She was everything the article said & more. She guided us through a major master bath renovation that exceeded our expectations in every way. She was instrumental in helping us choose cabinetry, counter surfaces, tile, fixtures. sinks, tub, & shower glass. We were so thrilled with the results that we then began an even more involved renovation of the entire kitchen/dining/sunroom area of our home. These plans changed many times until they evolved into something that we absolutely love. She was patient & really listened to what we wanted as well as making suggestions that helped bring this vision to life. She guided us through the selection of cabinets, appliances, granite, fixtures, flooring, lighting, & windows. i highly recommend her & am so happy I saved that article! **★★★★★ — Cathy Surianello, Feb. 2018** > Working with Julie Deuble and Jim Mariani was a dream come true!

The renovation was complex, and involved an addition and full reconfiguration of the entire kitchen layout. > > Thanks to Julie, what was initially an intimidating project was entirely seamless! The final product was exactly what we expected in terms of appearance, cost and time to completion -- there were absolutely no surprises along the way! Through Julie we realized cost savings on appliances and materials through her valuable local network of suppliers and other professionals. Her design recommendations were consistently thoughtful and in-line with our taste and expectations. Julie was simply remarkable! **★★★★★ — scottsepanski, April 2016** > We hired Julie to give us design plans for our kitchen remodeling project. We have nothing but praise for the work she did for us. She was very professional and very friendly and extremely easy to work with. While we had some ideas about what we wanted to do, we did have some questions about how we wanted everything laid out. Julie listened to all of our ideas and then went to work and came up with a variety of drawings, one of which we went with. The kitchen has recently been completed using one of her layouts and we cannot say enough about how happy we are with how everything turned out. I highly recommend you give Julie a call if you need help with your remodeling project. > > Scott and Angela **Comment from Julie Deuble:** > Thank you so much! It was great working with you. **★★★★★ — lhaar, Aug. 2015** > We had the pleasure of having Julie help us design a kitchen renovation in our existing home that we have lived in for over 25 years. Our kitchen is a challenging space, an inside kitchen which is narrow and without window access. Julie worked with us tirelessly to explore every possible design possibility. She was always upbeat and optimistic telling us that we would eventually arrive at a great design and that sometimes it just takes time and the willingness to tweak ideas. Julie listens. She was willing to explore all ideas, whether they had potential or lead to a dead end.....all ideas were welcome and put to the design test. Ultimately, together we arrived at the best possible use of our space and a beautiful kitchen design. Julie's talent was evident in her suggestions, design and product recommendations. Her patience and great listening skills allowed us the latitude to make selections that we felt confident would create a functional and stylish kitchen space that we would be happy with for years to come. She was always accessible and responsive to questions and design challenges. When we ran into " a brick wall" as in any existing renovations, she was able to present alternatives to a problem. > We are extremely happy with our end result and have no hesitation recommending Julie to anyone looking to begin a kitchen or other room renovation project. **Comment from Julie Deuble:** > Thank you so much! I enjoyed working with you and am thrilled with the result of our efforts! **★★★★★ — mollycasarella, Nov. 2014** > From the first visit to our home, Julie was an absolute professional.When we explained what was important to us in the design of our new kitchen, Julie asked pertinent questions with great care to detail, including was there any left handed people in the family.This certainly impressed my husband, who is a lefty! > > She was recommended by friends of ours who couldn’t say enough good things about her and her ideas. Julie was the fourth designer we spoke with. She listened, took notes and gave much thought before our second and subsequent meetings. Her care in translating our ideas and half-ideas was just the guidance we needed. > > We recommend her highly and are confident that all her future clients will be as happy with their results as we are with ours. > > Gary and Molly Casarella ## Selected projects - [Modern Twist](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-twist-pj-vj~7323073) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - Description: An island is not always the best design solution! We created a large, dynamic penninsula that provides better work space and room for 5 people to sit. Moving the sink out of the corner and the refrigerator to the adjacent wall opened up the main work area. A mix of natural quartersawn oak and Sherwin Williams Waterloo on slab door cabinetry work beautifully with marble-look porcelain tile floors and grey-blue glass backsplash tile. Brushed gold faucet, decorative hardware, and lighting are the p… - [Casual Elegance](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/casual-elegance-pj-vj~7323066) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - Description: Updating this space involved relocating the dining room and removing a wall to expand the kitchen. A true team effort, the kitchen was originally designed by Todd Lewis, and Gavin and Gruppo Interior Design assisted and selected the finish materials. We made a few minor tweaks to the original layout and executed the complete project including fabrication of custom cabinetry. - [Black Beauty](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/black-beauty-pj-vj~7231469) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - Description: This builder-grade thermofoil kitchen was falling apart and the homeowner wanted to go bold! We took advantage of the 9' ceilings by running the cabinetry all the way up with a 3 stage crown molding detail. A narrow back hallway with tiny closets was transformed into pantry and bar space. Butcher block island has power running up through one of the legs. Huge secondary island is the main table for the family and provides amazing extra work space. Cabinetry storage was customized in detail to sui… - [Walnut