### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Erin Mathias, May 2024**

> Dana did a great job on our kitchen remodel!We made several changes to address functionality and she had so many wonderful ideas to help us make the most of our budget. I would definitely recommend Bella Domicile for anyone in the midst of a remodel.

**Comment from Kitchen Ideas Center:**

> Thank you, Erin; it was fun to work together!  It is amazing how even just a few small tweaks can really make a big difference!

**★★★★★ — Julie V, Oct. 2023**

> Dana redesigned our master bathroom and we couldn't be happier.  She listened to our needs, asked great questions to help us figure out how we'd like to live in the space and came up with a total redesign that surprised and delighted us.  On a weekly basis, my husband exclaims how much he loves our new bathroom.
> Not only is she a great designer, she is a nice person and very easy to work with.  She was frank about costs, knows her products, the latest trends, etc. etc..    We have total confidence in Dana.  In fact, we're just starting a kitchen remodel with her and can't wait to see what ideas she comes up with.  I would hands down recommend Dana for any house project.  We are lucky to have found her!  Thanks again and again Dana!

**Comment from Kitchen Ideas Center:**

> That is all so good to hear, Julie!   I love how he doesn't have to trek to the hall bathroom every day to get ready anymore since the space is working so much better for you now!

**★★★★★ — Mary Bartzen, April 2023**

> Working with Dana was wonderful - we are SO HAPPY with our new kitchen!  Dana is a consummate professional and created a beautiful kitchen design for us incorporating elements that had never even occurred to us.  Dana is easy to work with, prompt, efficient, and gracious.  She answered all our questions, helped us through extensive decision-making sessions, and continues to help us when needs arise, years after the completion of the project!

**Comment from Kitchen Ideas Center:**

> Mary, I am so glad we had the opportunity to work together on your kitchen remodeling project and I truly appreciate your kind words!  We need to come up with other excuses to see each other again.  Thank you!

**★★★★★ — Kendres, April 2023**

> I worked with Dana on a remodel of my kitchen.  She was great to work with!  She came up with a design I loved and presented it in a very organized fashion.  I could count on her to think of all the details I might have missed.  She followed through with checking in on the finished product and quickly resolved any issues.  We were very happy with the results.    Highly recommend!

**Comment from Kitchen Ideas Center:**

> Thank you so much; you were so great to work with as well!  I love how much more open your home is now and I think we did some great things with a small space!  Enjoy!

**★★★★★ — Wendy, Feb. 2022**

> Dana was such a gem to work with thru our recent master bath remodel.
> We were so lucky to find someone who is so passionate about her work!
> She is not only kind and professional, but has creative ideas and design techniques.
> Dana was also a great listener and developed a new layout that addressed all items on our check list..
> We love our new bathroom and closet, thank you!

**Comment from Kitchen Ideas Center:**

> Thank you, Wendy!  There were some challenges that came up with me learning a new product line and I appreciated your patience and grace as we worked through them.  I hope you enjoy your new bathroom for many years to come!

**★★★★★ — Nora Fitzgerald, Feb. 2022**

> Dana is outstanding! Her design sense is beautiful and her client service is off the charts. She helped me personalize my home so it’s both beautiful and comfortable. She went above and beyond every step of the way. Very thoughtful and easy to work with.

**Comment from Kitchen Ideas Center:**

> Thank you so much, Nora!  I loved the opportunity you gave me to flex my design skills and create something so unique for you!

**★★★★★ — Brenda Schuppe, Jan. 2022**

> It is true, Dana turns our dreams and wish list into reality and more!!!  We’ve remodeled our kitchen, main bath and laundry room with Dana leading the way!!  She listens to your ideas, takes a detailed review of the space and then creates a wonderful plan adding in her own ideas!!  Dana doesn’t stop there, she is involved/leading the project until completion.  Dana hand picks the contractors she uses and they are excellent.  We are very happy with how everything turned out, so much better than what we could have done on our own.  Easiest remodel we’ve ever done.

