### Featured Review

**★★★★★ — karenaperville, Nov. 2018**

> We used Drury Design for a kitchen & powder room remodel with 5 star results. Multiple extensive planning sessions, excellent communications throughout, highly professional, friendly work crews and adherence to a tight project schedule resulted in a fantastic kitchen. The design incorporated all the features we needed, fit our lifestyle and offered numerous convenience features we hadn’t thought about but now appreciate. Most importantly, the project stayed within budget and needed no return visits once completed but we know if anything comes up, Drury Design will work with us to resolve it since they stand behind their finished project.

**★★★★★ — Cynthia Heidorn, Oct. 2022**

> Ten years after  they completed my ktichen-bath remodel, the Drury team helped me resolve some minor maintenance issues promptly and courteously! Within a week, their finishing specialist, Dave Honquest ,was repairing the finish on a kitchen cabinet. Rick stopped by the house to  pull out a referigerator that over time travelled too far back in its cabinet. None of the local appliance dealers would help with a task so small. Basia Kozub, designer, kept the communication flowing. It's timely communication, attention to detail, and quick action that make Drury Design the best firm to use for your design/installation project!

**★★★★★ — HU-994505836, Sept. 2022**

> The Drury Team led by Janice Teague produced a beautiful and functional design and then executed on it to make it a reality for us.  We love it!   The design process sought to combined our kitchen and dinette into one truly exceptional space.  Janice listened to our goals for the project and helped us convert our space into a beautiful kitchen.  Filling it with our wish list of appliances, finding beautiful lighting, and developing a color scheme that blended the cabinets, tile and stone counters into a pleasure to sit and work in.   Drury brought to us first class craftsman to complete the kitchen remodel and who did an excellent job of working through supply chain and pandemic issues.  Not easy times.  The whole team was so professional and detailed - thank you Janice, Jeff, Sonny, Tony and the whole Drury team.

**★★★★★ — kspalmer1, Sept. 2022**

> Drury Design was invaluable to us for our kitchen and bath renovation in Southwest Michigan. They were the constant in the process that provided us with a high quality product in cabinets and countertops, measurements and oversight. Even though the project was in a different state, we heavily relied up Drury (Alicia) to obtain a high quality finished product. We would use them again in a heartbeat!!

**★★★★★ — Business\_Name\_Placeholder, Sept. 2022**

> From planning and design to the last stages of implementation, Drury Design delivered a promise of a beautiful kitchen for our family. This project was no small project, as we simultaneously had a lot of flooring work done throughout the house. We were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with Alicia. She is a very meticulous designer and we always felt comfortable working with her. She always provided several different design options for every selection – that truly reflected our style. We would work with her again on our future projects.
>
> They were very detailed in getting the measurements exactly correct as we made the floor plan. Their contractors were the best contractors that we worked with and each of the specialists brought in for various parts of the construction were top notch. They all were organized, attentive to detail, and great communicators.
>
> We are very happy with the end result of our new kitchen and we have recommended Drury Design to a few of our friends and would truly say that they are a highly organized creative firm that delivers.

**★★★★★ — Mark, Sept. 2022**

> We worked with Diana Burton from Drury Design on a master bedroom/bathroom renovation. Diana's vision for design transformed our space we enjoy every day. My wife and I often remark that we feel like our bed/bath is a five-star hotel suite. In addition to exceptional design services, Drury was very efficient in managing the project and employing high quality contractors to complete the project. We are likely to work with Drury on future projects and would highly recommend them to anyone.

**★★★★★ — Jessica Uhl, Sept. 2022**

> We had such an excellent experience during our kitchen remodel. We met with multiple companies and Alicia was the only person to truly listen to our wants and needs. She came up with ideas I never would have thought of and we absolutely LOVE the end result! Slawek and team made the demo and remodel process bearable and their work is well done.  We’ve already recommended Drury Design and Alicia to friends.

**★★★★★ — HU-522202967, March 2022**

> Finally decided to remodel a 65+ year old kitchen.  Of course there were surprises as demolition occurred, but Drury Design made the whole process as painless as possible.  The pandemic added some twists & turns, but the crew did its best to minimize delays.  Each of the specialists brought in for various parts of the construction was top notch.  I have full confidence in their work and their products.  The guys who oversaw the entire process took great care with my house, going over and above to meet my needs.  And I could always count on them to answer all my questions.
>
> I love the design that Drury came up with and I love my new kitchen!

**★★★★★ — eileenchicago, Feb. 2022**

> Drury did a fantastic job on our kitchen and dining room remodel! Our designer Janice and her design assistant were so very talented, and also very patient with us and the many changes we made during the planning process! She did a wonderful job of trying to keep us to our allotted budget by only recommending items/finishes that would fit the budget (WE were the ones that ended up pushing the project further on budget, in fact). She really honed in on our taste and recommended design elements that fit that style perfectly. They were very detailed in getting the measurements exactly correct as we made the floorplan and electrical plan for the cabinets.
>
> Their showroom is great because they have samples of all the tiles, granites, and cabinetry from their suppliers so you can pick out a lot of things in a single visit.
>
> Their contractors were the best contractors I have ever worked with (shout out to Tom and Tom!). Meticulous, attention to detail, great communicators.
>
> I say the true value of a professional depends on how they respond to problems. There's NEVER not a problem during a remodel, but the few that did come up were addressed immediately by Drury in the most professional manner. For example, one of our trim pieces was cut slightly incorrectly and while most contractors might install it and hope we didn't notice, he refused to do so because it wouldn't be perfect, and had that piece re-cut before installing.
>
> They came back numerous times after the majority of the project was done for small touch up items and misc. remaining fixes to make sure everything was 100% to our satisfaction by the end of the project.
>
> 10/10 would use Drury Designs and Janice again!!

