A Touch of Whimsy

Absolutely great time. She provided expert ideas that could be executed easily and brought a great perspective to the project. Would definitely recommend and use again!

Karen is an absolute pleasure to work with. This is our second time working with her. The first time was to get some ideas regarding color and design. She referred us to Heather Moore with Wonderful Walls by Heather who is a phenomenal painter. We have used her several times. This time she is assisting us with interior decorating and has found some great purchases for us. She understands our vision and has identified some excellent pieces for our room. We are still working with her and would absolutely do so again. I highly recommend her!

Karen was wonderful! She had great ideas and was very helpful in helping me pick lights, rugs, etc. Also, she has a knack for repurposing things around the house. The icing on the cake was just spending a couple hours with her! She is a blast!!

We got along fabulously! She definitely has the talent and personality for the job!

We are really happy with our new rooms, and would recommend A touch of Whimsy to anyone reading this review.

Karen is a blast to work with. I got exactly what I paid for and had a good time doing it. Karen does a really good job listening to your needs and the vision you have for your home. She worked with me on paint colors and took me furniture layout. Would definitely use her again!

I have worked with other interior decorators in the past, but have to say that Karen is by far the best I've worked with. She truly gets a sense of your personal style and works with it, without trying to push her style on you. Karen is as personable, as she is professional. She is great at what she does and is a pleasure to work with. I looking forward to working with her on many more projects! I, without a doubt,, highly recommend her.

Karen was so much fun, she listened to my ideas and provided guidance on paint color options for the entire house.  We also discussed options for window treatments which was very informative.  She also helped move some furniture around in my living space to provide better flow and it really changed the room for the better.  I was very happy with her work and will absolutely use her again in the future.

OMG.... she is great!
Just bought a house and needed some help placing furniture, pictures and my crazy collection of large giraffes, zebras, lions and cats.
It's always amazed me how some people can just look at a space and know what to do with it. Karen is one of those people...  It only took her a couple of minutes to determine my style and get to work.   WOW what fun!
She hung pictures, placed my crazy characters and furniture, it was so fun watching the rooms come together.  They look amazing and I can't wait to have people over so I can show it off. 
I highly recommend Karen.  I will definitely be using her again!

Great!

Karen went to work immediately the minute she got into my house.  She stayed for the whole three hours.  She gave me a lot of good suggestions on wall color, furniture placement and wall decor.  She is very professional and has a good eye for color.  I can tell she is a good designer.  She suggested things that I've never thought about and it turned out great.    She moved my living room furniture around and  my living room looked much more beautiful immediately.  She even picked up 4 pillows from Home Goods for my couch free of charge.  I like the way that she showed me the furniture to buy from a couple of websites.  Even though I am not going to buy them from those websites, but I got a good idea of what type furniture will fit into my house the best.  
Thank you Karen for all your good suggestions and services.  I haven't finished decorating my house but I am sure I will have a beautiful house soon.  

Karen was very helpful in selecting paint colors for interior & furniture placement

Karen did very well and was very personable.  I liked having her there!

Karen is awesome, fabulous, wonderful, etc.! I was very nervous about hiring someone to come into my home to discuss design and paint and she couldn't have made me feel more comfortable. She had excellent ideas and helped reassure me that the things I did do already by myself looked good and that I was headed in the right direction with my future projects. She's very down to earth and not pushy at all. She's all about her client. She gave me contact info for people for painting and store names for curtains, furnishings and lighting. I'll definitely have her back to with my upstairs area when I get to that project. Stop looking and hire this lady - you won't regret it!

Karen spent over 4 hours in my home. We discussed paint colors for all of my rooms, and how to make them 'flow' throughout the entire house. We then discussed ideas for several rooms in my home, as well as how to add polish and fill in some blank spaces. Just when I thought we were done the real fun began. We re-arranged my entire family room, re-did the mantel with decorative pieces I already had as well as on top of the TV/media armoire. She gave me more ideas to finish adding polish to the room. I was so excited. I felt like I had a new family room. I ran to HomeGoods to find a couple of pieces she recommended and she met me there. She left her glasses, so she needed to meet me, but ended up spending an hour with me in the store picking out pillows and other decorative items. She is fun, high energy and really knows her stuff. I highly recommend her and will be using her A LOT in the future.

Karen spent several hours at my house and provided lots of decorating suggestions and recommendations. Before, I felt overwhelmed, but now I have several specific ideas that I plan to follow through with on my own. I also plan to hire Karen again in the future to help with specific projects. I think it's great that she's wiling and able to help with any type of project, large or small.

