**★★★★★ — audreymonkeygirl8, Oct. 2013**

> Kelle Brooks was recommended to us from a trusted contractor friend. We hired her to design a total new kitchen, dining, hall and entry way remodel which included raising the ceilings and opening and removing walls to better utilize our space. This all need to be done to match our mid-century modern home. She gave excellent options and professional drawings. We LOVE our new space!

**★★★★★ — Katie B, Oct. 2013**

> Kelle is helping us with an extensive renovation for our mid century modern house.  She found us a mud room and a laundry room, redesigned a previous family room addition so that it better fit with the spirit of the house, designed a new kitchen and is helping with updates to the living room and dining room.

> Kelle has great ideas, is quick to turn things around and is a huge help with choosing finish materials.
>
> We have a few other projects planned for our house and will definitely use Kelle for them!

**★★★★★ — guesthouse, April 2013**

> Kelle designed a 650 squ foot guest house for us and did a beautiful job.  Kelle was easy to work with, professional and met all deadlines and budget projections.  She was able to listen to our needs an incorporate them while at the same time making recommendations and improvements on the design.  She is clearly knowledgeable and skilled at her craft.   We are thrilled with our light airy and beautifully designed guest house. I would highly recommend Kelle!

  - Description: This historic house in central Tucson was updated while maintaining the original footprint. The kitchen had been located at the back of the house with no connection to the primary indoor and outdoor living spaces. We swapped the kitchen with a bedroom located at the front of the house and removed a wall to connect to the dining/ living room and added a door (into an existing window opening) that connects to a new patio and overlooks the front entry. The existing wood floors and plaster adobe wal…

Brand & color, please?