**★★★★★ — HU-59203221, Oct. 2021**

> Where to start.......Like many others our family decided to leave the city and move to the burbs in search of more space for our family mid way through the pandemic.  We purchased a 92 year old house in River Forest (as is) in Jan 2021 with big plans to renovate and make it our own.   We watch HGTV occasionally so felt up to the challenge.   Our first project was the kitchen.  We had a healthy 6 figure + budget and goals of knocking this out in 3 months prior to moving it but quickly realized we embarked on this at possibly the worst possible time in human history as the companies we engaged with were slammed, facing us with either insane lead times (9+ months) or a massive price tag (like maybe it would be better to tear the house down and start over high).   Gail @ Drury was one of the last we met with and we liked her from the start.   She has a ton of experience in the business and is really an honest & authentic person with impeccable follow up and professionalism.  Very easy to work with.  She really listened to our feedback in the design process on what we wanted while considering our budget throughout and delivered a design of a modern kitchen with everything we were looking for in a very challenging lay-out (92 year old house).  The contract process was straight forward, a timeline was built and we were introduced to Israel and his team from their in house crew to start construction.   They assured me on their ability to deliver on time and on budget, but I'd seen those HGTV shows/heard stories and know there is always a gotcha so I had my guard up.   Turns out I was wrong again as that gotcha never came.  The one hiccup we had was a delay on the range, which wasn't even an issue because they snagged us another one to use while we were waiting.  Israel is a modern day MacGyver and not only did him and his crew impeccably knock out this job on time and on budget, but he fixed or pointed out like 17 other old house things which he helped me take care of along the way.    It was easy.  Everyone at the org is good at their role and they delivered us a stunner kitchen, on time, and on budget in a super challenging environment.  10/10 from the Schafers.  Can't wait until we save enough to work with them on phase 2!

**★★★★★ — Nancy Ritter, Aug. 2021**

> We couldn't be happier with our decision to use Drury Design for our kitchen/great room renovation. From our initial consultation with our designer Janice through the renovation process to the amazing finished product, the Drury team was responsive, professional, detail oriented and creative. They really listened to our goals for the space and presented options that both stayed within our budget and gave us the look and functionality we were hoping for. We would highly recommend Drury Design!

**Comment from Drury Design:**

> Thanks for your support and kind words Nancy. Really glad everything worked out as you had hoped. You and Janice Teague made a great team! Call any time if you need us!

**★★★★★ — Cheryl Diener, Aug. 2021**

> My husband & I had our kitchen remodeled by Drury Designs in 2002 with great results.  NINETEEN years later we had a problem with one of the drawer glides.  Rick came out & solved the problem along with giving us advice on how to change out any door hinges should we have a problem.  How’s that for GREAT customer service!

**★★★★★ — Gail, Aug. 2021**

> We have worked with Drury Design on six different project areas. Two kitchens—one in our main home and one large one in our newly built vacation home, two master baths, a laundry room, and a wet bar area. All of these projects received attention to details as well as amazing functional design. The beauty of the materials is noticed by everyone who visits us!

**Comment from Drury Design:**

> Hi Gail.  Thanks so much for this review.  Your place looks great.  It was our pleasure to work with you - yet again.  Your support is much appreciated.  Warm Regards!

**★★★★★ — debgrow, July 2021**

> We hired Drury to gut and remodel two bathrooms in our home. Gail and her team are talented in every way you'd want them to be - beautiful design, creative problem solving, tight project management, very skilled (and clean) subcontractors, all managed to a tight schedule. We couldn't be happier! Can't wait to get them started in the kitchen.

**Comment from Drury Design:**

> Thanks, Deb and Roy for posting your review here and for the support.  It was a pleasure working with you and look forward to our next project together. Gail D.

**★★★★★ — HU-167629756, July 2021**

> Drury Designs helped us turn our dream of a new kitchen into a beautiful reality. For years, we had issues with our aging and inefficient kitchen and first floor layout. Gail Drury came to our house, listened to our priorities and wishes, and she created multiple plans for our consideration. We never would have thought of the changes she suggested based on her vast design experience and skill. We were amazed by the ways in which we could increase the functionality and flow of our space. Gail was extremely patient and accessible throughout the design process. There are so many decisions to make. Gail was quick to provide drawings and pictures to help us envision the ways in which various options would transform our space. Her guidance was invaluable as we worked through different versions of the plan to meet our wishes, needs and budget. Gail was incredibly responsive throughout our design process and actual renovation. She visited our home on multiple occasions during our renovation and provided ongoing consultation even as we finalized details onsite. We are so happy that we chose Drury Designs for our dream renovation. We cannot believe that this breathtaking kitchen is our very own!

**★★★★★ — HU-218561070, Feb. 2021**

> The Drury team did an amazing job transforming our kitchen - we absolutely love it and wholeheartedly endorse Drury Design.
> Mario & Linda

**Comment from Drury Design:**

> Thanks Maria and Linda. Thanks for taking the to leave this review, and the good word!  It was our pleasure.

**★★★★★ — Ruth Winslow, Feb. 2021**

> Love, love, love all that Drury Design accomplished for us!  We absolutely would use them again and recommend them to anyone.

**Comment from Drury Design:**

> Thanks Ruth.  We appreciate the good word here.  Thanks for the recommendation..

**★★★★★ — Gail Chimienti, Nov. 2020**

> Overall, I am very pleased with the job that Drury Design did in remodeling my kitchen.  Once the project was underway, the crew did a great job.  Diana was a thoughtful and considerate designer, and worked with me to get the look, feel and design that I was looking for while staying within my stated budget.  No matter how many questions I had, Diana was helpful and professional in working through those questions with me.  Karl kept me informed each week about what work would be completed, and what progress I could expect to see. His team - especially Chris and Angel - did a great job with the painting, tiling and other work to make the project come together.  Whenever I had concerns, Jim was open and receptive to working with me to resolve them. I am enjoying my new kitchen as the holiday season begins!  Thank you to the Drury Design team.

**Comment from Drury Design:**

> Thanks for sharing your positive experience with us Gail. It was our pleasure.  Please let us know should you have any questions or concerns or need any additional service on the new kitchen down the road.

**★★★★★ — HU-63819881, Nov. 2020**

> Drury Design remodeled our mudroom. The designer was very easy to work with, she really listen what we wanted and did an awesome job turning our ideas in reality, her suggestions were very insightful. Workers that installed the cabinets and sink were very professional and polite, they deftly knew what they were doing. They did an excellent job and we could not be happier!

**Comment from Drury Design:**

> Thanks for the great review about your experience with us.  Call us should you need any service.

