What's
most gratifying about my work is when, after a job is completed, a
client tells me how their new kitchen, master bedroom, or family room
has changed how they use their home - literally how they live. I love
hearing about the cocktail parties, the family get-togethers or just
the quiet, reflective time spent in their new environments. Most of
all, I really love it when they call to say that they are so happy
with their home, they don't want to leave it.
Influenced by travel, art, music and fashion, Waltzer incorporates
the essence of these subjects in each project, whether in metaphor
or the form of custom furniture, or creating a color palette, a
sensitive updating, a brand new home or commercial space. Equally,
influencing a project is the architectural style and the client
requirements.
When I started Kathryn Waltzer Interior Design it was with the
philosophy of individual design for individual, "out of the box,"
people. I am inspired by clients who are interested in pushing the
envelope and working with visually exciting ideas. My clients range
from bankers, authors, newspaper editors, engineers, graphic artists,
film director, surgeons, lawyers, television executives and producers,
actors and a pro athlete.
