Kim Carroll founded her design firm in 2004.  Her work includes residential and business projects in northeastern Ohio, spanning Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Summit and Lorain counties.  She has decorated homes in Texas, Florida and Kentucky.  Kim has also been extensively involved in the redecoration of Hiram Inn, in Hiram, Ohio, and Steele Mansion, in Painesville, Ohio. 

Kim studied at Cuyahoga Community College, Denison University and Ursuline College.  She began her design career by assisting one of Cleveland's premiere designers, and working at the Ohio Design Centre.  She spent 14 years at Reflections Interior Design, and 7 years as the In-Home Consultant at Country Curtains, while also raising five children.  

Kim says that her interest in interiors began at a young age, when she accompanied her family as they visited historic homes, such as the houses at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan.  This began a love for architectural details and antiques.  Art education, beginning with Saturday morning classes at the Cleveland Museum of Art when she was 5, and continuing throughout her life, refined her artist's eye.  Studies in interior design wove all of the threads together.  

Recently, her passion for interior design has spilled over into garden design. Starting with her own garden, Kim has studied, pulled and planted, reconfiguring one section of garden after another. Working with the Western Reserve Herb Society has expanded her knowledge and given her a hunger for more.

Kim lives and works in an historic Arts and Crafts cottage in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, where the garden continues to grow.

Testimonials

"Kim Carroll is a consummate professional.  With an eye for design and a flair for thinking 'outside the box,' Kim designed our remodeled kitchen from scratch.  Attention to detail is her number one quality.  Monitoring progress of the project, making sure the contractor was working within the time frame allotted, relieved a lot of stress that accompanies such a venture.  Kim is a delight to work with - always positive and friendly to the core.  We would highly recommend her services."

""My wife and I first met Kim Carroll over six years ago when we purchased curtains and window treatments for our new home.  Her advice about fabrics, colors and hues was superb; we were immensely satisfied with how it all came out.  Thus, when I decided recently to surprise my wife with more of the same as a Christmas present to finish what we had started and not gotten around to completing, I went back to Country Curtains where she worked.  Not only did I place into her hands most decisions on selection of curtains and window treatments but sought advice as well about several pieces of furniture to put the finishing touches on our living room.   

Kim's expertise extends far beyond window treatments to interior design.  I know for a fact that she keeps up with current trends and travels at her own expense to wholesale showrooms, for example in North Carolina, to make and maintain contacts and associations with businesses in the industry.  Not only is she a skilled professional, but she is a very nice and caring person besides.  You cannot improve upon Kim when considering someone to assist with interior design projects."

"Kim has helped us with our entire house over the course of several years.  She has many attributes which make her a delight to work with. Her listening and collaboration skills are strong which result in an ability to beautifully meld design principles with the personal taste and aspirations of the client.  She is artful in incorporating treasured family heirlooms into her designs all the while maintaining a fresh and current look in the finished product.  The ideas she brings to the table are often things I never would have thought of and wind up being a focal point of the room.  In addition to her professional talent and intellect, Kim is a woman of integrity and grace."
