She put together the most amazing design concepts to choose from and created the cozy, boho luxe space I was envisioning (only better than I could've imagined). She managed to do the impossible, designing four rooms within one large space---living room, guest area, dining, and home office. She also transformed my bedroom! I pinch myself every time I come home. I feel so lucky to live here. Thank you Amanda! :)

She asked great questions before starting the project to understand how the space is used and the personality of our company and the employees. She nailed it right from the start.

We could not be more pleased with her work. She is a pleasure to work with. She is very talented. She designed key elements of our project and also designed much of the furniture. Her taste is impeccable and she listened to us to understand our tastes and preferences. She was always prompt and responsive. She stands behind her work and if there is the slightest problem, even if it is not her "fault", she fixes it immediately. She is fun to work with. I can't think of enough superlatives.

I've now used Priscilla of Halcyon Staging multiple times, and once again, she exceeded…read moreexpectations. Her staging at 2 Place Moulin was absolutely incredible. She created a bright, airy, sophisticated coastal feel that perfectly complemented the sweeping Bay views visible from all three levels of the home. Every room felt intentional, calm, and inviting, while still allowing the architecture and views to take center stage. Priscilla has an exceptional eye for scale, texture, light, and flow, and she truly understands how to emotionally connect buyers to a property. The home photographed beautifully, showed beautifully, generated strong interest, and ultimately sold with her staging in place. Beyond her talent, she is professional, collaborative, thoughtful, and wonderful to work with. I trust her completely and will absolutely continue using her for future listings. Highly recommend Priscilla and Halcyon Staging.

We highly recommend Priscilla!

Can I give 6 stars? Corine is the loveliest human and is so, so talented. I 100% recommend anyone…read morethinking about it to reach out to her! Working with her is a delight in every way. She is easy and fun and pours everything into her projects and relationships. We had such a hard time working with our contractor on our reno, and I was so grateful for all of my time and back and forth with Corine because she, by contrast, was a dream. I honestly don't understand how any human can be so good at paint colors. What on planet earth is harder than paint colors!!?! Corine has this incredible talent for it -- she would flip through a deck (nay, decks!) and immediately narrow down to a few choices and then every single time for us, the perfect color was in there. One of my favorite things about how our renovation turned out and the thing I got the most compliments on is our paint colors. It's super clear that Corine loves design and something really cool about her is she wants her clients to have exactly what they want. Her tastes aside (she beautiful taste, obviously), she's just not one of those designers who only has one look/one vibe. She can deliver on anything and make it look amazing. I would work her again a million times over and had to come and leave a review. If your hesitant about working with a designer (as I was) give Corine a try and thank me later haha

We purchased our home in 2014 and have used CM Natural Designs on two separate occasions - for…read moredesigning services/furniture/paint as well as for two total bathroom renovations. To say we would use her team in the future is an absolute guarantee. When doing our research on designers, we knew we needed someone who was confident in their design aesthetic but flexible with ours, mindful but creative with budget considerations, and a brand/company who was passionate, professional, and hands-on - this IS CM Natural Designs. From the moment we decided to move forward, Corine and her team were ready and available to answer all of our logistical/design questions - they were professional, worked with our deadlines, SUPER organized, and the attention to detail was always evident in everything she and her team did. For our master bathroom, she helped us envision the look and feel and manipulated the space/design to reflect that. We wanted ours to be a complete juxtaposition between masculine (industrial look and feel of bathroom hardware and shower door) and feminine design elements (brushed gold details/decorative lighting). To say this was accomplished would be an understatement. We LOVE our bathrooms. The whole experience with CM Natural Designs, from start to finish, was as effortless as any renovation could possibly be. As there are ALWAYS bumps in the process of any renovation (i.e. contractor issues, unexpected costs, ect.), Corine and her team took ownership of our project and handled it with poise and professionalism from start to finish. We will absolutely use her team in the future and cannot recommend her company enough.

I needed not only an eco-friendly designer, but one that understood that I am also vegan, so the materials sourced were extremely important to me. While also of course, creating an incredible and beautiful space that was comfortable for all members of our family. Kimberly laid out a fantastic plan, understood my taste and was also able to speak and connect with my husband about cost in a way that not only eased his mind about the projects, but really brought him on board to the point that he was championing the projects and really excited about them as well. Every day my husband comes home and says, "I love our home. Thank You for hiring Kimberly. I now understand what you both were doing to make this house ours." It doesn't get any better than that! Kimberly helped make our house into a stunning home. We will continue to work with Kimberly on future projects. She is also gifted with landcaping as well. Our next phase is to redo our front and back yard. I highly recommend Kimberly Rider. She is knowledgeable, has a fabulous design aesthetic, and she is wonderful, just wonderful to work with on interior design projects. I have to say, she encourages your input and feedback, so she can understand your design aesthetic. Throughout the process, she would always say to me, "We are designing for you. I want you to love it. If you don't love it, let me know. And it's okay if we disagree. I want to find pieces that you absolutely love and are going to make you feel good in your home." She can find virtually anything! She has an incredible work ethic as well. Often times when you embark on a big project, such as ours, you really become close to with your designer. I learned so much throughout the process and really appreciated the time and hard work behind the scenes as well, that go into interior design. She is very good about respecting your budget and how to make it work. She is able to also really help prioritize projects as well. Thank you for all that you have done for us, Kimberly! We love you and your beautiful work and we will continue to utilize your services!

We…read moreknew we wanted a total makeover for our place, but trying to find a team that actually handles the 'boots on the ground' construction side and the high-end design is way harder than it looks. After talking to a few different firms, Kanika Design just felt like the right fit. Kanika really listened to what we wanted. I've always been a bit nervous about using bold colors, but she pushed us (in a good way!) for a deeper color palette in the main living areas. It looks incredible. Kanika found us so many unique, high-quality furniture pieces that you just won't find at a big-box store. The biggest thing for us was logistics. Once the design process completed, their team handled everything - architectural, permit headache, and construction. Anyone who has done a remodel knows things never go 100% perfectly, but whenever an issue popped up, they were on top of it immediately. They kept the contractors moving and kept us updated on the budget and what was happening next. It's a relief to finally be done after 2 years and have a home that feels like us but way better. I can't recommend Kanika and her team enough. We're still obsessed with how everything turned out.
