Most recently she transformed our fireplace wall and laundry room. While Debra is knowledgeable on current trends, she listens carefully to our preferences to ensure our happiness. No detail is too small when it came to our overall satisfaction. Debra is professional and easy to work with. She is very respectful with your budget regardless of the size of your project. I'm already looking forward to working with her again for our next remodeling project! **Comment from Design Line Works, LLC:** > Thanks so much Alicia! I had so much fun working on your project. Cant wait to tear it up again someplace!! **★★★★★ — Kim Scott, June 2017** > Debra and her team did an amazing job on our Kitchen Remodel! She not only designed the cabinet layout but acted as our Project Manager. We couldn't have done it with out her! She helped advise us through the whole project and was there whenever there was a question. The communication between Debra and her team at Shields Contracting was spot on. She is creative, attentive to details, professional and FUN to work with! I highly recommend Debra! We love our new Kitchen!! **Comment from Design Line Works, LLC:** > Thanks so much for your feedback Kim! Your project was so fun to work on and I truly enjoyed your openess to some creativtity in your new kitchen and laundry room! I cannot wait to photograph and post some pictures! **★★★★★ — Connie Namey, May 2017** > Debra updated my kitchen and did an amazing job! I decided to enlist her help after seeing the beautiful job she did on a friend's kitchen and bath. Using a professional was the best decision we made. Her knowledge and expertise made such a difference! The kitchen was just completed and we are so happy with the results. **★★★★★ — Craig Smith, May 2017** > We are a few weeks after the completion of our kitchen remodel. As you can see from the pictures, it was a complete gut and rebuild. > > We could not be happier with our kitchen...and we could not have done it without Deb and her crew. Deb was instrumental in coming up with creative solutions to problems and was also very helpful in coming up with ways we could save money in order for us to get all the things we wanted from our new kitchen. > > We definitely would use Design Line Works again, and highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — Casa Vilora Interiors, Sept. 2016** > Debra is a amazingly talented designer and her work is beautiful and timeless. I have gotten to know her over the past year as a design colleague, and I am always very inspired by the level of integrity and professionalism she brings to her each of her projects. She cares a lot about her clients, and her talent and expertise are evident in every project she touches. She is a very giving and selfless person, and she never hesitates to provide mentorship and guidance to younger designers. I am honored to know Debra **Comment from Design Line Works, LLC:** > Wow, thanks for your kind words Veronica. You know I feel the same about your company and your incredible work!! **★★★★★ — Jennifer Scully Designs, Sept. 2016** > Debra is amazing.

As a fellow designer, I admire her attention to detail, sense of finishes & color, and passion for design. I highly recommend Debra to those in her area of the country. You will not be disappointed! > > Genay Bell > Interior Designer/Allied ASID > Seattle, WA **★ — mjmayhurin245, Sept. 2016** > I had bad experience with Debra. My project was a disaster. She was very unprofessional and dismissive. I texted her about crown molding she never acknowledged the text. The bar part of my counter was not installed not until 2 weeks later I was told it was not included in the price. Some of the measurement was inaccurate I had to improvise. **Comment from Design Line Works, LLC:** > Marie, > I am sorry you are disappointed with your beautiful new kitchen. As our contract stated you did not wish to hire me for project management, only design and purchase of your cabinets and tops. > As you are aware this tiny project has stretched out for well over a year now. Many of the problems you have encountered were due to the lack of a project manager and poor communication to both myself and others on the jobsite. > The countertops were incorrect due to miscommunication from the fabricator which was corrected as soon as possible, (10 days) and I made certain there was no additional charge to correct the issue. Since the house was not ready for occupancy at the time, It did not cause any inconvenience at all, please be honest. > I have on several occasions, referred professionals to help you and made site visits to correct issues at no additional charge. There comes a time however as a business owner I need to bring an end to a project when the client does not want to pay for additional services. As I explained to you, the crown moldings you received are typical crown moldings which look good on all cabinet styles and were within your budget. > I sincerely hope you enjoy your new home! **★★★★★ — Til Bagby, Aug. 2016** > I wanted a beautiful kitchen within my budget. I ended up with a showroom quality kitchen that was within my budget and far more beautiful than I imagined it could be. All is due to the