Referral from Fritzie V. :

"I would recommend Kari Joki to anyone who has either a small project or an entire home building project. She is capable of working with an architect and contractor on your behalf, has great communications skills and shows great respect for your needs, wants and budgets. Kari's talents are not limited to any one facet of home décor. She works with the total design of exterior and interior planning: siding, windows, paint colors, carpets, fabrics, space planning, furnishings, landscaping, cabinetry, stone work, tiles, plumbing fixtures and anything else in home construction. She has a keen eye and sense for saving old things and refurbishing them to work with new purchases. Buying new is not always necessary. You will enjoy her services. I highly recommend Kari Joki."

Referral from Sally C. :

“Kari helped me from the beginning to the end. I'm not sure I would have made it without her. It wasn't just her knowledge and help in choosing the right products, appliances, flooring, lighting, furniture, paints and colors, but it was holding my hand during the days that there were glitches. There are always glitches in a remodel, it just comes with the territory. Kari makes those glitches so much easier to endure. She's there to take those hits, to make the deadlines and to meet the subs if need be. She'll rise to any task and ALWAYS have your back. She is extremely talented in figuring out early on what your style and tastes are. Just a delight to work with. She won't disappoint!”

Referral from Susan N.:

“Kari is the most versatile, talented designer I have ever worked with. She understands budget and time constraints, is flexible, and it would be hard to find a lovelier person. We met through a house build project. Now I consider her much more than a consultant. She is a wonderful friend! “

Referral from Julie O.:

“Kari is very professional in her approach to working with her clients and construction crew. She is a great communicator and has exquisite taste in design. Kari is fun to work with. Our master bedroom/master bathroom design is everything I hoped for and more. I would enjoy working with her on future projects.“

Referral from Gail P.:

“We were in the middle of a large remodel and Kari was literally a life saver when stepped in helped in so many ways. Within the first 15 minutes of meeting with me and observing what I had picked out for our Colonial Revival remodel, she could recommend things that would go with my style. From kitchen cabinet knobs, lighting fixtures, interior and exterior paint colors, kitchen flooring and even interior and exterior trim decisions, Kari's advice was invaluable. Kari is also very experienced in knowing quality companies to hire. We used her recommendations for the following: tile, flooring and carpet install, exterior siding and trim work, and interior and exterior painting. Now Kari is helping me pick out window coverings, placement of pictures, and all of the soft touches that go into making a house a home. “

Her taste and style are exquisite and timeless. She is able to put a home together with precision and class. She is versatile and able to accommodate different tastes. I will always use her and I highly recommend her due to her professionalism and ability to meet my demanding timelines and budget. Kari is a valuable resource and a privilege to work with. “
