Oh my, they are absolutely beautiful! We could not believe the complete and wonderful transformation from the old 20+ yrs cherry cabinets to the BM Collingwood color we chose. We feel like we are in a new home. Thank you to the owner of WBD for assigning Kate to work on our project. She was always professional, on time, friendly and meticulous in her work. We would definitely recommend the entire staff at WBD for any painting project. We are already planning what painting project we want WBD to do next. Thank you WBD and especially Kate! **★★★★★ — HU-47713725327, Nov. 2023** > I had my cabinets painted and they look brand new. Kate was such a pleasure to work with and was impeccable with her technique and artistry. I was looking around for more projects for her to do! Great company to work with - they show up on time and constantly update you on their progress. I highly recommend them. **★ — aquarian7942, July 2023** > Absolutely horrible experience with this company. The owner is very rude and unprofessional and does not have any etiquette to behave with clients. The only good thing we experienced his behavior before we paid the deposit. In fact that's probably why they even take a deposit, so that you're stuck with them. No other company asked for a deposit. > Would not recommend this company to anyone!! **★ — Kim Schmitz, Feb. 2018** > There had been miscommunication and misunderstanding regarding the timeframe and expectations by what was meant by a team/crew on our project. The PM did what he could to make it right but when we discussed the issue with the owner after the project was completed, he proceeded to talk to us as if we were the ones who had done something wrong. He never apologized for the misunderstanding or miscommunication, and went on to say that he gets irritated by customers who complain that projects take longer. He even admitted during the discussion that he's not "a friendly, compassionate or understanding business owner." Couldn't agree with him more on that and clearly he was missing the point around the miscommunication. Although the PM pulled in extra people to try and remedy it, the Owner still never apologized for any of it and even offered to "come over and strip the paint off of my cabinets." In the end, our cabinets are painted, and obviously it's the work by the painters that are saving this company. The Owner is rude, completely unprofessional and doesn't seem to understand customer service. We will not recommend this company to anyone we know. **★★★★★ — julie killham, July 2017** > They do an amazing job. The workers are super friendly and personable. They are on the higher end as far as price but the work warrants it. **★★★★★ — Norma Wood, July 2017** > Walls by Design was the perfect choice for us to update our kitchen cabinets. They did a great job! They were always on time, very courteous, great about cleaning up after each day and finished within the timeline that we agreed upon. The project manager checked in regularly to make sure project was on track. There were no hidden costs or fees. We felt the price was reasonable, big bang for your buck. Communication was excellent. I would highly recommend them and would use them on my next project :)! **★★★★★ — Ron Walker, March 2017** > Rough start but ended up doing a great job.... Kitchen cabinets look great!!!! > Cheaper than new cabinets and you get the color you want... **Comment from Walls by Design Inc:** > Thanks Ron. Sorry you had a rough start, but I'm super glad it turned out well, and you were happy enough to give us 5 stars! Please let me know what was rough about the start. You can email us at info@wallsbydesign.com or feel free to give me a call. > Nick **★★★★★ — Libbie Holmes Photography, March 2016** > I have been working with Walls by Design for almost 3 years now, photographing their projects. Nick and his team always do a phenomenal job and every client of theirs I meet is so happy with the end result. They are very well-respected in the Denver design community and are a pleasure to work with. **Comment from Walls by Design Inc:** > Oh goodness. Thank you so much for the kind words Libbie. You help us look REALLY good!. **★★★ — aechter52, May 2015** > Overall the job looks good but we were frustrated with the amount of paint that got on things around the house. Even though they covered everything they still managed to get paint on trim, counters, carpet and furniture. They were quick to clean up anything we found but we didn't feel like it should have been there in the first place. They did offer to come back and clean or touch up anything we found after they left. **Comment from Walls by Design Inc:** > Anne, I spoke with John yesterday, and he assured me that our team cleaned everything up. I told him if there was anything else that he found to give us a call. If that is the case, please call Joan, and Ryan will come out. **★★★★★ — Andrea Schumacher Interiors, Feb. 2015** > Nick and his crew are the utmost professionals and are perfectionists, which is all you can ask for! 5 stars and HIGHLY recommended! **Comment from Walls by Design Inc:** > Thank you Andrea. We love working with your team. Just glad we can be a part of your team. **★★★★★ — Ashleigh Weatherill Interior Design, Jan. 2014** > Walls by Design is my go to painter for all my projects. Before they were recommended to me I had bounced around from painter to painter never really getting the quality, professionalism and value I've found with Walls by Design. Their attention to detail, desire to do the job right, ability to communicate effectively, and the general friendliness of the entire crew always makes working with them a pleasure. Whether it's painting one room or a 7,000 sf home, I know I can trust them to do it right, which frees me up from constantly monitoring the project. **Comment from Walls by Design Inc:** > Thanks Ashleigh. It is always a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — jaimerowe, Jan. 2014** > We had a great experience with Nick at Walls By Design. We just bought a house and we had a tight timeframe to paint the entire house. Nick's crew was professional (wore the shoe covers), friendly and meticulously clean (huge bonus)! The work they performed was truly done by artists. They even came back after we moved for touch-ups. These guys are the real deal. We are customers for life! **Comment from Walls by Design Inc:** > Thank you Jaime! You and Matt were great to work with. The new doors look great in the house, and I love the big baseboards your chose. Let us know if we can ever help you in the future. ## Selected projects - [Colorful Cabinets in Aurora](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/colorful-cabinets-in-aurora-pj-vj~2842032) - Location: Aurora, CO - Photos: 9 - [Stairway Portfolio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stairway-portfolio-pj-vj~2745440) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Cabinets Portfolio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cabinets-portfolio-pj-vj~2745415) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: Here's a few pictures of some different cabinet projects that we've done. - [Tony in Wash Park](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tony-in-wash-park-pj-vj~1387549) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Bushi](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bushi-pj-vj~1267069) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Dorsch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dorsch-pj-vj~1072670) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: This kitchen was originally yellow oak cabinets...like what you would see in most of Highlands Ranch.

A: Thanks for the question, but I have no idea. We just painted the walls. **Q: Art!** *(in Photo Questions)* I love your art! Please tell me about these and the other single large piece. A: Sorry, we just painting for the designer. No idea on the art. **Q: stencil?** *(in Photo Questions)* was a stencil used, here? or is this wallpaper? A: Yes. A large format stencil. But I could not tell you what one. We did this one about two years ago I think. **Q: What is the name and source for the light fixture?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Sorry, again, we are just the painting contractor. No idea. **Q: Love this kitchen? What color of annie sloan paint did you use?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Amy, I am sorry, I don't have those records. It was painted and waxed though. So even if I told you the color, it is not a true solid. It has some variation to it. A lot of times, we do a custom mix as well, so it might not even be one of their stock colors. Every customer is unique, and we try to create a custom look for everyone. Sorry I am not more helpful to you though. **Q: Need help for my kitchen: White or Espresso?** *(in Design Dilemma)* White cabinets with dark wood floors or espresso cabinets with light polished porcelain tiles? A: Gosh Nancy, I am going through this decision myself. I know how popular white cabinets were about 15-20 years ago, as I was in new construction, and it seemed like everything we did was white. My feeling is that a medium wood is more timeless, kind of like my black sports jacket. I only need to change the buttons as long as I still fit into it. :) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