mood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/walnut-mood-pj-vj~7231482) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - Description: The original kitchen suffered from poor lighting, mediocre appliances, and a lack of counter space. We brought the kitchen out into the great room by turning the corner and adding an entertaining area with additional storage and work space. Avid home cooks, the homeowners chose to upgrade their cooking appliances and their ventilation. Gorgeous natural walnut cabinetry is the star here. - [Lakeside kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakeside-kitchen-pj-vj~7036103) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: A small, dark cottage kitchen became a bright and inviting space as part of a whole house renovation. Frequent entertainers, the homeowners have room for a crowd now with separate wet bar and coffee bars, and a large island with seating that contributes to a great room feel. A 48" range and an extra wall oven make cooking for a crowd easier. An expansive outdoor kitchen was also part of this project. - [Modern Vibe](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-vibe-pj-vj~6439439) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - Description: Overhauling an industrial building is a labor of love. We fully gutted the former garage and added an airy living/dining addition and rooftop deck. Our clients wanted a modern space and chose materials that reflected their style and complimented the original brick which was left exposed in strategic areas. New windows fill the original openings which had previously been reduced or closed up, allowing expansive views and lots of natural light. For the master bedroom we built a drywall ceiling dow… - [Lakeside](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakeside-pj-vj~7036097) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: This lakeside cottage became a true retreat with a large addition and complete renovation of the existing spaces. Now the homeowners can entertain in style inside and out thanks to a bright expanded kitchen, a gourmet dream outdoor kitchen, and multiple decks and patios. - [Classic Update](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-update-pj-vj~5766441) - Location: Buffalo, NY - Photos: 12 - Description: This gracious apartment had been “remuddled” in a very modern style and with a poor floor plan that carved up what was actually a large space. What was once a dark and closed kitchen is now filled with light. Inset cabinetry and marble countertops are perfectly suited to the home’s style and the new owners’ taste. We crafted radiator covers that integrate into the cabinetry and mahogany countertops that compliment the original doors in the home. - [Country Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/country-estate-pj-vj~6308305) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - Description: This beautiful country home had an expansive but dated kitchen. A combination of painted inset cabinetry with a glaze accent and darker painted island cabinetry with a rubbed off detail fill the space with style. Abundant storage includes a bread drawer with a custom liner, special utensil storage, and a paper towel drawer. Mullion doors and turned legs that disguise spice pullouts are just a few of the special details that went into designing this project. Twin paneled refrigerators and dishwas… - [Parkway Cucina](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/parkway-cucina-pj-vj~5766538) - Location: Buffalo, NY - Photos: 10 - Description: White cabinets aren’t the only way to lighten a kitchen. We took a dark and heavily ornamented style kitchen and transformed it into a beautiful, bright space for entertaining. We opened up an awkwardly small closet space where the refrigerator had been and created the perfect spot for the ovens, a place to feed the dogs, and a small counter-height desk by the window. Placing the rangetop on the island provided room for the refrigerator to be located closer to the sink and made cooking a more so… - [Family Space](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/family-space-pj-vj~2921939) - Location: Buffalo, NY - Photos: 9 - Description: When two sisters decided to combine their households and found a home they could transform to meet their needs, they came to us to design the new kitchen. We took a dark, dated builder-grade kitchen and created a bright, beautiful space filled with light and ample storage for two families. Twin built-in refrigerators, two paneled dishwashers and a large range were must-haves. Pantry storage was a priority, as was a large island for work and serving space. Elegant details like the doubled-up edge… - [Country Estate Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/country-estate-bath-pj-vj~6308335) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - Description: Dated doesn’t begin to describe this master bath before we transformed it into a dream escape. The layout was poor, with a lot of wasted space, and the vaulted ceilings detracted from the intimacy the homeowners wanted in their bathroom. A new water closet was created opposite a larger 2 person steam shower. The soaking tub was placed in front of the window, with a fireplace at the foot and a television perfectly positioned for viewing. The large double vanity area takes advantage of the angled… - [Black and Tan](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/black-and-tan-pj-vj~2475804) - Location: Buffalo, NY - Photos: 7 - Description: After designing hundreds of kitchens for clients over the years it was finally our designer’s turn! The complete transformation of a dated 80s kitchen into a dream space involved relocating the laundry to the 2nd floor, moving the powder room to the former laundry space, removing the wall behind the range and adding a window. This kitchen has everything—spice pullouts, rollout drawers, swingout pantry, wine pullout, our designer’s favorite paper towel drawer, and even a custom hutch inspired by… - [Bespoke Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bespoke-kitchen-pj-vj~6867623) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - Description: Sometimes our clients have a very specific style in mind for their new kitchen. In this case, we took inspiration from our client’s favorite designer and brought her vision to life. Ultra-high gloss flush inset cabinetry paired with quartersawn oak in a walnut stain made her dream come true. The large space with 12’ ceilings allowed us to run the cabinetry 10’ high. Exquisite details include vintage-look latch