Testimonials

In all the years that I have either built or renovated homes, I have never enjoyed a relationship with a designer as much as I have with you.

My home in Florence, Oregon could be anywhere in the world it’s so beautiful. I would be thrilled to have you show my home to anyone, knowing that it shows your good taste and our successful collaboration.
Jean Carrus, Rancho Mirage, CA
Hey, KJL, I love my new kitchen. Lots of positive comments on both the kitchen and fireplace (even from Kaitlyn's friends!). It was fun to turn on the fireplace the other night when it was cool and damp. Kaitlyn now asks if she can hang out here when we're gone - and "where do you keep the clicker for the fireplace?" High praise from the kid who thought we were destroying their childhood memories by tearing out the ugly red brick!

Thank you for all your help. We never could have come up with this on our own.

Kathy and KJL Interior Design have helped me coordinate five homes. I believe Kathy’s interior design of each home has enabled me to trade up for over 20 years.

I guess a repeat customer is a happy customer.

While these projects are always hectic, the budgets tight, and the politics stifling, we felt that you held your own well against the tides, and helped us invaluably in delivering the best house in the show (Lane County Homebuilders Tour).

On another front, my wife and I are enjoying our new house and are slowly realizing a few more of the interior amenities we discussed with you.
Gordon Anslow, Anslow & Degeneault, Inc., Building design and construction
Kathy did an outstanding job interacting with our architect and general contractor to affect design, flow and use of spaces. We continue to get compliments that the house feels extremely high quality and comfortable.

We struggle to find places to go on vacation that we enjoy as much as our home.

KJL is simply the best. They know houses, design and are committed to this community. They work on my own houses and they’re first on my referral list.
Liz Kramer, broker, Windermere Real Estate
Kathy’s experience and expertise is unmatched in Eugene. Her kitchen design gave us maximum efficiency along with beauty. The whole project went smoothly from start to finish. Our kitchen was totally transformed. KJL rocks!!!
Nancy Deal-Whitacre, Lance Deal
I am just thrilled about the outcome of the house. It pulled together in a way that fulfilled all our needs and all my goals. There is a cohesiveness and harmony from room to room, yet each room has its own individuality as well.

Thanks for putting up with all the constraints and limits I imposed. You guys have been so wonderful to work with.
Phyllis Saltzman
It’s a pleasure to work with someone whose professional and artistic judgments take into consideration the realities at hand (i.e. time constraints, structural elements).

I was personally very pleased with the finished product and I have heard only good revues from others.
Doug Lee, Lee Construction Co.
Journey Built Homes has had the opportunity to work with Kathy on both large and small custom projects. We found her passion and attention to detail outstanding. She’s very easy to work with and a great team player.
Kevin Journey, Journey Built Homes
For over fifteen years, I’ve earned easy brownie points referring Kathy and KJL Interior Design to friends and clients. The first hand knowledge I have from working with Kathy on our own home and office is of a dedicated professional passionate about her craft. She took the time with us to understand our likes, our dislikes and our needs. The finished products were wonderful.
Chuck Koehn, broker, C.W. Walker & Assoc.
We have enjoyed and appreciated working with Kathy on both our professional office and our home. Her suggestions have always been right on. I never worried about whether or not we were doing the right thing. From paint colors to carpeting, furnishings, cabinetry, tile and hardwood flooring, her expertise has been so helpful. Her energy and enthusiasm are contagious! Hmmm…what can we do next?
Wendy and Kent Karren
Professional. Prompt. Polished. KJL Interior Design represents all of that and more. From the first consultation and presentation of plans, to the schedule of the entire remodel, to the finished results, Kathy listened to our needs and she and her team dispelled any concerns. KJL gave us a beautiful new kitchen and living area. Best of all, my daughter, who is in a wheelchair, now has full and easy access to every room. Thank you hardly seems adequate for all your hard work and expertise.

Approximately two years ago, it became apparent to us at McKenzie Willamette Medical Center that we needed the expertise of a designer with an understanding of the use of textures, colors and patterns in creating a calming and healing healthcare environment.

Over the course of several major renovation and remodel projects, Kathy has far surpassed our expectations and has successfully met all of the various challenges we have presented her.

Kathy is very proactive and always presents excellent, well thought out choices. She has a demeanor that allows her to effectively interface with users, architects, administrators and contractors.

McKenzie Willamette Medical Center continues to entrust our interior design and layout needs to KJL Design. We highly recommend Kathy to anyone desiring a skilled, experienced and yet fresh eye for their project’s interior design work.
David Strange, CPMM/CHFM. Director of Facilities Operations at McKenzie Willamette Medical Center
Kathy has helped us with two large interior projects in our home. Her sense of style and color is wonderful. She is sophisticated and innovative. We very much enjoyed working with her.
Catherine Kordesh, David Fryfield
I write this from our beautifully designed church whose interior is constantly receiving comments for its beauty, peace and simplicity in elegance. Kathy provided us with expert advice and consultation on every aspect, expending high amounts of energy and creativity on our behalf.

Let me hasten to say Kathy has become a friend over the months of our working together. I’m certain you’ll find her zest for life contagious and her quality of work excellent.

Kathy was involved with us from the conception of our home, through the construction and the furnishing until the last picture was hung. Not only are we extremely pleased with her design work and creative ideas, she was a delight to work with.

Kathy has great taste and experience. Her designs make sense. Her communication throughout a project is thorough and timely. Did I mention she’s really fun to work with?

Your professionalism, style, taste and charm made this entire experience most enjoyable. A true sign of a customer’s satisfaction is his return patronage. I look forward to the next opportunity where I’ll be able to utilize your services.

You were a great help choosing a color scheme for our project and advising room layouts that fit our requirements. You introduced suppliers for fixtures that really fit our taste and style and helped us with the planning of the interior for our house to make sure decisions were made on time.
