  • QUOTE: Janine Higgins of Corte Madera -  “From a large Tiburon home to a hillside condo, this was not an easy transition. Thanks to Keatin, when my boys returned from college, they said this place felt more like home than any other house we’d lived in. I agree and now love the NEW FIT of my new life!" 
  • QUOTE:  Edie Block of San Francisco - "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."

Feng Shui

​A Chinese geomantic system used to determine the beneficial or harmful nature of land or buildings on humans. Although the Chinese form of feng shui has been most popularized here in the States, all cultures practice their own form of geomancy. Feng Shui has taught me to approach space with new eyes and a much bigger breath; a tool I carry with me everywhere.
