Cathy was so helpful and professional as she guided us through our window treatment options for our newly remodeled house! She was always attentive to our questions and took time to thoroughly and thoughtfully plan each area of our house, we needed window treatments in a majority of the rooms in our house which was a huge undertaking!

I so appreciate they confidence you placed in me and wish you many years of comfort and happiness in your new space! **★★★★★ — Janet Gianino, June 2018** > Cathy was lovely to work with and created the perfect look for our remodeled master bedroom/bath and closets. She is creative and did an exceptional job in transforming our traditional style master bed/bath/closets to a beautiful suite, with a fresh "look of today". She is highly experienced, professional and warm, worked easily with my work schedule. She surprised me with little extras (that I would have a difficult time picking out) which helped to tie together a beautifully, finished look. Highly recommend her!! **Comment from Cathy Dykman Acinger Design:** > Thank you so much Janet, for your kind review and for the opportunity to work with you and your husband on your master suite transformation. It was a complete pleasure! I hope you are enjoying your new surroundings every day and I look forward to seeing you in the future.

I too am looking forward to working with you again! **★★★★★ — sharoncrew80, Dec. 2017** > Cathy is one of the best designers we have ever worked with! > She is working with us on a three phased project for our home. > All we gave her to work with was our vision and a notebook I had with pictures of rooms from magazines that I liked. > From that, she came back with amazing colors for the walls, choices in fabric, rugs, tile, granite, and furniture to choose from. > She brought in a wondeful contractor and worked closely with him throughout the entire first phase. > With the first phase complete, we now find ourselves sitting in our “new” living area loving the warm comfortable atmosphere Cathy helped create for us. > We are looking forward to the next two phases!! > We know they will be just as wonderful!! > Thank You, Cathy!! **Comment from Cathy Dykman Acinger Design:** > Thank you so very much Sharon, not only for the kind review but for the opportunity to work with you and your husband on your home.

Cathy works very closely with her clients to select the perfect tile selections for their homes. She takes great care in selecting materials that are well suited for each application. She is always great to work with and I look forward to working with her for many years to come. **Comment from Cathy Dykman Acinger Design:** > Thank you Katy for the kind words and for always providing excellent customer service for my clients and myself. Here's to many more years of collaboration! **★★★★★ — Cheryl Ernest, Nov. 2017** > We called Cathy midway through our master bath remodel and she was able to discern our tastes and approach to this project. She found the perfect paint for walls, ceilings and woodwork and helped with lighting, including the right size chandelier. She even came to ensure the electrician positioned the chandelier correctly. > Cathy helped us design the drapes with great fabric. Then, Cathy listened to our powder room dilemma and found the perfect wallpaper. Her wallpaper installer and drapery workroom/installer worked well with her and our schedule. We love all the results! **Comment from Cathy Dykman Acinger Design:** > Thank you so very much Cheryl, for allowing me to work with you and your husband on your master bath and powder bath projects. I'm am thrilled that you're so happy with the outcome. I surely am, and know that these spaces will bring a lot of comfort and pleasure over many years. Thank you for your kind review. I look forward to future projects with you and Stu! **★★★★★ — Nancy and David Eleeson, Nov. 2017** > Cathy transformed our dark,drab guest bedrm. in our basement into a bright and cherry room for our guests and family. Together, we chose a plaid in red, blue, and greens for drapes only hung from a dark rod on top of the windows that have blinds in them. The bedspread is a corresponding blue with matching plaid and trim on the pillow covers. An old wicker chair was spray painted and with a new fabric of design and color added to it....transformed it into a new piece of furniture. Cathy had a minimal amount of money to bring to life a boring bedroom....She did it , and our guests and we love it!! **Comment from Cathy Dykman Acinger Design:** > Thank you Nancy and Dave, for the opportunity to work with you on spiffing up your guest bedroom. It all felt so warm and welcoming when we completed the room, with it's Colorado Cabin style! You're a pleasure to work with and I am grateful for your kind review! **★★★★★ — Stacy Clark, Nov. 2017** > Cathy is professional, talented and understands that everyone has their own style. She came into our home and looked around at what we already had before suggesting design options for us. She was able to give us tips on how to use what we had in addition to where to incorporate new ideas. She helped us know where we might get the most bang for our buck on the project. The result is beautiful! **Comment from Cathy Dykman Acinger Design:** > Thank you so very much Stacy for the opportunity to work with you and your husband on your family's wonderful home. I'm so glad that you are enjoying the outcome of our decisions and truly appreciate your positive review. I'm including a photo of the beautiful stone and glass that we selected for your backsplash. It's truly special! Enjoy! **★★★★★ — Debbie Taylor, April 2017** > Cathy has helped me with various projects over more than 12 years.

I love working with you and your family on home design projects as they're always unique, filled with vibrancy, and cutting edge style. Here's to our next collaboration! **★★★★★ — Wendy Clay, Dec. 2016** > Cathy has been the only designer I have worked with since early 2000's. Several years ago she helped me with the update of our Lenexa home but most recently has guided me through 2 extensive remodel projects at our new home - one of which is ongoing. Cathy has helped me choose paint colors, rugs, furniture, draperies, granite, and something as simple as knobs and pulls. She even helped me rearrange my bookshelves to give it a designer touch. Cathy has a great sense of style both personally and professionally. She is knowledgeable of the newest latest and greatest on the market but works with me regarding my more traditional style. Cathy is dependable, has terrific work ethic, is truthful, very kind and always professional. In addition her prices are very reasonable. I could go on and on about how wonderful she is as a person and as a professional. In conclusion, I regard Cathy as a true friend and an awesome designer. I would be lost without her. **Comment from Cathy Dykman Acinger Design:** > Wendy, I'm truly grateful for this kind review, and I am especially thankful for the years we've collaborated on your homes' design and the friendship we've built. Here's to many more years of working together. ## Selected projects - [West Palm Beach](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-palm-beach-pj-vj~6854851) - Location: West Palm Beach, FL - Photos: 44 - Description: Remodel and addition in the historic district of West Palm Beach, Florida - [Home Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-remodel-pj-vj~2411955) - Location: Overland Park, KS - Photos: 26 - Description: Dykman Acinger Design has taken this outdated home complete with wood paneling and in it's place created an open concept, transitional masterpiece. - [Lakewood Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakewood-home-pj-vj~2901418) - Location: Lee's Summit, MO - Photos: 12 - [Oxford Lake Lower Level](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oxford-lake-lower-level-pj-vj~2901413) - Location: Overland Park, KS - Photos: 5 - [Mill Creek Farms, Olathe Kansas](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mill-creek-farms-olathe-kansas-pj-vj~2904452) - Location: Olathe, KS - Photos: 5 - [A Modern Take on Lions Gate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-modern-take-on-lions-gate-pj-vj~2111261) - Location: Overland Park, KS - Photos: 4 - [Leawood Midwestern Rustic](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/leawood-midwestern-rustic-pj-vj~2633025) - Location: Leawood, KS - Photos: 17 - [Chic Lower Level](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chic-lower-level-pj-vj~1759662) - Location: Olathe, KS - Photos: 7 - [A Traditional update on Highland's Creek](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-traditional-update-on-highland-s-creek-pj-vj~3012427) - Location: Leawood, KS - Photos: 10 - Description: On this project, we added a modern update to a lovely traditional space.
