Rhonda Thayer

This was the second time we have worked with Karen of Tallwood Design. She is honest, professional and very confident. Her suggestions and ideas have been invaluable to us as we proceed with our addition and renovations. She is very thoughtful and creative. You'll be glad you included her as part of your design team.

Karen McPhedran, of Tallwood Design, exceeded our high expectations in guiding our full kitchen and mudroom/1/2 bath renovation. The depth and breadth of her experience was a real treasure for us. We had worked with two other consultants – but finally with Karen we enjoyed the complete portfolio: competence, confidence tempered by respectful listening, high-value vendor relationships, timely responses – and a responsiveness to our vision and desires – that gave us that sense of confidence we had made each decision correctly. Whether on function, cost, and especially, aesthetics; Karen was…excellent!

Karen, it has been almost nine years since you helped with our redecoration project and we still love it. We could not have attempted without your expertise! Jeff and I love the colors that adorn the inside of our house and the kitchen island is truly remarkable, one of a kind and we still get compliments on it. Additionally, we appreciate the help and follow up with our living room shade snafu. We are so grateful.

Karen has been delightful to work with! She helped us renovate a camp on the lake to a year round home- at the same time helping us retain the warmth of our 25 year old camp. Karen is very creative. She is an expert in blending functionality with beautiful space. We so appreciate her ability listen to our needs and her artful way of presenting new ideas that were perfect for our space. She has strong relationships with her contractors and subcontractors. Their experience, skills and attention to details are extraordinary and we particularly appreciated their ongoing communication throughout the entire project. Karen is very professional. She is organized, has a vast extent of experience and knowledge and she enjoys what she does. There was no problem that we could not figure out! We love her versatility and flexibility. We highly recommend her as a design expert for any new or renovation project. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have found such a skilled artist!

Working with Karen was a pleasure and her patience with my wife and I was great. Her ability to visualize colors and help us design and remodel a kitchen and bath in our 200 year old farm house was extremely helpful. We won't touch a paint brush now until we check in with her to see if we are doing the right thing.

Looking forward to my "long term" relationship with your 200 year old gem!

Holly Dominie

Karen has helped me twice with sticky design issues. The first was finding the right color paints for the first floor of my house where the woodwork is dominant and easily out of balance. More recently, when asked to review a plan for renovating a small galley kitchen out of state, she gave me timely, knowledgeable, and creative ideas for its improvement. Thanks, Karen!!!!!

Holly, You are such a pleasure to work with! Looking forward to photos...

I worked with Karen for the complete renovation of our kitchen. I would highly recommend utilizing Karen's expertise if you have a big job and want not only the design advice, but also someone who can manage a job on budget and on schedule while you are away. Karen and I spent the right amount of time between meetings and exchanging notes to come up with the look I wanted. I never felt that she was imposing her own preferences and also felt she would be flexible doing more or less, depending on what I wanted. Just as good, she came up with an estimate, used contractors she has experience/relationships with and managed everything while we were away. I felt, if anything, she was even more picky than I in making sure the final work was perfect.

This was a fun project! Thank you for entrusting me and my team of subcontractors.

Karen listens to her client; advises thoughtfully; and oversees the details so you don't have to! I have hired Tallwood Design more than once - for small projects, as well as a complete bathroom renovation. I would definitely hire her again.

Karen is fantastic! Creative, organized, and punctual. She helped us build our home in 2008 and worked with us on details such as floor plan layout, choosing paint colors, hiring a painter, and choosing furniture. She helped us again in 2014 when we decided to do a bit of remodeling and needed help with countertop, light fixture, and dining table choices. Karen has always helped by mediating when my husband and I had differing opinions. She has also become a good friend!

Tallwood Design has a true talent of being fluid with the owners idea as it changes throughout initial and follow up design meetings. No matter how vague or vivid the owners idea is, Karen is able to mold it into something tangible and lucky for us constructible!

I have had the pleasure of working with Karen on many projects, some from the ground up and others as remodels. Karen is both meticulous and thorough in her planning and designs and she has a unique ability to select the proper materials for the required applications. Most importantly, she is a realist and a pragmatist when life happens in the field and alterations in plans need to be made. She is my designer of choice.

Denny, thank you. My goal is to have truly talented colleagues that care about the outcome of the whole project. You are my go to!

Parise Chamberland

I'm extremely pleased with the results of my bathroom remodel. Tall wood Design made this project so easy by coming up with great recommendations for flooring, shower tiles, counter tops, and lighting. My designer Karen was fabulous! She was very knowledgeable about products and where to purchase from the best vendors and installers. Karen handled coordinating each stage of the project and stayed on budget. I highly recommend Tallwood Design!
