We are very happy with the professionalism, creativity and beautiful kitchen and bathroom designs they come up with for our clients. Maureen Madigan, our Kitchen Intuitions designer, is great to work with and has a lot of experience designing kitchen and bathrooms. Maureen listens to our clients needs and incorporates them into the design. When Maureen helps us with the design for a kitchen or bathroom, the finished product is always more than we could imagine. **★★★★★ — Rosalinda Rubio-Williams, June 2016** > Working with Kitchen Intuitions was a great experience! On a whim, I walked into Kitchen Intuitions, and was lucky enough to have been greeted by designer Kim Platt. Her professionalism, combined with her eye for design and knowledge of current trends and available materials transformed our kitchen into a space I truly love! **★★★★★ — wcnunn, Nov. 2013** > Kim designed a beautiful kitchen for me that is very functional for my family of 5. The kitchen cabinets are excellent quality with the slow close drawers. She provided me with guidance on what appliances and sinks would fit best in the space. And when I discovered that the contertop I loved wasn't going to be available for 8 weeks, she helped me find a wonderful alternative. **★★★★★ — brykirk00, Nov. 2013** > We contracted with Kitchen Intuitions to tear down to the studs a 50 year-old kitchen to which various previous owners had done DIY jobs, some of which were, when the walls were gone, very dangerous and had serious structural implications. > > KI was fantastic in every way, starting with reliability and dedication of the crew, and going on to creativity in dealing with the confines of the given space, as well as taking corrective action needed as the faults of the previous DIY jobs were exposed, removing 5 layers of flooring and 2 ceilings which no one knew were there. KI maximized the amount of cabinet storage space and made the space convenient to work and circulate in, meshing perfectly with the adjoining spaces in the house. ## Selected projects - [White & Peppercorn Kitchen - Summit, NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/white-and-peppercorn-kitchen-summit-nj-pj-vj~6598359) - Location: Summit, NJ - Photos: 11 - [White, Frost and Brass Classic Kitchen - Madison, NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/white-frost-and-brass-classic-kitchen-madison-nj-pj-vj~5754058) - Location: Madison, NJ - Photos: 12 - Description: This kitchen is the perfect mix of transitional and classic style.
