Services


Design & Estimate

The design process starts with an
in home consultation and measurement
where we come up with a game plan on how we
are going to tackle the project.


Selection & Documentation

We visit local showrooms together to select the products we need and I pass on my contractor discount to you. Then I incorporate all of those products into your design, create floor plans, elevations and 3-D's for the contractor to follow.


Project Management

The first day of construction we meet with the contractor to go over the plans and discuss the schedule. During construction I am in constant contact with the contractor and I coordinate all deliveries, templates and installations so the project will run smoothly. And be a success!

Client Reviews

Karen's designs were beautiful, and worked so well with our old house, one would think they'd been there since the house was built. She listened to what we wanted, added her professional knowledge, and came up with a plan that we loved. We love it even more now that it is done. No project is without challenges, and ours was no exception. It was plagued by contractor illness, incorrect shipments, and major snowstorms. Karen helped us to manage through all the issues, indeed, she managed many of the issues for us. The result is my now beautiful home!

Karen worked with us on a full bathroom renovation that was under a strict time schedule due to the fast approaching birth of our second child. She was a pleasure to work with and helped us through the entire remodeling. In addition to adding her design expertise she helped us manage the contractors to ensure our needs were met, worked to attain very good pricing and service from key suppliers and kept the entire project very well organized so everyone was clear on expectations. We're thrilled with our bathroom and would use Karen again for another project.

-Katie & Peter L. Concord,MA

Karen did an excellent job from start to finish for our bathroom renovation. Her expertise resulted in a design that transformed our 4 year old bathroom into one that is much more functional and beautiful. She saved us a significant amount of time during the whole process by helping us make the right decisions efficiently and by performing all the leg work required to implement and manage the project successfully. Karen is very dedicated and responsive. Great value provided and would not hesitate to utilize Karen again or recommend her services.

Karen was actually recommended to me by our contractor. At first I thought I didn't need a designer, but quickly realized how glad I was to have her! Our house was built in 1910 and she was able to come up with a design that reflected that time period in a modern way. She guided me through everything from cabinets to appliances. She did all the scheduling and receiving of deliveries and working full time that was important. I don't know how we would have done it with out her!

-Beth & Rob Andover,MA

Karen was an absolute professional and a joy to work with! "Professional" to me means: met all her commitments, on time; respected my budget; had great contacts in the business; and, guided me to make choices without being judgmental about my taste or my desires. She has opinions and I like that! As a plus, she's fun to spend time with. I am now trying to figure out what our next project together will be! I enthusiastically recommend her.

-Melissa & Tony G. Concord,MA

I had my kitchen re-designed by Karen Walson, who also helped me throughout the entire remodeling process. My kitchen was outdated and non-functional. Karen had great ideas of how to design my kitchen to be more functional and efficient, while making sure the design fit my style. Karen answered all my questions and responded to my messages promptly. She also worked with my contractor to troubleshoot issues as they arose. I love my new kitchen, which is now one of my favorite rooms in my home. I would highly recommend this company and Karen Walson for her expertise.
