We worked with Beth to update our kitchen which included refacing cabinets, installing a new countertop/full-height backsplash, sourcing new appliances & lighting, and putting a breakfast nook where our storage closet used to be. We are thrilled with the end result...my family spends A LOT of time in the kitchen and it is so much brighter & more functional now. We appreciated Beth's design expertise throughout the process. She has a wonderful general contractor and team of experienced vendors that she works with and all are fairly priced. It was also very helpful to have her manage and coordinate all aspects of the project. Overall, we cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Beth! It was a joy working with you and having you in our home. **Comment from Beyond Redesign:** > Thank you Sarah, it was a pleasure to work with you! Most importantly, I am thrilled that you love the end results. **★★★★★ — Auggy Porreca, Jan. 2023** > I have been working with Beyond Redesign for over ten years and have always been impressed by the professionalism. I started out with pillows and I have now had them redo rooms for me. You can’t go wrong with them. **Comment from Beyond Redesign:** > Thank you Auggy. It is always a pleasure to build upon what we have designed for you to continue to complete your home. **★★★★★ — J Murray, Dec. 2022** > Our first project with Beyond Redesign was July 2019, the interior painting of several rooms on three different floors. It was a one-day, beautiful whirlwind of painters efficiently and thoughtfully attending to every detail imaginable to achieve our aggressive deadline. > > When our home's exterior required staining in 2020, we again chose Beyond Redesign without hesitation. It was during this project that I realized Beth was thinking more about our needs than we were, having identified (and resolved) problems we didn't know we had! Once again, our project was completed on time and on budget by Beth and her team of conscientious workers. > > Beth was always professional, proactive, and responsive to every element of our projects. I highly recommend her. **Comment from Beyond Redesign:** > Thank you! It has always been a pleasure to work with you. **★★★★★ — Julie Langdon, Jan. 2022** > Beth did an excellent job from beginning to end on our renovation. We updated our family room and kitchen from an early 2000s style. Beth worked with our suggestions, while filling in the rest with her own ideas which were all approved by us. She had a timeline which was followed from beginning to end. Her sub-contractors were also great, timely, and very accommodating to the shifting schedules. Despite getting our house renovated in the height of the building materials fiasco of 2021, our renovation was completed timely with no modifications. We do plan to work with Beth again! **Comment from Beyond Redesign:** > Thank you Julie! It's a pleasure to work with you and Mike and I look forward to your primary bath renovation! **★★★★★ — Donna Del Priore-Errico, March 2021** > Beyond Redesign just finished my new kitchen. My original kitchen had dark cabinets. The new kitchen has white cabinets. Very bright and cheerful. Besides the cabinets I have a new faucet, which I just love, and new stainless steel sink. Glass shelves above my sink, where a window would be is top drawer. Also, under cabinet lights, and a new light fixture. A microwave above the stove gives me so much room on my new quartz countertop. I can't say enough about Beyond Redesign. I would never have been able to do this alone. Beth Bernardi is a great decorator, and so easy to work with. She took charge, did an excellent job, and I couldn’t be happier. My kitchen is so beautiful now. Thank you so very much, Beth. **Comment from Beyond Redesign:** > Thank you Donna. It’s a joy to work with you. **★★★★★ — HU-996050513, Dec. 2020** > I recently had the pleasure of working with Beth on updating my condo > She assisted in paint and fixture choices as well as electricians and painting crews > Beth’s attention to detail was impressive and I will recommend her in the future as well as reaching out for further design projects > Linda Hurney **Comment from Beyond Redesign:** > Thank you Linda. You are a delightful person with whom to work! **★★★★★ — Julie Anderson, Dec. 2020** > We love our redesigned kitchen! Beth was such a big help and was truly wonderful to work with. I can’t recommend her enough! She listened to our ideas and needs and created just what we wanted. She helped pick out the perfect colors and finishes and paid attention to details. Beth managed the whole project and it was completed quickly--just in time for Christmas! I really appreciated her design expertise, honesty and dedication to quality materials and