  • “I have been a client of Carole King for about five years now. During this time, she has helped me redesign and redecorate both my homes: one on Cape Cod and the other in Florida. Due to the proximity of my home on Cape Cod to the office location, Carole was able to visit many times. She did an amazing job of putting my ideas and visions together to produce exactly what I was hoping for. I was anticipating this process to be wrought with anxiety and headaches but her calming demeanor proved otherwise. I am so pleased with how everything looks – so pleased that I asked if she could also transform my home in Florida…sight unseen, relying only on photos. Again, she nailed it. Working with Carole was an absolute pleasure. I recommend her top-notch interior design skills and her warm personality to anyone – especially those who are dreading the entire process.”

  • “I recently moved into an apartment, By myself, after many years of living with a family of four. Really sucked. Faced with the prospect of furnishing and living in a new small space I was immediately aware I knew little about the logic and sensibility of how furniture and wall space and windows can work together. Enter Carole King of Porter and Mags. Carole's vast knowledge of design for interiors and materials was a real eye opener for me. She worked with the things I had, the artwork I already owned and had suggestions for new things that would really help me feel at home in a new foreign space, like lighting. Lighting is important to photographers! She had suggestions on how to breathe new life into an old sofa, and how to optimize my teeny tiny workspace with an extra shelf that fit the desk size perfectly. She looked, listened, and went to work brainstorming and offering good ideas one after another. Carole is a one-of-a-kind interior design genius who will get you and help you in ways you have never imagined.”

  • “Carole creates beautiful solutions. Even if you don't use Details for interior design services, you should visit the store. The boutique is delightful and carries a wide variety of textiles, decor, and even some furniture.”

  • “Details has an amazingly eclectic selection of home furnishings that you won't find in any other store on the Cape. I go there first for birthday presents, Christmas ideas and furniture. I got a chair from there that goes beautifully in my home. Her prices are very reasonable for the individuality of what you get.”
