“We had a very outdated kitchen that was in desperate need of a renovation.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.”

“Karen was very professional and worked closely with myself and all the contractors from start to finish. I had an odd space to open up to make a bathroom/spa, from 2 smaller rooms into one large room. She creatively came up with a solution to make a beautiful large master bath. She helped me pick the best materials for my budget, and was always available and responsive throughout the whole process. She even would come to my house and let in the builders if I was unavailable!

We had some unforeseen challenges, one being a tub that could not be installed within code. She handled this challenge and resolved it satisfactorily even when the manufacturer would not take it back. I would definitely recommend Karen and will likely call her in the future too.”
