She listens and is willing to accommodate wants, needs, and dreams. I can’t say enough about our experience. I have told several friends about her design services and expertise. We live in a rural area. Finding her on Houzz was like a miracle. Thank you Cherie! **Comment from CDH Designs LLC:** > Thank you, Josie!! I am so glad you found me! **★★★★★ — HU-925788781, Nov. 2018** > We were thrilled to have a friend recommend Cherie at CDH Designs after putting off our kitchen remodel for too long. We knew after our first meeting that she was going to be fabulous to work with. She listened to what we wanted and did everything she could to make it a reality. I would recommend her to anyone! **★★★★★ — Gini Schager, Nov. 2018** > Cherie was a pleasure to work with, very professional. She designed my kitchen. Got several quotes, and after my decision she ordered everything we needed. She continued work with the contractors and was there for all the installations. Cherie went way above what she had to do. I would highly recommend her for any remodeling job or new construction. **Comment from CDH Designs LLC:** > Thanks, Gini! It's been great working with you and also getting to know you during the process. Your kind words mean a lot! **★★★★★ — Donna Walker, Sept. 2018** > If I could give 10 stars I would! We had an excellent experience with Cherie and recommend her to anyone looking for a designer. Cherie is professional, responsible, attentive and of course talented! I had a long list of items that I wanted incorporated into my kitchen and Cherie was able to give me everything! While we are located a few hours away from each other, it didn't impede the project one bit. Cherie was always available to answer questions and meet at important junctions of the process. Cherie's design and guidance was invaluable! **Comment from CDH Designs LLC:** > Thank you so much, Donna! I loved working with you. I hope you're enjoying that new kitchen and your beautiful home! **★★★★★ — Bruce Herold, March 2018** > Cherie did a fantastic job working with us on our kitchen. She was easy to work very reasonable and flexible. She was able to recommend high quality cabinet makers and work with several contractors to put everything together perfectly. I would definitely recommend her for your design needs! **Comment from CDH Designs LLC:** > Thanks so much for the glowing review, Bruce! I can't wait to see what that beautiful home looks like after you finish making all those updates. **★★★★★ — Diane Bray, Nov. 2017** > Cherie Miller helped me to design a new kitchen. The first time she came to my house she asked me many questions about my likes and dislikes pertaining to colors, type of wood, type of flooring, and the placement of the appliances and the sink and about our budget. Cherie was very open to working with my contractor and me, even shopping with us at the cabinet store. After that she emailed me the design. Cherie then answered many questions I had and was always willing to listen to my concerns. She was able to point out many things that I would not have noticed on my own. Cherie continually updated the design until I was satisfied. > I was extremely pleased with Cherie's design and with how professional and open she was to what I wanted and to what concerns I had. She suggested things and then designed what I ultimately wanted. She was very easy to work with and was easily accessible by phone or email. Cherie kept in contact to make sure we had the project on schedule and within our budget. My husband and I are very pleased with our finished Kitchen! **Comment from CDH Designs LLC:** > Diane, > Thank you for your wonderful comments! I enjoyed working with you so much. Thank you for trusting me to be the one to help you achieve that gorgeous kitchen! **★★★★★ — Laurel Patton, Aug. 2017** > I never worked with a designer before but having known Cherie it was an easy choice to go with her. She came and listened to me. I knew what I wanted but didn't know how to best make it fit to get the most use out of an awkward space. I had 0 above cabinets and about 4-6 sq ft of countertop. She took my dysfunctional space and made it a cooking dream. I loved being able to bounce ideas off someone, as we did all the manual work ourselves. It gave me confidence to go ahead on big decisions. **Comment from CDH Designs LLC:** > Thank you, Laurel! It turned out to be such a great space! **★★★★★ — KXP24, May 2017** > Cherie is a life saver. Starting in early 2016, she patiently walked me through the decision-making process as I started on my project, which included a new kitchen, new flooring in the main floor, and paint. Later she stepped in when I took on some of the GC duties. With her guidance and expertise, I was able to get the kitchen we envisioned with considerable (40%!) savings. **Comment from CDH Designs LLC:** > Thanks again for allowing me to work with you! I hope you enjoy this kitchen for many, many years to come. **★★★★★ — Lori Mitzel, Feb. 2017** > Cherie was such a major help with our kitchen remodel...it was scary enough diving into a full remodel of two rooms, but she was so much help along the way and was there when I