Orion's clients are always happy with their end result and caliber of quality. Elizabeth Rishel and Orion team are talented, professional, and fair. **★★★★★ — jgranade, Nov. 2020** > Elizabeth is amazing! I truly cannot recommend her enough. We just finished a complete renovation and expansion of our kitchen, dining area, entryway, and living area with her, and her help was priceless. My husband and I are both perfectionists and felt completely overwhelmed by all the decisions to be made with such a big project. Having Elizabeth on our team made the whole process infinitely easier as we completely trusted her judgement and guidance. Often it felt like she anticipated exactly what I might want and helped us narrow down to the best choices with ease. The details she was able to add to the project changed it from something that would have been nice to something that looks stunning. And her kitchen design was outstanding. I simply cannot believe how efficiently my new kitchen functions and the creative ideas she had for increasing our storage and workflow. You cannot go wrong with Elizabeth on your team. **★★★★ — penelopestrack, Nov. 2020** > Orion Design was recommended to me by our renovation company to collaborate on our whole house renovation. I found Orion Design to be invaluable during our remodel. Elizabeth got to know me and my style and together we came up with a kitchen layout with a gorgeous vintage vibe. She and Kitty had great working relationships with local vendors to source tile, lighting, and sundry furniture. Kitty came up with a gorgeous tile layout for a custom vintage design in the master bath and another in the guest bath. As our project spanned the Covid outbreak, their use of technology/computer based programs like Ivy made it possible to continue our work and avoid delays. **★★★★★ — Laura Schmidt, May 2020** > We worked with Elizabeth for our whole house remodel. We have an old house and wanted to keep it looking like a period house, but updated and more functional for our family. Our house is now amazing! It works so much better for our family than it did before the remodel. We added 2 bedrooms and a bathroom to the prior attic, moved the master bathroom to the sleeping porch and made the previous tiny master bath into a nice sized walk in closet. The kitchen also respects the past but now functions as a modern kitchen, and Elizabeth was able to fit in a mudroom also. Our project won awards for best historic renovation as well. Overall great experience, I highly recommend working with Elizabeth. **★★★★★ — Meghan Hurt, April 2020** > Elizabeth was so great to work with. She took the time to understand the individual needs of our family and made recommendations that really worked for us. We were very happy with her design, which allowed us to enjoy and utilize our older home for our younger family. She redesigned our basement, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, mudroom, and two bathrooms. The design she ultimately put together with our input was something we hadn't even considered as possible in our home. It's great, and we love it! **★★★★★ — Joseph Hudgens, April 2020** > Orion was such a great experience. Orion's design elements incorporated into our house have worked out wonderfully for us and look amazing. I wouldn't hesitate to use Orion again in the future. **★★★★★ — Marc Nelson, April 2020** > ORION Design was hired to update our home (living room and hearth room/kitchen) We were very impressed at our first meeting with the recommendations made and the time Elizabeth put in to carefully choose the perfect items for our home. What we also appreciated in addition to her professionalism was how she listened to our preferences. We have received many compliments on our ‘rejuvenation’ and we highly recommend ORION. **★★★★★ — Kay Payne, Jan. 2019** > Elizabeth did a wonderful job in designing our kitchen. She was both professional and understanding of our wishes. She answered all our questions and guided us in our decisions with our budget and desires in mind. i would definitely use her services again and recommend her to others. **★★★★★ — dkimmerly56, Jan. 2019** > We just put a major addition on our house. The project included a complete renovation of our kitchen, living room, office and master suite. Elizabeth was instrumental in creating a design to fill the new space. Our new open kitchen and dining room are the highlight of the house. It's all because of Elizabeth's ability to translate our desires into a stunning design. She listened to what we wanted and skillfully transformed it into a wonderful reality. **★★★★★ — MSC Enterprises Inc, Jan. 2019** > We have worked with Orion Design on projects for over six years all around the Kansas City metro, everything from kitchens, basements and master suites. We enjoy the punctuality that Elizabeth brings to every project, she is always thorough with the clients and making sure they understand what the project entails and what they can expect as the finish product. The knowledge Elizabeth brings to her clients is top notch! **★★★★★ — Sarah Wurth, Aug. 2017** > Our first encounters with Elizabeth at the start of our project were excellent. She came over for a walk through of our space and helped us visualize the pros and cons of different configurations. She was helpful and realistic, and also respectful of our budget. From there, she designed our bathroom and we had an excellent experience as we began the process of refining the look and feel with her. She was open to our ideas and very collaborative. She met us at the various hardware and design stores to pick out our materials and was efficient and articulate in terms of helping us weigh the pros and cons. She did her homework in advance, had options ready for us to review, and helped us make the right decision. She was always very responsive throughout the process, often taking questions and texts to help us make decisions or weigh in on an idea. The end product of our bathroom was beyond our expectations. It's