When Sandy and Andrew first hired me, he was skeptical and she wanted all new things. After

helping them downsize into a new space, Andrew was adamant that not only should they use

me again, but also said it was a condition of the new move. Sandy was also excited to see her

existing 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: making

sure their art was the star in this new space as I’d done in their previous house. We hit a few

logistical snags, like needing a new dining room table because their previous one simply

wouldn’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 part

designer, part referee. Getting buy-in from husband and wife helps to ensure their home is a

reflection of them both, something I love to be a part of. If I wasn’t sure they’d love what we’d

created 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 and

creative ways. I’m always happy to help you pick out practical, functional and stylish pieces if

you want or need new items, but your home should be a reflection of you. Your office should be

a place that feels welcoming, but helps you be productive. I customize my design ideas to your

tastes 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 many

interior designers. To book a consultation, just call 847-815-6167, or email: Kristine@stylingandstaging.com
