Renovating Irish holiday homes for American owners — every trade managed on the ground.

“Thank you for the care and attention you and your staff have given to our new home. You made it happen. My husband and I are truly enjoying our newly finished and furnished holiday home. I hope you have saved before and after pictures, because no one would believe it was the same place. It is warm, comfortable and elegant — just what we had planned. You worked very hard to get just the right touches.”

“Ruth Kennelly designed and managed a complete refurbishment of my house. I trusted her judgement and style, so much so that I handed her the keys and went away on holidays for three weeks! And what a result — a fantastic revamp from old to new. I have no hesitation in highly recommending RK Designs to family and friends alike.”

“We built a 3,500 square foot French style lodge using largely reclaimed materials. We employed Ruth Kennelly to design an interior that followed this 'old world' French theme. What I loved about Ruth is the way she really listened, turning infantile ideas into practical realities with flair and enthusiasm. Ruth's experience and contacts saved us so much time, legwork and money. Highly recommended — we're thrilled with our home.”
