CrafteD Kitchen Design was developed when Principal Designer and Owner, Melissa Helvey, CKBD (Certified Kitchen and Bath Designer), realized there was a need for her craft. She sought to revolutionize the custom building and remodeling process to provide a superior client experience. Homeowners didn’t know where to start, who to hire, or have had a less than desirable experience with their project. They need a professional who can guide and assist with material selections, visualizing the design, and create the instruction manual for their project to be built. After a decade of experience and extensive in-depth knowledge of the industry, she is an expert in her craft.  

At CrafteD Kitchen Design, we strive to provide a luxury experience for homeowners and builders that need an interior designer that specializes in kitchen, baths, or custom homes. We take the pressure off our clients and collaborate to create masterfully CrafteD kitchen and bathroom designs. Our goal is to eliminate all the guesswork, elevate your experience, and make our shared vision come to life. We work with clients all over the Inland Northwest, from Spokane to Coeur d’Alene and everywhere in between. 

Our Design Philosophy: “It’s all about the client. We’re here as a guide to help you navigate the vast world of material and design choices. It’s our job to have the knowledge and expertise of how products are made, installed, and priced so we can educate and assist you to make the best decisions for your customized project. Plus, we make it all look beautiful!”

**★★★★★ — Heath Justesen, April 2020**

> We could not be happier with the amazing transformation of our home!  We hired Melissa to completely change our kitchen and master bathroom/closet area, which turned into even more than that as we got more of her vision and ideas.  After meeting a few times Melissa came up with samples for the finished product and it was as if she was in our minds!  We were amazed and have been beyond happy living in this new space.  We went from having no storage to empty cabinets having such ample storage and for someone that despises clutter that’s a great thing!  Thank you Melissa you hit a homerun on this project we are ecstatic.

**Comment from Crafted Kitchen Design:**

> Thank you so much for the wonderfully kind words! It was such a pleasure working with you and bringing our shared vision to life!

**★★★★★ — MacKenzie Hawley, Nov. 2016**

> I would highly recommend Crafted Kitchen Design! Melissa Helvey was very easy to work with and she had great connections with contractor . She was professional and timely. We LOVE our kitchen!

**★★★★★ — Marcia Sands, Nov. 2016**

> Melissa has done the CAD for our kitchen remodel and has worked with us a number of times to refine and test different ideas. Her knowledge of design and competency using the 3D programs was amazing. We absolutely love the modeling that she has done for us. We will be making our own cabinetry and this modeling has provided us with the dimensions and ideas we needed to complete this project. I am sure that the remainder of the process with go much smoother now that we have had the opportunity to see renderings of the final design and Melissa's technical expertise have helped us to avoid some major pitfalls.

**★★★★★ — Cecilia Lauder, Nov. 2016**

> We were incredibly happy during the design process and end result, particularly since this required minimal time commitment on our part.  The design and contract team were able to figure out our design esthetic and keep it within budget (no small feat).  We were able to splurge on some high impact design features, while cutting back on others without sacrificing quality.  Without hesitation, we would work with her again.

**★★★★★ — Tammy Erickson, Nov. 2016**

> Melissa was wonderful to work with.  She listened to my likes and dislikes, helped to narrow down selections so it wasn't so overwhelming, provided input and advice related to various products, and helped to work with me and my contractor so we were all on the same page. As I'm not a very visual person, she created a shared page in Houzz and would save pictures she thought I might like. I could then browse through the pictures and add comments to each one so she knew what I liked and disliked.  I could even save other photos she could see.  Once we agreed upon a design/look, Melissa would create a drawing for my specific project, which helped me to visualize what it would look like when it was complete.  I would highly recommend her for any project.

**★★★★★ — jutrasak, March 2016**

> We interviewed several kitchen designers in the Spokane area.  Immediately upon meeting Melissa we felt like she listened to our ideas and understood our requirements.  She is very professional while remaining easy going and fun to work with.  Not only does she have great design ideas, she understands the products and installation process and ensures every detail is addressed in the design.  Don't spend too much time trying to find a designer, visit Melissa and let her work her magic!

**★★★★★ — sarahsew, Feb. 2016**

> Melissa Helvey worked with Arrow contracting on our Bathroom remodel project. We couldn't be happier with her creative design!
> Our space was a challenge due to shape and windows, but she came up with three options for us, all of which met our needs, but one of which we loved.
> I was surprised at how easy the process was choosing materials and colors. I have spent months on previous projects just narrowing down choices, and her guidance was invaluable. She also came up with unique ideas to add style and elegance to the project.
> We now have a beautiful bathroom that meets accessibility issues, that has an elegant style with outstanding functionality.

**★★★★★ — Arrow Contracting Service, Inc., Feb. 2016**

> We use Melissa for all of our interior design services.  She is an incredibly talented designer who is remarkable at walking a client through the entire design and selection process in order to help them achieve their vision.
>
> We strive to provide our clients with a streamlined and stress-free process and Melissa can be highly credited with helping us deliver on that promise.
>
> We are excited for the launch of Crafted Kitchen Design and our continued collaborative efforts.

  - Description: The client’s purchased this unique multi-level home with the intent of creating a more functional master suite. The original master bath/closet had a small double vanity, shower surrounds with dated brass sliding doors & mirrored sliding closet doors. The square footage of the space was generous but poorly used.

