I can not recommend working with Jenny and Parke & Olive highly enough. We needed a major refresh…read moreof our downstairs open floor plan (kitchen, dining, living space + piano & reading nooks) and a total remodel of a bathroom. I had like one piece of furniture that I really loved and she took that and turned it into a holistic vision for our entire home. I can't even remember what our home looked like before. I love it SO much. We re-painted kitchen cabinets and walls downstairs and completely overhauled our furniture and blew out our bathroom for new tiling, vanity, fixtures and cabinets. She had so many resources that while at times overwhelming, she had a ton of patience with us and helped us make decisions when we were stuck. My husband and I really are so happy. So 2 main things I think are what make Jenny a stand-out. 1) her vision is beyond any thing I could ever come up with. Its not like she takes Restoration Hardware or Crate & Barrel and transfers it to your home. She pulls in many unique pieces that I would never think of and they are exciting and eye-catching but so well coordinated. 2) She has a great sense of knowing where to splurge a little and where to save a little so we're not having to bust the budget everywhere. She gave us options everywhere. I am just so happy. I should also mention that we did this all remote! I am in LA and Jenny is in the Bay Area (NorCal). She still managed to have a roster of contractors for us to contact and work with. So, Yes! Work with Jenny for an exciting redo!

Working with Jenny @ Parke & Olive was such a pleasure…read more As a couple moving out of a small city condo into our most spacious home to date, we felt overwhelmed at the potential options at both a macro and micro level. Jenny helped us immensely with identifying our desired aesthetic and some associated simple design terms to create a framework for the remainder of our discussions. From there, we identified the rooms where we had the most space to fill and where we would spend the most time, and decided on addressing our living room, dining room, kitchen, and home office together. We were presented with clear, concise "A, B, or C" options for selecting and pairing paint colors with flooring, lighting, and functional as well decorative pieces. This approach removed all the "blank slate" stress we initially felt going into the project and facilitated a collaboration which quickly led to selecting components that came together beautifully. Along the way, Jenny helped up strike our desired balance between a few up-market purchases for "showpiece" areas along with modest purchases for complementary items. Jenny was extremely compassionate and generous with her time to help ensure we were comfortable with all the final decisions for each room. I can't recommend Parke & Olive enough for any sized project!

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.

Up until about a month ago, I had a studio apartment which resembled the living space of "Girl…read moreInterrupted." Think dingy white walls, harsh fluorescent lighting and you start to get the idea. All that was missing were the padded walls. Unfortunately for me, I hear that in 2013 psych ward chic isn't really very in so I tried to make some changes on my own. I felt frustrated by the amount of time I was spending running from store to store and never really knowing what I was looking for. I decided to get some help and I found Senalee through yelp. I contacted her originally just for help with paint colors, but ended up being so impressed by her design knowledge and ideas for the space that I asked her to help me with the whole place. She took into account my budget and my general style and then came back with a couple of different concepts. She was right on and within budget. I now have a finished studio apartment that has truly been transformed into a comfortable oasis that I love coming home to. I cannot recommend Senalee highly enough.

Senalee at SVK Interior Design was exactly who we needed for our bathroom remodel…read more We had a rough idea of what we wanted our bathroom to look like and which fixtures we wanted to use but our contractor recommended that we hire a designer to create professional design documents for them to use and to submit for permits. We hired Senalee based on her reviews here and how organized and responsive she was when we first contacted her. Senalee listened to our proposed design, answered all of our questions and provided excellent suggestions for pulling it all together. She researched complimentary materials to what we already wanted and provided multiple design ideas for us to choose between. She brought us samples and helped explain which would go well together. She also knows all the important details of what city and state regulations require. When we were done, Senalee produced complete design documents and delivered them directly to our contractor. A great experience and I highly recommend her for any remodeling or interior design.

She is equal parts great designer and project manager and helped me (and my contractor!) stay on schedule during the height of the pandemic.

She was thorough, organized, and responsive and did a great job of incorporating my specific requirements, budget, and timeline into the design. She was a great communicator and made sure I understood the unique needs of rental units. She was proactive and always anticipated potential issues. In addition to being knowledgeable about the construction process and the rental market, she was excited to embark on this process of listening to my needs and working together to design a space that our tenants would enjoy. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to renovate their home or a rental property.

Even without speaking with her, when you see the items she has on display and how they're arranged, you know immediately that she has impeccable taste and a good eye. It was an easy sell to engage her design services, and we're so glad that we did. When we had her over, in just a few hours she helped transform our space in several rooms as if she were a magician. She put us to work to sort and go through things, and in real time reorganized and rearranged furniture, books, and aesthetic. We went from apparent chaos to which we'd become accustomed to several new rooms, and a new found appreciation of what we already had. She can work wonders, and I couldn't recommend her more highly.
