What people are saying.

  • “If you are about to remodel or do any type of a project, please call Karen first! She is amazing. She has a great eye for detail and practicality. She suggested and executed many things in our design plan that we would have never thought of on our own. Her design drawings are spot on and give the contractors a perfect and easy to follow blueprint. Our remodel project was a difficult one and Karen was there every step of the way to make sure our contractor did and redid everything correctly. If not for Karen, our project would have dragged on for much longer.”

  • “Working with Karen was awesome! I know at times we were not easy to deal with, as this was our first experience with any sort of construction. My kitchen is exactly as we planned it to be. The hiccups that came into play were nothing that could have been prevented, but she worked to resolve them as quickly as possible. We appreciate that Karen took great care in helping us think into our aging years.”

  • “When our home was gutted by fire, we took the opportunity to make better use of our space and hired Karen Childress Designs to draw the floor plans. Karen began the process with questions to better understand our lifestyle and how we use our space. She took our needs and wants and made our ideas come alive by incorporating out-of-the-box ideas to enhance the space. Karen's design services are outstanding, she is a wealth of information, and she has an appreciation for the client. She is not only thorough, but timely, and promptly answered any questions we had. Even though her office is in a different state than our home, this was never an issue.” “When our home was gutted by fire, we took the opportunity to make better use of our space and hired Karen Childress Designs to draw the floor plans.

  • “When we purchased our 1963 Donald Lee Mayes home that had never been updated, we knew we were taking on a big project. We were overwhelmed by the space and how to best update it from 1960’s to the 2020’s. We needed a home that was functional for your young, growing family with two small children. We also wanted this to be our ‘forever home’ and were looking for guidance in how to make sure our updates would stand the test of time. Karen was our answer! Karen guided us through the redesign process from start to finish. She provided us with expert advice and realistic visual representations of the project that allowed us to be confident in the decisions we made. Karen gave me the assurance that I was using our space to its fullest potential and everything from our lighting schemes, layout, and storage would be maximized. She was always very responsive and a joy to work with. Our home would not be the same without Karen’s knowledgeable experience."