**★★★★★ — kayp55, Sept. 2020**

> Drury Design did a great job remodeling our guest bath. Samantha our designer helped to make it a simple process.  Tom was the lead carpenter on our job and takes pride in his work. All of the construction crew members who worked in our home were professional and respectful of our home.  They did everything possible to minimize the dust which was also greatly appreciated. We would definitely use Drury Design on our next project.

**Comment from Drury Design:**

> Thanks for this review and your business Kay and Mike!  Please dont hesitate to call us should you need any help or service down the road.

**★★★★★ — fore4golf, Sept. 2020**

> Drury Design is an amazing highly organized, creative firm who delivers on their promise for a beautiful kitchen!  I had the opportunity to work with Gail and she's a top notch designer!  I felt so comfortable with her, She always provided several different options for every selection - so I truly felt my kitchen would reflect my style.
>
> Gail put a plan together and said my kitchen would be done in 8 weeks.  My kitchen was done in exactly 8 weeks, despite some issues with our plumbing.  It was seamless and so easy!!
>
> After five years of being in what still feels like a "new" kitchen, the support and customer service Drury provides is outstanding.  Minor glitches with our kitchen garbage cabinet are easily and quickly resolved.  Drury truly stands behind their quality product.
>
> To top it off - they're just great and fun people to work with!  I do it all over again - in a heartbeat!!

**Comment from Drury Design:**

> Thanks Jennifer for your business, the kind words here, and referrals!

**★★★★★ — fargo04, Sept. 2020**

> From beginning to end it was as seamless and effortless a process as I could have imagined.  I had interviewed a half-dozen contractors and designers, but Alicia Sosa delivered by far and away the best “imagineering” I could have expected.  I had a certain idea of what I wanted, having researched it for almost a year, and with that Alicia and her team of architects embraced and substantially improved upon my initial ideas:  Ultimately we were able to remarkably improve the look and the very feng shui of my kitchen and adjacent fireplace and living room as well.  Throughout, Alicia gently nudged me in the right direction, keeping to and yet improving upon my goals.  The budgeting was straightforward and there were no surprises.
>
> Rick, Israel and the other team members did painstaking and beautiful technical work, responding to practically my every whimsy.  Every night the workspace was cleaned meticulously.   Everyone was friendly and professional.  I miss you all!

> Drury Designs came

**Comment from Drury Design:**

> Thanks, John.  We enjoyed working with you!  Call us should you need any service down the road.  Best to you.

**★★★★★ — hermanbl, Aug. 2020**

> Working with Drury Design was a fantastic experience, one that exceeded our expectations!  Our home is very old (100+ years) and the layout was not optimized for family living.  We always struggled to think how we could change it to maximize the space that we did have.  Gail and team came in and immediately had several amazing design ideas that completely revolutionized the space and worked within the confines of the home.  Once the work started, everything was extremely organized and on-time taking out a lot of the guesswork and concerns of a major remodel.  The finished product is beyond our wildest dreams, we absolutely love our new kitchen!  The design gave us much more living space, function, and storage, while looking fabulous as well.  We are so grateful for the hard work that Drury Design team put into bringing the vision into reality for us!  We would highly recommend Drury Design to others looking for high caliber design, attention to detail, and superb craftsmanship.

**Comment from Drury Design:**

> Thanks for the nice review, Brittney.  It was our pleasure.  Please feel free to contact us should you need any service on the new kitchen or have any questions as you settle in.  Warm Regards!

**★★★★★ — Kostas Forligas, May 2020**

> Drury Design.
> Not because they get so many awards. Not because they are serving their customers successfully so many years. Not because they know everything in order to transform any house in to a beautiful living space, but because we are so lucky to work with Drury Design for more than 15 years, I strongly recommend to let them design any kitchen or bathroom project for you.
> You will be so happy for that decision.

**★★★★★ — Tony Karigan, Nov. 2019**

> Drury Design hit a home run!  The most important thing that they did was listen to what our wants and needs were and from there designed exactly what we were looking for.  Diana Burton and her team worked with us over a period of time to take our house that was built in the early 80's and transform to what looks like a brand new house.  The construction team headed up by Tom Habowski was patient enough to answer questions during the construction and delivered.  At the end of everyday, Tom and his team made sure that the house was picked up and cleaner than when they started.  Great Job by everyone.

**Comment from Drury Design:**

> Thanks Tony.  We really appreciated working with you.  Please dont hesitate to call should you need any service or have any questions.  Regards!

**★★★★★ — Richard Berger, June 2019**

> Drury Design was the provider of choice for our bathroom remodel project due to the exceptional job they performed on our earlier kitchen remodel. We were not disappointed. Their comprehensive design process provides an effective roadmap for all phases of the project work. They offered creative, customized ideas, and brought both projects in on time and on budget. We found their people to highly experienced, professional and easy to work with!

**Comment from Drury Design:**

> Hi Richard.  We are very fortunate to have the ability to work with folks like you and Bonny.  Thanks for the kind words here on Houzz.com.  Cheers.

**★★★★★ — chris snyder, April 2019**

> Drury did a complete remodel of our master and hall bathrooms. The consultation/planning process was thoroughly completed and they provided different options and price points to consider. The quality of workmanship was exceptional and the attention to detail was superb! The total project was completed on time and exactly on budget.

**★★★★★ — Sharon Robinson, Jan. 2019**

> We hired Drury to remodel our kitchen and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Our designer, Janice, really listened and understood our style and preferences, was respectful of our budget, offered excellent suggestions and thoughtfully and patiently guided us through the process.  She truly made this a fun experience for us.  The workmanship and professionalism was consistently to high standards. No detail was too small to be considered unimportant. Every vendor we interacted with and every contractor that came to our home was a pleasure to work with.  The work progressed on schedule and was completed right on time for us to host our extended family for Thanksgiving in our lovely new kitchen.  And follow-up was excellent for the very few minor "punch list" items that remained after the major construction was complete.  This whole team really wanted everything to be just right for us. I highly recommend Drury and we expect to work with them again on future projects for our home.

**★★★★★ — Suzie Laney, Jan. 2019**

> Janice did an amazing job designing our kitchen, bath and fireplace.  Our project went smoothly, on schedule and as planned.  Our entire team was wonderful and very responsive. Wonderful experience!

