I absolutely love my kitchen and can’t wait to work with them, again on my master bath! **★★★★★ — karen\_palmer1, Aug. 2025** > We highly recommend Saltwater Kitchen and Bath Studio!! We did a whole home renovation and Alicia and Tori lead the way for us. From start to finish they were so helpful and knowledgeable and kept us on track! Their experience is so vast and they have great relationships with the contractors they work with which made everything so seamless and on schedule which is so appreciated! We can't say enough great things about this team!!! **Comment from Saltwater Kitchen & Bath Studio:** > What a transformation! The home suits your beautiful family so much better. We are so grateful that we were able to be a part of the change and we hope the future celebrations are full of family, friends & laughter! **★★★★★ — User, Dec. 2024** > Our kitchen and master bath project was amazing with Alicia and Victoria. From design to execution top notch. Their design of both spaces was logical, beautiful, and perfect scale with tall ceilings. The team communicated very well. The attention to detail was unmatched. This was after trying 2 other local design and cabinet firms. 100% recommend their work and quality. **Comment from Saltwater Kitchen & Bath Studio:** > You were a fantastic client! You have amazing energy and you trusted us to let us do our job. So thank you!!!! **★★★★★ — Susie Slappey, Dec. 2023** > Alicia and Victoria were great to work with. They communicated well throughout the process and came up with a design that was perfect for my space and was executed with ease. They made my decisions easy by providing ideas and solutions that were appealing both to the project and the budget. Their contractors were professional and competent as well. It was overall a great experience and I ended up with a beautiful new kitchen and a butler's panty that exceeded my expectations. **Comment from Saltwater Kitchen & Bath Studio:** > LOVE your selections Susie! Thank you for trusting us and being open to wallpaper! I could live in the pantry :) The kitchen feels twice the size and I know football parties are so much easier and more fun! I can't wait to see the reupholstered couches. What foresight to save them. They are Jacksonville history and still had much more to give! **★★★★★ — Keith MacDonald, Dec. 2023** > We worked with Alicia to redesign our master bathroom and kitchen. When sensing I was overloaded by all the various options, she asked great questions and then presented options so we could collaborate with various visuals to finalize what would work best for us. We couldn't be more pleased! Our old space had some odd "flow" issues that Alicia fully resolved in the new design. We also have much more storage (even for those odd items like my Kitchen Aide mixer). The cabinetry and hardware are beautiful. Highly recommend Alicia and Saltwater. **Comment from Saltwater Kitchen & Bath Studio:** > Thank you so much! Your bathroom is beautiful! Thrilled you did a color. Gives the space so much personality but it's still soothing! I can't wait to see the finished kitchen and I am so glad we were able to create a more functional plan and still save the hardwood floors! **★★★★★ — Robyn Sieron, Nov. 2023** > Alicia from Saltwater Kitchen & Bath assisted me with both a master bath and kitchen remodel. Her professionalism and years of experience were quite evident. She has such a great vision and an eye for spaces. While I made most of the selections myself, she guided me through the process and advised me on the pros and cons of all the options. I told her what style I liked, and she instantly knew what would be appropriate for that. Also, due to her having so many clients, I was actually able to make a visit to see a home with the same countertop selections so that I could see a finished product and that helped solidify my choice. > My projects are complete, and they are literally better than I could have imagined. **Comment from Saltwater Kitchen & Bath Studio:** > Thank you so much Robyn! You have amazing taste and were one of my most organized clients :) I am so glad we were able to help. The bathroom and kitchen are beautiful! **★★★★★ — 117kelley, Nov. 2022** > We met Alicia when we were going to remodel our condo. We ended up moving to a house rather than proceed and Alicia graciously agreed to share her insights on our new space. We love working with Alicia as she takes the time to listen to you and really gets a feel for how you want to live in the space. We had several things in our new home we weren't sure how to overcome. We wanted a large entertainment center in our family room but there was a long narrow window in the middle of the wall. Alicia felt us out about the window and ultimately suggested we build right over the window. At first that made us uncomfortable but we listened and I am so glad we did! The room is completely transformed. A second area that was giving us pause was the kitchen. We had dark cabinets, and an odd little island in the middle of the space serving no real purpose. Alicia convinced us to paint the cabinets as they were in good shape and we weren't changing the layout. She also pitched the idea of pulling the little island out and creating an inlaid rug as we didn't have any more of the floor tile. The new inlaid floor adds interest and a pop of color to the kitchen. We absolutely love our kitchen and the surprise on the floor when your walk in the space. We are so glad we followed Alicia's advice, we truly love our new great room! We highly recommend Alicia. Alicia is easy to work with, a great listener, and a true problem solver with a creative flair. Her objective is to absolutely make sure your dream home becomes a reality. **★★★★★ — Marcy Edmiston, Oct. 2022** > Alicia provided me excellent guidance and navigating all the choices. I had to make in my bathroom and kitchen renovation. Her knowledge and insight