The KTE Journal

It’s Sunday morning, and there is a misty rain falling outside our living room window, with my candle lit, and three dogs surrounding me as I write. It’s a very cozy morning, to say the least, and it’s right where I want to be. It’s been two weeks since I produced a client’s wedding in […]

It feels surreal to be writing this blog, and after having a couple of months to let it really soak in, I couldn’t be more excited to share our story with you. It was barely 6:00 in the morning on Saturday, June 26th when I started to wake because J.R. was tossing and turning. At […]

Just as spring began to emerge here in the Pacific Northwest, we received a much-welcomed phone call. A doting husband asked us to throw his wife an intimate and memorable celebration dinner in their home to mark her 40th birthday.

Although the month of January seemed to feel like molasses, we’ve had the most beautiful start to spring here in Portland with the landscape in full bloom. The colors are bright, the air is crisp and it’s times like these where I couldn’t love being in the Pacific Northwest more. Our 2020 year started with […]

The start of a new decade welcomes us with open arms, and like so many, our resolutions are off to a strong start, and we are optimistic about what lies ahead. As this time of year is known for having the full-court press mentality, I’ve taken the beginning of the year to reflect on 2019, […]

Every event is tailored to our client, design, and atmosphere that we aim to execute, and one of the most important components of bringing all three of those items together is the creation of the master floor plan.
