Sustainable Home

Kirsten has worked with us for years. My husband and I knew we wanted to redecorate but always got overwhelmed at the prospect. Kirsten started us out by helping us create an idea book, then magically came up with a color palette and design style we loved. She was able to work within a budget, and specializes in sustainable design. We’ve used her through the years to redecorate our living room, draw up a layout for a new bathroom, design a new family room, and draw up a set of wall shelves. We’ve recommended Kirsten to various friends and they’ve all been happy.

I met Kirsten through a friend; she was remodeling her kitchen. Kirsten has the best taste and vision!!! I am a perfectionist and I always want feedback as I decorate. Working with Kirsten has provided me with the best recourse to fulfill this need. Not only does she have high end design talents, but she is a joy to work with and a really nice person. In particular she picked out the perfect paint color for my home and when I did a major remodel of my bath and hallway; she perfectly told the carpenter where exactly each wall and door should be placed. I also value her sustainability outlook. In addition to creating a beautiful home; it is done with consideration of the environment; a win win. You can go wrong with Kirsten on your team.

Kirsten of Sustainable Home provided very valuable design assistance with two remodeling projects. First, when remodeling our house, Kirsten came up with a very creative floor plan to add a second bathroom into the existing footprint of our small house. She assisted us with choosing fabulous materials for the bathrooms and kitchen. One the second project, she helped us with the design of the conversion of our garage into a studio with bathroom and kitchenette area.
In both projects, she listened to our goals, and helped us to clarify and achieve them. She understood that we didn’t have a large budget to work with and helped us figure out cost effective options. She is extremely knowledgeable about green home products which we really appreciated, and she always had great ideas on where to get products. She knows how the construction process works and gave great advice on how to work with our contractor.
Overall, we highly recommend Kirsten!

I am a green building general contractor and have know Kirsten for years but have never worked with her. Recently, we got a chance work together on a project and I was really happy we did. The job was a kitchen, living area remodel and she did a fantastic job and was a real pleasure to work with. The final product looked great but, more importantly, it was exactly what the client wanted. The materials were well thought out, not only for their aesthetic characteristics, but also for their durability, indoor air quality and sustainability aspects. Nobody in the industry cares more about indoor air quality and Kristen is a tireless advocate against Brominated fire retardants. This concern for the health of her clients is just one more reason that I think you can’t do better than having Kirsten in your corner for helping you make the literally 100’s of choices that one must make to remodel your home beautifully and intelligently.
