Authentic Home Reviews

"Kathy quickly assessed my desires for my kitchen remodel and researched the exact hardwood floors, granite countertops, and paint colors that really pulled everything together. I loved her idea for a stainless mosaic backsplash which compliments the stainless appliances together. I would have never painted my ceiling before Kathy encouraged me to. The color compliments all of the other elements in the space. My family and I are very happy we now live in an up-to-date kitchen."

"After several attempts with other companies to create window treatments for our living room and master bedroom, I was lucky enough to find Authentic Home after reading an article in a local magazine. They came into our home and helped us not only with window treatments but also exterior paint colors. Both rooms now look finished and they are warm and inviting, exactly what we wanted. We can't wait to paint the exterior of our house in the Spring with the colors they helped us choose."

"As soon as I was alone in my room, I jumped on my new bed covers and just said pretty loud “oh my god I LOVE this room! Then I fell on the bed and started opening and closing the curtains. I thought you did a fantastic job and I so happy and extremely thankful. It’s fun yet elegant, and I couldn’t quite believe this was MY room! Thank you so much! (12 year old)"

"We love the feeling of warmth that each room exudes with the great colors that Authentic Home helped us choose for our home. They were flexible, open-minded and patient enough to answer and reach agreement on different options that satisfied even an Engineer’s approach."

I can't believe the difference color has made in our home. Authentic Home helped us choose colors that we enjoy and that work with our surroundings — colors that we love, but would have hesitant to choose on our own. With their ability and skill to "flow" our home, and the quality of Devine paint, our home has been transformed."

"After almost a year of trying to choose interior colors for my home and not having any luck, a friend referred me to Kathy at Authentic Home. After just an hour, I had several unique colors chosen for every room in my home that not only reflected my own personal style but complimented the charracter of my old home. Frustrated with the many color swatches I'd painted on my wall, I was day's away from going completely "white." After an hour with Kathy at Authentic Home, we were able to find some amazing colors that gave my home the warm, cozy feel that it lacked before."

"Authentic Home did such a great job working with me to select the precise colors that both allowed my home to shine and increased my enjoyment of its spaces, that I asked them to do the same for my beach house. I was not disappointed; they have a terrific eye for the interaction of colors and spaces.

We used Devine paint throughout. It's incredibly easy to put on -- often requiring only one coat -- looks great and is so cost effective. My first stop on any future painting and decorating projects will be Authentic Home and Devine paint."

"As a result of how much I believe in the power of color, I have referred family and friends to Authentic home. I have even suggested Kathy should open a Mill Creek satellite office."

Kathy and Staff,

I just wanted to thank you for all of your help with me personally and all of the professional service you have given to my clients over the past years. Your association with Devine paint and your vast knowledge of color has greatly improved the marketablity and market time of my listings. I have received nothing but praise from my clients, other agents as well as the public on the colors and the warm inviting feeling Devine paint brings to the home.

I am a big fan of Devine paint and your professional staff! Thanks again for of your help I look forward to our continued working relationship!

I wanted to pass on my gratitude to Authentic Home for their help and advice in helping me with the renovation of our real estate office in West Seattle.

I received tremendous service with advice on color options and a thorough walk through of the office area. Upon choosing colors and painting the interior, the building looked remarkably better and warmer for our customers and associates who use the facility. It's amazing what color can do for an office and I am most impressed with our transformation.

My sincerest thanks to Kathy Banak and Authentic Home, we will recommend you over and over to our clients.

"I DO love the paint. It is one of the most amazing experiences of my life to come home to such a beautiful transformation. Its like we have a COMPLETELY new house. I feel like I'm wrapped in warm blankets…but not in a smothered way. Its just wonderful. I can't wait to keep moving forward now that we have such a huge jump start on the house. And tonight I’ll start "handle shopping" for the cabinets. It is truly wonderful."