**★★★★★ — Ted Lauder, Dec. 2018**

> These guys are the best! They spent plenty of time with my wife and I to get the details right. I think that is why the project went so smoothly.
> We ended up with just the kitchen we had hoped for and had no surprises.

**★★★★★ — Mark Augustyn, Dec. 2018**

> We worked with Gail on the design of our Master Bath remodeling project.  She offer several options for us to consider and was able to provide computerized 3D renderings of the options which were very valuable in helping us chose the perfect solution and details.
> Once construction started the contracting team was very deliberate in maintaining the schedule and delivering the completion on the agreed date.  Their quality was excellent.

**★★★★ — Mary Buddig, July 2018**

Jim understands all the details of a major remodel and anticipates project needs in order to remain on schedule. I love my kitchen and bath! I look forward to working with him on other remodeling projects!

> I hired Drury Design to help me with a kitchen rehab.  I worked with Gail and Sam on cabinet design and layout.  I found the experience extremely fun, creative, and successful.  Gail and her team are true professionals with great ideas, knowledge of their trade, flexible with changes, and they worked closely with my contractor to get the cabinetry installed on time.

**Comment from Drury Design:**

**★★★★★ — Maria Bohstedt, May 2018**

> I have no words to thank Gail, Jim, Basia and the rest of the crew of Drury Design. Building a house is not an easy task but Gail has so much knowledge, experience and incredible customer satisfaction experience and her involvement  while I was building  my house delivered a beautiful product for the various areas she worked on. She has gone way and beyond for us. My kitchen, baths, laundry, mudroom are just beautiful and perfect layouts. She pays so much attention not only to detail but also listened as to what I wanted  in my house and she delivered it big time.

> We used Drury design in the city to remodel three full baths,one half bath and a kitchen. We have been living with the aftermath for three years.  It cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars and the after math has not been good.
>
> 1\. Master bath shower: the glass between the shower and outside wall was not installed properly and we have water damage on the dry wall that has to be continually repaired.
> 2\. The third floor shower was not installed properly and has called toxic mold and ceiling repair work to our second floor insulation and ceiling
> 3\. The electrical in the kitchen was not installed properly and continues to trip where the dishwasher is
> 4\. The tile in the master bath was installed improperly and cracked. Drury did replace this but said it was our fault because we live in an old house.  However, once it was replaced we no longer has issues on that front hmm.
> 5\. Dishwasher was installed not level which caused the mechanism to not drain properly and burn out. I had to buy another 1500 dishwasher after a year.
>
>
> Overall, the owner and head contractor are impolite and unprofessional. They don’t stand behind their work once they get payment.  Good luck if you use them.

**Comment from Drury Design:**

> Thanks for taking the time to post this review. Sorry, you are having problems with your home.

> Despite the many structural and mechanical challenges inherent in a 100 year old Greystone in the city, we completed our work as per our agreement, including conducting several punch list walk-through’s to your satisfaction at the time.  We then continued to answer all of your calls & emails for any needed service and provided additional work as warranty work at no cost to you – which is our normal course of action.
>
> When we received your call regarding the closet referenced below, which we did not work in, we offered to pay for any needed repairs if the damage was the result of any of our workmanship, leak or otherwise.  It seems like you took care of this yourself, as we did not hear back from you about this or any other issues as we would have handled them the same way – with prompt responses and repairs at our expense.

> Diana did an amazing job working with us to plan our dream kitchen. She listened carefully to our preferences and incorporated those into several options at different price tiers since we weren’t decided on how major a project we wanted to take on. There was zero pressure to “go big” and she let us lead without letting her own astheitic dominate too much. We couldn’t have been happier with how the project ended up. And the Drury crew couldn’t have been more professional on skilled at their installations craft. They finished the day they said they would at the start, and there was no period of zero happening that we hear about from so many of our friends on various projects.  We would recommend Diana and Drury to anyone we know in a heartbeat!

> I stopped in Drury Kitchen because I had heard good reviews and I had seen their work on several home tours.  I thought my job may be too small for them to consider and was concerned because my style is not very traditional.  I am happy to say I was wrong on both accounts.  Alicia met me in the showroom, listened to my needs and looked at the pictures I had of my kitchen on my phone.  She showed me some countertop samples and we were on our way.  She was very conscientious of my style and budget and spent a great amount of time hunting down samples for me and focusing on the details.  The countertop fabricators were true artists.   The crew that replaced some appliances went above and beyond and the tiled backsplash is beautiful.  Everyone was polite and conscientious.  Less then two months later the work was done!

> We had a great experience with Drury Design, as we did a gut remodel of our kitchen, powder room, dining room, hall bathroom and front entry of our 100 year old home.  Diana worked diligently with us and we emerged with a very creative re-use of our spaces.  She guided us in our material selection, alway offering choices at different price levels, so we were able to splurge where it was important to us, but save a little where it wasn't.  All of the contractors involved were extremely professional and the project was completed in a timely manner.  The results are outstanding, we absolutely LOVE our new spaces and get so many compliments.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Drury Design.

Everything turned out beautifully, we are very happy with the project.  Karl our contractor was great, he listened to what we wanted and was great to have in the house.

**★★★★★ — Linda and John Gonciar, Feb. 2017**

> We recently used Drury Design to remodel our master bathroom. It was a challenging project because our master suite is on the third floor of our 1926 home. Our designer was Alicia Saso. She was an absolute professional, a good listener and problem solver. She also took a lot of the stress off of us by working closely with the various subcontractors. Each person who worked on the job was top notch in their area. They were all talented, communicated with us, and protected the rest of our home. In addition to the bath, they recommended Stanley to do the hardwood floors in the master bedroom. The entire project is beautiful, functional and we couldn't be happier.