expertise and knowledge of Debra James and Design Line Works. There are so many details involved in any project and Debra guided me through all of them to my dream kitchen. The 5- Star review is well deserved. **★★★★★ — cazenave, March 2016** > Debra James did an incredible job designing and implementing three bathrooms for me. > All three (includes a master bath) look wonderful just as depicted on the design drawings. > Debra was very nice to deal with and her recommendation for the contractor worked out great as well. > I would certainly recommend Debra to anyone who wants to remodel their bath or kitchen. > She was also very helpful recommending other services to me that proved to be perfect for the work I needed to have done. > Kudos to Debra! She's wonderful! **★★★★★ — Don Scarborough, Nov. 2015** > Kudos to Debra James and her construction specialists. Our Master Bath total redesign exceeded ALL of our expectations. Without her considerable expertise, I shudder to think of the consequences. > > Fortunately, she was there every step of the way. As a result, our Master Bath looks more like what you would find in a luxury spa. It even has a gorgeous chandelier. Thanks, Debra! **Comment from Design Line Works, LLC:** > Thanks so much for the nice review! Cant wait to start the master bath! I have BIG ideas! **★★★★ — Deborah Courtney, Aug. 2015** > I hired Debra to create the specifications for a kitchen remodel so that I could shop for cabinets. The job was limited to the specifications only. She was professional and answered my emails and phone calls within 24 hours. I found her to be very knowledgeable about kitchen design. She also has vendors for cabinets and granite that she can recommend. As with any project, I would suggest verifying the dimensions on the specifications to ensure the design is what you expect. **Comment from Design Line Works, LLC:** > Thanks for your review Deborah! I would love to see a picture of the final outcome. As for the measurements, I believe we agreed they were spot on. My decision to use smaller cabinetry was based solely on the scale of the space. While there was certainly space available for some larger pieces it is my professional opinion that slightly smaller sizes better fit the space considering the era of the home and the space in its entirety. You will have a lovely "new home' either way I am certain. ## Selected projects - [Scott Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/scott-residence-pj-vj~2841677) - Location: Ponte Vedra Beach, FL - Photos: 8 - [Jacksonville Kitchen Refresh](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jacksonville-kitchen-refresh-pj-vj~2588839) - Location: Jacksonville, FL - Photos: 5 - [Ponte Vedra Beach Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ponte-vedra-beach-residence-pj-vj~2854466) - Location: Ponte Vedra Beach, FL - Photos: 7 - [Smith Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/smith-residence-pj-vj~2644638) - Location: Fernandina Beach, FL - Photos: 4 - [Bagby Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bagby-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~1996228) - Location: Jacksonville, FL - Photos: 3 - [Kiernan Small Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kiernan-small-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~1323388) - Location: Jacksonville, FL - Photos: 5 - [Kipen Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kipen-kitchen-pj-vj~822742) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: New Construction in Northern Michigan - [East Hampton Bath Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/east-hampton-bath-remodel-pj-vj~2329201) - Location: Jacksonville, FL - Photos: 4 - [Amelia Island Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/amelia-island-remodel-pj-vj~1669968) - Location: Fernandina Beach, FL - Photos: 9 - Description: Complete remodel of 3 baths foyer and a kitchen update. - [Hidden Hills Refresh](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hidden-hills-refresh-pj-vj~1667625) - Location: Jacksonville, FL - Photos: 5 - [Cabinet Additions](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cabinet-additions-pj-vj~724958) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: These images are all additions that have been added too existing spaces! - [Ponte Vedra Beach Sawgrass Country Club Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ponte-vedra-beach-sawgrass-country-club-remodel-pj-vj~5717329) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 [See all 12 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/kitchen-and-bath-designers/design-line-works-llc-pfvwus-pf~1326199044) ## Ideabooks - [Norma](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/106201232/list/norma) — 1 idea - [Jodee](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/104553362/list/jodee) — 1 idea - [Sharon Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/98085238/list/sharon-lighting) — 1 idea - [white](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/88361922/list/white) — 14 ideas - [Sheri](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/47222555/list/sheri) — 10 ideas - [George and Nancy](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/78773719/list/george-and-nancy) — 