The first was my kitchen remodel from top to bottom 5 years ago including a large picture window, new appliances, new tile floor, redesigned island with plenty of storage and she gave me a walk-in pantry. Then she designed the master bathroom which was just completed in May, 2026. She made it light and bright with new plumbing, tile and vanity cabinets.. Her signature design is modern with clean lines. Kelly completed the design drawings and all measurements needed by the construction team, made sure all the fixtures were selected and ordered and coordinated with the general contractor to insure her design translated to the build. She is very easy to work with, on time and always available for any questions or to trouble shoot things that may arise. She also has contacts for stone work, tile, paint and general contractors. I would definitely refer Kelly without hesitation and it has been a pleasure to work with her. **Comment from UNIQ Kitchen and Bath Designs:** > Hi Sandy, > Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! I'm so glad you are happy with the results. Working with you on your kitchen remodel and most recently your bathroom remodel was truly rewarding. Thank you for your trust and I look forward to working with you on future projects. **★★★★★ — Kevin Clark, Nov. 2025** > Fantastic Experience with a Talented Kitchen & Bath Design Professional - Exceptional Service, Creativity, and Expertise > > My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with an extraordinary kitchen designer, and I am happy to share our experience. We first had the pleasure of working with Kelly 10 years ago, where she did a wonderful job creating a totally new primary bathroom for us. When the time came for us to remodel the kitchen, we chose Kelly again. From the start of the project, it was comforting to know that we were in the hands of someone both knowledgeable and passionate about their craft. Her understanding of kitchen design trends, materials, and layouts was impressive, and she took the time to explain every step of the process in detail. > > Creativity Beyond Expectations. What truly sets Kelly apart is her remarkable creativity. She listened carefully to our ideas and preferences, then transformed them into a design that was both beautiful and highly functional. Her ability to find innovative solutions to challenging spaces and to seamlessly blend style with practicality made the entire project exciting and rewarding. > > Reliability is another quality that stood out throughout our collaboration. Kelly was always prompt, met every deadline, and communicated clearly at every stage. We never had to worry about delays or misunderstandings. She also has access to outstanding contractors, cabinet makers, tile setters and granite fabricators, which made our renovation process smooth and stress-free. > > Exceptional Results. The final outcome exceeded our expectations. Our new kitchen is not only stunning but also tailored to our lifestyle and needs. We’ve received countless compliments from friends and family, and we genuinely enjoy cooking and spending time in our beautiful new kitchen every day. > > Highly Recommended. If you are looking for a kitchen designer who is fantastic, knowledgeable, creative, and reliable, I wholeheartedly recommend this professional. Her expertise and dedication made all the difference, and I am confident she will deliver outstanding results for anyone seeking a dream kitchen. **★★★★★ — Denise Brown, Oct. 2024** > Kelly Hendricks helped us transform our 1973 depressing, poorly-functioning kitchen into a beautiful, open, functional space that includes the living and dining rooms as well as the kitchen. It involved removing a wall and all the old cabinetry and replacing them with an island and all new custom cupboards. We couldn’t have done it without her expertise and creativity. She quickly honed in on our style preferences and did a lot of hand-holding as we picked new materials. She worked efficiently with our contractors and knows many vendors in town. Her knowledge extends beyond design, to the trades such as electrical and plumbing. She followed up on every detail to make sure it was absolutely perfect. We highly recommend her! **★★★★★ — Sara, Oct. 2024** > I came across Kelly at UNIQ Kitchen and Bath Designs while searching for an independent kitchen designer for a kitchen remodel I was planning. I interviewed multiple design/remodel companies who had their own internal design team as well as other independent designers and went with Kelly for her experience and services offered. We really wanted a kitchen that worked best for our needs, maximized every square inch of space and fit our design esthetic and we felt that going with an independent designer would deliver this and it absolutely did and then some. We are SO happy with how our kitchen turned it, it is truly our dream kitchen both in how it looks and how it functions. Kelly had awesome ideas that we would not have thought of on our own (fabulous coffee nook in a little previously awkward corner, wine storage and bar area under our stairs!) and gently guided us to including some items we were initially resistant to but have since been so happy to have (second small bar-so handy for washing hands, small beverage fridge to get all those sparkling waters and beverages out of the main fridge and hanging pendant lights in the powder bathroom, love them!). We could not be happier with the results and would not hesitate to recommend Kelly to anyone looking for an experienced designer for their project. **★★★★★ — solequeen57, May 2024** > Kelly is wonderful, a true professional. We spent a good amount of time fine tuning my ideas and budgets and then with her guidance my project is a huge success. > Kelly’s experience combined with her ability to translate customer needs are the secret to a successful project. We