Our Design Team
Kristin Cable
Meet Kristin Cable. She’s a former hairstylist turned interior designer. From the start, she knew she wanted to utilize her creativity, and through interior design, she has found her passion. She is currently a student working on her bachelor’s degree in arts and human services. She has over 15 years of customer service experience and the consultation skills she learned from doing hair has helped her tremendously when it comes to helping clients in designing a space that is exactly what they pictured. She is constantly immersed with a mixture of different people and styles. From this, she’s grown to appreciate diversity and it has become a huge part of who she is as a designer. Her design process focuses heavily on collaborating with clients as well as with contractors and other professionals in the industry. She offers a balance of creativity, collaboration and forward-thinking with a structured, organized, and detailed mentality. She is always enthusiastic about trying new ideas, and bold when it comes to creating them. She strives to design unique interiors that will have a positive impact on her clients’ lives. The most rewarding part of her job is the transformation from the old space to the new design and seeing the smile on a client’s face when they finally have their dream space. Don’t just let your home be a record of your life—let it be an expression of who you are, and where you want to go!

Our Start to Finish Process
We start by coming to your home and measuring your space FOR FREE. We get the basic ideas of what you want, styles, color themes, products, etc. If you don’t really know what you want? Don’t worry! That’s what we are here for!
Our dedicated and talented design staff will start by creating your space in our state-of-the-art 3D rendering software. You’ll be able to see your dream come to life in 3D and full color—all the way from the paint color on the wall to the finishing on the faucet. Then we schedule a visit to our 5000-square-foot showroom for you to go over your design ideas and begin selecting your products!
When everything is finished and approved, you are placed on the construction list for our incredibly talented carpenters to come and make your dream space a reality. You Dream It, We Build It.
