WE WERE CHALLENGED

TO BRING “Tommy Bahama” TO THE JAMES RIVER!

[Kathy Corbet is] "...pleasant and professional. The whole time I was telling her what I would like to see or my vision, [Kathy was] thinking and listening then relating [her] thoughts about the idea and project... you actually listened to what I was saying... You worked with me instead of against me."

A BUSY FAMILY IN AN OLDER HOME

NEEDS TO UPDATE A KITCHEN AND BREAKFAST NOOK TO MEET TODAY'S NEEDS.
"I think it is rare to get the aesthetic, organizational, and functional all in one package, Kathy Corbet combined all three. She is very good at working with what is in the house and prioritizing to make the best use of what one has, while being mindful of selecting pieces that will add to the look and function of a room. I don't think there are many designers who treat a small project as though it is as significant as a bigger one and attend to the level of detail as you did with us."

A MOVE FROM CALIFORNIA TO NEW ENGLAND

MEANT LONG DISTANCE DESIGN DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE AND IT MEANT FUN DECORATING FOR KATHY CORBET INTERIORS. REFRESHING CALIFORNIA STYLE IN A GOOD OLE' COLONIAL STYLE HOME!
"Kathy was willing to work via email, internet, and snail mail and of course in person on
a cross-country project that was completing construction. I enjoyed her willingness to
support the smallest details
such as where to mount cabinet hardware. She offered
ideas and pointed out other resources for cost savings, was timely, had a no-nonsense
attitude and was adaptive and understanding of my likes/dislikes. She never took it
personally when I didn't embrace one of her ideas."

~Dawn, New Boston NH


REMODELING

FOR THIS DUAL CAREER/TWO CHILD FAMILY WAS OVERWHELMING. FAMILY HEIRLOOMS, CONTEMPORARY ART AND ACTIVE CHILDREN HAD TO ALL LIVE TOGETHER NICELY!
“Kathy oversaw a major renovation and redecoration of our house, doing so excellently and with aplomb. Kathy listened carefully to my needs and desires. She incorporated artful touches to our existing decor and brought new vibrancy to entire rooms, never straying beyond our budget. The overall effect is stunning, and each day working with her was a pleasure.”

-Hanna, Richmond


TIME FOR WINDOW TREATMENTS

REUPHOLSTERY AND A FRESH COAT OF PAINT. WE WENT FROM ROOM TO ROOM AND WORKED ALL OF THE DESIGN DETAILS TOGETHER TO CREATE AN ELEGANT HOME FOR A FAMILY OF FIVE.
"I would recommend Kathy Corbet for any design needs and plan to use her again as my needs arise. She has a genuine commitment to her customer and the quality of her work is exceptional. She was able to listen to me and build a design plan to meet my needs. I am very proud of how fabulous my living room and dining room look and enjoy it every day. Our guests always comment on the beauty of the rooms because they are so exceptional."

THE MASTER BEDROOM

WAS CONVERTED INTO A MASTER SUITE BY ADDING A FEW SQUARE FEET AND REMOVING A FEW WALLS. THE "DRESSING" CLOSET WITH FLOOR TO CEILING MIRRORS WAS OUTDATED BUT PRACTICAL, THE BATHROOM AND BEDROOM NEEDED A LOOK AND A PLAN.
"I loved working with Kathy, it was a very enjoyable experience. She was very helpful with giving me renovation direction when dealing with my contractor. I would have been lost without her. She also pegged my taste in furniture, fixture and fabric design etc."

-Brooke, Richmond, VA
