Not only is Kyle extremely talented, professional, organized and dedicated, but he is
also the most honest individual whom I know. That is a rare quality in today’s society.
—Client
Kyle interpreted and implemented MY vision for MY home. With his extreme patience,
he utilized his razor-sharp sense of color along with his combination of patterns and
textures to create a scheme that is totally “me.” I don’t feel like I’m living in a “designed”
house; I’m living in the soothing house I always dreamed of.
—Client
I was Kyle's first client, over ten years ago and five houses since—from the Lanes of
Amagansett to the North Shore of Chicago. Today I thank Kyle every time I look at the
armoire that "makes" our master bedroom (an antique he discovered several hundred miles
away and convinced me to buy sight unseen) or every time I put my overnight bag on the
primitive bench in the bedroom at the beach. Kyle knows how people live in rooms and
combines the practical with the pleasing-to-the-eye.His designs are fun, flexible, and offer
a sophisticated yet never intimidating, fabulous sense of color.
—Client
I thought Kyle was out of his mind when he suggested I cover a club chair in emerald-green
cowhide, but that chair makes the room and remains my favorite piece of furniture—ever!

The 2008 Hamptons Cottages & Gardens Idea House was a success in great part due
to Kyle Timothy Blood. I have known him over the years as the consummate professional
who is adept at visualizing the overall project and then handling the details in the most
thorough and organized fashion. This talent combined with his creative and astute eye
has made him the designer people want to work with.
—Barbara Dixon, Editorial Director, Cottages & Gardens Publications
When we asked Kyle Timothy Blood to become Design Director for the 2008
Hamptons Cottages & Gardens Idea House, we had no idea of the complexities
he would encounter. Kyle took charge, implemented needed changes, offered
superior design ideas, and kept 23 talented designers “on message.”
The result? A visual and architectural triumph!
—Richard Ekstract, CEO, Cottages and Gardens Publications, LLC
"There are few designers who could manage the diverse and creative
personalities that were associated with the 2008 Hamptons Cottages & Gardens
Idea House, as Kyle did with such grace and poise"
—Ellen Hanson, Ellen Hanson Designs
It gives me great pleasure to recommend Kyle Timothy Blood as a top
professional in the fields of interior designer and architectural construction
management. I worked with Kyle on a large show-house project and experienced
first-hand his remarkable ability to interface with and manage numerous trades
people and designers under extremely challenging circumstances. He is a
problem-solver, able to think on his feet. He is able to work in and appreciate
a variety of styles. He brings talent, experience, and superior organizational
skills to a project. Most of all, Kyle makes it an enjoyable experience. I would
entrust him with any of my projects!
—Erica Millar, Designer
Our project was far from normal: 9000 square feet, built and decorated in just
nine months! Kyle saw what needed to be done and made it happen.
His expertise and professionalism never failed—and he had a sense of humor
to keep the entire team rolling, too. He was completely devoted to the project
and managed all scenarios with a level head. We would wholeheartedly
recommend Kyle, a talented designer, who has a lot more to offer to a potential
client than just design.
—Peter Sabbeth and Melissa Green, ModernGreenHome
"Kyle, throughout the years, I have worked with many designers and have found
that working with you has been a remarkable experience. Your creativity is amazing
and it is projected on all your projects. You use up-to-date concepts, have good solid
advice for your clients, and carry the projects to a perfect conclusion. I think your
most admirable trait is that you work well with your clients. Your ability to listen as
well as to explain technical aspects not only gives them assurance that their input
will be incorporated into the design but also helps them understand why and how
the projects will proceed."
—Jerry Solinski, Euro Antiques Services