15 ideas - [Contemporary Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/39340893/list/contemporary-kitchen) — 26 ideas - [Alicia H](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/81935830/list/alicia-h) — 7 ideas - [Lighting!](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/35444655/list/lighting) — 11 ideas - [scott residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/80236611/list/scott-residence) — 1 idea - [Amelia](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/57844587/list/amelia) — 1 idea - [Kalil Residence](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/55984040/list/kalil-residence) — 22 ideas - [outdoor](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/31769940/list/outdoor) — 5 ideas - [Kevin](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/28551132/list/kevin) — 22 ideas [See all 14 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/designlineworks) ## Community Q&A **Q: Large kitchen Island or kitchen table?** *(in Design Dilemma)* I am building a new home on the coast of SC. My kitchen will open out to a Large U shaped porch overlooking the marsh. My problem is that my kitchen designer and my architect have both proposed a large island for the kitchen. I keep suggesting a nice old farmhouse kitchen table instead but they both keep going back to the island with stools. I will have a large dining room close by and even though it's not super formal I feel like on a daily basis , my husband and I would rather not eat in the dining room. SO, island in the middle of my kitchen OR farmhouse table ?? HELP PLEASE !! A: From what I can see of the space you could have both. I would do a smaller island for workspace and still have plenty of space for a table. an island the size of the one you have now is very large and will most likely require a seam in the granite or quartz. That said, islands that wide can be very difficult to clean as well, it can be difficult to reach the center! You want to be sure the island is not so large that it has to be fabricated in two pieces! **Q: Help for TV wall / electric fireplace?** *(in Design Dilemma)* Debating on what to do below the tv. Was considering an electric fireplace. Can't do gas fireplace because its an interior wall, on the other side of the wall is a bedroom. Considering this fireplace: http://www.electricfireplacesdirect.com/products-accessories/electric-fireplace-mantel-packages/Dimplex-Fieldstone-Rustic-Electric-Fireplace-Mantel-Package  What are your thoughts on what would look best? If we did this fireplace? Would some custom shelves/cupboards look good on each side of the tv to "frame" in the tv? Not a ton of space, there is 74 or 76 inches of drywall shown in the picture, from door to door. Thanks in advance for any info ! A: I will see if I can find some images for you, I know I have drawings at least some place! Be careful of trying to do too much in this small small space. Given your mom likes country maybe a small "mantle" and cover the wall in a wood look tile of some sort. This is a very small space for stone and may look too heavy. I would probably use a light color of wood tile to create a surround, possible tile the entire wall ceiling to floor. **Q: Kitchen remodel ideas needed** *(in Design Dilemma)* Obviously needing to replace lighting w canned what about black appliances A: Is this going to be an update or a total gut? I can see a lot that should be changed but need to know if you are planning a refresh or a remodel. **Q: Which backsplash?** *(in Design Dilemma)* This granite is difficult. This is for a powder room. The one on the left is light which I'm told bathrooms look better lighter. The peach color matches with the granite. It is called Wheatfield from Arizona Tile. Would you use a field tile and just use this as a border. It seems light enough to just use this. I want to tile from underneath the window to the bottom of the floor on the one wall. Any suggestions? The walls are a diamond plaster pink, the color near the top. The white is just repair. The other sample is more dramatic, with black and the slate stone that blends with the floor. Would you use that with a field tile? Your help is greatly appreciated. A: I would stick with 1 wall color in a room that small. Accent walls look dated and changing color in a room as small as a powder room tends to accentuate its small size. Remember less is more! **Q: Help me find these cabinet pulls** *(in Design Dilemma)* I just spent 45 minutes scrolling through cabinet pulls and I still don't think I can find pulls that look even close to these handles. Any ideas? A: I would check Amerock or Jeffery Alexander for something similar. **Q: should side garge door match front door?** *(in Design Dilemma)* I have picked out this neutral darker brown for my front door and replaced the urns. My question Should the side man door into the garage be the same color as the color of the cladding around its frame or the same color as the front door (above)? A: You may want to have the front door color mixed 25% lighter for the side door! It will be the same hue only not as much saturation. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
