Testimonials
“Happily, we will have worked with Carey for over 25 years and have had a number of successful projects as a result. A ‘dining-library’, living room, bathroom, and even a screened porch have come together beautifully...with that sometimes elusive combination of both style and professionalism.”
— Buck Waller and Michael Hash
“Carey Kirk and I joined forces 27 years ago. What started as a terrific working relationship turned into a friendship. Both being southerners, we speak the same language and have a great collaboration that is easy and comfortable. Because of Carey’s talent, I love every home we have done as a team!”
— Susan LaSalla
“Carey Kirk is terrific. We started working with Carey in 2014, at the recommendation of our real estate agent, and we have regularly worked with him ever since. There is no higher praise than being a regular customer! Carey can readily handle everything from fabrics and furniture to fixtures and wall coverings, and he has even helped coordinate work with our general contractor. No task is too big or too small, and Carey manages all of them with grace and a delightful sense of humor. We have engaged him on projects at our home in the DC suburbs as well as our weekend house on the Eastern Shore. We recommend Carey wholeheartedly!”

“My husband and I used Carey for the lighting, countertops, tile, roof and shutters, interior and exterior paint, window treatments, rugs, furniture and all other aspects of the finishing of our newly built home. Carey was everything we could have asked for in a designer. He is the epitome of "taste", exemplified by his advice on where and how to hang our artwork. He's meticulous in his attention to detail with an outstanding sense of colors, lighting and flow. He's very practical, comfortable working in different price ranges and timely in his responses.
Carey also had a talent for integrating the best of our existing belongings into interior design plans while providing honest answers to all our questions. Perhaps our favorite Carey quip was when we asked him if we could make do with our 30-year-old sofa. He immediately sat down on it and then, in his always-polite manner, responded "Hmmm, I don't think it owes you anything." And for those that need it, he is also the consummate broker of the marital differences that often ensue in building and furnishing a home. In this unimaginable year we've been through, Carey's work has made it a pleasure to stay in our house.”
