I hired Larina to help me during a large renovation, which started right at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Larina was so flexible and thought of novel ways for us to work together during such a strange time; we met virtually on FaceTime so that she could see the space, she would drop samples off to my mailbox so that there was no contact, and the rest we did over email & by phone. Looking back, I cant imagine what I wouldve done without her. She was amazing at focusing on the details without losing site of the big picture and offering me options that worked well in each room while

I can't say enough wonderful things about working with Larina! We moved into a new home in the fall of 2019 and started the process of designing our dream living room and dining room in January. Larina was a true professional every step of the way. Her vision and thoughtful guidance throughout the process was a true gift. I tend to have a strong design point of view and she complemented my vision perfectly and brought it to life with great skill. She has a wealth of local resources and contacts and we could not have created the final spaces without her. I would highly recommend Larina Kase Interior

In addition to her incredible talent, she is a pleasure to work with and is sensitive to other opinions and feedback. I love when I see creatives collaborate because the efforts become something beyond just one person. There is a certain sensitivity I have found in Larina's designs that is not just a matter of one or two elements, it comes down to many details that add up to an overall