helped me pick out beautiful cabinets and countertops! And I am also very grateful that she was able to partner with Can Do maintenance Allan and his crew were a pleasure to work with! **Comment from Saltwater Kitchen & Bath Studio:** > I am so glad we were able to change the function & flow of the kitchen! Your space was what I called a "land locked kitchen" and they are a real challenge to improve because of the location in the center of the house. Thank you for choosing us!! **★★★★★ — Jennyfer Simpson, Jan. 2022** > It was a pleasure to work with Alicia. Alicia was friendly, approachable, reassuring and encouraging. She listened to my “offbeat” requests and was very resourceful and creative in realizing my preferences and vision. Alicia provided sound advice and educated me as to why her recommendations made sense for my home and resale value; she prevented me from going too far astray. Alicia drew up a perfectly splendid design for my kitchen but after demolition was complete, I made changes which Alicia incorporated without complaint. Alicia worked closely with the contractor/building team and was a great liaison. In addition to her beautiful kitchen design, Alicia was enormously helpful in choosing lighting, hardware, tile, countertop material, sink and lots of other miscellaneous details. She prevented me from making huge mistakes in my choice of flooring, while accommodating my desire for an older wood look. Alicia was always available and responded quickly to all questions and concerns; she educated me tirelessly as I was a novice in home remodeling. The final result was far better than I ever could have imagined. I feel extremely fortunate to have been able to work with Alicia and recommend her without qualification. I love my new kitchen! **Comment from Saltwater Kitchen & Bath Studio:** > Okay - so I am BLUSHING! Jennyfer - thank you so much! When it's a first renovation experience combined w/watching HGTV I always spend alot of time explaining different options, materials etc to clients so it's nice to hear it was appreciated! You and Fred are such a great couple & I LOVE that you took a chance on the pendants! They really made the kitchen pop! **★★★★★ — Andrea, Oct. 2021** > We could not be happier with the service and end product provided by Alicia and team. We interviewed several designers prior to starting our major kitchen remodel and Alicia was the only one who really listened, thought "outside of the box", and helped us completely redesign the space to make it more functional and beautiful. > > In the midst of COVID we are hearing about remodel project nightmares-- and this was not one of them. We were given a 5 week timeframe and it was completed in 7 weeks (total gut to studs, changing windows and door locations, moving a kitchen and bathroom). > > There are plenty of things that were out of everyone's control - but for everything that could be controlled--the work was exceptional quality and completed as promised. > > We have already hired them to re-do all of the bathrooms in the house- even knowing that the wait time right now is over a year. I wouldn't trust anyone else with our home. **Comment from Saltwater Kitchen & Bath Studio:** > Thank you so much Andrea!!! You and your family are so amazing and patient! COVID has upended our processes and your project was the first one to have major delays on multiple materials that we had to work through. But we did and the new space is fantastic! My hope as always is that your new kitchen will bring you and your family together and provide a space to make lasting memories! **★★★★★ — Karen, Oct. 2021** > Alicia is amazing to work with! She will want to know the look you’re trying to achieve, and will make all the details come together beautifully. I appreciated her showing me items at different price points so we could invest the majority of our budget in those items that mattered most. Alicia is well connected in the community and knows how to get the best products at competitive prices. She stays with you til the end, making sure everything is delivered and set up correctly. Thank you Alicia! **★★★★★ — Richard brock, Aug. 2021** > Alicia is outstanding! Creative but also practical coming up with a great result! Great to work with, a pleasure and very responsive, i highly recommend her to anyone! ## Selected projects - [Dark Closed Off & Compact to Open & Bright Galley Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dark-closed-off-and-compact-to-open-and-bright-galley-kitchen-pj-vj~7165645) - Location: Jacksonville, FL - Photos: 10 - [Transitional Stunner](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-stunner-pj-vj~6735391) - Location: Jacksonville Beach, FL - Photos: 5 - [Beautiful Primary Bath & Closet](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beautiful-primary-bath-and-closet-pj-vj~6725305) - Location: Ponte Vedra Beach, FL - Photos: 9 - [Retro to Crisp & Clean](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/retro-to-crisp-and-clean-pj-vj~6384635) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Warm & Comfortable Whole Home Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/warm-and-comfortable-whole-home-remodel-pj-vj~6420299) - Location: Fleming Island, FL - Photos: 28 - [Gracious Gray Primary Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gracious-gray-primary-bath-pj-vj~6210815) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - Description: A builder grade bathroom gets a major upgrade. The client was amazing as she did this remodel while having a torn Achilles tendon while she was in a boot before and after surgery all while her husband was out of town for work. This prompted the request for a large, curbless shower with a barn door. We removed the dated unused corner tub to expand the shower and added a bench under the window for additional storage. The vanity got a functional make-over with better storage for toiletries.

