Working with Christa is a blast. As a first time homebuyer, so much of the design process was new to me and I was indecisive. Christa was incredibly patient and always available. She was able to tap into my style, capture my idea of “calm” and transfer those two factors into the art of her design for my condo. At the reveal, I was overwhelmed by how beautiful my home looked. It was exactly, to a tee, what I dreamt my home would look and feel like, it was absolutely perfect and brought me to happy tears! Couldn’t recommend Christa and her team enough!

Wow! Thank you so much Home in Harmony!!! I am simply in awe of our Oceanside space transformation! It’s a dream come true! Christa and Barbara truly transformed our small living room and kitchen into a truly breathtaking Ocean oasis. Everything from the furniture design to curtains to paintings is utterly exquisite. Now, I get to look out the window to a gorgeous ocean view as the result of their design expertise placing our breakfast table in a new spot. I am incredibly grateful for their knowledge and expertise, and kindness. They transformed my home into the most spectacular spot for my family. I can’t wait to host gatherings in my new space. Everything from the paintings, wall curtains, to bar cart was carefully picked and selected. They paid attention to every detail and touch. I am in awe and can’t say enough good things! They were so easy and fun to work with. They truly went above and beyond all expectations. Thank you again Home in Harmony! I can’t wait to bring you back for the next project!

Christa and her team were absolutely fabulous. Our house renovation project was a huge undertaking for us and we didn't know where to begin with the design work. Christa provided us with the step-by-step guidance we needed and prioritized the must-haves and alleviated a lot of the stress of making decisions. Christa interfaced with our contractor, her subcontractors and vendors to execute on her great ideas and make the visions a reality! Our kids said it best - when they walked in, it was like Christmas morning! We are sharing a photo of one of the beautiful rooms that Home in Harmony created for us. We love the results so much that we will continue working with Christa and her team on other projects in our house that weren't originally part of our renovation. Thank you Christa!

Home in Harmony provided excellent service for our Residential Model Unit. Christa mobilized her team in short order, to fully furnish a Two Bed/Two Bath Model Unit just in time for our Grand Open House. The style resonated perfectly with our Buyers, and resulted in multiple sales as a result of the furnished Model. Quality of design and furnishings was above and beyond. Christa was professional and easy to communicate with. We look forward to teaming together again with Home in Harmony on our next project!

I couldn’t be happier with my newly renovated basement with Christa and her team at Home in Harmony! Christa transformed my dark and dismal basement into a beautiful, functional, and cozy haven. Christa went above and beyond to carefully consider the vast amount of details that went into creating an amazing layout, design, and beautiful color scheme. My basement no longer looks or feels like a basement but rather, a special place to unwind after a long day. Thank you Christa!!!

My husband and I built a new home and we needed some help with the interior decorations. I had met Christa at a yoga class and I knew that she was in the business. I loved the feeling of safety and peace that I felt around her and so I knew we were in good hands. Christa has done an amazing job in my home and I highly recommend her. She has such an inante sense of placement, color, fabric and serenity that she has truly transformed our house into a home. We are more than happy with the work Christa has done for us and any time the need arises for her expertise we will surely call on her.

Words cannot express how happy I am with my home office and bedroom renovation by Christa and her team. Christa made sure to work within my budget. I have a very small bungalow. We started in my office. We had to make the space an office and guest room. Christa helped with wall color. (Melted Ice Cream. I love it) She chose the most fantastic desk and console. Then helped with the cutest chair and a half in denim that opens to a bed. I work in this office everyday and love it every morning when I start work. I am in this room sometimes for 10 hours. My bedroom is a peaceful retreat. Christa helped make this room serene. We chose a color palette I wouldn't normally choose, but it is beautiful. Christa is responsive, works within your budget, funny, and a real joy to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to work with her on another renovation. You will not be disappointed.

