"I lost my job last month due to this economy... At a time of being personally challenged, it's the warm comfort of my beautiful nest that helps me stay grounded. Home is where our story begins. Thanks again for helping me create that feeling of 'home'."

- Pam, Marietta, GA



"I just can't even describe what I felt when I walked into my house.  It is SO BEAUTIFUL. I just can't believe all that you have been able to do. Thank you, thank you so much.  I can't wait to show it off to my family & friends when they are here for the wedding...You have both been so great to work with, I'm glad I found you!"

Meet Joann and Kelly

Kelly Kole, Allied ASID, found her true love - interior design - after an 11-year career in luxury Property Management. Kelly completed her studies at the University of Richmond and the Art Institute of Atlanta. Kelly's business, sales and people skills that she honed during her corporate years have helped her immensely in building first Kelly Kole Interiors, Inc. and then Kandrac & Kole Interior Designs, Inc.

During her first three years as a designer for Decorating Mart, in Marietta, Georgia, Kelly was fortunate to meet Joann Kandrac.

Joann Kandrac, IFDA, was the accessory/furniture buyer for Decorating Mart for 13 years. Not only was she responsible for displaying the 25,000 sq. ft. showroom, but she taught accessory arrangement classes and managed to do residential design work for a portfolio of clients as well.

Joann and Kelly joined their respective talents to form Kandrac & Kole Interior Designs, Inc. in Atlanta, Georgia. They have spent years building relationships with companies that offer quality products, fair pricing and exceptional customer service.  Whether it be quality crafted furniture, flooring, antiques or custom made soft furnishings and window treatments, these relationships help make each project run smoothly, beautifully, and on time!

While these two partners are seasoned and gifted design professionals, their approach is fresh and innovative. You will find them extremely approachable, enthusiastic and fun.  Joann and Kelly work closely with their clients, defining their needs and wishes in imaginative ways that resist "formula decorating". 

Joann and Kelly's designs are functional, real life designs that still have a flair - whether it be a traditional foyer, an elegant dining room, a funky teenagers' room or a comfortable outdoor space - they all have a signature reflective of a collaborative effort between Joann, Kelly and their clients. This collaborative effort is built on trust and the innate vision of Kandrac & Kole for each individual project.
