**★★★★★ — Connie McNulty, March 2016**

> David McNulty is the consummate professional. He has been in the business for over 25 years.
>
> I purchased a home with an ensuite bathroom that had a pedestal sink and a horrible cabinet for storage.
>
> David designed a gorgeous vanity to suit my needs. The knobs he chose I would never have picked on my own and they truly make the vanity so unique.
>
> My kitchen is next!

**★★★★★ — ronaldjames, Sept. 2015**

> They gave me a completely new kitchen. It is gorgeous. Very knowledgable with regard to lighting and appliances. Would highly recommend.

**★★★★★ — David & Judy Harris, June 2015**

> We have worked with David McNulty on three different projects: (1) completely rebuilding a kitchen in our 100 year Georgian Lake Forest home (as well as redesigning some of the bathrooms); (2) gutting an small condo we had in Chicago by opening up space and upgrading everything to a snazzy modern look; and (3) designing our state-of-the art kitchen in our newly-constructed condo at the Chicago Waldorf Astoria (nee the Elysian).  He is a premier designer, responding to the desires of the homeowner and creating new or renewed space that makes the homeowner fall in love with their home.  He can deliver the package – creative design, selection guidance, and ultimately managing the project construction  - all done smoothly, within budget and with minimal disruption.  We can honestly say the McNulty Design Group creates marvelous spaces that enhance the way of life – and without hesitation, we recommend them to anyone who is contemplating a dream project requiring creativity and outstanding project delivery.

**★★★★ — rpstroup, May 2015**

> We used this company for a kitchen pantry project.  They were prompt and professional at every turn, offering suggestions while respecting our wishes and ideas.  They were able to take our ideas to the next level and now we have a terrific use of pantry space.  I look forward to working with them again in the future on larger projects.

**★★★★★ — landwkm, May 2015**

> We bought a house.  Wife was pregnant.  Stove broke. Do we remodel the ugly & inefficient kitchen?  Yes!  McNulty designs was able to determine our needs and desires and not overwhelm us with choices but still make it "my kitchen".  Recommendations were wonderful and the David's experience was extremely helpful.  I regret not having more time to review appliance choices but the timeline was our choice.  McNulty hired a general contractor and team that was delightful, kept the rest of the house clean and free of dust/debris, extremely respectful of the limited timeline and pregnant wife's needs.

**★★★★★ — mamakiss, Oct. 2014**

> Even though our kitchen is 2 years old this month, I am still every bit as in love with it as the day it was completed. In designing this space, David McNulty though of everything, from the transom windows over the cabinets and the large window in the pantry to allow for more light to flood the kitchen, to the cooktop under the kitchen window so I can look out onto my yard while I prepare meals, no detail was overlooked.
> I originally walked into David's showroom because the cabinetry line he has is so spectacular. He was meeting with a client that he had just completed some work for and she raved about him.  After meeting with him and two other design firms, I felt certain that David was the right fit for us. He thinks outside of the box and is able to come up with design solutions that make sense and were perfect for what we wanted to accomplish. He stuck to the budget and, although he often uses his own builder, worked very well with our builder.
> Even when his part of the job was completed, he continued to help us with add-ons. After the kitchen was done, I was at a client's home and saw a two-tier flatware drawer insert and a knife holder insert that I really wanted. David ordered it and had it installed for me.
> David also stands behind his products. A year after the kitchen was completed, we noticed some cracking in the granite around the cooktop. Although David no longer uses this installer, and they gave him quite the run around, he stayed on them until they remedied the problem to our satisfaction.
> I'm a decorative painter who has worked for the last 20 years in many of the finest homes in the Chicago area and I have to say that my kitchen is even more beautiful than many I have seen. And the functionality is amazing. Even when we have a good sized crowd in the room the overall felling is one of spaciousness. The setup in this kitchen is so seamless that I have rediscovered my love of cooking. And now I can watch the Black Hawks games in the family room through the pass-through while I wash the dishes. Such bliss!
> I give David and the McNulty Group 5 stars, my highest praise and my eternal gratitude for designing the kitchen of my dreams.

**★★★★★ — msgulliver, July 2013**

> They did our complete great room, gutting the entire space. The construction workers they use have the old world work ethic and are perfectionists. The finished product is top notch.

## Community Q&A

**Q: I like the handles on the drawers!  How big are they?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The pulls are about 5" on center. Oil rubbed bronze finish. Knobs on doors, pulls on drawers. It's my typical design flair!

**Q: What are the sizes of the drawers in the bottom section?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hello again. If you are referring to the height of each drawer front they are 6", 11" and 13". They were built by Showplace Wood Products.Showplace Wood Products-Kitchens

**Q: Are the shelves adjustable?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Standard base cabinet heights are 34 1/2". Adding a 3cm thick countertop makes the overall height 35 3/4" above the finished floor. The distance between the wall and the base cabinet countertop is 18 1/4". This is a typical installation dimension for a majority of kitchen design projects. It is base on thousands of hours of ergonomic research from major universities. Also a National Kitchen & Bath guideline. (See NKBA.org)

**Q: How long is this cabinet?  How long are the drawers in the middle?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: If memory serves me correctly this total width is 66 inches. The end base cabinets are 15 inches wide and the center drawer base is 36 inches wide. Thank you for your inquiry.

**Q: Why are you posting these photos as your work?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hickman Design Chicago is designer for this project.

A: This kitchen was designed by McNulty Design Group in collaboration with Tracey Hickman of Hickman Design. Tracey provided the beautiful island design along with selecting light fixtures, chairs, paint colors, and backsplash tiles. My professional participation was in the cabinetry layout and design planning, color selection, and hood design along with the fine tuned detailing of the cabinetry construction. We also provided all of the cabinetry materials and custom fabricated hood per my designs for our portion of the project. Too add, a special thanks goes to you, Mr. Tim Fischer or Fischer Fine Home Building whose construction expertise and eye for detail is the best I've ever seen in the construction industry!
