The Design Coach

"First, my home gets jaw-dropping "wow" responses from guests. But Catherine also helped me discover I could do creative things. We stripped and antiqued old chairs, layer-painted shelves, had a blast on our shopping trips... I used to be intimidated by decorating but now I feel empowered. She really listened to me and together we created a fantastic Provencal environment that I just love living in. You know, I can't imagine anyone who couldn't work with her.

"Catherine came to the rescue and transformed my rooms into beautiful and coordinated living spaces. She was flexible with her schedule, respected my taste and was sensitive to my budget. Catherine has a flair for decorating and exhibits a genuine interest in those with whom she works. She is truly Catherine the Great!!"

"I sought Catherine's extraordinary design services over twenty-five years - seven properties in all. Each project reflected where and who I was at the time - west coast, east coast, Midwest, big city, small town, single, married (and single again!). Her counsel enabled me to buy wise investment furniture pieces while also showing me how to update my homes through upholstery, fabric, accessories and art display."

"My wife and I are avid art collectors. We rely on Catherine to appropriately frame our acquisitions and recreate our gallery and displays as our collection grows."

Had always thought I had a pretty good eye for color and basic design until I met Catherine. With the help of her "coaching" I had the confidence to put some great colors and textures into our living and dining rooms and best of all we enjoyed every moment we spent with this great woman. These rooms are now much more comfortable in every way and better reflect our own personal interests. We have yet to have someone walk into our home that has not loved the feel, look and energy in our home and because of that we'll always refer to her as "Catherine The Great"!
