She is very detailed oriented and those details that she brought to my attention, made all the difference in the world to our design. I would definitely use again and highly recommend. **★★★★★ — L Salgado, Sept. 2025** > Denise didn't an amazing job on our kitchen! She met all the requirements to make our kitchen the most beautiful room of the house. She got everything done and we just sat back and watched the process. She helped us to pick everything out and it came together perfectly and without any issues. We even made the cover of our local magazine! Thank you Denise and staff **Comment from J2 Design Studio:** > Thank you for your kind words! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you! **★★★★★ — User, Jan. 2017** > We worked together with Washington Valley Cabinet Shop to create some custom metal pieces to fit their needs. They work with a high level of professionalism that makes collaborations easy and effective. They are a pleasure to work with, and we would recommend them to anyone! **★★★★★ — Kristen S, May 2016** > We highly recommend Washington Valley Cabinet Shop. They recently renovated our kitchen top to bottom and installed new flooring in our front hallway. Jim's design is beautiful and functional and made much better use of our space than the previous layout. The cabinets are great quality, and Jim and his crew did impeccable work. They were polite and clean and left our home livable at the end of the day -- important when you are without a kitchen for several weeks. We shopped around a bit, and his pricing, design and materials were superior to others we saw. We'll be back -- probably for a bathroom renovation in a few years. **★★★★★ — 10ellie12, April 2016** > We would highly recommend Washington Valley Cabinet Shop. Jim and his team are excellent to work with. They offer quality cabinetry and workmanship. Throughout the process, Jim and his team made what could be a stressful situation into one that was stress-free. His team was courteous, respectful of my home, and performed quality work. From the consultation, to proposal phase, demolition, rebuild to final work being completed, we were completely satisfied. **★★★★★ — josiekops, March 2016** > Washington Valley Cabinet's design and installation work on this project were excellent as were the materials they supplied. Their price quote was competitive and included all the costs for completing the project even if they were not defined at the time of the original quote. Absolutely no "nickel and diming" involved. The pictures cannot adequately show the high level of detail of Washington Valley Cabinet carpentry. Also, they were very flexible working around our schedule. Jim and his carpenters were very courteous, considerate and professional throughout the process. We recommend them to others and expect to utilize their services again ourselves. > Our project was the "Flush-mounted Dining Room Breakfront with Pantry" Photos are posted on the Washington Valley Cabinet Shop (Pro) page. **★★★★★ — mws8487, March 2016** > I have had WVCS remodel my kitchen from a cookie cutter 1990's builder's kitchen to a beautiful custom designed one. > The suggestions and design ideas were so helpful, which helped make my decisions much easier. It can certainly be overwhelming, but with their help the project was fun. > Craftsmanship was top notch and professional. And timely!!!! > I was so pleased with this company that I have since had them remodel 3 baths, my laundry room and library. > Highly recommend WVCS. ## Selected projects - [Spaces Built to Entertain](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spaces-built-to-entertain-pj-vj~7249337) - Location: Warren, NJ - Photos: 5 - Description: Hosting events for an already large and growing family was challenging within the constraints of a dated kitchen with a jutting counter peninsula. Prep areas were crowded, seating a large group was cumbersome and sound transmission was an issue as some guests engaged in animated conversations, others strained to hear one another. During our first meeting, both client and designer agreed that leveling up the sunken living room to match the adjacent dining room was a great idea to eliminate a pote… - [New Construction Custom Details to Customize an Oceanfront Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-construction-custom-details-to-customize-an-oceanfront-retreat-pj-vj~7249327) - Location: Lavallette, NJ - Photos: 7 - Description: The family jumped at an opportunity to purchase an oceanfront property as construction neared completion, allowing them to make a few key selections to personalize their new home. For their master bath, the wife had requested a separate whirlpool bath and shower as well as a seated vanity space in addition to their double vanities. The husband required that we maintain the large shower and wished to view the ocean while bathing. Both husband and wife were willing to concede some of their request… - [Classic Architecture with a Mid-Century Modern Aesthetic](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-architecture-with-a-mid-century-modern-aesthetic-pj-vj~7249304) - Location: Maplewood, NJ - Photos: 9 - Description: A family relocating from a New York City suburb discovered an ideal home to raise their son in an idyllic commuter town.

