> Michele is AMAZING!  If there was more than 5 stars, I'd give it to her.  Her eye for detail is impeccable, she thinks outside of the box, and is so unique.  She has transformed my house into a place that is beyond what I knew was possible.  On a personal level, she's a great human being that wants the best for each client.  Her work ethic is unmatched as I see her put so much thought and care into each detail...and is really shows.  I can't and won't do anything without her.

**Comment from Swanx Fine Cabinetry and Interiors:**

> Thank you so much Vicki!  It was a pleasure working with you!!

**★★★★★ — lucinda45sue, March 2014**

> I contacted MIchele to find out the manufacterer of the "super Susan" she used in cabinetry she installed as part of my kitchen renovation a few years ago.
> She was professional, courteous, and friendly.  She offered to email me the website for me to get information on the super Susan, even though I have moved out of state and she would not be getting my business on my current cabinet building.

**★★★★★ — unbreakable, Feb. 2014**

> We were lucky to find Michelle with Swanx Fine Cabinetry.  She is very experienced, worked well with our contractor and we had a fabulous outcome.  Our dream kitchen was initially a dream but is now a reality.  We love it!

**Comment from Swanx Fine Cabinetry and Interiors:**

> Thank you so much, Laura, it was a pleasure to work with you!!...

**★★★★★ — dawndelalalmo, Feb. 2014**

> Michele is extremely competent not only in design but in the nuts and bolts of construction.  She worked with us, using the plans drawn up by the architect on the remodel job (this was a complete gutting and remodel of an old kitchen).  She identified potential issues with the architectural plans before any construction even started.  She helped us avoid issues with room flow and used her creativity to disguise air ducts when the ceilings were raised and helped with a unique lighting plan.  She also made sure I considered minute details with how the space would be used and incorporated these into the cabinet plan.  Michele helped me save money whenever possible and kept us motivated with humor, patience and her straight forward approach.

> I would say Michele's primary strength as a designer is her ability to think outside the box.  She has a unique perspective that is rare these days.

**Comment from Swanx Fine Cabinetry and Interiors:**

> Thank you Dawn, it was a wonderful project, and a pleasure to work with you!

**★★★★★ — Glenda Marwick, Feb. 2014**

> I would highly recommend Michele,  She is very creative and a keen eye for detail.  She helped me with my kitchen renovation and offered wonderful ideas.  My kitchen is now the centre of my house it is no longer outdated and drab.  I love it and receive many compliments.  Michele is respectful and a professional.  Thank you Michele - well done !

**Comment from Swanx Fine Cabinetry and Interiors:**

> Thank you so much Glenda, it was a pleasure working with you!

**★★★★★ — Robert Mace, Jan. 2014**

> Working with Michele was a hoot (hoot = fun in Texas). She has a great eye, great suggestions, and worked hard to make our modern project a success. Michele did the cabinets for the kitchen and the bathrooms, cantilevered built-ins for the master bedroom, and cabinetry for the "buds-n-suds" room (laundry on the left, liquor on the right). And our builder raved about the quality work her workmen did.
>
> Highly recommended.

**★★★★★ — Medallion Cabinetry Inc, Nov. 2013**

> As a Manufacturer Sales Representative witrh KitchenCraft Cabinetry and with Elkay Wood Products, I have had the opportunity to work with Michelle and see her numerous projects in Central Texas. As you can see through her pictures she is a gifted designer and project manager who works well with her clients and the end result is a beautiful, functional kitchen designed to exceed her customers expectations. Her installers are top rate who pay close attention to detail. If you reside in Central Texas and want "the dream Kitchen or bath" you need to contact Michelle.

**★★★★★ — annethevenot, July 2013**

> It is my pleasure to highly recommend Michele DeCorby of Swanx Fine Cabinetry and Interiors as a designer and businesswoman of talent, professionalism and experience. She is creative, a good listener, very likeable and clever. I have had the opportunity to work with Michele professionally on several design projects and find her attention to detail and very personal service as excellent as her design and communication skills.
>
> I have known and worked with Michele since 2009. In addition to her design skills, she has been an excellent officer for the Texas Hill Country NKBA, holding important leadership positions as President, VP for Strategic Planning and VP of Technology and Communications. Michele is an asset to the design community in the Austin and San Antonio areas.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Dining Room Reveal!** *(in Before & After)*

Before:

After:

For more details, visit my blog, The {DIY} Domicile, at:
http://www.diydomicile.com

Thanks!