need extra contractors, or advice; any time of day. She thought of things that I would never have chosen. Don't rely on websites to pick things to incorporate: talk to a designer! She was there for us each step of the way, and her computer rendering was spot on to what our kitchen looked like. Her knowledge and expertise was endless. She will be a help when I redo the bathrooms! **Comment from CDH Designs LLC:** > Thanks, Lori! This is wonderful advice, and I'm glad you found that working with me saved you so many unnecessary headaches! **★★★★★ — Nichole Falb, Feb. 2017** > Cherie was a must-have as we remodeled an old screened-in porch to the new kitchen we love. She took all my must-haves and made them beautiful! As the mother of a large family, I wanted distinct work areas so that the children could be baking, cleaning up, cooking with me, prepping veggies, etc. without constantly getting in one another's way. Her design knowledge was essential, as design is very much "not my thing". Cherie made remodeling - a project that made me want to run for cover - as pleasant and as stress-free as it could possibly be. > Some of our initial preferences were too expensive, and Cherie helped find alternatives that were more than acceptable. I never felt like she was nudging us to spend more than we could afford. Cherie was available to answer all our questions and address our concerns each step of the way. > I would highly recommend Cherie's services. The work she did for us was worth every penny. I have no doubt that we never would have ended up with a kitchen that meets all our large-family needs without her skills. We all love our new kitchen! **Comment from CDH Designs LLC:** > Thanks, Nichole! It was an absolute joy to work with you and get to know you better through this whole process. I love how everything turned out! **★★★★★ — melissa32206, Oct. 2016** > Cherie is AMAZING! We knew when we bought our home a few years ago that we needed to remodel the bathroom. However, we had no idea exactly what we wanted to do. At our very first meeting I knew that hiring her was the best thing we could have done and that opinion did not waiver throughout the project. She took the time to ask questions and find out what our style was and what we wanted. As a designer, she guided us throughout the entire project down to every little detail. She was readily available to answer questions. I would recommend that anyone who is doing a renovation hire her. **Comment from CDH Designs LLC:** > Thank you so much! You and Doug were both wonderful to work with!! **★★★★★ — tandb\_stahl, Sept. 2016** > She is wonderful! I hired her to draw up floor plans for a house remodeling. She drove an hour and a half to get to my house, measured the whole house, and even had some recommendations that I would not have thought of on the spot! She emailed floor plans to me the next day! She responds quickly to calls and gives multiple design options. I am looking forward to working with her again in the future. ## Selected projects - [Transitional White Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-white-kitchen-pj-vj~2808601) - Location: Huntingdon, PA - Photos: 7 - Description: This was a new construction project in Huntingdon, PA. My client had a lot of ideas and knew what she wanted as far as style and colors throughout the house, from all of the photos she had saved. When it came to the kitchen, she needed some professional help. I created this kitchen layout by changing the location of the entry from the garage and mudroom into the kitchen. Using 3D design, they were able to "see" that this was the best design for their room. - [Design and Build (Lewistown, PA)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/design-and-build-lewistown-pa-pj-vj~778735) - Location: Lewistown, PA - Photos: 20 - Description: After going through the tragedy of losing their home to a fire, Cherie Miller of CDH Designs and her family were having a difficult time finding a home they liked on a large enough lot. They found a builder that would work with their needs and incredibly small budget, even allowing them to do much of the work themselves. Cherie not only designed the entire home from the ground up, but she and her husband also acted as Project Managers. They custom designed everything from the layout of the inter… - [Cream & Cherry Farmhouse Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cream-and-cherry-farmhouse-kitchen-pj-vj~2281777) - Location: State College, PA - Photos: 8 - Description: Before it was purchased by my clients, this farmhouse was not living up to its full potential. We took a "builder basic" kitchen and turned it into the heart of the home. Gorgeous cherry and cream cabinets are tied together by a beautiful slab of granite. Storage features fit for a professional chef make working in this kitchen a breeze! But the attention to detail and craftsmanship by the cabinetmaker and contractor are what really set this home apart. - [Colonial Drive Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/colonial-drive-kitchen-pj-vj~2289895) - Location: Milroy, PA - Photos: 7 - Description: This is a kitchen built for entertaining! The