From custom stone and metal dining tables to beautifully detailed cabinetry and upholstery designs, we take you through design to installation.

Not impressed. In the initial sales consultation, my experience was dealing with someone haughty, unfriendly, not customer service oriented and operating with the assumption that my budget wasn't going to accommodate her fees even though no discussion of specific amounts had ensued. The reviewer that gave her carte blanche from 1500 miles was perhaps the stronger appeal.

I am currently working with Kress long distance from 1500 miles away-- I met her in my home for maybe 1 hour at most and in that short space of time she was able to create a canvas of wonderful possibilities that my Husband and I just love! I am making purchases virtually and am so confident that I just basically gave her carte blanche to do whatever she knew would work beautifully I hope not too many people find her or I will need to book months ahead to do my future projects-- She is superb!

After carefully researching many interior designers, my boyfriend and I decided to work with Kress Jack based on her elegant, yet unique and eclectic style. It was the best decision we ever made, by far!
We presented Kress with these parameters:
1. Moving into a rental house in Marin - and needed to furnish it from scratch.
2. On a budget (reasonable, but very far from big).
3. The house needed to accommodate a newly melded family with 6 kids, ranging in age from 5 to 16.
4. She could only see it one time before designing it because the former tenants were still living there, and it was

Kress is amazing. We have been working w Kress the last year remodeling an old farm house in wine country (that hadn't been updated since 1972!). we went into the process having never remodeled or worked closely with a designer so we were concerned on all levels (cost, process, time, style, etc). Fast forward to today and we have the most beautiful home that is beyond what I envisioned and exactly what I wanted. Bright, classy, updated yet comfortable. And not "overly decorated."
Not only does Kress have the most incredible sense of style, she is an absolute joy to work

Kress has now helped me with almost every room in my house and she just decorated both my kids' rooms. My little girl's room is totally amazing! We went away on vacation and asked her to "transform it into a fairy princess room" while we were gone. That way, we could surprise her with it for her third birthday. I had no idea how special a room could be until Kress did her magic. And I swear my daughter has been sleeping so well in it since she "moved in". Definitely don't hesitate to call Kress. She's incredible at what she does.

My husband and I hired Kress to redesign our bedroom. We had never worked with an interior designer before and were a little hesitant, fearing the experience might be a little intimidating. However, Kress was perfect! From the get-go, she was consultative and inspirational - but really easy to talk to and spend time with. She had ideas we'd never thought of and the results are awesome!
All in all a great experience. We would recommend her again and again!

I second what all the other reviewers have said about Kress. We absolutely love her. Personally, I do not enjoy (nor does my husband) decorating or shopping for furniture/decor, and I'm totally lame when it comes to color schemes. That's why Kress was so perfect for us. We basically told her what styles we liked and didn't like and she made it as easy as possible on us. When she found stuff she thought we'd like, she'd send us digital photos by email (always giving at least 2 or 3 options varying in price). Then, we'd tell her which we liked and she'd get it for

Kress is amazing. About a year ago, I was shopping for furniture. I mentioned to the store owner that I wished there was someone who would come into my apartment to help me arrange my furniture and tell me what needed to go and what should stay. She laughed and said, "I have just the person for you!" Thankfully, she didn't tell me Kress was an interior designer because with my studio apartment and teacher budget, I would have been very intimidated.
Kress showed up and couldn't have been more warm and supportive. She surveyed my apartment, moved things around, told me what

Without a doubt Kresds is the most fun, collaborative interior designer I have ever met! We have worked on several projects together, and every single time it has been fun and the clients have loved the results. What makes Kress really special is her amazing flexibility. She doesn't seem to have preconceived ideas about how you "ought" to do something-- she just gets in, assesses your situation, talks and LISTENS, and then goes about finding the things she thinks will work for you. And she is very friendly and laughs a lot, which makes doing business that much better. I absolutely