A: Emily, you did an amazing job with that room. It has energy, style, personality...and happy written all over it. Congratulations!:) ps. I took a trip to your blog and had a closer look - great job on the side board too!

**Q: Counter-height or bar-height kitchen seating?** *(in Polls)*

Getting a new kitchen and pondering the pros and cons...

A: If you have a sink in the island, a raised bar can provide a barrier to the mess and things that seem to accumulate around a sink .. soap dispensers, scrubbers and what not.  But ultimately  I prefer a one level island as the kitchen does not have the visual impression of stopping as a raised bar can imply, and it gives you more elbow room as you are moving around the kitchen.  I also enjoy the " spread out factor "a one level island gives you for projects, reading, eating,  along with multiple sides to access a task,  and as stated above, the seats are that bit more comfy and accessible at counter height.

**Q: Something Missing** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Looking for ideas! I feel as though something is missing in my living room space, (although I haven't painted yet, which I think will help when I get to it next month) but I need something to pop. Colour is not something I love (what I do love is serene monochromatic schemes) so adding any overly saturated tones is not an option for me. Maybe it is the navy cushions not working (too much contrast?) Can't quite put my finger on what is lacking/missing for me. Suggestions welcome!

A: It looks very hygienic now but nice, I like the eclectic vibe and warmth  the previous shade on the floor lamp.

**Q: Anyone use thin porcelain large-format slabs on walls?** *(in Kitchens)*

I'm considering using a thin porcelain, large-format slab on the shower walls of my master bath. This is a remodel (complete gut). One website shows the thin tiles/slabs covering entire bathroom: walls, floors, and countertops. 
Does anyone have experience with this new technology? Any issues with installation? durability? aesthetics? matching to other surface materials? installation cost? 
I posted to the Bathroom Forum, but was re-directed to Kitchen forum. I currently have glossy ceramic 2x2" tiles on the shower walls and floor with lots of grout. 
I contacted two vendors, hoping they would send samples, but both directed me to local tile distributors. So far I've seen Artistic Tiles Max Fine line. They have three marble-like colors, but offer custom colors as well. Two sizes: 5x10' (slab) and 30x30" (field), 1/4" thick. Field size was quoted at $38 PSF, not counting installation. Weighs 2.76 lbs PSF. They recommend two-person installation, even for the field size. 
I tried matching the Max Fine colors to conventional porcelain tiles in the tile store - I found the color in Max Fine to be less creamy than a conventional look-alike calacatta porcelain tile. If I used Max Fine on the walls (but not floors), I would most likely need to look for a contrasting color for the floor. 
I contacted Stone Peak regarding their Plane series. I have not visited their distributor yet. They have 15 colors in polished or matte, with largest size 5x10' and several smaller sizes. 
Please advise me on the pros and cons if you've looked into this type of product. Also, would be interested in hearing about other vendors. 
Initially, I was considering Caesarstone slabs on the walls, but was told that the installation would be very pricey, especially due to the weight and the need to prepare the walls so that they are absolutely flat. 
Here's a link that may be useful:
http://www.stonepeakceramics.com/

A: We have used this product, hired a certified installer to prep and install, and have had the sheets crack ( a day after installation -possibly during setting on a vertical application). Cracking happened as the thin set dried.  Fine fissurs can happen from the plant to you, and, there is not warranty for something you cannot see.   Personally, for the time it takes the sheets to arrive, and for the headache passed on to the client, I do not recommend using the 3mm material. We used Laminam Ghisha and I believe do to the raised dot matrix pattern renders the material unstable, and provides weak points. It's beautiful but be prepared for some heart ache. 6mm or 10mm would be my preference.

**Q: Counter bar height** *(in Photo Questions)*

Need a standard measurements for kitchen bar height we doing one & i think is too rall

A: Standard bar height typically is 40.5 - 42" tall, if you have a raised section.  Standard counter height is 36" for a counter or one level island and both are calculated from the floor to the top side of the counter top material.

**Q: Need help with warming up and finishing touches** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Have a condo with great view. Need help with 4' W dividing wall between two large sliding doors. The living room and dining room share this space. Not sure what to do to warm up space. Should we leave wall blank or add artwork?

A: I like ginaginia's Idea, over the sofa, and you could reorientate the current painting vertically between the windows:)