Karen was a great help!  She provided suggestions that I would have never been able to come up with on my own.  And her suggestions should also prove to be money savers.  :)

Karen came in with her creative ideas, high energy, and fun personality and she went right to work. She asked questions and then made suggestions on how to rearrange my furniture, pictures and accessories . She had paint palettes and helped me choose paint colors, and she made referrals  to fabric stores, etc. and kept my budget in mind. I love the results we accomplished. Thank you, Karen!

Karen was wonderful to work with. Just a few suggestions and rearranging a few pieces of furniture completely changed the feel of our living room and den. She was not at all pushy, listened to what we wanted, and did a great job of hanging pics and arranging accessories. I highly recommend her!!!!

I hired Karen to help us decorate and get our house ready for a upcoming birthday party we were having She picked great paint colors for us to use to repaint our downstairs living areas, she moved furniture to ways that looked and functioned better , she used pictures and other decorating items we already had to give our house a look we wouldn't have been able to achieve without her Karen gave us a list of a few things to buy and where to put them when we get them My wife couldn't be happier with Karens help We will definitely use her when we start on the rest of our house

Karen was such fun to work with!  I appreciated how she responded to my first contact (a voicemail) the same day.  We set up a day to meet and she came over for a consultation.  We hit it off right away.  I showed her all the pieces I wanted included in the office (16 pieces needed to be framed).  We discussed possible design options with the artwork and what types of frames would work best.  She then took all the artwork and had them framed and returned a week later to hang everything.  (I love that she was able to use coupons and work out some deals with the framers to get me the best deal.  I could not have done that on my own!)  I was so excited to see the framed pieces as we unwrapped each one.  We then took them into the office and discussed ideas for what might look good.  After that, I trusted her to do her thing so I went off to leave her to it.  A few hours later I saw the progress and it was amazing!  She grouped and arranged the pieces in ways I never would have thought of.  Finally she worked on the bookcase where I wanted to incorporate some of my husband's prized possessions as well as some of his rare and special books.  We discussed ideas, tried out some of my ideas, and then I decided to let Karen do her thing again because she was just so much better at it than I was!  In the end, Karen was able to make the bookcase a show piece.  When my husband came home that evening he was so surprised and loved the thoughtful design.  I am very thankful to Karen for helping me with this project.  It was more than I could handle on my own.  On installation day she worked for about 5 hours with no break.  She is well worth the money!

Karen is a lot of fun to work with. We re-arranged the screened porch, family room, dining room and living room. Basically, the whole first floor! She made excellent suggestions for products to fill in holes, and bring out features in a room. She had lots of paint colors and fabric samples for drapes etc. if you want to go that route. Karen is a dynamo, always thinking what would look the best in a room!

Karen was prompt, professional and extremely knowledgeable.  I was headed in the right direction but really needed a second set of eyes on color choices and blending of different furniture styles.  As it turned out, my choice for the master bedroom would have been all wrong and Karen showed me a choice that I would never have thought of on my own but was perfect for the room.

Karen was absolutely fabulous!  She was prompt for the scheduled appointment time and very pleasant to work with.  Karen asked my husband and I great questions to get to know us, our style and taste at the beginning and throughout the entire appointment.  Karen made great recommendations on how to utilize our existing decor and provided recommendations on how we can enhance our living spaces.  Additionally, she provided us with very cost effective places that we could purchase additional pieces!  Several hours after our appointment was over, Karen contacted us to let us know that she had found a piece of furniture that she wanted us to take a look at that she thought would complement our living room, based upon our discussion earlier in the day.  She even had the store that she saw the furniture at, hold the furniture, so that we could take a look at it.  In my opinion, this was going above and beyond, especially since our appointment had already concluded! 
Karen was absolutely fabulous to work with and we are going to continue to utilize her expertise in the future!

In my family room and living room, Karen did furniture placement and she brought in pictures, mirrors, pillows, decor.  I absolutely loved everything that she bought for me!!  Yet there was no pressure for me to have to buy them.  I bought everything but a wreath.  And there was no markup on what she bought.  She made my rooms cozy yet classy!!!  My husband and kids loved everything!!!   And on top of all the great changes Karen made to my home, she was just so fun to hang with.  Full of energy and so happy and positive!!  I didn't want her to leave and I can't wait to save up a little more $$ so we can attack another room.  She performs miracles!!!!!!  Give her a try!!!!
