From a process perspective, the Snaidero team is fantastic - super pleasant, high attention to detail, and a hands-on approach that provides comfort and confidence in small and large decisions from start to finish. The products and quality speak for themselves and definitely are worth a visit to the Alexandria showroom. After our Snaidero renovation, our family of five moves through and uses our renovated kitchen with such greater ease. > > Shawna is an amazing designer and partner in the renovation process. Her design background was particularly helpful to us as we worked to fit a more streamlined Snaidero kitchen into a more traditional house. She always was out in front of the process, advising on next steps and offering thoughtful advice on the selections that would fit our tastes and lifestyle. She is a great listener. During installation, she frequently came on site to ensure our contractors were following every plan detail. I could not have anticipated how much I would appreciate her Snaidero specific recommendations for drawer versus cabinet designs and a multitude of organization drawer inserts! She had the vision for how our new kitchen would fit in the flow of our home and be used by us on a daily basis before we did! **★★★★★ — Jeffrey Davenport, Sept. 2019** > Shawna and her team at Studio Snaidero did an incredible job from the beginning of design all the way through the construction and installation. Every detail was accounted for and if there was an issue, she dealt with immediately. The Snaidero cabinets she recommended are a work of art and amazing quality. As an architect and the designer/owner of the home, I know what a difficult client we can be, but Shawna and the team at Studio Snaidero made it a memorable experience. **★★★★★ — Wendy M, Sept. 2019** > We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Shawna Dillon and Snaidero DC. Not only is she an exceptional designer, she is a pleasure to work with and a true professional. We had a pretty extensive project, including removing load-bearing walls and reconfiguring the space, and Shawna came up with the absolutely perfect design. She asked us all the right questions about how we wanted to use the kitchen, lifestyle, etc., and then designed a Snaidero kitchen that exceeded our expectations. We love it and everyone who comes to our home comments on how beautiful the kitchen is. Thank you, thank you Shawna! **★★★★★ — Gary Jankowski Real Estate, Oct. 2018** > I visited the Snaidero showroom in Alexandria, VA to see a La Cornue stove. Little did I know I would end up purchasing not only the stove but an entire kitchen! Shawna was attentive, creative and pleasant and we love our Snaidero kitchen! **★★★★★ — Nancy Phillips, Jan. 2018** > We LOVE the local Studio Snaidero, Alexandria VA. > Spectacular finished product, very knowledgable and professional staff who > offered many sound suggestions. We would use them again on another project. **★★★★★ — Azali Kassum Design, May 2017** > Collaborating with Studio Snaidero DC Metro and Shawna Dillon was a designer's dream. Snaidero's incredible range of luxury Italian cabinetry and Shawna's exceptional knowledge of kitchen design helped simplify the design process to create a contemporary yet timeless kitchen for our historic home remodel. I went into my first meeting with Shawna with a very specific design plan and never looked back - I knew I had the found the best! Not only did she help bring my vision to life, she was able to guide decisions which kept us within budget without compromising on quality. In the end we created kitchen which I love with all of its signature and custom touches which work perfectly for my family. I would recommend the Studio Snaidero DC Metro team and their professional, collaborative and enthusiastic approach to design time and time again to friends and clients alike with 100% confidence that they will deliver. **★★★★★ — pcoulam, April 2017** > We absolutely love Snaidero and Shawna Dillon-the Alexandria, Virginia owner of Snaidero. The cabinets are amazing. They exceeded our expectation. Shawna Dillon is a gifted designer, and by far the most professional, talented, organized and thoughtful person we have ever worked with. Everything was seamless from beginning to end. I love design and wanted to be involved in every decision. Shawna not only respected my opinions but was able to guide me in choosing what was my vision. Our kitchen cabinets are spectacular. It is so much fun living and cooking in our new home. **★★★★★ — Heidi Keller, Feb. 2017** > As part of a whole house renovation, Snaidero designed our kitchen, a powder room and master bath vanities. Our designer, Shawna, was wonderful to work with. She had great taste, helped us understand what was possible, was extremely organized and always hit deadlines. She understood building logistics as well as aesthetics, was detail oriented and was there for installation to make sure everything went as planned. She could navigate varying budget end product was gorgeous and functional. We've lived in it for 6 months now and are thrilled with every detail. We have almost twice the storage space yet it looks airy and spacious with very clean lines. Shawna also gave us ideas that helped integrate the look of the whole house. We could recommend Snaidero to anyone enthusiastically. **★★★★★ — User, Jan. 2017** > We chose Snaidero because we had such a great experience with their kitchen and bathroom cabinetry in our former condo. We wanted functionality, quality craftmanship, and a clean aesthetic when it came to designing our kitchen. Without question, Snaidero was our first and only choice. Cooking is so much more of a joyful experience now that we have this beautiful kitchen. **★★★★★ — Cara Medeiros Interiors, Oct. 2016** > Shawna Dillon is wonderful! I did my mid century modern kitchen with her last year. Her attention to detail is unparalleled and she has a wonderful eye for modern but practical design. I would definitely hire her for another project! **★★★★★ — Monica Janczewski, Aug. 2016** > "When we had to deal with flood damage in our kitchen I was dreading having to renovate again. I loved the Snaidero kitchen we'd put in over 20 years ago, and wasn't crazy about changing. We eventually decided on a complementary update instead of a complete kitchen redo. Shawna Dillon, Principal/Designer from Snaidero DC Metro, helped me every step of the way, not only in cabinet selection but also on floor tile, counter, sink and faucet selection, patiently rebuilding the kitchen to a look of sleek lines, colors and textures I adore!" ## Selected projects - [Modern Simplicity](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-simplicity-pj-vj~7840073) - Location: Centreville, VA - Photos: 7 - [Family Kitchen Reimagined](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/family-kitchen-reimagined-pj-vj~7701574) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 26 - [Georgetown Jewel Box](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/georgetown-jewel-box-pj-vj~7700965) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 18 - [A Dramatic Kitchen Transformation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-dramatic-kitchen-transformation-pj-vj~7699279) - Location: Arlington, VA - Photos: 31 - [Ultra Sleek Kitchen on the Hill](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ultra-sleek-kitchen-on-the-hill-pj-vj~7699264) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 19 - [Serenity in VA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/serenity-in-va-pj-vj~7637648) - Location: Alexandria, VA - Photos: 20 - Description: Just off the Potomac river, nestled in the quaint, green landscape of Old Town, Alexandria sits a calming example of how the natural elements of our environment can serve as a welcome backdrop to our interior living spaces. - [Understated Elegance in Georgetown](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/understated-elegance-in-georgetown-pj-vj~7701531) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 18 - [Georgetown Tranquility](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/georgetown-tranquility-pj-vj~6834990) - Location: Washington, DC - Photos: 7 - Description: WAY Pickled White Oak Matrix CODE Lead Grey Resin Matrix - [Contemporary Living in McLean](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-living-in-mclean-pj-vj~7637620) - Location: McLean, VA - Photos: 8 - Description: The charming town of McLean, known for its notable houses and residents, is home to this beautiful craftsman featuring Snaidero cabinetry.