From an interior perspective, the kitchen needed updating and lacked storage. The small hall closet did not provide enough space to serve the entire first floor and the… - [An 80's Addition is Rebuilt in Period Farmhouse Style](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/an-80-s-addition-is-rebuilt-in-period-farmhouse-style-pj-vj~7249320) - Location: Pequannock Township, NJ - Photos: 12 - Description: A couple relocating from California found their ideal home in a 1700’s farmhouse on a sprawling 10 acre property. The stone main house included the kitchen, living room, master bedroom, office space and a full bath while an addition built in the 1980’s awkwardly stood connected to the home. An architect was hired to design a new structure to replace the old addition with a space housing modern amenities and a new master suite while seamlessly continuing the stone farmhouse facade. Both the homeo… - [Space in a Master Bedroom Affords a New Private Bath and Walk-in](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/space-in-a-master-bedroom-affords-a-new-private-bath-and-walk-in-pj-vj~7249316) - Location: Gladstone, NJ - Photos: 4 - Description: A retired couple wanted to update a 2nd floor full bath and explore the opportunity to create a private master suite. Their bedroom was spacious but located at the end of a long hallway and just down the hall was a narrow full bath with a tub shower. They hoped they could somehow transform these spaces into their own private retreat. As we studied the space we discovered an opportunity to combine separate closet areas into one large, shared walk-in. This allowed for the expansion and transformat… - [A Free Flowing Kitchen for a Busy Young Family](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-free-flowing-kitchen-for-a-busy-young-family-pj-vj~7249310) - Location: Bridgewater, NJ - Photos: 4 - Description: When this young family moved into their new home they knew they would have to solve their kitchen problems as soon as possible. A tight bottleneck existed at the back corner where the basement stair was perpendicular to their back porch door and directly across from their kitchen peninsula counter. Only one person could pass through this area at a time and if one door was being used the other passage was cut off completely. Our design solution focused on circulation and creating a perception of… - [Prepared an Empty Nest for Sale, Then Covid Came](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/prepared-an-empty-nest-for-sale-then-covid-came-pj-vj~7249306) - Location: Bridgewater, NJ - Photos: 4 - Description: A single dad found himself alone in a 4 bedroom 5 bath home as his children all left for college.

At first we were retained for some advice on the master bath, the homeowner had some construction abilities and intended to do most of the improvements himse… - [Revitalization of a 100 Year Old Parlor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/revitalization-of-a-100-year-old-parlor-pj-vj~7249355) - Location: Montclair, NJ - Photos: 2 - Description: With adult children moved away, this couple looked to make some improvements to their spaces. They enjoyed relaxing in their front parlor but wished to gain use of their rear enclosed porch, currently inaccessible due to the placement of their modular sofa. Their entertainment center was located on the only wall capable of accommodating it but they desired a better solution and wanted to minimize the impact to their plaster and lath walls. Upstairs, they wished to improve their bedroom which was… - [A Unique Kitchen for "Rowdy" Family Fun](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-unique-kitchen-for-rowdy-family-fun-pj-vj~7249296) - Location: Bridgewater, NJ - Photos: 4 - Description: With the holidays looming, we were asked to perform a miracle, gut all kitchen finishes and fixtures from the kitchen of an early 80’s premier development property and bring the kitchen up to today’s standard. Tile flooring and dated soffits were removed. Appliances, cabinetry, lighting and plumbing fixtures were replaced, all within 2 months from the first moment pen sketched on paper, to the last bit of grout applied on Thanksgiving morning. - [Modern Living Among Victorian History](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-living-among-victorian-history-pj-vj~7249379) - Location: Weehawken, NJ - Photos: 5 - Description: Rehabilitating and revitalizing a Victorian home in severe disrepair to allow its new owners to move their young family from a crowded and cramped New York City apartment to a sprawling urban home filled with potential and weary charm. It is a good idea to think of your PC as an office. It stores