Beautiful Spaces, Balanced Living 🌿
Creating spaces that support your lifestyle and brighten your everyday
Our work spans the entire home, from entryways to workspaces, each crafted with care and creativity. Every design is customized to suit your unique style and taste. Whether it’s a thoughtfully reimagined kitchen or bathroom, a welcoming living room, or a serene bedroom, every project begins with a focus on meaningful design.
Blending modern and transitional styles, we favor clean lines, intentional details, and a touch of playful charm—resulting in spaces that are timeless, fresh, and uplifting.
With a hi-low approach, we combine quality investment pieces with smart, stylish finds, ensuring your investment dollars (budget) are used wisely while never sacrificing comfort, happiness, or functionality.
Wellness and sustainability
Wellness is something we can easily weave in—from the air you breathe to the light that fills the room. We can explore low-VOC finishes and smart features that make life a little easier and a lot more comfortable. Think of it as a breath of fresh air for your body and soul.
Sustainability can also play a meaningful role in the process. We can work with what you already have, give new purpose to favorite pieces, and even find ways to recycle or donate gently used items for tax benefits, creating a win-win for both the planet and your wallet.
It’s all about creating a space and a process that feels right for you.

Meet Kim…
My design journey began during our San Francisco home remodel while raising four boys, when I discovered a passion for selecting materials, finishes, and furniture. Realizing it was more than a hobby, I returned to college to study design, which transformed my view of the world. It opened my eyes to the beauty in everything: a building, a landscape, even the curve of a chair. Now, I bring that vision to each project, creating spaces that are personal and meaningful.
I believe in the adage “less is more,” and that every piece in a space should not only look beautiful but also serve a meaningful purpose.
I’m deeply committed to wellness in design, prioritizing clean air, natural and adequate lighting, and thoughtful space planning to create homes that nurture well-being.
As a former CPA, I served as the Finance Director of the California Peninsula chapter of ASID from 2023 to 2025. When I’m not designing, you might find me swimming or skiing, two activities that keep me inspired and balanced.
“A house is much more than a mere shelter—it should lift us emotionally and spiritually.”

Testimonies
Kim transformed our Palm Springs kitchen, and we couldn't be happier with the results! Kim skillfully opened up the space, adding an extra foot that made a world of difference. The stand-out feature—a stunning coffee cabinet—combines beauty with functionality perfectly. The result is a light, bright, welcoming space that we absolutely love!
N. Rooney
We recently bought an original 1980s home, and the kitchen hadn’t been touched since then — dark, small, and completely closed off. Kim transformed it into our dream kitchen layout. She maximized every inch of our small space to make it feel open, bright, and spacious. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Kim to anyone looking to reimagine their home.
B. Mao
We had the pleasure of working with Kim to remodel our living room, dining room, and foyer, and the experience was truly transformative. From selecting the perfect paint colors to handpicking our rug, couch, chairs, dining room table and several fun art pieces, Kim took care of every detail. What impressed us most was how she made the entire process feel seamless, inviting us to be involved at every stage while expertly guiding our choices. We couldn’t be happier with our new home.