> This a long overdue review of my wonderful experience with Designer Janice Teague and the Drury Design Team. Janice helped us with a complete kitchen/laundry room remodel, a master bath remodel and the beautiful design and installation of our family room fireplace.
> Janice is extremely professional and a joy to work with. Her talents in design coupled with  past experience as a builder made Janice exquisitely qualified to handle our large, complex project. I always felt that Janice and the Drury team were committed to delivering the best design, products, installation and service in the most timely manner. Janice worked tirelessly to achieve the perfect design for my home while also providing maximum storage and functionality. She was a constant source of knowledge and assistance throughout the project. My family and friends continue to marvel at the beautiful and welcoming home Drury Design helped create.
> I would like to acknowledge Dan Hourigan,  contractor and skilled craftsman.  He was punctual, looked after all the details, responsive and patient with minor changes that occurred and genuinely concerned about the final product and our happiness. Thank you to all!

**★★★★★ — Caren Skarzynski, Oct. 2016**

> When we relocated to our new home, we knew we wanted Gail Drury to design our kitchen, home office and laundry room area.  We had used her three times before in our previous residence (kitchen, laundry room, basement entertainment and kitchen area) and were extremely satisfied with her design creativity as well as her cabinet and appliance offerings.  This time around we also used Gail's recommended installation contractor.   From the initial planning meetings to the final touch-ups, the Drury Design team went over and above our expectations.  Our renovations were done on time and exactly within our budget.  We highly recommend Gail and look forward to using her in the future on our bathroom redesigns and closet improvements.

Alicia is articulate and very knowledgeable about products and the entire design & remodeling  process.  Alicia was always upbeat, patient during the decision-making stages, and just a joy to work with.  Other Drury employees I dealt with were professional, polite and very responsive.  I was very impressed with the level of service provided by the Drury team.  We are very pleased with the quality of the products provided and the final, end result of our very lovely NEW first floor.

> Because we were so satisfied by the outcome of the kitchen, we used Alicia and Drury again for our master bath and closet redesign. Again, another job that was exceptional in all respects. One last item to note is that Drury takes the schedule seriously. It is not just a guide it is reality. We never ran off schedule on either project. It was a pleasure dealing with them!

> Ms.  Saso was extremely talented and passionate with great insight into what our “less than traditional” ideas were to redesign a very old and worn out kitchen into a new forward-looking, state of the art kitchen. Her sharp observation skills to identify our priorities, critical design thinking, an ability to impart her ideas clearly and effectively and incorporate creative strategies into the project were crucial to us.

I talked to three different design groups including Drury; and after seeing Drury's work at a friend's house I was sold!

I was always kept informed as to who would be at the house each day and what would be going on.   If an issue arose as work progressed, I was immediately told about it and told what my options were.   No surprises.

> We worked with Diana Burton on redesigning our kitchen, family room and master bathroom.  The design, workmanship, professionalism and reliability we experienced with Drury was absolutely top-notch.  They were so good that when my husband and I were watching House Hunters International and joking about buying a run down farm house in the middle of Italy, we agreed we would only do it if the Drury crew came with us!  When the renovation of our home (the real one, not the fantasy Italian farm house) was done, I never wanted to leave and told Diana it was a good thing I have a job or I would become a shut-in.  We highly recommend Drury and Diana to anyone looking for a top notch re-design of their home.

She offered us several design concepts to chose from, worked to refine (and cost reduce) the one we chose and supported us through the entire remodeling process.
> The Drury crew, led by Dan, was punctual and professional. The entire, substantial remodeling project was essentially done with a day of the original schedule and all the trades did a great job.

Since that time, we’ve experimented with other local contractors will less than remarkable results to downright, head-scratching disappointment.

> When we made the decision to overhaul the house in preparation for retirement, we returned to Drury Design and were once again delighted by their performance. Everybody we worked with from Gail Drury, the showroom folks through the subcontractors that did the work were fun, easy to work with, helpful and above all great communicators. We always knew what the schedule was. They always addressed our concerns and they made suggestions along the way.  Just the fact that we would get a prompt acknowledgement of our emails made us feel like we were important to the company. Their follow through proved it.
>
> It was great fun to go through Drury’s design process. They made sure we were aware of all the options we had, yet guided us with budget and design in mind.  We were shown all the newest innovations but also the practical and economical as well. By creating and reviewing drawings with us, we were able to visualize our new living space and think through the smallest details that really made it special.  Since we were doing essentially the entire house, we wanted a consistency in design and feel. And, even though we worked through the house in four stages over two years, Drury’s attention to that goal produced exactly what we were hoping for.
>
> Our builder’s tract home came without straight walls or level floors, but their skilled subcontractors were able to prepare walls and floors to accommodate the demands of geometric tile patterns.  As these unknowns appeared, Drury design personnel and subcontractors met us at the house promptly to work out the best solution.

> We are providing this review for Diana Burton, designer at Drury Design, and her design team. We considered two other designers before selecting Diana even though Drury's quote was higher. We chose Diana because she was significantly more creative than the others we considered and wonderfully patient with our questions and suggestions. As we found over the course of our 4 month kitchen remodel, Diana was adaptable, reliable and she was able to quickly think on her feet when our old home revealed an unplanned problem.  Diana was supported by another designer at Drury, Diane, who was adept at measuring even when demolition was not complete and reworked our computerized plans several times as our ideas evolved. Diana also worked well with our contractor, Lake Brothers from Western Springs, IL, who we selected rather than Drury's team because we had worked with them previously, loved their precision and their bid was substantially lower than Drury's.  Eight months later, we love our kitchen design and function.  Diana's design addressed all of our wish list and then some.  In addition, her material and color selection recommendations were fantastic.

> We hired Drury Design to renovate our kitchen, master bathroom, kid's jack and jill bathroom and two powder rooms. We have nothing but good things to say about this company from our experience with our designer to the execution of the renovation. We could not have asked for a better team of people to work with. Our designer, Janice took all of our criteria whether practical or whimsical and managed to somehow capture what we were looking for. The team of contractors they put together were all very professional and the quality of their work extremely good. They were in my house during the summer from 7:30 to 6 pm everyday and I can honestly say there was not one situation that came up that made me uncomfortable. I felt that the individual contractors such as carpenters, plumbers and electricians were diligent in asking me whenever they were in doubt about an issue even if it was relatively small. It's amazing, when you do a renovation; how important things like placement of light switches etc. become.

