She really helps you get organized, designs an efficient space as well as provides great insight on vendors to partner with on your project. **★★★★★ — HU-315791, Sept. 2016** > Karen helped us through the whole kitchen remodeling process. She came up with creative solutions for a small amount of space, respected our budget and helped us stick to plan. We have been living with our kitchen now for 4 years and I would not change a thing. I love it and the work she did for us. The cabinets have held up beautifully to everyday use with three children and three dogs. Thank you Karen!!! **★★★★★ — Linda Howard, Sept. 2016** > Karen is awesome! She designed all of the cabinetry for our kitchen, baths and office during the construction of our new custom home in San Clemente in 2008 and returned a few years later when we decided to add additional cabinetry in our game room. Karen is creative, thorough and practical. I enjoyed working with her as we determined our needs and came up with creative yet workable solutions. The quality of the cabinetry materials was excellent and the installation was meticulous. I highly recommend Transformations. **★★★★★ — lisabmers, Sept. 2016** > Excellent knowledge and expertise ! Only company I would recommend. Goes above and beyond to get exactly what you want, no matter what. **★★★★★ — ginhovil, Sept. 2016** > This company is a 5 star company. You get top notch service! Karen is knowledgable, talented, creative, friendly, patient, reliable and responsible. We did a huge kitchen remodel and Karen patiently worked with us even with changes that we continued to make. After this remodel, we continued to hire her for our office remodel, building of a laundry room and plans for other big projects. We have recommended Karen to many friends telling them they are getting the best. ## Selected projects - [Kay's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kay-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1659328) - Location: Villa Park, CA - Photos: 7 - [Caroline's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/caroline-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1655551) - Location: Costa Mesa, CA - Photos: 2 - [Charlotte's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/charlotte-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1655568) - Location: Mission Viejo, CA - Photos: 4 - [Terry's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/terry-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1595646) - Location: Yorba Linda, CA - Photos: 1 - [Christine's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/christine-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1655579) - Location: Laguna Beach, CA - Photos: 1 - [Elvia's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elvia-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1655596) - Location: San Juan Capistrano, CA - Photos: 2 - [Hallie's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hallie-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1655604) - Location: San Juan Capistrano, CA - Photos: 4 - [Carolyn's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/carolyn-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1655567) - Location: Laguna Beach, CA - Photos: 3 - [Kim's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kim-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1659307) - Location: Newport Beach, CA - Photos: 4 - [Ellen's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ellen-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1655585) - Location: Villa Park, CA - Photos: 8 - [Marlene's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/marlene-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1659370) - Location: Laguna Niguel, CA - Photos: 1 - [John's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/john-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1659391) - Location: Newport Beach, CA - Photos: 5 - [Carolyn & Rod's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/carolyn-and-rod-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1655562) - Location: Laguna Niguel, CA - Photos: 1 - [Iryss' Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/iryss-kitchen-pj-vj~1663809) - Location: Laguna Niguel, CA - Photos: 6 - [Susan's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/susan-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1661591) - Location: Dana Point, CA - Photos: 2 - [Kristin's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kristin-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1663761) - Location: Newport Beach, CA - Photos: 2 - [LaVern's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lavern-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1663770) - Location: Laguna Beach, CA - Photos: 3 - [Penny's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/penny-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1659359) - Location: Laguna Hills, CA - Photos: 1 - Description: During construction - [Meredith's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/meredith-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1661558) - Location: San Clemente, CA - Photos: 5 - [Maureen's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/maureen-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1663843) - Location: Laguna Beach, CA - Photos: 3 [See all 43 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/kitchen-and-bath-designers/transformations-pfvwus-pf~402672719) ## Ideabooks - [Outdoor lighting](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/98029129/list/outdoor-lighting) — 13 ideas - [Zen Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/115954968/list/zen-bathrooms) — 2 ideas - [Barrier-free showers](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/39337475/list/barrier-free-showers) — 15 ideas [See all 3 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/karencostellotanner) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
