**★★★★★ — Deb Dumke, July 2026**

> My Husband and I had Absolute Interiors do our kitchen, and it turned out AMAZING!!! Gloria is so sweet, and was always available when we had any questions and always had the best ideas. I highly recommended them. They were absolutely awesome from start to finish.

**★★★★★ — Sue Harding, July 2016**

> Gloria and her staff were AMAZING to work with, they were knowledgeable and flexible at ever turn. I'd recommend them to anyone doing a rehab or remodel, no matter how big or small.

**Comment from Absolute Interiors:**

> Thank you Sue! It has been a pleasure working with you on your remodeling projects.

**★★★★★ — tbremser, March 2015**

> My husband & I have worked with Gloria for our home improvement needs since 2008.  We started out with painting rooms and furniture design.  We recently completed an entire kitchen remodel, bathroom and are now working on a master bath/bedroom remodel.  Gloria is a true expert in her field.  She designs the entire room and has great suggestions.  She has helped us make these beautiful changes in our home very easy.  Gloria gets to know your particular style, listens to your ideas and then creates various possibilities for your new room design.  She is very detailed oriented and also has great people she recommends to complete the work.  We met with her at various stores and locations where she helped us pick out exactly what we were looking for.  Gloria is always willing to help with challenging situations that arise whether it be a difficult contractor or an unexpected problem with materials.  Gloria is a joy to work with and is not only a great designer but has become a good friend.

**★★★★★ — gavin1averi, March 2015**

> Gloria was wonderful.  She was extremely efficient, very realistic, listened well, and produced beautiful results.  I highly recommend her, most specifically for your kitchen remodel.

**★★★★★ — novara1934, Feb. 2015**

> I hired Absolute Interiors when I purchased my current home.  It was in need of some updating and Gloria was extremely helpful and professional.
> She helped me pick out great carpet and Adura flooring and wonderful granite countertops.   She had many suggestions and helpful information for me.  I would highly recommend her and this company.

**★★★★ — ruthelmer, Feb. 2015**

> I came to Absolute Anteriors in response to an open house ad, which included a drawing for a $500 gift certificate. I won!!  Upon closer inspection I realized that this was with a $2500 minumum. When I pointed this out, Gloria assure me that she would "work with me." She really did. As it turned out, I only purchased a backsplash from Absolute Interiors. She gave me a $250 discount, and then the 2nd $250 can be used  for another job or a friend of mine! This is more than generous. She honored the original gift, even though I wasn't even close to the original requirements. I was jumping between stores for each component of my kitchen. Gloria and her staff were always very helpful and non judgemental. No pressure! My final choice was an original suggestion from her. She is a good business person and now I am recommending her store to others around town.

**★★★★★ — candiboley, Feb. 2015**

> Gloria from Absolute Interiors is very Professional!  She has wonderful ideas & her knowledge on how to make those ideas work into your project is huge!  Gloria has excellent style & is on top of the newest products & home interiors available to you today.  Everything from start to finish was very well done.  I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of my new kitchen!

**★★★★★ — wendymalbert, Jan. 2015**

> Gloria is amazing. She has a soft quiet professional manner about her that is welcoming and comforting.  She has a strong knowledge base and fantastic ideas. She quickly understands your vision for your project and leads you in the right direction.  She is supportive and available before, during, and after your project. Absolute Interiors has computer programs that show you what your project will look like from multiple directions and dimensions. We used these programs when renovating our kitchen. They are a fair, honest company that shows you pricing and costs up front. They go the extra mile to meet your satisfaction and make your happiness their priority. I will definitely request and recommend Gloria for future projects

**★★★★★ — mraearnett, Nov. 2014**

> Gloria was so easy to work with.  She was organized and professional and we absolutely love the work she did in our kitchen. She made the process painless for us!  We would recommend her to anyone and will use her services again.  Thanks for everything Gloria!

## Community Q&A

**Q: Backsplash** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the brand and color of backsplash?

A: 3x6 Emperador Light Marble Tumbled

**Q: anyone use vinyl flooring that looks like wood?** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Due to our budget, we are going with vinyl flooring (Congoleum or Mannington).  I was going to go with the tile look but after checking it out, I kinda like the wood.  Does it look alright or is it obvious it is vinyl?

A: Check out Mannimgton Adura wood plank LVT.  The cost is more than vinyl but is very durable and looks great too.

**Q: Any design flaws? Wasted space? Kitchen needs help.** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Going for rustic appearance. Front entry porch will have open truss lodge style. Bonus room above garage. Study possibly used as 3rd bedroom. Lots of natural light in living and dining with french doors and corner fireplace.

A: I would design one large island with sink, prep area, beverage center, and raised bar for seating for 4-6 people. Add double oven cabinet left of cooktop/vent hood. 
I agree with sstar, master bath is very crowded.

**Q: Kitchen Floor Ideas?** *(in Design Dilemma)*

we are looking to replace the flooring and maybe the countertops, but not the cabinets.   the cabinets are in great shape.  any idea is appreciated.

A: Floor: large tiles with slate look and lots of variation in color. 
Counter top: black granite or quartz
Remove the valance above window. 
Replace hardware with stainless modern design.

**Q: Need help with design & planning tile layout for my small bathroom** *(in Design Dilemma)*

I've finally chosen the tile for my bathroom remodel and now I realize I have a design conundrum. The wall tiles for the outer (non-shower) walls are a 6 x18 porcelain glazed matte tile which I'd like to install vertically. I have a decorative band which is 4" high and a bullnose cap (probably another 4"). So here's my question: if a normal height for the wall would be 48", but I've only covered just over 44" so far, with 2 courses of the wall tile placed vertically plus the bullnose &amp; decorative, how would you handle the difference? Go 3" shorter? Or add a 3" tile at the base to reach standard height?  Cut some of the wall tiles to make  a 3 or 4" band of the wall tile at the bottom? I don't know, but that seems like it would look wrong unless the tiles were all offset, and I hadn't planned on that pattern.
Help!

A: Go with a 6" high decorative border instead of 4". You will be closer to your target 48" high tile without compromising clean lines of your 2 large vertical stacked tiles.
