About

Collected is more than great design. It is a lifestyle, a mindset. Collected says that you care about the environment in which you live and the world you leave behind. It says new is great, but not always better; that you value the past and present, and believe the legacy you leave should be one of resourcefulness, reflective self-expression and appreciation for the things you have and the stories they tell. Karen believes your home shouldn’t be a revolving door for passing fads and fashions, and adheres to the concept that design shouldn’t be a disposable proposition. Committed to giving second chances, she will look for every opportunity to reuse or repurpose wherever she can before purchasing new.  And, if you are looking for just the right piece to add to your current design, the Collected design by KB on-line store is chock full of interesting, one-of-a-kind furnishings and décor items looking for a new home and family to serve for many years to come.
