Designer

My name is Mary Kathrine Focht (friends and

clients call me Katie) and I’m the owner and sole

interior designer for MK Interiors. My husband Eric

and 2 kids Brody and Shelby moved from

Sammamish Washington to the Eagle/Boise area

in 2019, and it’s been a whirlwind immersing

ourselves into the community, kids sports, and

activities, enjoying the outdoors and building the

home of our dreams.

I took the plunge starting my interior design

business when I finally took my own advice I

always gave my kids, “find something you love to

do, and figure out a way to make a living at it.”


Interior design was always my creative outlet. It’s

what I did after a long workday, whether it was

transforming our old fixer-upper or helping friends

and family with their homes. I loved taking

something that wasn’t much to look at and making

it into something beautiful. Creating a home that

was both inviting and special gave me immense

joy. I was always told “You missed your calling” for

not making it a career. I decided to finally pursue

my passion, and it was the best decision I EVER

made.

Starting from our fixer-upper to designing our

dream home and now having designed several

dream homes for my clients from the ground up,

I’ve learned invaluable lessons along the way. The

experience gave me the confidence to navigate

through each phase of the design process, and

finding just the right furniture and styling pieces to

make or break a space. Never underestimate the

power of a solid pillow game!

I felt an amazing sense of validation by following

my passion when recently winning the 2023 Best

Of Boise Award for my Interior Design Business and

rated in the top 10 for Idahos Best Interior

Designers. Having my work featured by McGee

& Co, Pottery Barn, Home Bunch, Rowe and others

has been the cherry on top to making my passion

a career. I’m extremely grateful for the amount of

interest, support, and referrals that have come my

way in such a short amount of time.

I’ve met and worked with some of the most

amazing people, and so thankful they entrusted

me with their sacred spaces. I truly LOVE what I do.

I get to transform a house into a home, creating a

personal sanctuary where a family loves to come

back to. Where you entertain, decompress, make

memories and create traditions. Your space should

be beautiful, reflect your personal style and bring

you joy.

If you get overwhelmed with trying to figure out

design selections for your home, I’d love the

opportunity to help make your dream home a

reality.
