"Keatin Holly is an exceptionally gifted interior design and color specialist! Her brilliant ability to visualize colors as they will look when they are finalized and how well they integrate with each other is amazing. Keatin's recommendations were far better than anything I could have imagined to make my home as perfect and enjoyable as possible.I have built three very highend, large homes in Pebble Beach and Tiburon from scratch so I am familiar with the great value Keatin provides her clients. She works efficiently and cost effectively throughout project. She can power through and still capture your dream without imposing her preferences. You will be very fortunate to work with her to make your home as beautiful as possible. I hope you will remember my review because I am certain you will find it accurate."

"I recently moved from San Diego to San Francisco. I downsized from over 2000 square feet to 900 sq. ft. My new apartment needed to be totally renovated from the walls being smoothed and redone to brand new flooring everywhere. The bathroom had to be totally gutted. Keatin was introduced to me by my daughter-in-law. Keatin is terrific with color and expertly supervised the entire project from paint, to lighting fixtures, to vanities, to flooring, window treatments, down to details like draw pulls and closet handles. I am totally pleased with the space she helped create. Keatin is a pleasure to work with. She made a project that was almost impossible to do long distance, feasible. I absolutely love my new home."
Gabe Gesmer:
"Keatin is a superb color consultant. She takes on your project as a unique challenge, not as an occasion to apply some cookbook approach. She listens to what you are trying to achieve, spends the needed time with your house and its setting, and then proposes a set of colors that may surprise you but will, before long, please you. She is conversant with the hundreds of colors of paint available from the leading paint manufacturers and is skilled in working with your painting contractor to assure that her vision is realized in the final product.
I hired Keatin when I was preparing my home for sale. She ended up advising me on the exterior color scheme and the colors of all the rooms. She also chose the floor and wall tile for two bathrooms. I give her a lot of the credit for the fact that the house quickly sold for my full asking price. I have recommended her to others and will continue to do so.''

"Keatin was truly the Color Whisperer. I hate to admit it, but we had a couple of other color consultants and had been a bit underwhelmed. Keatin gets color and design on a whole different level. I believe that she's one of those gifted people who can walk into a room and immediately see its potential. From my own failed color attempts, I kow that our home can be a little challenging. She found neutrals that not only didn't turn green but gave our home that sophisticated feel that I always knew was possible. She is also completely lovely to work with. I highly, highly recommend Keatin.''

"In the best case scenario, I will not list a home without bringing Keatin Holly into the process. “Keatin can make unsightly aspects of a home disappear and can improve on any space 1,000 fold! Several of my recent listings have sold over the asking price, in large part due to Keatin's color consultation and staging advice. She has the finest sensibilities in terms of color, space and design and if that wasn't enough, Keatin is an absolute joy to work with."

"Keatin came to us through DWELL magazine. She was one of our best “home” decisions we made. My partner and I have differing opinions on color choices . Keatin was able to come up with a look and feel for the house that we both fell in love with. Walking into my office, friends instinctively know it’s my space and the same for my partner’s. For our Exterior Project, Keatin created a tasteful palette that complements our neighbors, is contemporary and guarantees curbside appeal. However, in our private back deck area, she “channeled” our “Mullet House” personality. The result: We’re “all business”’ out front and unabashedly “party” in the back. Because of her flair AND practicality we can enjoy the best of both worlds.''
Lindsay Kenny: Professional coach, seminar leader,and artist on COLOR
" At first I was hesitant to spend the money for a color consultant, (especially since I myself am an artist) but after experiencing the results on our Tahoe/Donner 2nd home, I realized it was worth every penny and more! The house looks radiant and beautiful. I would highly recommend Keatin and her incredible talent to anyone looking to remodel or enhance their home.''
Vicki Whiting: Business Owner on COLOR and DESIGN
"One reason Keatin's talent and style worked for us is she LISTENS to us about how we wanted our home to look, not how she thought it should look. Together we worked with our furniture, art, lifestyle (dogs and kids) and budget to create qualities we wanted. Keatin worked with us in a way that we were able to move forward with comfort and ease. In short, she could be charging for marriage counseling as well as design services!''

"On behalf of Pier 400, Thank for such an outstanding job with the interior design project. Not until I received your photo album of before and after pictures did I truly realize the powerful impact of your work. We have received numerous compliments which are a credit to you. It was truly a pleasure working with you. Thanks Keatin. You brought us into the 21st century!"
Joy Zimmerman MFT and Jason Zimmerman: CEO and owner of Creative Merchandise Inc. on COLOR
"Keatin helped to make our first home together a haven in the middle of San Francisco. Her guidance and vision with color was superb, and her "out of the box" way of thinking opened us up to new ideas and color concepts we had not initially thought about. We have highly recommended Keatin to our friends and family, not only as a talented professional, but also as a patient person who is easy to work with and bounce ideas around with."
