**★★★★★ — laurowen, Feb. 2015**

> Anne was a great listener and helped me to create a kitchen just like what I had in mind. She saved me enormous amounts of time by being organized and direct in her approach to assisting me in choosing a the granite, cabinets, hardware, tile, and appliances--not to mention a fantastic general contractor. The result is a beautiful kitchen that my entire family loves! Anne is a true professional, and I highly recommend her!

**★★★★★ — Susan-Suda Harvard, Feb. 2015**

> Anne is an exceptional designer.  She carefully listened to all of our ideas and requirements and made every effort to find us exactly what we were looking for. She has a keen eye for detail and made sure that every component we selected worked well with the "big picture."  We spent a great deal of time together picking out appliances, granite, backsplash, plumbing, paint, etc. and I am happy with every aspect. She is reliable, responsive, and a true professional.

**★★★★★ — tombd, July 2014**

> Very creative and professional consultant who competently lead us through every step of the bath room remodeling process.  A big help in helping us accomplish our total bathroom makeover.

  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 11
  - Description: In this kitchen, the wall with the cooktop was bumped out about 6 feet. The homeowners wanted an entertaining space where friends and families would feel comfortable for both formal gatherings and casual glasses of wine. Facilitating views of the golf course as well as retaining a lot of light in the space were also important aspects in this redesign.
- [Crisp and Clean Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/crisp-and-clean-bathroom-pj-vj~1321508)
  - Location: Not specified

  - Description: Clean lines and lots of texture makes this bathroom oh-so-cozy. The homeowner's added a gorgeous photo taken at the beach by their son, and the light from the window hits it exactly right.
- [Spacious and Comfortable Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spacious-and-comfortable-kitchen-pj-vj~1055139)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 15
  - Description: What a fun project! We took the existing kitchen and extended the whole room about eight feet, adding a skylight in the process. The extra space gave us room for a huge island for prep and entertaining, as well as a really large window to maximize the natural light in the space. The dark cabinetry makes the space feel cozy, but still very spacious. The granite on the island, aptly named "Fascination" was the splurge item here, but was absolutely worth it- it not only dictated the rest of the sel…

  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 10
  - Description: Priorities in this kitchen were moving the sink away from the window (and the view into the neighbor's house!), consolidating work areas for less steps taken while cooking, and a spot for the dog food and water
- [Dramatic Before and After](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dramatic-before-and-after-pj-vj~946165)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: This kitchen went from closed in, cramped, and dark to wide open, light and airy! The wall dividing the kitchen and living room was removed, and a beam added in the ceiling for support. Now, entertaining is a breeze, but guests still aren't in the way while the hosts prepare meals.

  - Location: Not specified

  - Description: Because of the small space, some bathrooms are hard to photograph! Here is a collection of the bathrooms that can't be captured in one or two good photos- an assortment of ideas to use on your bathroom renovation.
- [Traditional & Nature Inspired Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-and-nature-inspired-kitchen-pj-vj~509442)
  - Location: Cary, NC
  - Photos: 12
  - Description: In this kitchen, I was hoping to help the client form a new beginning after suffering a terrible personal tragedy. Together, we created this cheerful, nature-inspired kitchen with a great view to the outdoors. It was also important to be able to entertain for large family gatherings, and this kitchen has space for several helpers, as well as plenty of space for buffets.
- [Elegant & Glamorous Kitchen & Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elegant-and-glamorous-kitchen-and-bath-pj-vj~838825)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 14
  - Description: For this new construction, the homeowners wanted something simple and elegant with touches of glamour. To achieve this, we incorporated lots of glass and mirrored finishes, as well as using a variety of materials and finishes like the mesh inserts .
- [Modern & Elegant Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-and-elegant-kitchen-pj-vj~509423)
  - Location: Cary, NC
  - Photos: 11
  - Description: In the original kitchen, the island was turned 90 degrees from how it is shown now, the sink was shoved in the corner, there was limited storage and not a lot of function. We relocated the sink, cooking area, microwave, and island to create a space that was not only pretty, but functional for two cooks as well. We also added a banquette!

  - Description: A stunning, and restful master bath- a place to escape the chaos of everyday life
- [Traditional & Family Friendly Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-and-family-friendly-kitchen-pj-vj~586379)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 9
  - Description: This family moved into a home with an awkward, dark kitchen. The homeowners loved the thick wood trim throughout the house, and wanted to keep it in the new design. They also wanted a place for their kids to sit and work while they made dinner each night. Combining taupe and medium toned wood stain cabinetry helped create a traditional, yet family friendly space!
- [Livable & Classic Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/livable-and-classic-kitchen-pj-vj~509030)
  - Location: Cary, NC
  - Photos: 6
  - Description: This kitchen was originally about half the size it is now. We took down some unnecessary walls, brightened the space with a huge window and skylight, and created a fun, happy space for a family of five with three growing boys. The island is even on casters (but has heavy duty brakes, so it's fine to have with kids).

## Community Q&A

**Q: Measurement over range** *(in Photo Questions)*

Could please let me know the clearance between the range top and the bottom of the microwave?

A: I apologize, I don't know the exact clearance for this photo.  You must check the specifications from the manufacturer for both the range and the microwave as it varies between each model and manufacturer.

**Q: Tile?** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the name of the tile backsplash?

A: I'm sorry, I don't have the exact name of the tile on hand.  It was a standard slate mix.

**Q: Island on Casters** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the size of the island?

A: This island is approximately 60" x 27"