remodeled two 50 year-old bathrooms into gorgeous spaces that meet all our needs. I highly recommend her for your project! **Comment from UNIQ Kitchen and Bath Designs:** > =) Thank you so much Sole Queen for the awesome review! I appreciate it so much! A true pleasure working with you, I hope we get to do it again someday! **★★★★★ — Debbie Slavick, Oct. 2023** > As homeowners embarking on a significant remodel of our house, we were fortunate to have the guidance and design expertise of Kelly Hendricks. What initially began as a project focusing on the master bath and kitchen swiftly evolved into a comprehensive overhaul of our entire home, thanks to her remarkable skills and dedication. > > From the very beginning, Kelly impressed us with her adeptness in drafting meticulous designs, incorporating our vision while infusing her artistic talents. She went above and beyond to continuously work until we were 100% satisfied coming up with options that we would have never thought of without her vision. What truly sets her apart is her unwavering commitment to overseeing every facet of the renovation process. She seamlessly coordinated with contractors and tradespeople, ensuring that the execution aligned seamlessly with the blueprint. No detail was too small for her attention, and her tireless efforts were evident in every area of our transformed space. > > Beyond her impressive design skills, Kelly displayed exceptional knowledge across various disciplines, from electrical systems to plumbing intricacies. Her comprehensive understanding of the technical aspects streamlined the construction process. > > What truly distinguished her was her unwavering dedication to our project. Throughout the journey, she patiently walked us through each phase, assuaging our concerns and offering invaluable insights that enriched our decision-making. Her personalized approach and genuine concern for our satisfaction exemplified her commitment to creating not just a house but a home tailored to our unique needs and preferences. > > We are immensely grateful for Kelly and her transformative impact on our living space. Her professionalism, expertise, and genuine passion for her craft have left an indelible mark, turning our house into a home we are proud to call our own. For anyone seeking a design expert who goes above and beyond, we wholeheartedly recommend Kelly Hendricks. **★★★★★ — Judi Stanek, Dec. 2022** > All I can say about Kelly is she is amazing!! We bought a 4,500 sq ft concrete home in Ramona that was unfinished by the previous owner and in rough shape, BUT we got it at a great price and had great plans for what we wanted to do with it. She helped me confirm my design elements and guide me through building a master bathroom with a wet room, a large open concept kitchen with limited design options, three guest bathrooms, beverage bar and butler pantry. She was so helpful - I wouldn’t have been able to do it without her. She kept me focused and staying on theme with my modern farmhouse. > > Not only does she know design but also understands the construction elements for installation. Once we were stuck on how to solve a particular issue and she came up with a brilliant idea that was easy, inexpensive, and the contractor was impressed. I love that she can talk with me (the client) and communicate with the contractor in ways we each understand. She made sure I got what I wanted. **Comment from UNIQ Kitchen and Bath Designs:** > Judi, > > You're amazing, thank you so much for the awesome review!! I appreciate all your efforts, thank you! > > I had so much fun working with you and miss you already. Can't wait to work with you again. =) > > Warmest regards, > > Kelly **★★★★★ — Carol Haines, Nov. 2022** > Kelly designed a whole house remodel for us and we now have a home more beautiful than either of us ever imagined. We could not have completed this extensive job without Kelly. We worked together for well over a year, and Kelly's expertise and experience were invaluable to us. Her attention to every little detail shows in each stunning room. She is a pleasure to work with and helped us get through this extensive job efficiently and timely. If you are thinking of remodeling, we highly recommend Kelly. Hiring her made all the difference for us. **Comment from UNIQ Kitchen and Bath Designs:** > Carol, > You just made me cry, happy tears of course. =) Thank you so much for your wonderful review!! I appreciate the time and effort you put into it! Pictures are fabulous. > > You and your husband were a complete pleasure to work with! Thank you for being such great clients! I hope to see you both soon. > > Warmest regards, > > Kelly **★★★★★ — Carol Zaleta, Jan. 2021** > I can’t even begin to express how fortunate we were to find Kelly. From her very first visit to our home 7 months ago she impressed both my husband and I. Even though we met with a couple of other designers, there was no contest whom we would choose to help us with our kitchen design. We are now at the end of the project and have lost none of that enthusiasm. She’s creative, detailed, friendly, supportive, and most definitely in her client’s corner when an issue arises. > > As part of the process, she created 3 different ideas for the layout. Once we chose, she drew and re-drew while refining the details with us. She made our ideas work, pointing out problems, while making suggestions that were feasible. At no point did we ever feel like she’d taken over. Once the plan was laid out in detail we were able to shop it out, with her making suggestions of who she trusted. When there were things to shop for (tiles, drawer pulls, etc.) she came with us. She was there for every step of construction, too, making certain the job was done to our specifications, and done correctly. All of the different contractors made mention of the fact that when they had Kelly’s drawings