I can't say enough positive things about our experience with all aspects of the process - from Angela as the designer to Steve and his installation team. Everything about the job exceeded our expectations. The design is so functional – it’s now a pleasure to cook in my kitchen and it is far and away the most beautiful, favorite room in our home. From the kitchen to the dog wash to the laundry room, it is all like it’s straight out of a magazine. We truly went from the ugliest kitchen in America to the most beautiful! We couldn't have had a better result. See the transformation below! **★★★★★ — Seek Interior Design, Sept. 2017** > If you want an out standing kitchen design, get in touch with Angela. She breathes kitchens. > Her layouts are exceptional and she is always thinking outside the box and is excited for each and every project! **★★★★★ — Dragonfly Designs, Sept. 2017** > Angela has helped bring my visions to reality on several projects. She is experienced, a good listener and up on current design options. She knows her products inside out, and brings a solid expertise to not only the functional layouts of spaces, but to the design of each individual piece and its components. She excels at high, original design and produces nothing less than spectacular spaces. I look forward to working with her many projects to come! **★★★★★ — David Simon, Nov. 2016** > Angela is truly outstanding all around. Her designs are brilliant, she is enjoyable to work with, and she has gone the extra mile for us many times. **★★★★★ — Nancy Pate Laird, Interior Design LTD, July 2015** > I have worked with Angela on several kitchen and master bath projects over the years. She is a consummate professional who listens to the client and helps them create their own unique environment. Her vast technical knowledge in kitchen and bath design is only surpassed by her amazing creativity! **★★★★★ — Grothouse Wood Countertops, Nov. 2014** > Wm Ohs is known worldwide for its uncompromising quality and original design styles. Whether your tastes are traditional or contemporary, Wm Ohs can provide your home with the most luxurious custom cabinetry made in America. Wm Ohs builds kitchens, baths, closets, entertainment centers and other rooms in today’s finest homes. Grothouse has been awarded the opportunity to work with Wm Ohs for multiple projects and looks forward to many more. > > Denise Grothouse > The Grothouse Lumber Company > http://www.glumber.com/ **★★★★★ — denverlar, July 2014** > Angela was able to reconfigure the floor plan just slightly to “unpack” our rather smallish Denver Bungalow kitchen. By doing so we were able to create an expansive area into our dining room, and create a dramatic framing to our solid cherry cabinetry. Simple suggestions lead to a highly functional, and integrated architectural space. We love it, and it far exceeded our expectations! **★★★★★ — jek913, Nov. 2013** > Angela Otten understood the look that I wanted in our remodel. We completely gutted a 1970's home in Colorado Springs, turning it from a frumpy traditional to a contemporary that respected the architecture of the original home. Angela was integral to the design of the kitchen, master bath, guest bath and powder room. The terrific aspect of working with Angela is her depth of knowledge about cabinetry and frankness about what will work and what won't. She also has good relationships with the WmOhs cabinet makers and is able to make client dreams come true. **★★★★★ — Kari Vondra, Feb. 2013** > I had been working on doing a kitchen remodel for about 7 years and could not find anyone that I felt could "do the job" until I meet Angela. She came up with ideas and plans for my kitchen that I could not have ever dreamed of. She is professional, knowledgeable, and just plain good at what she does. I am EXTREMELY GRATEFUL to have had Angela do my remodel. We did this long distance and she has been amazing!! THANK YOU FOR A BEAUTIFUL GOURMET KITCHEN!!!! **★★★★★ — Business\_Name\_Placeholder, Jan. 2013** > Angela is creative, and a pleasure to work with. She listens first and then expresses her ideas- which are usually right on the spot. > She is the ultimate professional. **★★★★★ — danabusch, Jan. 2013** > Where do I begin! Angela Otten is a talented designer who possesses a rich depth of knowledge that guides her excellent suggestions, design process, and in depth understanding of the importance of designing a kitchen that is functional as well as aesthetically beautiful. > > In addition to her immense professional skill set and design savvy, Angela is 100% customer oriented. Her goal is to use her expertise to bring her client's vision, not her own to life. She is excellent and providing an array of options that meet her client's aesthetic wishes and budgetary range. Something I found very genuine and refreshing. > > She thoughtfully guided me and asked many relevant questions I would not have thought of, especially in terms of making a kitchen functional. Additionally, Angela understands construction and is able to work with builders and architects by providing them with the necessary drawings and documents. This includes understanding the behind the walls requirements of making everything fit and function. > > Her engaging personality, design expertise, excellent customer service and professionalism set her apart in all the right and important ways. > > I cannot wait to share my photos of her excellent work...stay tuned. **★★★★★ — mayacamas, Oct. 2012** > As veterans of a previous kitchen remodel, and interviewers of multiple kitchen designers, Angela is the most talented designer we have ever worked with, bar none. > > My husband and I are in the process of gutting, remodeling, and adding an addition to our 1939 house. Angela has worked with us over the past 14 months, patiently listening to our ideas as well as concerns. Her final design is our fantasy kitchen. It was as if she distilled all of our thoughts and the things we didn't know we wanted and needed into a cohesive design that really represents who we are as people. > > We look forward to having our pictures posted on Houzz when our kitchen is done, in fact we will proudly display her work! If you are looking for a kitchen designer-- contact Angela. If you are considering Angela as your designer, don't hesitate. In fact, run to lock her into your project. She is exceptional. Her talent, insights, warmth, and humor will make it an unforgettable experience. > > We consider it a privilege to be working with her, and we are already talking to her about our next project! ## Selected projects - [Cherry Hills Farm](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cherry-hills-farm-pj-vj~2034070) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Cherry Creek North ULTRA Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cherry-creek-north-ultra-modern-pj-vj~1278114) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Textural Mountain Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/textural-mountain-contemporary-pj-vj~1101788) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Cherry Hills](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cherry-hills-pj-vj~907105) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Clean and Classic](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/clean-and-classic-pj-vj~1589432) - Location: Denver, CO - Photos: 5 - [Springs Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/springs-contemporary-pj-vj~514350) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Aspen, Colorado - Kitchen of the Year](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/aspen-colorado-kitchen-of-the-year-pj-vj~75986) - Location: Aspen, CO - Photos: 7 - Description: Warm, modern mountain kitchen designed for multiple cooks.