hardware, icebox style refrigerator and freezer panels and pulls, custom mullion doors… - [Transitional Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-kitchen-pj-vj~2475722) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - Description: It’s not every day that you get the chance to remodel your childhood home. Our team transformed this home into one this young couple could call their own. Even with a vaulted ceiling and skylights, the old kitchen was dark and felt cramped. We removed the doors to the sunroom and closed the pass-through, which had been the original window before the addition. Placing a new, larger window further down on an outside wall allowed more daylight to come indirectly. We relocated the doorway to the bas… - [Classic White Inset](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-white-inset-pj-vj~2301344) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - Description: Even a small addition can make a huge difference. For this renovation, we bumped out an odd corner to open up the kitchen and allow a better workspace between the range and sink. Adding a window helped expand the space visually. Flush inset cabinetry and marble countertops are appropriate for the home, and the larder-inspired storage area adds a vintage touch. Modern stainless floating shelves and pro-style appliances and faucet update the space. - [Victorian Style](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/victorian-style-pj-vj~2301381) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: The kitchen in this beautiful older home bore no resemblance to the rest of the house. The ceiling had been dropped and contemporary style laminate cabinets installed in a layout that was not functional. The lighting was poor and counterspace was minimal. We gutted the kitchen and reclaimed about 6 inches of ceiling height. We added a couple of small windows high on the new range wall to bring in some more light. The new addition has a vaulted ceiling with skylights at one end and a coffered cei… - [City Style](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/city-style-pj-vj~2301365) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - Description: We took what is probably the tiniest kitchen we have ever seen and designed this open space for a small apartment. All the appliances, including a washer/dryer had been jammed into a room the size of a closet, and the countertops were nearly 40” high. By removing the walls enclosing the kitchen we were able to design a working peninsula with generous counter space and seating. Paneled appliances keep the small kitchen from looking chopped up, and every inch of possible storage was maximized as w… - [ArborCraft Cabinetry by Sierra Unlimited Construction](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/arborcraft-cabinetry-by-sierra-unlimited-construction-pj-vj~579119) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 117 - Description: We design and build custom cabinetry that exceeds your expectations. I am the in-house designer who will work with you on the complete design, not just the cabinetry. One of our most recent projects features full inset cabinetry in a finish so glossy it's like a mirror. Unique storage features include the creative use of bains marie to store utensils and a gorgeous custom knife block made of African hardwoods. - [A Designer's Own Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-designer-s-own-kitchen-pj-vj~2366611) - Location: Buffalo, NY - Photos: 15 - Description: After designing hundreds of kitchens for clients over the years it was finally my turn! Complete transformation of a dated 80s kitchen into a dream space involved relocating the laundry to the 2nd floor, moving the powder room to the former laundry space, removing the wall behind the range and adding a window. Custom alder and hickory cabinetry was designed by me and made in Buffalo by Sierra Unlimited Construction/Arborcraft Cabinetry. Appliances by Wolf and KitchenAid through Appliance Associa… [See all 31 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/kitchen-and-bath-designers/julie-deuble-pfvwus-pf~687869607) ## Ideabooks - [spa bath inspiration](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/173702609/list/spa-bath-inspiration) — 11 ideas - [interesting details](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/6978620/list/interesting-details) — 372 ideas - [storage and cabinet ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/7509197/list/storage-and-cabinet-ideas) — 134 ideas - [outdoor spaces](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/88850972/list/outdoor-spaces) — 33 ideas - [incorporating columns and beams](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/12092746/list/incorporating-columns-and-beams) — 28 ideas - [backsplashes](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/39222121/list/backsplashes) — 43 ideas - [rangetop storage](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/167399881/list/rangetop-storage) — 6 ideas - [dog wash](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/147710596/list/dog-wash) — 7 ideas - [microwave solutions](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/160766417/list/microwave-solutions) — 9 ideas - [mantels](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/162639714/list/mantels) — 1 idea - [banquettes](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/23138441/list/banquettes) — 54 ideas - [design for pets](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/7509031/list/design-for-pets) — 103 ideas - [wood flooring details](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/154598365/list/wood-flooring-details) — 8 ideas - [laundry/mud rooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/7512641/list/laundry-mud-rooms) — 92 ideas - [cool islands](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/25442979/list/cool-islands) — 52 ideas - [Lego storage](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/151260245/list/lego-storage) — 12 ideas - [rangetop cabinetry](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/144939696/list/rangetop-cabinetry) — 23 ideas - [bar ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/5346669/list/bar-ideas) — 10 ideas - [design basics](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/27861935/list/design-basics) — 6 ideas - [jdeuble's Favorites](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/3335910/list/jdeuble-s-favorites) — 49 ideas [See all 47 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/jdeuble) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