Christa from Home in Harmony helped me with several aspects of a complicated whole house renovation that lasted for over a year. Her skills in space planning and feng shui were really helpful during the early phase of the project when were rethinking the organization of existing space and contemplating adding on additional space. And during construction she very patiently accompanied me on trips to several stores to pick out millwork, tiles, counter tops, flooring, paint, and lighting. She very patiently helped me to make the multiple decisions about everything from the trim around windows to the placement of the lights over the kitchen island and in the entrance way. She suggested some inspired ideas throughout the project that have added some wonderfully warm touches to our home. For example, it was her idea to place a tiled "waterfall" wall behind the free standing bathtub and also to paint the tub base a bright blue to match the bedroom wall color. Those "pops" of color really add some warmth and personality to the small space. Christa and a colleague also stylized our home after we moved in, hanging photos and arranging other artwork and collectables throughout the house. The pictures below are not professionally taken and hopefully they convey the positive impact her design recommendations made in our home. Christa is a gem to work with - talented, creative, patient, kind, knowledgeable ... I highly recommend her for any project, large or small!

So I hired Christa as my designer to redo my kitchen, 4 baths, and family room. She was amazing is all I can say. If you want a job done right, with someone to make sure its done right, she is the one for you. What I loved best is that she has an amazing style and she would give me options that I could pick from. Otherwise way too overwhelming for someone who has no clue what is good or in. She kept the project moving, made sure we were on time, kept the contractors on their toes, and my home is absolutely beautiful. Her style is unique, gorgeous and calming. I love my new home, thanks to Christa! Worth every penny....if you can get her, your home or any project will be absolutely amazing! I would never do any project without her!

I have worked with Christa O'Leary of Home and Harmony on three significant projects and am presently working with her on another project. I am also familiar with her work on another project performed for a dear friend.
The main project on which we worked was the complete "recreation" of my home in 2007. I had been divorced and was living in an over 3,000 square foot house alone. My life had stagnated and I needed some change. Christa had recently helped a dear friend of mine Feng Shui her house and my friend loved what Christa had done to rearrange her house and help also with design tips and changes. I was looking to do the same in my house. Amazing that several months later she had done a complete Feng Shui analysis of my house,; we had junked about 2/3 of my furniture; she completely recreated the inside of my house with new paint and wallpaper and almost all new furniture. The house looked magnificent in every detail--large and small. The total job cost was upwards of $200,000.
About two years later when I decided to sell my house and move, Christa helped me analyze changes that could be made to improve the chances of selling the house at a better price. She redid my basement and three bathrooms and the house was ready for sale. It sold quickly for a good price. Well worth it!!
I also hired Christa to Feng Shui my law office. She spent an afternoon rearranging furniture and had my art re-framed and my office painted. Another wonderful and beautiful job.
Presently I am exploring leasing new space for my business. I have hired Christa to advise me on choosing the space and on the design of the space. We are in the early stages of this project and already Christa has been instrumental in helping me.
Christa has been wonderful to work with on all projects. Her ideas are unlimited; she is open to all suggestions and ideas; she is not afraid to tackle big issues, whether spiritual, emotional or physical; she is fun to work with; she is willing to pt in the time and effort to make things happen. I have loved working with her and look forward to continuing to do so. I have no qualms about referring anyone to Christa. Really, I cannot say enough wonderful things about her.

Christa helped us re-envision and create magic in four rooms in our house. It was clear to me that she had a very strong and clear vision for what these rooms could look and feel like. To be honest, I was at first uncomfortable with some of the recommendations. However, I also recognized that this discomfort was merely coming from holding onto that which didn’t serve me. I trusted her, her expertise, and her team, and I am so grateful that I did!
Whether it was reorganizing space, painting the walls, changing the lighting, going with a color scheme that I wasn’t sure was going to work, when installation was complete, these rooms came to life with what they were meant to be. She took an incredible amount of time during installation to make sure that the entire room looked spectacular, even re-organizing little spaces and finding just-right pieces to enhance the overall feel. I will absolutely use Christa for any project that I have going forward. I give Home in Harmony my highest possible recommendation.
