**★★★★★ — HU-256030181, Jan. 2023**

> Pamela’s experience designing many kitchens enabled our one kitchen to materialize perfectly!  She transformed our wants into an elegant design complete with visuals and dimensional details, and even provided tips for great local suppliers. Very satisfied customers here.

**★★★★★ — Nancy Sarro, Jan. 2023**

> Pam has helped with a few projects to update the look of our home. She helped with paint color selection and furniture selection for our living room, paint color selection for our foyer and how to refresh the stairway, and redesign of a bathroom. She is professional, has an eye for colors and for design, and is great to work with. She is a good listener too, tailoring the project to the needs and preferences of the homeowner. I highly recommend Pam!

**★★★★★ — j54margolycz, Jan. 2023**

> My husband and I hired Pam for our kitchen reno. It was a design challenge due to the age of our house. Built in 1790 and remodeled and added on to it had many difficult issues. Pam consistently was able to bring our ideas to life but also helped us keep the price reasonable by offering other solutions. The kitchen is exactly what we always dreamed and more.

**★★★★★ — HU-671683618, Oct. 2022**

> Pamela offered sound advice to get our kitchen off to a great start. I would recommend her to others

**★★★★★ — Eleni Valverde, March 2020**

> I worked with Pam to renovate our bathroom and when we were about to do our kitchen renovation, I sought her out.  Found her and worked on our kitchen.  I enjoyed working with her so much on the bathroom that I wanted to work with her for the kitchen.  She is very efficient, organized, has a good eye for color, and knows a lot about the construction guidelines.  She points things out that you might miss and advises when she thinks you might need it.  And she helps you to keep costs down!
>
> I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again if we ever need to.  I would strongly recommend her for any renovation project.  Answers questions promptly and puts everything together efficiently.  Thanks, Pam!

**★★★★★ — Grace Durfee, July 2019**

> My husband and I renovate and flip houses and have had great experiences using Pam's kitchen design services on several projects.  She’s the ultimate professional with a rare combination of creative talent, thoroughness, and attention to detail.  Her clear and timely communication make her easy to work with. Her designs are innovative and maximize flow and visual impact.  She factors in ease of movement, building codes, as well as cost savings in her recommendations.  Installations always go so much more smoothly when we use Pam.  We look forward to working with her with all of our future designs.

**★★★★★ — Dorothy Williams Freeman, March 2015**

> I was doing a master bathroom renovation this past summer and needed a new vanity, mirror, and storage cabinets to complete it. I was on a limited budget but wanted it to look more higher end than I could afford. After much searching I found what I was looking for at Lowe's. I bought the vanity, sink, mirror, wall cabinet and storage tower. They have a great selection of everything you need for your bathroom make over. The associates were very friendly and helpful. They pulled all the heavy boxes and loaded on a cart, wheeled it to the cash resister and loaded it in my truck.  My contractor install everything and it all looks far more expensive than what I paid for them.

**★★★★★ — mabmiller, Feb. 2015**

> I met with Pamela to plan a renovation of my kitchen, which had laminate cabinets and older appliances.
> Pamela listened to my concerns and wishes, then showed me a variety of cabinets and countertops.  She utilized the kitchen-design program to demonstrate what the finished project would look like.
> Pamela helped me to select cabinets, finishes, backsplash, and countertops that would achieve the look that I wanted while remaining within my budget. She found a quartz countertop that would complement my current kitchen color and assisted me with selecting the appliances.
> Pamela communicated with me at every phase of the project and kept me informed about the work schedules.  The workmen came to my house on time and as scheduled, performed their work in a professional manner, and cleaned up after themselves.
> I am very pleased with my kitchen remodel and with Pamela and the teams from Lowe's.

**★★★★★ — magal, Feb. 2015**

> Pamela was a tremendous help in our renovation of two bathrooms.  She listened to what we told her about what we wanted and how much we were able to spend.  She paid attention to our style and color preferences, and made excellent suggestions.  Her knowledge of products and materials was extremely helpful in making decisions.  She was accessible, and always made time for us, even coming to our home to look at the bathrooms, and was always so pleasant to work with.  We're very happy with the results, and will work with Pamela on future projects.