A walk-in shower, separate water closet, laundry hampers, linen storage, make-up seat space, double sinks, lots of storage all without feeling cramped. The biggest challenge however was working around the fire sprinkler system located in the bathroom. We were able to come up with a floor plan that accomplished the wish list that didn't interfere with the sprinklers.

The homeowner didn't want the washer and dryer to be the focal point so white cabinets with a Coastal white finish were chosen and run the full "L" of the room. The floor color was repeated in the Lunada Bay glass backsplash in the silk finish which gives the look of sea glass and a dark turquoise gray was chosen for the wall to pull the Cambria Montgomery coun… - [Classic and Compact](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-and-compact-pj-vj~2028136) - Location: Ponte Vedra Beach, FL - Photos: 5 - Description: The kitchen was a long awaited remodel of a retired couple. The original kitchen was dated, lots of wasted space and in an "L" shape. The home is at the beach so they requested an airy, open feeling with an island that a couple of friends could sit and chat while the clients cooked. The appliances were chosen for their compactness, the Silestone countertops for their ease of maintenance, hardwood floors to match the rest of the home and for leg and back comfort and the backsplash for simplicity… [See all 49 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/kitchen-and-bath-designers/saltwater-kitchen-and-bath-studio-pfvwus-pf~1670901874) ## Ideabooks - [Maybank](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/179076499/list/maybank) — 47 ideas - [Darryl & Deb](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/56574670/list/darryl-deb) — 3 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/saltwaterstudio) ## Community Q&A **Q: where is the bedding from?** *(in Photo Questions)* Trying to find ideas A: It was from a local speciality shop that is no longer in business. **Q: Light or a dark grout with dark marine blue subway tile white cabinets** *(in Photo Questions)* Like dark marine 3x12 subway tiles for backsplash against our white cabinets and sandy color engineered hardwood floor. Countertop and island in Cambria Brittanica quartz and wall is in Universal Grey. Not sure to go with a light or dark grout color. Can you shed some light. Thanks. A: White w/hint of gray on the grout. Bright white is too much. Both look great! Dry set the tile and see what feels better to you. Offset can be more traditional and stacked can be more modern. **Q: Love the counter top, what is the name of the quartzite?** *(in Photo Questions)* Is this countertop part of the Crystalo quartzite family? A: The island top is Quartzite. **Q: Do you know where this furniture is available for purchase?** *(in Photo Questions)* The size would be perfect for my daughter’s small room A: Hi. It is not stock furniture. It was built locally in a shop to fit the space. **Q: Cool laundry sorter** *(in Photo Questions)* Was the laundry sorter custom made? A: Hi Sandy - It was custom made but if you are handy it wasn't difficult so you can build to fit your space. The back, sides, bottom & dividers are 3/4" prefinished plywood and the face is pallet wood rough sanded. It has casters on the bottom, the chalk boards came from Michaels and we painted them to coordinate. **Q: base cabinetry** *(in Photo Questions)* what is the color of the island? A: The color is Gray Owl from Medallion Cabinetry --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-03.*
