“We had a very outdated kitchen that was in desperate need of a renovation. We did a lot of research and worked with an in-house kitchen designer for about a month before seeking out an independent designer (Karen). We wanted an independent designer that would not have company-influenced biases when putting together a plan for our kitchen. We were confident after our first meeting with Karen that she was the right person to do the job.
Karen is a great listener and took the time to understand what our needs were and how we use our kitchen. We didn’t need to change much about the layout but removed all the old cabinets, countertops and flooring. Karen worked with us to plan a revised layout to suit our needs. She also helped us find an excellent local cabinet maker to implement her design. She made many creative suggestions for the layout of the cabinets that makes our new kitchen look unique.
Karen is truly invested in her work and it shows in her attention to all the details. After our kitchen was finished she came by to see the finished product and spent time carefully looking everything over and listening to feedback so that she can carry the experience forward to future projects. She was very responsive and reliable throughout the project.
We are thrilled with our kitchen and can’t imagine a better outcome! We are amazed at how easy it is to work in the new space – everything fits perfectly and is just where we need it.”
We hired Karen to help us update a full master bathroom and a connecting vanity. We couldn’t be happier with the result. Karen assisted us in finalizing the overall design of our project, including floor, cabinet and countertop materials, and lighting and plumbing fixtures.
She was particularly helpful in the design of our custom shower. Her experience working with the various sub-contractors and the detailed design instructions and illustrations she provided to our contractor were instrumental to the success of our project.
She has a flexible work style, adapting to our preferences regarding the amount of her engagement with our contractor and sub-contractors, in addition to providing the option to leverage her contacts for the sourcing of fixtures and materials. Karen was very punctual, organized, and responsive, making the projecting much less stressful for us. We happily recommend her for your bathroom remodel project.
