Kristi pays very close attention to detail. She listened to what we wanted, showed lots of samples and the final product was amazing. We remodeled our LR, DR, MBR, and Master Bathroom. Reupholstered 3 chairs that look like new. 2 were 30 years old and one was probably 50, final result was awesome. She uses the highest quality vendors. We highly recomend that if your looking to remodel, use Alaric Designs.. The Danes

Kristie is amazing to work with! She has helped me so much in my home. She helped with space arrangement in my family room, paint selection in my family room, kitchen, and bedroom. She helped me finally find a rug for my dining room after I had been searching endlessly for months! I highly recommend her services to everyone looking. She will help you organize all your ideas and make them work!

Kristie has been amazing, and very patient. I loved her attention to detail, and she was really right on the money when it came to scale and picking out different furniture pieces, pictures, curtains, couch etc. this is the first time weve ever worked with a decorator, and we chose a great one!

Kristie Sandoval is a great interior designer that listens to you as a client and does not come with a grouping of standard ideas. She really takes the time to understand what you are looking for in the space and then goes to work. She does a lot of work finding the solution that works for you and does not look to standard off the shelf ideas. My husband and I were looking for ideas for two areas in our house that were underutilized or as I call it Dead Space , and we and our friends love the results. One area was our loft that was not
