We engaged Heather’s design services to help us fundamentally and completely remodel the interior of our mid-1960’s ranch home. Our goal was to seek a timeless feeling and style that would update the house with current surfaces and systems, accommodate and be reflective of the 1960’s vintage of the home, and serve us well in our retirement years. While pointing out that styles and designs change so often that it is difficult to create a strictly classic or timeless design, Heather did an exemplary job of achieving our goals and creating a comfortable, functional and pleasing residence that included a fully remodeled kitchen, remodeled bath rooms, updated interior and exterior paint colors, and all new tile, carpet, hardwood flooring, doors, trim, baseboards, light fixtures and hardware throughout. She was also willing to provide us advice as to appliance selection and the placement of artwork and furnishings. We have received many compliments from family and friends relative to the quality of Heather’s design recommendations, as well as from the contractors who executed Heather’s design.

"Heather immediately understood I had a distinct design style and she always presented choices that would fit in with my taste and palette. The tiles she chose for our bathroom remodel look fresh and contemporary yet fit right in with my mid-century-aspiring-to-minimalism aesthetic. I look forward to more projects with Kirk Riley Design."

“Heather is like having a good friend who has knowledge of the construction process, materials, and is willing to do all the leg work to complete a project. After discussing our ideas about the remodeling of our retro bathroom and the complete rebuilding of a second bathroom, she took measurements, made her suggestions, and drew floor plans. She even designed and drew plans for each tile in our retro bathroom. She researched fixtures, floor coverings, hardware, lighting, tile, paint colors----everything for the project and brought pictures or samples for us to make the final decisions. She then coordinated with the contractor, trades, and vendors to purchase everything. She even found the correct screw for our retro cabinet.

We feel Heather saved us money with a major suggestion to just remodel our retro bathroom instead of tearing everything out and building an entire new bathroom. We are pleased with both our bathrooms and certainly recommend Heather.”

“I had a wonderful experience with Kirk Riley Design. Heather was very patient as I “grew up” as a client and came to accent the things I wanted would actually cost. She helped select the contractor and took care of every detail. It was wonderful. And I am thrilled with the results. I still love my bathroom, a year after it was renovated.”