workmanship. **Comment from Beyond Redesign:** > Thank you Julie! It was a true pleasure to work with you!! Glad we were able to make your kitchen a bright and cherry spot to start your day with your family! **★★★★★ — Melanie Domke, Nov. 2020** > I have done several redesigns with Beth and she’s fantastic! She has great style and works with high quality vendors. I like that she is flexible and is willing to work with what I want to keep. She’s always pleasant, prepared and professional. Highly recommend!! **Comment from Beyond Redesign:** > Melanie, it is always a pleasure to work with you! Thank you. **★★★★★ — Ellen C, April 2020** > We highly recommend! We were so happy with Beth’s complete renovation of our kitchen, we knew we would be pleased with her creativity, top quality professionals as well as her careful planning for our master bath project. We really liked the way she was able to expand the shower without changing the entire layout of the bathroom. The room looks amazing!! This project, like the kitchen, started and finished on time. Beth’s renovation calendar and nightly text with the details for the next day kept us informed and prepared for each step of the project. **Comment from Beyond Redesign:** > Thank you Ellen. It is a pleasure to work with you and Michael! I look forward to our next project. Be well!! **★★★★★ — Michael Sliwoski, Sept. 2019** > We worked with Beth Bernardi and team to remodel a guest bathroom, basement family room, and several temperature control modifications. Beth was a pleasure to work with and the outcome exceeded our expectations. In addition to the project plan, Beth graciously offered suggestions on furniture placement and was excellent with paint color selection. **Comment from Beyond Redesign:** > Thank you Mike. It was a pleasure to work with you and Deb. **★★★★★ — Ann Morris, Sept. 2019** > Beth and her team did an amazing job converting a tired, old, TINY laundry room space into an expanded laundry/mudroom area in our home. From custom shelving and storage to beautiful new tile, paint and appliances - we couldn't be more thrilled with the look and functionality of the space! Beth has an excellent design eye and seems to intuitively know: 1) what will work in a given space and 2) what I will like! We love our new laundry/mudroom! AND, everything was on time and within budget! **Comment from Beyond Redesign:** > Thank you Ann. It was a pleasure to work with you! **★★★★★ — mpavalon, March 2019** > Beth did an AMAZING job designing and managing all aspects of our kitchen remodel. It turned out beautifully and it was a stress-free process! I HIGHLY recommend her as she’s very detail-oriented and she has a wonderful eye for design! It was a pleasure working with Beth. I can’t recommend her enough! **Comment from Beyond Redesign:** > Thank you so much Michele. You were a joy with whom to work! ## Selected projects - [Family Room Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/family-room-makeover-pj-vj~6810755) - Location: Willowbrook, IL - Photos: 7 - [Kitchen Make Over](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-make-over-pj-vj~6810775) - Location: Willowbrook, IL - Photos: 5 - [2020 Master Bath Complete Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2020-master-bath-complete-renovation-pj-vj~5492543) - Location: Downers Grove, IL - Photos: 13 - Description: The original master bathroom was still in place. My clients wanted to update the master bath to enjoy for a few years themselves and then to be poised to sell their home in a few years. We enlarged the shower by expanding into the space of an adjacent closet. We replaced the built-in bathtub with a free standing tub, opening up the space. We also expanded the custom linen closet for additional storage and built a complimentary two-sink vanity. We used large format tiles to open up the space and… - [Kitchen Update with a Custom Pantry and Island Extension](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-update-with-a-custom-pantry-and-island-extension-pj-vj~5877490) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Going Green...

That was a blessing! We brought all the work, electrical, plumbing, carpentry, up to code, removing the wood pecker nests from the insulation that was going to be left in place! The green cabinets added interest and a bit of whimsy to the space. The wall to the dining room was removed to increase functionality. - [Basement and Bathroom Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/basement-and-bathroom-remodel-pj-vj~5876694) - Location: Clarendon Hills, IL - Photos: 12 - Description: For their new townhouse in Clarendon Hills, my client wanted to update the finished basement to become his man-cave and reflect his hobbies and interests.

