Since the fires, I have seen firsthand how hard it is for families to rebuild and create a safe, welcoming space. You may be moving into a temporary rental or getting ready to return home. Either way, I am here to help with thoughtful, practical decorating and furnishing.
A Helping Hand in a Difficult Time
Losing your furniture or leaving your home can feel overwhelming. This work is about comfort as much as design. My goal is to help you create a home that feels warm and safe again.
What I Offer
Fast, thoughtful furnishing: I work quickly to turn a temporary rental into a comfortable, livable home.
Furniture sourcing and space planning: If you lost everything, I can find the right furniture and plan layouts that make the best use of your space.
Healthy, smoke-free furnishings: With smoke and chemical damage a real concern, I choose pieces that support a healthy home.
Personal, compassionate service: Every project is handled with care. You are a family rebuilding your life, and I treat it that way.
Serving the Westside and Beyond
I have been helping families in areas hit hard by the fires, including Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Topanga, Santa Monica and Brentwood. If you are just settling into a rental or planning your move back home, I am ready to help you create a space that feels like home again.
A Note From a Client
One of the most rewarding parts of my work is hearing from families who have started to feel at peace again. A recent client shared, "I had no idea where to start after we had to evacuate. CK made our rental feel warm and livable almost immediately. It gave us a sense of peace during a really hard time."