**Comment from Kitchen Ideas Center:**

> What fun it was to transform your home with you!  I'm so glad you felt good through this process; you've had some rough projects in the past in other parts of the country.  I'm pretty sure you need to stay in Madison forever this time; I don't know how you would even be able to consider leaving your stunning new kitchen and bathroom!

**★★★★★ — Laura Kraemer, Dec. 2021**

> Dana is outstanding to work with!  This is our second project working with her.  Her design and planning skills are the best in the business.  She is a good communicator and listener.
> Her attention to detail is amazing and because of this, she can offer up innovative and creative ideas.
> Most people don't understand how important local connections are. Dana's connections to contractors and sub-contractors to complete the project make everything work seamlessly.
> I wish I had some photos to show!!!

**Comment from Kitchen Ideas Center:**

> Thank you, Laura; that is so kind, especially since you are a designer, too!  Your home is lovely and I think we made a great team and I appreciate the opportunity to work together a second time!

**★★★★★ — Mary Vandenavond, Dec. 2021**

> We engaged Dana to design and assist us with managing a kitchen remodel.  We were referred to Bella Domicile by a friend and we are very pleased with the final outcome.  It has been 1 year since we completed the remodel and we are still in love with the changes we made.
> Dana really listens and is able to provide solutions that are what the client likes and what is within the budget. Our final plan incorporated existing cabinets and new cabinets. Dana has many great relationships with vendors in the Madison area, which worked well for us in selecting flooring, fixtures and even a contractor.  Dana provide the right level of guidance, was available and during COVID conducted several video calls with us.

**Comment from Kitchen Ideas Center:**

> Thank you, Mary!  We did a major re-direct on the project when Covid hit so it is good to hear that you love the new space even when not everything was brand new!

**★★★★★ — KITCHEN & BATH REMODEL, Oct. 2021**

> We enjoyed working with Dana.  Her knowledge and experience made our decision-making so much easier.  We are very pleased with our project.

**★★★★★ — Shirley Francis, Nov. 2020**

> Dana Langreck designed our recently renovated kitchen and basement.  She transformed our small, dark, inefficient kitchen into a bright, beautiful, and seemingly much larger space.  We enjoyed working with her, and found her to be innovative, meticulous, and professional.  She was an excellent resource for cabinet, countertop, flooring, and hardware selections.  We also witnessed her considerable technical expertise, such as her placement of a stainless steel backsplash piece in a difficult area behind the range.  Dana did a great job for us, and we highly recommend her.

**Comment from Kitchen Ideas Center:**

> Thank you, Shirley!  I am so grateful to work with you as part of your team to help transform your kitchen.  A few tweaks made such a big difference and I hope you enjoy working in there for many years to come!

**★★★★★ — Laura Anderson, Nov. 2020**

> Dana was a joy to work with and is a consummate design professional!  Our confidence in Dana was a key asset as we took the big step to redo our kitchen and family room.  We highly recommend her and would love the opportunity to work with her again on another project!

**Comment from Kitchen Ideas Center:**

> You are so kind, Laura.  We made a great team and your home now beautifully reflects your style so much better!  I'd love to work with you on another project; keep me posted!

## Community Q&A

**Q: Where are those wood shelves from?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I am interested in thin, floating wood shelves and can't figure out how to make them floating if they are at thin,.

A: Hi, the key is to get a bracket that you bury into the wall and the shelf has to be routed to accept the support piece extending from the wall.   Here are a couple of resources:
Floating Shelves & Desks \| Free Hanging Shelf Bracket \| Original Granite Bracket - The Original Granite Bracket 
Floating Shelves, Wall Shelves \| Federal Brace

**Q: What is the total length of the bench including fittings?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The general contractor and client worked directly together on that part of the project but the wall that the bench was built on was 45" long and the bench extended out a few inches past so my best estimate is that it was 48" long. Thank you!

**Q: The bar top is beautiful.** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you please tell me what it is and what kind of light is backlighting it?

A: The raised bar top is ThinkGlass.  It is 1-1/2" thick and there is a metal channel on the faucet side of the curve that houses LED lights that were provided by ThinkGlass.  There is a remote control for the lights and it has multiple color options available.