clients originally had a very small kitchen, and the space was divided into several compartments. Two main walls were removed and the laundry room relocated, allowing the room to be opened up into one great space. The aesthetics of the kitchen fit the colonial style home, while being up to date. The cool tones of the cabinetry are offset by the warm wood tones of the walnut floors, which run throughout the main floor. It is a gorgeous room! - [Age-in-Place Master Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/age-in-place-master-bath-pj-vj~1459416) - Location: Lewistown, PA - Photos: 7 - Description: This master bathroom had never been updated since the home was built in 1990. The room had a large drop-in tub which was never used; while the shower (used daily) felt like a cave. The clients' desire for the bathroom was to update the space, make it more accessible to them as they get older, and give them more storage. All of these things were achieved with the new bathroom layout and the addition of some very beautiful finishes. - [Modern Farmhouse Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-farmhouse-bathroom-pj-vj~2069549) - Location: Lewistown, PA - Photos: 14 - Description: The original bathroom was out of date and in need of repairs. The original blue sinks were replaced and the blue bathtub was reglazed white. We removed the existing cabinets and built-in linen closet and replaced them with a much more functional wall of cabinetry. Accents like the wood tile tub surround, mason jar lights, and rustic shelves above the toilet add just the right amount of farmhouse touches to the room. - [Teal Accent Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/teal-accent-kitchen-pj-vj~2808605) - Location: Lewistown, PA - Photos: 3 - [White and Cherry Shaker Style Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/white-and-cherry-shaker-style-kitchen-pj-vj~828061) - Location: Lewistown, PA - Photos: 10 - Description: This kitchen was designed to be stylishly practical. From the functional cabinets and counter space over the heat run to the plank ceiling, no detail was overlooked. - [Transitional Hickory Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-hickory-kitchen-pj-vj~2310951) - Location: Belleville, PA - Photos: 8 - [Hickory Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hickory-kitchen-pj-vj~1730972) - Location: Belleville, PA - Photos: 14 - [White and Gray Shaker Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/white-and-gray-shaker-kitchen-pj-vj~2706998) - Location: Milroy, PA - Photos: 9 - [Harvest Run Road Transitional Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/harvest-run-road-transitional-kitchen-pj-vj~2349748) - Location: State College, PA - Photos: 11 - [Farmhouse Style Gray Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/farmhouse-style-gray-kitchen-pj-vj~1582261) - Location: Lewistown, PA - Photos: 8 - Description: The entire layout of this room was changed. I redesigned it to close off a window, widen the half bath, remove a wall oven, and move the range and fridge to the same wall. The new layout works so much better for the client's needs! - [3D Renderings](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/3d-renderings-pj-vj~1948007) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 22 - [Church Hill Transitional Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/church-hill-transitional-kitchen-pj-vj~2062990) - Location: Reedsville, PA - Photos: 16 - [Gunstock Maple Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gunstock-maple-kitchen-pj-vj~2734304) - Location: Reedsville, PA - Photos: 6 - Description: Typical of many bi-level homes built in the 1970's, this house featured a separate kitchen and dining room... both SMALL. The kitchen was dimly lit, with dark oak cabinets, green countertops, and a dated vinyl floor. The wall between the rooms was removed and doorways to the living room were widened. The soffit above the cabinets was also torn out. This brand new space also features hardwood floors and upgraded lighting. Custom Gunstock maple cabinets fit the client's style while offering plenty… - [Brick Floor Farmhouse Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brick-floor-farmhouse-kitchen-pj-vj~2676214) - Location: Lewistown, PA - Photos: 7 - [Kelly Drive Cherry Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kelly-drive-cherry-kitchen-pj-vj~2499892) - Location: Lewistown, PA - Photos: 7 - [Lewistown Sentinel Home and Garden Show](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lewistown-sentinel-home-and-garden-show-pj-vj~1039965) - Location: Lewistown, PA - Photos: 7 - Description: Home Show displays for 2015 & 2016 - [Transitional Maple Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-maple-bathroom-pj-vj~1300264) - Location: Lewistown, PA - Photos: 7 - Description: This transitional bathroom remodel was completed primarily for two teenage girls who wanted a pop of color, but a bathroom that will stand the test of time. Plenty of storage options were given through cabinetry and a closet in the room. The perfect combination of form and function, this bathroom gets rave reviews by all who visit.
