We highly recommend Karen Warner Design LLC.

When we contacted Karen, we had just downsized to a smaller home. The L-shaped kitchen had builder-grade oak cabinets in poor condition, little usable counter space, mismatched appliances, and one drawer. The square footage was adequate, but poorly used.

After meeting with us to determine our budget, wish list, and likes and dislikes, Karen came up with a floor plan that was almost perfect from the start. Her plan increased the counter space and number of drawers, enhanced the lighting, and added an island, a bookcase, and a charging station. After six weeks of renovation, the kitchen is a dream come true.

Karen is a competent, confident, detail-oriented, easy to work with, respected by the contractors we used, and, above all, calm. She put us in touch with a network of building professionals who have the same attention to detail and service as she does. We are totally pleased with the results. Now I have plenty of drawers, including one that’s still empty!

“I hired Karen to guide the remodeling of two bathrooms. I had a good idea of what I wanted, but needed her design sense to pull it together and her experience to find the materials (cabinets, tile, etc.) to accomplish that look. Karen was great at listening and making sure she knew what I wanted. She also made sure that she understood my budget, and worked with me to achieve it. She had no problem limiting her work, and allowing me to do some of it to help with the cost. She made great recommendations, but was never pushy with her opinions. She located a number of possibilities for tiles and cabinets to choose from that would give me the look I wanted. She brought them over, and we laid them out, propped them up, etc., until I was able to make the choice. She drew up the design so everything would work together, and made sure that everything would meet code. She looked in regularly as the construction progressed to make sure it was coming together as specified, and consulted with the work crew to iron out any issues. I couldn’t be happier with how the bathrooms turned out.”