they knew they could count on them to be accurate. (That’s quite a compliment in a male dominated field!) > > As she was leaving for the last time today, all I could think was what project can we do with her next? **Comment from UNIQ Kitchen and Bath Designs:** > Awe..... Carol, you just made me cry!! Happy tears of course. =) > > You are so sweet!!! It truly has been a pleasure getting to know you and your hubby! > Tears still rolling down my face. =,) Thank you for all your flexibility, easy going ways and quick decision making, I have enjoyed my time working with you both and will miss you very much!! > > Thank you for such a glowing review, it means so much to me!!!! > > Hugs my dear friend!! Until we meet again! > > Kelly **★★★★★ — Chris & Yolanda Swalwell, July 2020** > We hired Kelly to help us design our dream kitchen. She was great to work with and helped us each step along the way. Honestly, she came up with ideas and plans that we would never have thought of on our own. She is very knowledgeable and meticulous about every aspect of the work to be done. Her suggestions were always spot on. The project ended up not only being a completely new kitchen, but we updated/upgraded many other aspects of our house. We would highly recommend her. **Comment from UNIQ Kitchen and Bath Designs:** > Thank you so much Chris and Yoly! Your kitchen was a fun project and I really enjoyed working with you both and getting to know you. Take care and enjoy your new kitchen!! **★★★★★ — HU-668774513, April 2020** > Kelly Hendricks is a wonderful designer. She remodeled my whole kitchen and I am completely thrilled with it. She listened to my ideas and offered some very helpful input, ideas and advice. She knows her stuff and has a very good working rapport with the contractors she recommended, all of with only one exception, went above and beyond what was expected. We did find someone to replace the original cabinet installer, with whom we were not happy with. She immediately found us a new cabinet installer with whom was a better fit for us. We were much happier with our second choice. It all worked out and happened for a reason, I’d say! > Kelly is particular , thorough and has an exceptional eye for detail. All traits one is looking for in a designer. She is patient and listens. Again, essential n a good designer. She kept my costs down, too! > I’ve heard of the scare stories resulting from a kitchen remodel but Kelly had us mentally prepared and all in all it wasn’t an unpleasant journey at all. I’m very pleased with my new kitchen. The expected inconveniences of not having a kitchen for about 8 weeks was well worth the wait! > Thank you Kelly!! **Comment from UNIQ Kitchen and Bath Designs:** > Hi Mac, > Thank you for the wonderful review! > It was such a pleasure working with you and your husband! I hope to see the finished kitchen once this quarantine has been lifted. Take care of yourself and your family! **★★★★★ — Sandra Papendorf, Feb. 2020** > Kelly is amazing, I have worked with her for over 12 years and love how dedicated and creative she is. Her Kitchen and Bath designs are beautiful and functional. One of the best in the industry! **Comment from UNIQ Kitchen and Bath Designs:** > Thank you Sandra, I so enjoy working with you at PIRCH! ## Selected projects - [Encinitas 3-toned Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/encinitas-3-toned-kitchen-pj-vj~7698282) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [A Breath of Fresh Air](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-breath-of-fresh-air-pj-vj~7086942) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 14 - Description: A kitchen remodel designed in modern style with a flair of rich warm walnut. - [The Modern Master Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-modern-master-bathroom-pj-vj~6717061) - Location: Poway, CA - Photos: 8 - Description: Master bathroom with an open floor plan concept, utilizing horizontal lines as a key element. - [Transitional/Farmhouse Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-farmhouse-kitchen-pj-vj~5672263) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 7 - Description: Mixing farmhouse elements with transitional elements makes this the perfect style for these happy homeowners.

Great fireplace ideas! Love the white waves. Any chance you remember who makes the tile? Manufacturer of tile shop? Thanks! A: Hi Christina, I believe it was from Porcelanosa. It's been about 6 years since I did that project so it's hard to remember. **Q: Love the barn door. Where did you purchase?** *(in Photo Questions)* Was this custom made or from a store? A: Thank you! https://rustica.com/rustica-reclaimed-barn-door/ **Q: Who makes that window?** *(in Photo Questions)* I am looking to put a similar pass-through in my renovation. Who makes this window? A: I found this company here in San Diego after days of searching for a frameless glass sliding panel system. They do beautiful work. https://coverglassusa.com/ **Q: Where did she find the window?** *(in Photo Questions)* This is such a great idea! A: I actually found the window. I searched far and wide. Since the opening is rather small, 3 1/2" wide framed around glass panes would have obstruct the view into the backyard way to much. We needed a frameless glass window that could pass Title 24 and open up the kitchen to the back patio. I found the perfect company, based here in San Diego. Cover Glass **Q: what is the cabinet color** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi, Could you please tell me the color of these cabinets? A: Hello, the cabinet color is Sherwin Williams 7074 Software. It looks more on the blue side in the picture. **Q: Lower cabinet color** *(in Photo Questions)* Would love to know the lower cabinet color A: Sherwin Williams 2849 Westchester Gray --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