> We were given a day by day schedule of who would be in our house on any given date and a goal  for completion. Ultimately we went slightly over time wise but with all the moving parts and the quality of the work, I felt the delay was warranted and justified based on what had caused it. We were given detailed explanations about any issues that came up and never felt as though we were out of the loop. Since completion they have fixed the minor problems that have arisen promptly and without complaint. With any major renovation there will be unexpected glitches, we were well served with Drury who were on top of those problems and working to solve them while making sure we felt comfortable with what they were doing.

From our first meeting I could tell that Drury Design and my designer Jason Wickline were the perfect match for our kitchen remodel!! The entire kitchen was gutted and redesigned by Jason. He started with several drawings and then modified them as we worked together to achieve a highly functional kitchen that also looked beautiful. Drury Design and Jason guided me through what could have been an overwhelming undertaking!! A schedule was given to me by the project manager Rick and was followed almost to the letter!! The contractor was timely and did his best to keep the kitchen functional until he absolutely had to take the sink and stove out. Jack was efficient, hard working and kept everything as neat and clean as he could!! Attention was paid to every detail and no question or concern was left unanswered. I can't say enough about the professionalism of this company. I would not hesitate to use them for future projects!!! Hopefully a master bath remodel will be in the not so distant future!!!

> We sought out Gail Drury and she personally worked with us to make our vision a reality, walking through each tiny detail, working well with her installer and our contractor and architect, making sure the whole process went smoothly.  She was sensitive to our overall budget and helped us make choices that we are thrilled with in the end.

**★★★★★ — Jan Tomaselli, July 2013**

> Gail helped me get my dream kitchen!  I floundered around for about a year trying to find the right person to help me.  Gail at Drury Design was the last call I had to make.  Very professional, insightful, and trustworthy.  I highly recommend them!

**Comment from Drury Design:**

> Hi Jan.  Thanks so much for the nice review. I enjoyed working with you.  Your beautiful kitchen still gets rave reviews in our portfolio.  I look forward to working with you again.

**★★★★★ — yourhouse, July 2013**

> Top notch, reliable and easy to work with.  On a 5 month long project, they finished within 1 week of the target deadline with no change orders.  But what mattered the most: they stand by their work.  We had a couple of random issues show up after the work was done, and John had them fixed without batting an eye.  There are cheaper alternatives out there, but you get what you pay for here.

**★★★★★ — ilhouse1, June 2013**

> Our designer Janice Teague and her team at Drury Design tackled our huge remodel with enthusiasm, innovation and professionalism.  We are absolutely delighted with our new kitchen and bathrooms.  Our project included gutting our kitchen and two bathrooms, replacing our main staircase, and refinishing all the hardwood floors.  Completing this amount of work would have been daunting without Drury by our side!

**Comment from Drury Design:**

> On behalf of Janice Teague and all of us here at Drury Design, thank you for the review and allowing us to be of service.  We greatly enjoyed working with you and are very appreciative!

**★★★★★ — Roberta Sieber, April 2013**

> We did a major remodeling project that included a 2 story addition, and a kitchen and master bath redesign. We hired designer/owner Gail, who worked with us throughout the entire process. She even suggested some changes to the architects original plan that made our kitchen much more functional. She was great at helping me make all of the decisions with finishes, appliances, etc., while keeping us within our budget. Whenever there was a question or concern, she or one of the staff addressed it as soon as possible. We were very pleased with the high level of service we recieved throughout the project. When it was finished, we could not have been happier with the results.

**★★★★★ — mtaylor52, Feb. 2013**

> I recently used Drury Design to remodel my master bathroom. I was trying to keep to a budget but still have a beautiful bathroom that would positively impact resale value. My designer, Janice, listened carefully to my wishes and concerns, and then came up with a beautiful design concept and materials that fit my budget. I was so impressed with everyone on staff at Drury. The first word that comes to mind is "professional." Everyone there takes their work seriously, is well-trained, and puts the customer first. Janice and project manager Rick were always very responsive to any questions or concerns that I had, and kept the project moving. Communication is key when you have so many people involved, and everyone at Drury, including their sub-contractors, was great at letting me know what to expect and when to expect it. This included recapping the progress via email on pretty much a daily basis so I always knew where we stood. I really appreciated that. Drury's sub-contractors were ALL outstanding; it was clearly evident how much pride each of them took in their work. Whatever the task, they cared about getting it done right the first time. Every night when they finished for the day everything was left spotless. Any time you undertake a major project like this, it has the potential to be stressful with people coming and going through your house. It was a pleasure to have Drury staff and subs in my home! The quality of their work is amazing. Owners Jim and Gail Drury were interested and involved in the project if needed. They have pulled together a very talented team. Drury Design may not be the least expensive option out there, but you do get what you pay for in life. If you appreciate a customer-focused, consultative process, along with top notch workmanship, then you will appreciate Drury Design. I highly recommend them!

**Comment from Drury Design:**

> Thanks so much!   It was our pleasure.  We enjoyed working with you as well - again.  Please let us know should you need any service on your beautiful new bath or if we can help in any other way.

**★★★★★ — pamimbeau, Feb. 2013**

> Janice Teague at Drury designed and installed our kitchen, dining and downstairs bath.  We have positive feelings about every step of the process. Janice listened to our lengthy wish list and designed a kitchen to fit our budget.  Tom, our installer, was a perfectionist. We were not easy to work with but Drury did not give up on us.  I am proud of our kitchen - the design, quality of products and installation.  I went to Drury because I was told they were the best.  I agree and highly recommend this company.  I look forward to having my master bath done next year.

**Comment from Drury Design:**

> Thanks so much for your business and the review!  Please let us know if you need any service or if we can help in any way.  We look forward to working with you again.

**★★★★★ — daveprickett, Feb. 2013**

> I hired Drury Design for design, project coordination and installation. The original kitchen of our 1920s home was converted into a butlers pantry and mud room adding a completely new eat-in kitchen through new construction. The design and material choices were a perfect fit to the craftsmen style home. In the end, just as important to us was the attention to space planning which made the rooms flow and function perfectly with our family of 5. The project management and attention to detail was invaluable, working with existing and new construction presented unique challenges. I'm glad I had Gale there to forecast and troubleshoot these issues.
>
> Six months later the home won Historic Preservation of the Year award. Thank you.

**Comment from Drury Design:**

> Wow...so nice to hear from you.  Thanks for your business and support through the years...and for your review here on Houzz.