A sliding deck door precluded cabinets from one wall. We removed the sliding door, replacing it with a window, moved the doorway from the dining room and added floor to ceiling pantries. The original tile was removed and we extended the oak flooring so it is now continuous throughout the first floor. We stained the floor natural to minimize the red tones. We installed glass pendants to keep the look airy. We extended and rec… - [Complete kitchen renovation, creating an open floor plan](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/complete-kitchen-renovation-creating-an-open-floor-plan-pj-vj~5492468) - Location: Downers Grove, IL - Photos: 11 - Description: This twenty year-old home in picturesque Downers Grove was well used, well loved but looking a bit tired! We began by taking down the wall between the kitchen and the dining room to create an open floor plan. Bright, inviting white custom cabinetry, sleek quartz, double islands and a full wall of pantries created an entirely new look! The project was completed in time for Thanksgiving and well received by all guests. - [KITCHEN UPGRADE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-upgrade-pj-vj~5606811) - Location: Hinsdale, IL - Photos: 10 - [Updating a '90s home with transitional style - from dated to current!](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/updating-a-90s-home-with-transitional-style-from-dated-to-current-pj-vj~2918147) - Location: Hinsdale, IL - Photos: 18 - Description: A project that began as a kitchen renovation grew to encompass the entire first floor and master suite of this home built in the late '90s in Hinsdale, Il. The owners were a joy with whom to work. I was able to identify their style early on and the project progressed vey quickly. Our goal was to render the home current, sophisticated while still being warm and inviting. As the living room was not used and the home office was in the basement, I suggested and completed the conversion of the under-… - [A complete renovation for a 100 year old kitchen!](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-complete-renovation-for-a-100-year-old-kitchen-pj-vj~5492577) - Location: Hinsdale, IL - Photos: 10 - [Green Kitchen!

The new homeowners quickly decided to create an open floor plan by removing some interior walls. We helped them better utilize the space available by moving the kitchen table into newly created interior space by capturing some of the square footage of an 'interior' patio and expanding the foot print of the kitchen to capture a 26' long wall of cabinets. We created an island where the wall once stood to define the kitchen and allow the cook to… - [Master bath remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/master-bath-remodel-pj-vj~888506) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Hinsdale Complete Kitchen Renovation - Espresso](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hinsdale-complete-kitchen-renovation-espresso-pj-vj~1842071) - Location: Hinsdale, IL - Photos: 9 - [White and Gray Kitchen Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/white-and-gray-kitchen-renovation-pj-vj~2687421) - Location: Clarendon Hills, IL - Photos: 7 - [Hinsdale Home Complete Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hinsdale-home-complete-renovation-pj-vj~2119105) - Location: Hinsdale, IL - Photos: 33 - Description: Complete family home renovation completed over the course over several years... as the project unfolded and creatively worked together. - [Mission Shaker Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mission-shaker-kitchen-pj-vj~2687426) - Location: Evanston, IL - Photos: 6 - [Country Kitchen Facelift](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/country-kitchen-facelift-pj-vj~888606) - Location: Glen Ellyn, IL - Photos: 9 - Description: The family tired of its country-style kitchen.

How does the quartzite hold up?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thank you. The Iceberg Maxwell Quartzite is gorgeous. It is a bit delicate on the edges and in the four years that we have had it, we have had three small dings on the edges that my countertop fabricator was able to buff out and fill. **Q: Love the countertop! What is it?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Polished Iceberg Maxwell Quartzite. **Q: Please help with backsplash!** *(in Design Dilemma)* Trying to decide between these two tile tops for our master bath vanity backsplash. The faucets are a brushed nickel so worried about mixing "metals". The cabinets are a dark chocolate and the tub deck and vanity counter are creme marfil marble. Thanks for any advice! A: Definitely the dark one as it makes your decorative tiles look even richer. I would not worry about mixing metals as that tile border reads more of a color then of a fabrication (metal). **Q: Need help with my design disaster** *(in Design Dilemma)* I selected a terrible backsplash and need advice as to what I could replace it with that would brighten up the space and coordinate with cabinets and floor. Thanks so much A: Try 3x12 Bliss Elements glass tiles. Very sleek looking. Make sure the tiler knows to round the edges. If they cut them square, they will crack. Virginia Tile also carries a new line of 3x12 glass tiles. Also try SuperBrightLED.com for under cabinet lights. Three levels of brightness and two colors (white or soft yellow) light. They'll tell you exactly what to buy. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-06.*
