Kimberly Merrit IDS, CDP, ADE, IRIS, DCI, BBB Director Principal Designer Considered an expert in her field, Kimberly has been creating beautiful spaces for as long as she can remember. Weekends were spent rearranging furniture, shopping for antiques and entertaining with her mother - a pioneer redesigner.

Her career began on Newbury Street in Boston, MA where she dressed windows and fashionable Bostonians. When she made the switch to interiors, she always practiced the concept of 'using what you already own' from the beginning and continues to offer affordable design solutions to her clients. Eighteen years later , she still loves what she does.

She is a designer, educator and writer whose words and work have been featured regionally and nationally in New Hampshire Magazine,  New England Home Magazine,  and HGTV.

She teaches the art of interior decorating, interior redesign, home staging and color from her southern New Hampshire design studio.  She is the creator of the Certified Decorating Professional® programs and offers both certified and certificate courses as well as decorating workshops and classes.