**★★★★★ — Daisy, Dec. 2012**

> I have worked with Tina Muller in Drury Design to remodel 4 spaces: kitchen, powder room, hall bath and master bath. I have to say, Tina is exceptional to work with. She is also very personable, understanding and patient with clients.
>
> Our old space was old and gloomy. We had been in the house for 7-8 years. With so many inspirations we found at Houzz.com and all the magazines, we could not decide exactly what our style is: traditional, modern, contemporary, ... as we like a little bit of everything, but most of all simple, functional, beautiful. Naturally, the design requirements we had given out to Tina for our relevant small-space kitchen and bath were functional, spacious and elegantly zen. On top of that, I had also requested lots of storage in all the spaces so we can keep things away yet accessible easily.
>
> I am very impressed with Tina and her work. She was able to sort through and filter our input to pinpoint what our style is in 2 appointments (the free consultation appointment and the subsequent appointment). In the subsequent appointments, we were able to tweak the design to meet all our needs. As we went through the entire process, Tina always made herself available to us with additional design needs, shopping, and picking out the right wall colors.
>
> Additionally, the Drury Design is a full-service design firm that I also utilized for project management, installation services. They work with high quality partners and suppliers for my appliances, granite, tiles, lighting needs...
>
> Here is a little secret: They really do stand by their projects, products, and services. You get what you pay for and you do pay for quality work and product but they don't nickel and dime you per hour.
>
> Thinking back, it was an ambitious project. We are very thankful to work with such a professional team. Tina and the Drury Design team has transformed our 25-year-old house into a beautiful, relaxing, inviting space.  We are very happy with the work, the team and the services.

