Billie Lind

"Design Lifestyles went above and beyond on our Kitchen remodel! We are still in awe that this is OUR beautiful new kitchen that looks just like it came right out of a dreamy magazine! The attention to detail was perfect! They combined functionality with beauty and we couldn’t be more happy with it! The best part...they made it extremely easy with their presentations, visual elevations and management. All we had to do was ok things and they took care of the rest! Thank you Design Lifestyles for being the best of the best and turning our kitchen into something magical!"

Lindsie Amyx

"Kim Bailey has the qualities an interior designer is supposed to have - artistic ability, creativity, and visualization. But she and her team at Design Lifestyles have more than that - they are passionate, caring, problem solvers too. We simply could not be more pleased with the result of our collaboration with Kim and her team. But the process is important too. We engaged Kim Bailey interiors in February of this year. From the beginning Kim and her team worked with us to understand what we wanted. They worked diligently to present ideas to bring it all together. They were responsive to our many questions and comments often sent at odd times of days, nights, and weekends. And, when we started this project, there was not a pandemic, but it hit while we were underway. Kim and her team managed it all – from changes in orders, to receivers to movers and installers - all with uncanny precision and a sense of calm.

In the end, our new contemporary home is stylish, fitting of our desires and our personality and within the budget we outlined at the start. I checked all 5 stars and every box above because Design Lifestyles is deserving of it."

Jim Grau

"We’ve hired Design Lifestyles for two rooms in our house now, and are very happy with both results. In each case, they were very receptive and responsive to our inputs and worked to be sure we got the design just right and to a place where we were comfortable with it. They also manage the procurement and install of furniture for one of our rooms and did an excellent job making that process easy and fun for us."

John Sturdivant

"I recently had a complete kitchen and dining room gut/re-model, and I can't say enough good things about Kim Bailey and her team. From the first meeting to the final walk-through, she and her design team were responsive, attentive, and always there when I had a question or concern. The contractors they work with are top notch, as well. I highly recommend them and I will definitely use them for future projects."
