"Diane listened to our concerns about the cost of our home improvement, and wanting to live in our home during the entire time. She helped us prioritize everything, and outlined what we needed. The project went more smoothly than we ever imagined. Diane helped us to realize our dream of staying in our beautiful, contemporary, but too-small home in an idyllic neighborhood." M. & A. C.

 

"We were nervous about remodeling our kitchen, although it was in very bad shape, because we've had a lot of trouble with past projects. The design process solved all our problems, and we appreciated Diane's helpful suggestions and good judgment. The whole experience was positive, and we love our new kitchen." D. & L. S.-S.

 

"Diane knows where to spend the money and where to save money. I would have been overwhelmed with all the decisions needed, but Diane's approach is very organized and methodical and I was able to save a lot of money. She knows her products and gave me many choices without overwhelming me. It has been a pleasure working with Diane." E. G.

CHALLENGES:

  • The original kitchen didn’t match the “Contemporary Craftsman” look of the home’s exterior.
  • It lacked the convenience that the homeowners wanted.

SOLUTIONS:

  • Custom computer desk in the adjacent family room, freeing up space for pull-out pantries.
  • The original pantry became part of a new powder room, tucked under the stairway.
  • Custom cherry “Shaker” cabinets complement the look.
  • A cherry soffit was installed over the island for visual interest .