files, programs, pictures. This can be compared to an actual office’s files, machines and decorations. The operating system is the boss. With this image in mind, think of an office you’ve visited that w… - [Reinventing the Salt Box](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/reinventing-the-salt-box-pj-vj~7249408) - Location: Bernardsville, NJ - Photos: 5 - Description: This delightful couple wished to create a welcoming, more spacious kitchen while emphasizing the beauty of the rear gardens and their colorful collections. They also desired to relocate the laundry and improve upon the limited storage that is inherent in older homes. They avoided cooking with the frustrating layout and tiny prep sized sink that restricted their movements and the overall functionality of the kitchen. Custom cabinetry provided architectural detail, beauty and functionality and a c… - [Unique, Urban Flat That Can Host The Holidays](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/unique-urban-flat-that-can-host-the-holidays-pj-vj~7249282) - Location: Easton, PA - Photos: 3 - Description: Empty nesters made the move to a highrise apartment in Easton, PA overlooking the beautiful and unique convergence of the Lehigh and Delaware Rivers. With their adult children beginning their own families both near and far, their day to day lives required little space. That said, they have an extensive network of both family and friends and enjoy hosting events in their home. Their kitchen was dated and constricting but they were unable to expand it without impacting their ability to host their… - [1st Floor Addition and Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/1st-floor-addition-and-renovation-pj-vj~7249409) - Location: Long Hill, NJ - Photos: 4 - Description: Remodeled a dated and cramped kitchen, refreshed a tired bath, created a formal dining area as well as a family entertainment space to replace an unused and deteriorating screened porch.

Th… - [Modernize a Dated Kitchen and Transform a Cramped Laundry Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modernize-a-dated-kitchen-and-transform-a-cramped-laundry-room-pj-vj~7249275) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - Description: A typical U-shaped kitchen with adjacent laundry and garage access was confined by traditional closets and doorways. Movement was restricted in an extremely active and high traffic area. Storage could not be eliminated and more space was necessary to improve functionality and circulation. A challenge became apparent when a jog / depth change was discovered in the shared wall that separated the kitchen from the powder and living rooms. This reduced the overall width of the kitchen near the foyer… - [Relocating a Growing Staffing Franchise](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/relocating-a-growing-staffing-franchise-pj-vj~7249391) - Location: North Brunswick Township, NJ - Photos: 2 - Description: The president of Staffing Alternatives contacted J2 to navigate the process of relocating his corporate headquarters from a two story residential structure converted for commercial use, to a more corporate setting.

The client envisioned a lighter, more spacious aesthetic with improved storage and guest seating. A new more functional and fresh kitchen was achieved by removing ceiling soffits to allow for taller wall cabinetry. The island was shifted and extended to capture more storage and seating, as well as storage features were added like corner lazy-susans flanking the range, tray storage and a tall pantry adjacent to the refrigerator… - [The Happy Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-happy-farmhouse-pj-vj~7249382) - Location: Bernards, NJ - Photos: 1 - Description: The challenge of an 1800’s farmhouse is how to honor the past while introducing today’s modern functions. Family gatherings were limited to their kitchen whether on a small day-to-day scale or for large holiday events. There was a severe lack of storage and movement as all appliances were clustered together and eating in the kitchen closed the main circulation pathway preventing anyone from passing through the space once seated. This solution was about combining functions and identifying the exa… - [Bernardsville Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bernardsville-renovation-pj-vj~1551560) - Location: Bernardsville, NJ - Photos: 5 - [Montgomery Master Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/montgomery-master-bath-pj-vj~1551592) - Location: Belle Mead, NJ - Photos: 7 [See all 31 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/kitchen-and-bath-designers/j2-design-studio-pfvwus-pf~2013852183) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
