We had this basement that we were beginning to hate! We knew we needed a change so that we could make better use of the space, but we had no ideas. We had so much wasted space an an annoying support beam in the middle of the room. My husband and I started to get really grumpy about the situation and we decided we needed to hire an expert. So, we contacted Korinne and she came out to see our space.
Immediately, she knew to move the focal point (which was our angled corner fireplace), how to banish the support beam without actually getting rid of it (and costing us a small fortune)and she knew that we wanted functional, with an “old” twist – but to somehow also update the space. I file like I was always speaking another language when I tried to explain my design style, but Korinne just KNEW. She chatted with us and we felt very comfortable with her and her leading this project. She took some measurements, talked to us about our needs and wants, and within a week, we had a visual layout, a dream board, and HOPE. The visual layout was so thoughtful, it even had a special spot for our fur babe in it!
I must admit, we were afraid the design would break the bank, but Korinne is very down to earth and realistic when it comes to costs and staying within means. We learned to spend the money on the things that are important, and save money in other ways. We went ahead with our renovations with our contractor, and even after the job was finished, Korinne came to the rescue with a customized live edge bar project that was created by her fiancé Chris (Stash Fabrications). It’s just like texting a friend to ask their advice when we reach out to Korinne. It’s just natural!
Honestly, Korinne has so many ideas and tricks up her sleeve, it’s like having Pinterest in a real-life person at your fingertips who can make your visions happen! We look forward to working with her and Chris in the future as we work away at updating our home!
