Interior Styling Services
Approachable Design for Real Homes — and Real Life
Design doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It doesn’t have to be expensive. And it definitely doesn’t have to feel like it belongs to someone else’s life.
The Little Blue Barn brings a warm, collected approach to interior styling — mixing vintage character with modern function, keeping real families in mind, and focusing on spaces that feel intentional and livable from day one.
Room Refresh
A Room Refresh is a focused design service that transforms one space in your home without a full renovation. It’s perfect for rooms that feel unfinished, outdated, or simply no longer reflect your style — but don’t require construction. Think of it as giving your space new energy using thoughtful edits, intentional color, and curated styling.
What’s Included
Often, a space doesn’t need to be torn apart — it needs to be refined. Small, strategic changes can dramatically improve how a room looks and feels without unnecessary expense.
Design Boards
A Design Board is a visual plan that brings your room together before anything is purchased or installed — a curated layout of furniture, finishes, colors, textures, and accessories selected to create a cohesive and intentional space.
Design boards remove guesswork. Instead of wondering if pieces will work together, you’ll see how everything flows before making a single commitment.
What’s Included
Each board is tailored to your home’s architecture, lighting, and lifestyle — not pulled from a template.
Color Consultations
Color is one of the most powerful and most misunderstood tools in design. The wrong color can make a room feel smaller, darker, or just off. The right one transforms a space — and a home.
Karen’s color consultations are grounded in a lifelong study of color theory, years of hands-on paint experience, and a deep understanding of Colorado’s unique lighting conditions.
Furniture Sourcing
Finding the right piece can transform a space. The wrong one can throw everything off. Karen sources intentionally — not randomly — searching local showrooms, trade vendors, estate sales, vintage markets, antique shops, Facebook Marketplace, and regional artisans to find pieces that truly fit your vision and your life.
What’s Included
Investment: sourced pieces are priced at item cost + 25% sourcing fee. Transportation and delivery coordinated as needed.
Tailored Sourcing for Statement & Hard-to-Find Pieces
Some pieces are worth searching for. Whether you’re looking for a vintage statement cabinet, perfectly scaled lighting, a unique textile, or a modern anchor piece, Karen sources with your overall design vision — and your real life — in mind.
I specialize in locating one-of-a-kind, character-rich pieces that aren’t easily found in big box stores — blending vintage charm with modern function for spaces that feel layered and timeless.
If the perfect piece exists, I’ll find it.
