Kristen was not only prompt and proactive when we first connected, but she was communicative throughout the process and was very open to my budget, style preferences and schedule. She transformed my house into a home that I love being in. She has a natural knack for this work and a passion to help people— both showed within minutes of meeting her. Cannot recommend Kristen enough!

Kristen worked with me to update my living/dining/kitchen areas. She has such a good eye and a great design sense. She was there every step of the way, offering suggestions, recommendations, advice. I am so grateful for her. None of this would have gotten done without her. And, besides all of this, she is a wonderful, caring person. I’m so happy I found her. I would totally recommend Inspired Whims to anyone who is looking for a great interior decorator.

Kristen has been absolutely helpful with everything I have asked for, at a very affordable price. I had no real idea what I wanted when I hired her but she has made my lack of vision into a reality. She has the skills and eyes and insight to make things look impressive and is willing to explain why some things look better. Highly recommend!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is very competitive. I'm happy to discuss discounts for longer projects.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will talk with my client(s) to get an idea of their likes/dislikes and purpose for a space. I will visit the space to measure and get eyes-on, then come up with a comprehensive vision board with recommended design options including sourcing of the items. I can assist with paint color choices and specialize in artwork sourcing and light fixtures. I’m also happy to assist with recommendations on installers.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a certified interior decorator (CID) for 15 years. I’ve designed and decorated a multitude of homes and income properties over the years, increasing the value of many homes come time for resale.
