PROBLEMS: Homeowners in Hillsboro lived with an outdated kitchen for years that included storage-wasting soffits, oak cabinets, and mauve countertops.

CREATIVE SOLUTIONS: Seeing an alternative layout that included swapping the location of the refrigerator and range, they made an informed decision about a layout that was perfect for them. The “Cambria” countertops are perfect for their needs, and include a custom table tucked in under the overhang — great for easily seating five people, or for the husband to keep his wife company while she prepares meals for them. Stone-looking gray tile in two sizes enhances the backsplash with sophisticated flair. Yes, more storage was captured when the soffits disappeared! The new kitchen is elegant and timeless, and functional with storage accessories galore!

TESTIMONIAL: We recently completed a kitchen remodel and interior update to our 1992 home. A key part of the project was selecting a professional designer. We found Diane by researching on Houzz.

At our 1st site meeting we knew Diane was the person who would help us make our dream come true. She listened to us and in a short time produced a plan that made it easy to visualize the end result. Her professional and detailed plans were key to making sure our entire project team knew what to do.

Diane’s knowledge of home building techniques and materials is extensive. She provided support during product selection and was invaluable during problem solving discussions with our Contractor. Diane was a true partner in our project and helped make sure we achieved our “dream come true”. We could not be happier with the finished project and would highly recommend Diane to anyone planning a remodel project.
