**★★★★★ — Carole Wong, Aug. 2018**

> Alice Sin did a fantastic job designing and managing our kitchen remodel.  She is a professional of the highest regard for her vision and understanding of design and construction.  Alice was right with the construction team guiding them through the project from start to finish. She continues to offer us design assistance even at the end of the project.  Alice was truly committed to making our remodel her top priority.

**★★★★★ — Diane Hill, April 2017**

> In August 2016, my husband and I moved into a 1925 craftsman style home in Altadena.  It quickly became clear to us that our kitchen/family room needed remodeling. I came across Alice's name on the Houzz website, and liked the examples of her work. A meeting with Alice confirmed what was to become a very collegial relationship. Everyone associated with our remodel was wonderful to work with, and we feel very fortunate to have met Alice.

**★★★★★ — midzenturymod, July 2015**

> Working with Alice Sin wass a pleasure and a fun experience. Our project is the Pasadena Mid-Century, which won Alice third place in the Silestone design competition in 2013. Alice has great ideas, is very detail-oriented, and most importantly, pays attention to clients’ wishes.  We highly recommend Alice to anyone who is looking for a creative and forward-thinking designer who is personable and easy to work with.  The areas of our house in which Alice did her magic were the kitchen/family room, powder room, bathroom, outdoor kitchen and teahouse/gazebo.

> My experience with Alice Sin turned out to be perfect for me.  I utilized
> Alice's expertise for a full kitchen remodel.  What I found most helpful was
> within a couple of meetings she knew my taste and guided me to materials
> and choices that incorporated my likes.  It is her strongest attribute and it
> saved me a lot of time and money.  Secondly, she had arrangements made and
> follow-ups with the vendors and contractor planned before I even asked.

**★★★★★ — tonyshyu, June 2015**

**★★★★★ — Larry Ting, June 2015**

> Dependable responsible creative !
>  The best  designer  I like to work with     ...... I want let her do  my next house too....

**★★★★★ — Kristin McNeal, June 2015**

> Alice did a wonderful job designing our kitchen to meet the needs that we had expressed.  She was patient with us and offered suggestions and options to help ensure that the outcome of the kitchen would meet or exceed the expectations she set for us - whether our questions were about cabinet placement or countertop selections.  Her renditions were wonderful and easy for the cabinet builders and installers to work with.  I highly recommend Alice for kitchen design.

**★★★★★ — derogers31, June 2015**

> We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Alice on our kitchen remodel and bathroom addition.  She is thoroughly knowledgeable, a wonderful draftsperson and fantastic designer -- but what we appreciated most of all was her partnership with us. We knew we wanted a great kitchen, but we didn't know what we meant by that.  Through many enjoyable discussions, Alice helped us define what we were looking for and then presented ideas and solutions.  When we had a definite preference, she didn't try to change our minds but worked with us in making it a success.  When we would change our minds, she went with the flow and changed with us.  When we would think about eliminating features we really wanted to save a few bucks, she helped us see things from a long-term perspective -- and we're glad she did.  The result is a kitchen that is a delight to work and live in -- and that gets consistent praise from visitors.  The new bathroom is icing on the cake.  Nine years after our remodel, we still place Alice's business cards in our kitchen when we host our big annual open house -- and invite her to the party.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Please id the backsplash.** *(in Photo Questions)*

This is so lovely. Can you give details on the backsplash?

A: Hello! This glass and stone mosaic tile was purchased from Foothill Tile & Stone in Pasadena.  I don't have the information for the manufacturer, but if you show them the photo they should be able to identify it.

**Q: Flooring** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is this flooring?

A: Hello! This is terrazzo flooring.

**Q: What color are the walls?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Looking for ideas to paint my kitchen walls

A: Hello!  Unfortunately, I don't have the name of the paint color in my file.  So sorry!

**Q: what is the name of the tile that looks like blues surrounding frame?** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is and where do I get the small tiles around the white frame?
cindy c

A: It is a marble mosaic tile and you can purchase it at Foothill Tile & Stone in Pasadena.

**Q: Built in washer/dryer** *(in Photo Questions)*

Does the washer stay in place when it starts spinning an off balance load? Mine jumps all over, and I'm afraid to build it in, but would love to.

A: This is not my personal laundry room so I don't know what the results are like when it's in use.  I have heard from some people that the washer and dryer can rattle a bit when it's stacked, but I assume that happens more if your flooring isn't level.  If you build in your side by side units, maybe they won't "jump" as much if they don't have anywhere to go?

**Q: Laundry room** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the laundry room dimensions or area size?

A: This space isn't only designated for the laundry area and it is an irregular shape.  It also serves as a mud room and there are doorways leading into another room and the basement.  This laundry area (including the sink) is probably about 84"W x 30"D.
