Partnering for Perfection

Seamless Remodels and Builds, Tailored to Your Vision
Trying to build or remodel solo? It's like navigating a design jungle blindfolded. You start with a dream, but quickly find yourself tangled in a mess of budget battles, style standoffs, and contractor chaos. You're suddenly swimming in a sea of tile samples, questioning every paint swatch, and wondering why those "perfect" fixtures look like they belong in a different dimension. And let's be real, like the design itself, the financial aspects of building or remodeling often take unexpected turns and require flexibility as the project progresses. "Initial estimates"? More like "a flexible framework," right?
That's where I, Stephanie Kratz, step in – your design partner, your fierce advocate, and your stress-reliever. I'm here to not just guide you, but to fight for your vision and make sure it is not just done but done right and well! I'll translate those confusing building codes, wrangle those contractors, and make sure your home reflects your style, not some cookie-cutter design.
This comprehensive approach extends to your furnishings as well. You're envisioning those perfect new pieces that will define your style and complete your space, and I understand that perfectly! We'll also thoughtfully integrate those cherished pieces, ensuring your home's architecture and design create a seamless, harmonious flow that honors both existing and future selections. But even better? We'll customize your home with a vision for your new furniture in mind. Imagine built-ins designed to perfectly frame that modern sofa
you've been eyeing, or lighting that highlights the sleek lines of your dream dining set. We'll build the space around your life, and your treasures, both old and new, not the other way around.
I'll manage the logistics, the timelines, and all the nitty-gritty details, so you can actually enjoy the process. No more design dilemmas or breakdowns. Just a beautiful, functional home that truly feels like you. By working together, we'll bypass the pitfalls of DIY disasters and create a home that's not just stunning, but also a reflection of your unique personality and lifestyle.

Tired of design that quickly feels outdated? We are creating homes with lasting style that surpass Instagram trends, staying "forever fabulous", and always being on the modern edge of design. We’ve all seen those design disasters, right? That kitchen that screams “yesterday’s trend!” or a living room that’s a relic of a bygone era. Honey, we’re aiming for enduring elegance, with a twist. So, how do we create a space that’s as chic in a decade as it is today, but with that signature modern edge? We start with the classics. Think rich, natural materials – marble with its timeless allure, woods that bring warmth and depth, and fabrics that whisper luxury. But we don’t just stop there. We sharpen these classics with modern details, unexpected textures , and clean lines. Then, we layer in personality. That vintage mirror you found? Perfect! But let’s juxtapose it with a sleek, minimalist light fixture. That bold, abstract art piece? Yes! It’s the perfect counterpoint to those classic elements. We’re creating a dialogue between the timeless and the modern, a conversation that sparks interest and intrigue. And let’s talk color. We’re not just sticking to safe neutrals. We’re adding pops of bold , unexpected hues – think a deep emerald green against a backdrop of warm gray, or a splash of vibrant cobalt blue in a room filled with natural wood tones. We’re creating a palette that’s both sophisticated and daring, a reflection of the modern edge of design. Finally, remember that luxury is about more than just looks. It’s about creating a space that’s both beautiful and functional, a sanctuary that reflects your unique style and needs. We’re bringing you that timeless elegance, but with a sharp, modern twist. So, ditch the fleeting fads and embrace a design that lasts, but with that modern edge. Ready to create a home that’s both timeless and utterly you?

Spring brings a burst of color, and this year, yellow is having its moment. From soft, subtle hints to bolder statements, it's a cheerful nod to the season. But while trends come and go, gold remains a timeless symbol of luxury, a constant in the world of high-end interior design. Gold transcends seasonal fads. It's not just a color; it's an experience. It's the subtle shimmer that catches the eye, the warm glow that elevates a room, and the touch of opulence that speaks of refined taste. Think of a grand entryway with a gold-leafed mirror , reflecting light and creating an inviting atmosphere. Or consider a living room with brass hardware on custom cabinetry, adding a touch of understated elegance. Gold plays beautifully with texture. Picture a velvet sofa accented with gold-threaded pillows, or a marble fireplace with gold inlays, creating a focal point that exudes sophistication. In lighting, gold fixtures cast a warm, inviting glow, transforming a space into a haven of comfort and style. In luxury interior design, gold isn't about being ostentatious. It's about adding depth, dimension , and a sense of timeless glamour. It's about creating spaces that are both visually stunning and emotionally resonant. Whether it's a whisper of gold in the form of delicate trim or a bold statement with a gold-finished chandelier , this precious metal elevates any space, proving its enduring appeal. So, while spring may bring a fleeting yellow glow, it's gold that truly illuminates a home with lasting luxury. Ready to add a touch of gold to your life?

Let's talk about creating spaces that are both calming and captivating. There's a certain elegance to a room grounded in beautiful, neutral tones – think soft creams, sophisticated grays, and warm beiges. These foundational colors provide a wonderful sense of serenity and versatility, acting as a perfect backdrop for any style. But sometimes, a space can feel a little too… understated. That’s where the magic of incorporating a vibrant pop of color comes into play. It's like adding that perfect finishing touch to an outfit – the detail that elevates the entire look and makes it uniquely yours. We're not suggesting a complete overhaul with bold hues everywhere, but rather a thoughtful approach. Imagine a serene living room with a neutral sofa, brought to life with a few strategically placed throw pillows in a rich jewel tone. Or a minimalist bedroom with a striking piece of artwork as the focal point, injecting energy and personality. And let's not forget the walls themselves! While we often think of walls as simply a backdrop, they can be the perfect canvas for your "pop" of color. Instead of an entirely neutral space, consider painting an accent wall in a bold and inviting shade. Think a deep, calming blue in a home office to foster focus, or a refreshing, vibrant green in a kitchen to create a sense of energy and connection to nature. These bolder wall colors can become a defining feature of the room, setting the tone and personality. This trend for 2025 is all about balance. It's about creating a sophisticated environment that doesn't shy away from a little bit of fun. A bright accent chair in a reading nook, a boldly colored vase on a coffee table, or even a statement rug can make a significant impact without overwhelming the space. It’s about using color intentionally to draw the eye and create a sense of intrigue. So, are you ready to add that little extra something to your home?
