No pretty pictures of fancy tablescapes this year, but very thankful nonetheless. Thankful to God, for all his blessings, to the wonderful doctors, nurses and staff at Emory Orthopaedics who did Tanner's shoulder surgery yesterday, to our community of friends and family for their prayers and well-wishes, and for this amazing kid who still has a smile on face despite his injuries this season.

So whether you are celebrating in the usual manor or a little differently (like us this year), we wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!🦃

My dad was the best at a lot of things, but birthdays were his specialty. You always woke up to a banner he had made, balloons, streamers, and him singing, "You say it's your birthday. . ." I couldn't let today go by without wishing him a Heavenly Happy 80th! Wish I could be with you to get one of your amazing hugs(also something he was the best at). Happy birthday Dad - I love and miss you every day❤️

Thank you for selecting K Kong Designs to be a Featured Designer for the AD Directory alongside so many talented interior designers and architects. We are thrilled to be included!

From the editors, "Principal designer Kristin Kong cites the 1970s and ’80s as inspirations. Her wholly 21st-century interiors reflect the same bold, daring spirit: They seek out color, pattern, or sculptural forms to create spaces with a spark.”

Posted • This patterned primary is in full bloom🌸⁠
⁠
Inside the 2024 and designed to revel in the spring season, the primary bedroom resembles a lush garden oasis. Designer worked exclusively with a seasonal color palette of fresh green, royal blue, buttery yellow, and soft pinks. Lavish drapery envelops the space in a blue and green floral pattern, a botanical nod that is echoed in the daybed’s leaf-print upholstery. An antique French armoire and carved bed give the bedroom a traditional feel that is enlivened by a pair of antique nightstands unexpectedly painted pale green. ⁠

Design tip! Transform your dining room with the perfect rug size! Make sure your rugs are just right for your space - not overcrowded but not too small. This dining room showcases a rug that perfectly fits all the dining chairs, making it both stylish and functional.
In this project, a hand-loomed low-pile neutral rug from is the perfect complement to the deep upholstery chosen for the chairs and it does not compete with the bold patterned drapery fabric from .
Rugs that are properly sized and perfectly in tune with a room’s color palette create a beautiful balance!

Reflecting on the invaluable experience at a recent retreat in Charlottesville VA with my incredible Design Leadership Network Forum. Delving deep into our industry, exploring historic sites like Monticello and UVA's campus, and indulging in boutique shopping was enriching. Grateful for this opportunity to connect, learn, and grow alongside esteemed professionals. Designers thrive on both creativity and business acumen - a balance we continuously strive to achieve. I’m honored to be part of such an inspiring community of creatives!

I’ll be sharing more of my time on the retreat so stay tuned!
