**★★★★★ — Morgan Poor, June 2025**

> We hired Katelyn for a kitchen remodel in 2021 and we were so pleased with the result that we continued to work with her for what become a whole home remodel. Working with Katelyn was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She has an incredible eye for design and an intuitive sense of how to bring a space to life in a way that feels both elevated and deeply personal. Moreover, Katelyn is professional, communicative, and a true collaborator. She took the time to listen to my (many many many) ideas and helped me translate them into something even better than I imagined, all while keeping the project family friendly (we have little kids to consider), on time and within budget. The end result is home that feels straight out of a magazine. I wake up everyday and can't believe I get to live here.  I’ve received countless compliments on the transformation, and always make sure to point out that it wouldn't have come to life without Katelyn. She has my highest recommendation.

**★★★★★ — Kelly McNeill, Oct. 2021**

> I hired Makehouse for our bathroom remodel. Katelyn was incredible! She was professional and relatable. She really listened to what I wanted even though I was completely scattered at times! She was able to bring my vision together and had wonderful insight and gave me the direction needed to create a beautiful bathroom. Responsive and communicative. She did a great job connecting with the contractor and making sure everyone was on the same page.

**Comment from Makehouse Design Studio:**

> One of my favorite bathroom remodels to date!  Loved working with you Kelly - thank you so much for your kind words!

## Community Q&A

**Q: Can you tell me the dimensions of this bathroom?** *(in Photo Questions)*

What are the shower dimensions and how long is the bathtub? Thank you!

A: The soaking tub was 59" and I believe the shower footprint was 36" x 46".  We did a custom layout to fit the space!
