The right designer can help you see an open concept room when you can’t see through the walls.

Today, that house would probably lead most of us into home search despair, but not Kari Arendsen. Intimate Living Interiors signature ranch-coastal fusions have transformed homes that were sure tear-downs into the classic home on the block; and often, with only relatively minor cosmetic edits.