- [Rockwood Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rockwood-renovation-pj-vj~6112348)
  - Location: Spokane, WA
  - Photos: 28
  - Description: This beautiful home on Rockwood Blvd had a kitchen that didn’t match the aesthetic of the home. The previous owners had put a little lipstick on it; (new wall tile & quartz countertops) but they didn’t address the issues of an unfunctional kitchen. Tight clearances between the range and the peninsula, a hodge-podge of flooring, odd placement of a cleaning closet, and an inaccessible pantry. To the rescue we come! We bumped out the exterior wall by 4 feet and incorporated the hallway into the kit…
- [Serene Spa Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/serene-spa-bath-pj-vj~6112286)
  - Location: Coeur d'Alene, ID
  - Photos: 12
  - Description: This beautiful brick South Hill home’s master bath was lack-luster & sub-quality leaving the homeowner feeling stressed out and unappreciated. She requested a spa-like bathroom which was elegant, yet simple. Maintaining her counter space and storage was a priority, but the homeowner also desired a larger shower to include dual shower heads and a built-in bench. Although freestanding tubs are in vogue, she appreciated an under-mount soaking tub with room on both sides to place books, candles & a…
- [Everyday Elegance](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/everyday-elegance-pj-vj~6112311)
  - Location: Spokane, WA
  - Photos: 16
  - Description: The client’s dated kitchen was no longer meeting their evolving needs. They desired an open floor plan that maximized the vaulted ceilings in the existing living room and generous natural light. The original kitchen boasted limited sight lines between rooms while the dark cherry cabinets mounted to an overhead soffit further heightened the homeowner's desire for spaciousness. Extending the kitchen footprint into the breakfast nook, widening the opening into the dining room, and creating a new pa…
- [Calm Cool and Collected](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/calm-cool-and-collected-pj-vj~6112323)
  - Location: Coeur d'Alene, ID
  - Photos: 12
  - Description: The client desired a serene, spa like bathroom but their current master bath was less than ideal. Its functional purpose was overshadowed with dark, dated finishes that left the client dreading any time spent within the weary space. Removing all internal walls and redesigning the layout was our first goal. Replacing the beige carpet that extended from the master bedroom throughout the master bathroom allowed our Designer to begin with a completely clean foundation. The oversized, tub deck was re…
- [Rockwood Revival](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rockwood-revival-pj-vj~6112390)
  - Location: Spokane, WA
  - Photos: 14
  - Description: Reviving this traditional 1950s home, while honoring the initial craftsmanship and incorporating modern conveniences was a rewarding challenge. The homeowners wanted a larger, more open kitchen that included better circulation to and from the garage, the laundry room, and the backyard. Removing a wall, widening several passageways, and including cohesive flooring throughout increased the square footage and improved the movement through each space. Reorienting the island and increasing its limite…
- [Working With Kids](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/working-with-kids-pj-vj~6112135)
  - Location: Spokane, WA
  - Photos: 16
  - Description: This young, active family was quickly outgrowing their dated 1967 kitchen. With limited counter space, poor sightlines, and inadequate storage this budget conscience project needed a family-focused design to meet all their needs. Removing the U-Shaped cabinet configuration and reclaiming square footage from the unused breakfast nook, allowed this once cramped kitchen to become spacious and kid-friendly. The new open floor plan provided much-needed storage and additional seating by centering a la…
- [Farmhouse Fusion](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/farmhouse-fusion-pj-vj~6112267)
  - Location: Spokane, WA
  - Photos: 16
  - Description: This busy family was quickly outgrowing their dated kitchen. The client wanted functional seating within the kitchen for their children to accomplish everything from homework to casual dining. Additional seating was needed for more formal family dinners, along with plenty of storage for their various cooking needs. The less than functional kitchen was further reduced by the mix of soffits sizes, vaulted ceilings, and odd ceiling nooks. We reconfigured the space by eliminating the wall between th…

- [Deide Kitchen Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/deide-kitchen-renovation-pj-vj~1951808)
  - Location: Spokane, WA
  - Photos: 21
  - Description: This client purchased this recently updated home but the kitchen just didn't fit their style. We were able to mask and lacquer the existing cabinets as well as updating the space with quartz counters, glass tile back-splash, new dishwasher, refrigerator, sink, faucet, and pendant lighting. We also reconfigured the cabinets to remove the appliance garages and replaced the plate storage with a custom matching wine rack as well as updating the railing to give it a more modern feel.
- [Lauder Master Suite & Kid's Bathroom Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lauder-master-suite-and-kid-s-bathroom-remodel-pj-vj~1951954)
  - Location: Spokane, WA
  - Photos: 22
  - Description: Our client's master bathroom was cramped, dark, and short on counter space. Our designer creatively took some space from the master bedroom to not only enlarge the bathroom but to create a spa-like retreat. At the same time, our client wanted to update finishes in their daughter's bathroom adjacent to theirs. This project included new cabinets, quartz counters, linear shower drain with tiled drain cover, all new fixtures, heavy glass shower door, tile flooring, and refinished hardwoods.
- [Glennrose Master Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glennrose-master-bathroom-pj-vj~1546312)
  - Location: Spokane, WA
  - Photos: 17
  - Description: A past client came to us to help make their master bathroom more functional for now and into the future. We removed the jetted tub and enlarged the shower and the water closet/changing area to accommodate possible future wheelchair access. This remodel included all new tile flooring and curb-less shower enclosure with a linear drain, quartz counters, all new fixtures, custom cabinet, touch-less flush water closet, and a heavy glass shower door with barn-door hardware.

  - Location: Mead, WA
  - Photos: 15
  - Description: This is another project our designer referred us on. Our client was looking to update the kitchen in keeping with the feel of their 1898 farmhouse so this renovation included refinishing the existing cabinets and hardware and a new apron-front sink and faucet. To keep it a little more modern we added new stainless appliances and hood vent along with quartz counters and glass subway tile back-splash.
