"I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to hire the Interior Design and Contracting services of Kathryn James of Bluevine Studio LLC. I had just purchased a 1949 unimproved ranch style home in need of full renovation on a tight timeline for my family to move in before school started. The first thing that struck me in working with Ms. James was her intuitive approach to learning about each of the intended occupants, how we live and entertain and translated this into style, budgets and priorities. I was impressed with her high level of organization and resourcefulness in sourcing materials and furnishings far beyond my expectations. She used both pointers and Houzz idea boards to help with easy style and furnishing selections. Ms. James made an otherwise stress-filled process a fun an engaging partnership with beautiful results. She is skilled at not only interior design but also project management and construction renovations needs. She provided creative floor plan alterations, color coordination, materials selection, furniture and room designs, purchasing, extremely tight budget management and selected sub contractors. As a result of the success in my personal home renovation I secured Ms James services for an additional three investment properties. Each project has been on time, on or below budget and beautify executed with ongoing returns. I highly recommend Ms. James for any design or construction project. I continue to refer Bluevine Studio and seek Ms James consulting ongoing."

When my husband and I recently bought a house with a bright array of colors, we immediately knew that we wanted to tone everything down. Kat was extremely helpful, and helped us find neutral shades that all worked cohesively. I'd recommend her for anyone needing a color consult.

Kathryn James of Bluevine Studio exceeded my expectations as a creative force and motivator for a change of my cluttered office environment on our first project. I did not know how or where to begin regarding the design, functionality and rebuild of my business venue. She presented several options for my review and clearly explained her process, which alleviated any of my concerns regarding the cost and completion time frame. I now understand why she is referred to as the tornado of organization. I additionally hired Kat James for a complete renovation of my teen-agers upgrade from a little girl’s cave into a full master size suite. With just a rough budget in mind I gave creative license to Kathryn. What impressed me the most was the way she intuitively connected with my daughter and empowered and guided her to choices along the process that resulted in a highly personalized space. The room ended up not only reflecting my daughter’s personality and comforts but also a very cool mix of sophistication, function and fun! I have used Kat on three separate projects including a master suite and kitchen upgrade, a living room modernization, art work and color consulting, and wall / window treatments. She amazed me with her well-rounded knowledge of design and construction on each occasion. Kat James also provided me with a choice of contingent options for every project. I was very fortunate to discover a one-stop shop for both an innovative designer and general contractor where her concept wasn't lost in translation between an idea and the lay of a brick. Kat shopped for eco products with cost efficiency and creative solutions in mind. I requested the use of sustainable products when available and practical and Kat provided me with several local suppliers to visit and help me with my selection. Kat somehow arranged a behind the scenes tour of a very promiment green facility in Portland where I saw first hand how renovations and replicas where crafted. I had the opportunity of experiencing Kat and her crew in action as they worked at the Heathman Hotel in Portland. Kat navigated her creations and equipment quietly through the four star gem and I saw the complexity and realized what a challenge that project presented for Kat. Her crew worked around guests and her crew presented a very professional demeanor. I saw Kat interact with her crew, subcontractors, hotel management and occassionally likened it to herding cats. I will definitely call upon Kat (BlueVine Studio) and her crew for my next project. Bryan Meyer

Kat was super helpful in making sure my wife and I got the result we wanted. She put a lot of time and energy into the project and we couldn't be happier with the result. The process of working with Kat was straightforward and communicative. Summary billing made it a breeze to close out the project and track expenditures.
