When Sandy and Andrew first hired me, he was skeptical and she wanted all new things. Afterhelping them downsize into a new space, Andrew was adamant that not only should they useme again, but also said it was a condition of the new move. Sandy was also excited to see herexisting pieces used in a new way. I happily stepped in to help them once again.This new, second project was different from the first, but one thing remained constant: makingsure their art was the star in this new space as I’d done in their previous house. We hit a fewlogistical snags, like needing a new dining room table because their previous one simplywouldn’t fit, but I sourced one that was perfect for the new space and all was well.Working with a couple, it’s important that both parties feel seen and heard. I become partdesigner, part referee. Getting buy-in from husband and wife helps to ensure their home is areflection of them both, something I love to be a part of. If I wasn’t sure they’d love what we’dcreated in the first space, being hired for their second removed all doubt.At Styling and Staging with Kristine, I love bringing together things you already own in new andcreative ways. I’m always happy to help you pick out practical, functional and stylish pieces ifyou want or need new items, but your home should be a reflection of you. Your office should bea place that feels welcoming, but helps you be productive. I customize my design ideas to yourtastes and personality; after all, you’ll be the one spending hours in your space.With the brain of an engineer and the flair of an artist, I come at projects differently than manyinterior designers.