absolutely stunning. We love to go in there and just hang out. It's peaceful, serene, and is way more beautiful than we expect. We appreciate Elizabeth's detail from beginning to end because it ensured our end product was amazing. Thank you Elizabeth! **★★★★★ — S Jacoby, Feb. 2017** > Elizabeth from Orion Design was a pleasure to work with. When we purchased our farm, we quickly realized that the layout was not going to meet the needs of our family long term. Elizabeth helped us come up with a more open floor plan that will serve our growing family well. ## Selected projects - [Here Comes The Sun](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/here-comes-the-sun-pj-vj~7681462) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Modern Masterpiece](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-masterpiece-pj-vj~7320149) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Moody Blue Lounge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/moody-blue-lounge-pj-vj~7322940) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [A Gathering Place](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-gathering-place-pj-vj~7320183) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [A Gathering Place (Primary Bedroom)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-gathering-place-primary-bedroom-pj-vj~7322999) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [A Gathering Place (Primary Bath)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-gathering-place-primary-bath-pj-vj~7323007) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Baby Blue](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/baby-blue-pj-vj~7330998) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Quietude](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/quietude-pj-vj~6824862) - Location: Fairway, KS - Photos: 10 - [New Heights on the Plaza](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-heights-on-the-plaza-pj-vj~6824770) - Location: Kansas City, MO - Photos: 5 - [New Heights on the Plaza (Primary Bath)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-heights-on-the-plaza-primary-bath-pj-vj~6824754) - Location: Kansas City, MO - Photos: 5 - [New Heights on the Plaza (Powder and Guest Bath)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-heights-on-the-plaza-powder-and-guest-bath-pj-vj~6824759) - Location: Kansas City, MO - Photos: 2 - [A Place to Grow (Bathrooms)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-place-to-grow-bathrooms-pj-vj~6828171) - Location: Kansas City, MO - Photos: 4 - [A Place to Grow](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-place-to-grow-pj-vj~6828154) - Location: Kansas City, MO - Photos: 5 - [A Light Grace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-light-grace-pj-vj~192218) - Location: Kansas City, MO - Photos: 22 - [Puttin' on the Glitz](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/puttin-on-the-glitz-pj-vj~6160238) - Location: Overland Park, KS - Photos: 12 - [One For The Ages](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/one-for-the-ages-pj-vj~2903683) - Location: Kansas City, MO - Photos: 20 - [Modern Charmer](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-charmer-pj-vj~2509505) - Location: Kansas City, MO - Photos: 7 - [Kitchen with Heart](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-with-heart-pj-vj~2495902) - Location: Kansas City, MO - Photos: 9 - [A Subtle Pop](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-subtle-pop-pj-vj~7322991) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [A Place to Grow](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-place-to-grow-pj-vj~6828080) - Location: Kansas City, MO - Photos: 13 [See all 36 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/interior-designers-and-decorators/orion-design-inc-pfvwus-pf~470057309) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/143312775/list/wish-list) — 2 ideas - [Butcher block mixed tops](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/118977928/list/butcher-block-mixed-tops) — 6 ideas - [Mud Rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/118977567/list/mud-rooms) — 1 idea - [Tile](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/58775754/list/tile) — 1 idea [See all 4 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/oriondesign) ## Community Q&A **Q: Can you tell me where you found the cork tiles for the dartboard?** *(in Photo Questions)* Beautiful entertaining room! Looking to do something similar to protect my wall behind the dartboard but can’t find anything that really pops the way your tiles do. If you can share where you got them, it would be much appreciated. A: Ken, This is actually a cow hide material by Kyle Bunting. Glad you like it! -E **Q: Quelle est la marque et la référence du carrelage vert de la crédence** *(in Photo Questions)* Marque et référence du carrelage vert de la crédence. Merco A: Seneca Tile: https://senecatiles.com/ Waterlily **Q: cabinets and wall color** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me the paint color used for the white cabinets and for the walls? A: Unfortunately I am unable to track down this exact finish. We do a lot with SW Pure White. You might take a look at that! **Q: closet size** *(in Photo Questions)* what is the depth and width of the closet. A: The closet is about 5' deep by 8'...give or take. **Q: what is the name of the wall colour?** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the name of the wall colour? A: I hate to say it but I can't be sure. I wish I could help but it has been some time since this project was completed. **Q: I’m curious about a vent hood?** *(in Photo Questions)* Is there one hidden here somewhere? It looks fabulous, but I’m wondering about the functionality. A: We did install a down draft vent behind the stove. It is a Wolf product. The cabinetry to the right and left is extra deep to accommodate it. Good question! Function always comes first! -Elizabeth --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
