she came to “take a look” and tell me what her plan of operation would be, I was thrilled. It would be an ongoing project, but Konnie was most willing to do this on my time and money schedule. My house is open – but still warm – and inviting. There are many cozy little areas – places for two people to visit. That is something that is very important to me. It’s difficult to determine which
room is my favorite or what I like most. I love the softness of the blue walls in the master bedroom; the feeling of the ocean in the guest room, and the family heritage area of my living room. I love the silver service and tea cups that can be seen from the kitchen window and I like the way my china and crystal were displayed in both of my hutches. I would certainly want any of my friends to use Konnie and I have been happy when I heard that she was on her way to help some of my friends.”

“If you would like to consult or work with the best, call Konnie! As a designer and consultant, her ideas and quality of service were beyond reproach. Konnie helped me furnish and decorate our new home over a period of two / three years. She also worked with two of our daughters in the same capacity….we couldn’t and didn’t ask for anyone else. Thanks, Konnie, from all three of us.”
