Kim Peterson of KEP Interior Designs helped us a complete a total redesign and remodel of our master bathroom. Having never worked with a designer before, I was a little hesitant about the experience. Kim was professional, talented, and most importantly, a responsive listener. Her knowledge of design was evident as she deftly helped us navigate our remodel with suggestions, examples, and creativity. Kim made our experience fun and exciting. We so enjoyed working with her on this project.

My husband and I hired Kim to do a color consult with us when we were planning to paint the exterior of our home. She brought over a bunch of color options for us to choose from, and very thoroughly helped us consider our choices. With her help we chose the overall color of the house, as well as the trim and the front door colors. Having her expertise involved made me feel much more comfortable about moving forward with the paint job and I absolutely love the outcome! I will definitely be using her again for future projects and highly recommend her services.
