The 11th Annual CWE Window Walk kicks off Saturday, December 5 — and local designers have been hard at work transforming the neighborhood into a winter wonderland.
Window Walk brings back the time-honored tradition of going downtown to see festive windows, while showcasing the CWE’s retail and dining establishments. Local designers partner with select businesses to decorate their windows, and this year’s theme for all designs is “Family, Friends, and Neighbors” — a special reminder that even though this year’s festivities may look and feel a little bit different, our loved ones (whether near or far) can still bring us joy this holiday season.

Karen Korn Interiors | The Silver Lady
Interior design can be anything you imagine, and with an eye for details… I imagine it all.
As my client, I honor your tastes and vision, while gently nudging you past your comfort zone (where true magic happens). I listen closely and observe the way you live your life. I then trust my instincts and take strategic risks to design a space where you can live comfortably.
I love to play on symmetry, balance, color and pattern to create enough tension to be interesting, but tranquil at the same time. I appreciate all styles and time periods, and revel in the juxtaposition between old and new, historic and trendy. My design approach is classic, tailored, stylish, dramatic and playful.

Allison Williams Design | Bonobos
I have a passion for making homes pretty and practical. From the time I owned my first home, I was accessorizing bookshelves, beautifying planters, and creating gallery walls. I knew I had the passion and the eye for design, but I wanted to learn the fundamentals behind it. In the Fall of 2019, I quit my job in Communications and enrolled in a comprehensive course from the Interior Design Institute of San Francisco. I graduated in Spring 2020 with a greater knowledge of the elements and principles of design. I realized that expensive products need not be necessary to have a beautiful home; it is more about how you put pieces together to achieve a harmonious space. That is what I enjoy and what I want to do with your space!

Offering clients the “entire” design + build experience made even more sense and KH Interiors, LLC was formed. Krista often says that the greatest part of being a designer is getting to know the personalities of all of her clients and their homes.

Melbrooke Interiors | Bluemercury
I’ve been in the Interior Design business for about 20 years. I absolutely love what I do as much today as the day I began my business. I’ve met such wonderful people as clients who I’m grateful to say have become friends over the years. I delve into all design styles and genres, so my work never gets routine. My clients’ styles run the gamut from super traditional to contemporary, with the vast majority of them falling someplace in the middle. I am very fortunate to get to help all kinds of families create spaces that they’re proud to call home.