- [Two Kitchens, One Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/two-kitchens-one-home-pj-vj~7856058)
  - Location: Burr Ridge, IL
  - Photos: 23
  - Description: The Setup From the very beginning, this new-construction project was conceived not as a kitchen with a supporting space, but as two fully realized kitchens working in tandem. The homeowners envisioned a home where entertaining, everyday family life, and serious cooking could all happen without compromise. For this family – and especially for a homeowner deeply rooted in Indian culinary traditions – the answer was a dual-kitchen approach: a welcoming front kitchen designed for gathering and hosti…
- [Light-Filled Dining Room with a Moody Edge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/light-filled-dining-room-with-a-moody-edge-pj-vj~7859343)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 6
  - Description: The Setup As part of this new construction home, the dining room was designed to reinforce a larger vision shared throughout the house — one rooted in natural light, strong indoor-outdoor connections, and a sense of warmth that feels both inviting and refined. With three walls of windows and close proximity to the kitchen and family room, the dining room occupies a highly visible and frequently used location, making it essential that the space feel intentional rather than merely formal. The home…
- [Custom Home Bar with Character](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-home-bar-with-character-pj-vj~7859316)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 6
  - Description: The Setup Situated between the front kitchen and the home’s primary living spaces, this bar was originally conceived as a modest bistro-style nook – a place to sit, watch TV, and enjoy a drink. As the design process evolved, both the homeowners and the design team recognized an opportunity to let the bar become something more: a visually compelling focal point that anchors circulation through the home while offering a distinct moment of hospitality. Set within an arched recess and framed by a pa…
- [Modern Jewel Box Powder Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-jewel-box-powder-room-pj-vj~7863027)
  - Location: Naperville, IL
  - Photos: 8
  - Description: The smallest rooms in a home often create the biggest impressions. Located adjacent to a newly remodeled mudroom, this Naperville powder room was transformed from a functional but understated space into a striking design feature that reflects the homeowners’ evolving style and complements the surrounding renovations. While the existing powder room remained fully functional, it no longer aligned with the elevated aesthetic established throughout the rest of the home. The homeowners wanted a room…
- [Storybook Kitchen Revival](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/storybook-kitchen-revival-pj-vj~7857384)
  - Location: Lombard, IL
  - Photos: 21
  - Description: When this family moved into their nearly 100-year-old Lombard home, they loved its charm but quickly realized the kitchen no longer reflected the character of the house around it. A previous builder-grade renovation had left the space feeling generic and disconnected from the home’s vintage personality. Having previously worked with Drury Design and Senior Designer Alicia Saso on multiple remodeling projects in a previous home, the homeowners returned looking for help with a new kitchen they wan…
- [Calm Contemporary Primary Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/calm-contemporary-primary-bath-pj-vj~7858263)
  - Location: St. Charles, IL
  - Photos: 10
  - Description: As part of a larger whole-home renovation for a young family relocating from out of state, this primary bathroom remodel focused on transforming a cramped, outdated space into something calmer, brighter, and far more functional for everyday life. While the room’s footprint remained relatively compact, the homeowners wanted the bathroom to feel more spacious and better suited for two adults sharing the space each morning. Working within the existing layout, Drury Design and Senior Designer Alicia…
- [Year-Round Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/year-round-retreat-pj-vj~7856813)
  - Location: Barrington, IL
  - Photos: 16
  - Description: The Setup A longtime Drury Design client in Barrington reached out once again – this time, not for a remodel inside the main residence, but to bring new life into their outdoor living experience. Having already trusted Drury Design to reimagine spaces throughout their home, the clients wanted a setting that encouraged family gatherings and four-season enjoyment, right in their own backyard. The result was a pair of newly constructed pavilions connected by a breezeway: a Four Seasons room (furnis…
- [Classical Revival](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classical-revival-pj-vj~7856188)
  - Location: Glen Ellyn, IL
  - Photos: 21
  - Description: The Setup When the homeowners first came to us, they didn’t just need a new kitchen — they needed a space that would genuinely feel like home. Their beautiful 1925 Glen Ellyn residence had an existing kitchen/dining room space that, despite its generous 23’ x 12-1/2’ size, was divided by a wall. It felt seperated, stiff and uninspired. As avid cooks and hosts, they dreamed of an elegant, organized, and inviting hub where they could gather, celebrate, and create memories. The goal, as Senior Desi…
- [Mid-Century Modern Duo: A Bathroom Designed for Two](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-century-modern-duo-a-bathroom-designed-for-two-pj-vj~7857234)
  - Location: Des Moines, IA
  - Photos: 20
  - Description: The Setup What was once a dated and inefficient bathroom – filled with beige tones and chrome fixtures – was transformed into a sleek, modern space that reflects the couple’s unique and individual styles. They came to us wanting a design that felt timeless yet completely original, ensuring this 72 SF space was uniquely theirs. Emily Kreber (Design Director at City Design, Iowa – a Drury Design company) was tasked with creating a truly custom environment. The couple’s affinity for mid-century mod…
- [Warm Transitional Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/warm-transitional-kitchen-pj-vj~7860480)
  - Location: Carol Stream, IL
  - Photos: 22
  - Description: The Setup Lauren’s clients in Carol Stream asked for a kitchen that works as well as it looks – more counter space, smarter storage, and a layout that feels open and calm. The original plan squeezed major appliances into tight aisles, parked a cooktop on the island, and devoted square footage to a dated desk and a freestanding liquor cabinet. Lauren rethought the room from the studs out: moving cooking to the wall with a custom walnut hood, freeing the island as a true prep zone, building in a c…
- [Tranquil Beach-Inspired Primary Bathroom Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tranquil-beach-inspired-primary-bathroom-remodel-pj-vj~7834992)
  - Location: Wheaton, IL
  - Photos: 18
  - Description: Creating a personal retreat within the home was the goal for this primary bathroom remodel. The original space, while functional, felt outdated with heavy traditional elements, an enclosed shower, a bulky built-in tub, and inefficient storage. Our clients desired a fresh, beach-inspired vibe, light, airy, and contemporary, without a major reconfiguration of the existing footprint. Design objectives: Modernize the space while maintaining the existing layout Introduce a bright, beachy color palett…
- [Revolutionary Kitchen: A Colonial Comeback](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/revolutionary-kitchen-a-colonial-comeback-pj-vj~7859857)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 19
  - Description: The Setup After purchasing this 1990-built home, the homeowners discovered they had found exactly what they were looking for – but not in the way they expected. The original builder had a passion for Colonial Williamsburg, and painstakingly researched and constructed an authentic reproduction of a Virginia estate, complete with hand-selected brick, custom millwork, and period-appropriate details throughout. However, when it came time to sell, a stager convinced him that the specialized Colonial…
- [Family-Centered Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/family-centered-kitchen-pj-vj~7864276)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 23
  - Description: The Setup The homeowners of this Barrington Hills residence approached Drury Design with a clear vision: transform their existing kitchen into a space that would better serve their active family of four. With two young children who are homeschooled and love to bake with their mom, plus two dogs, this kitchen needed to function as the true heart of the home. The existing kitchen was functional but didn’t maximize the potential of the beautiful natural light and scenic views available through the…
- [Family Command Center Mudroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/family-command-center-mudroom-pj-vj~7863139)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 11
  - Description: Some rooms never quite find their purpose. That was the case with this space, which had gradually become a combination home office, pantry overflow area, pet zone, and general catch-all for daily life. While it offered plenty of square footage, it wasn’t helping the homeowners stay organized, and valuable storage was scattered between an overcrowded pantry closet and various pieces of furniture throughout the room. Having previously partnered with Drury Design on a kitchen remodel, these homeown…
- [Transitional Elegance](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-elegance-pj-vj~7863554)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 13
  - Description: The Setup When Samantha’s clients purchased their new home, they quickly realized the primary bath and adjacent laundry room weren’t just dated — they were dysfunctional. The bathroom featured a hulking decked-in tub, a cramped pass-through layout, and plumbing fixtures that barely worked. Meanwhile, the nearby laundry room felt more like a closet, lacking both natural light and usable storage. As long-time returning Drury Design clients, these veteran remodeling clients came to us with a clear…
- [Bold + Balanced Primary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bold-balanced-primary-pj-vj~7859810)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 20
  - Description: The Setup After 25+ years in their home, these long-time clients were ready to upgrade their outdated primary bath into something more modern, functional, and reflective of their personal taste. The original space had all the hallmarks of a ’90s builder-grade bathroom — bulky built-in tub, undersized shower, and a layout that wasn’t making the most of the square footage. With the kids grown and a successful kitchen remodel already under their belt, the couple returned to Drury Design for a compl…
- [Modern Warm Kitchen Transformation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-warm-kitchen-transformation-pj-vj~7861720)
  - Location: Glen Ellyn, IL
  - Photos: 19
  - Description: The Setup These clients contacted Drury Design right as they were closing on their new home in Glen Ellyn – they hadn’t even moved in yet. The young family was transitioning from city living to the suburbs to accommodate their growing family, including a young daughter and plans for expansion. They fell in love with this beautiful home but wanted to make the kitchen truly their own before settling in. Rather than a complete transformation, they were looking for a thoughtful update that would bri…
- [Transitional Kitchen with Wet Bar and Powder Room Refresh](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-kitchen-with-wet-bar-and-powder-room-refresh-pj-vj~7861047)
  - Location: Prospect Heights, IL
  - Photos: 25
  - Description: The Setup The homeowners knew what felt off, and what they wanted instead: retire the chopped-up peninsula, center the room around a real island, pull the nearby wet bar into the plan, and give an adjacent powder room a crisp, modern refresh. Where to begin? Senior Designer Alicia Saso started with discovery: conversations about how her clients cook and host, what they love and what they don’t, must-haves vs. nice-to-haves, and the path to a smart budget and timeline. From that shared brief (and…
- [Modern Architectural Rebirth](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-architectural-rebirth-pj-vj~7860399)
  - Location: Hammond, IN
  - Photos: 22
  - Description: The Setup After residing in their traditional home for nearly 40 years, these clients in Indiana knew it was time to address their primary bathroom. While the house itself boasted a classic charm, the existing bathroom was dramatically out of sync, trapped in a past era of “funky, cool modern.” It featured an awkward, inefficient layout with two toilets, a shower oddly placed in the middle of the room, a massive, raised tub deck, an unnecessary fireplace, mirrors covering every surface, and even…
- [Refined Simple Primary Bathroom Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/refined-simple-primary-bathroom-remodel-pj-vj~7585873)
  - Location: Riverside, IL
  - Photos: 11
  - Description: The Setup When our clients decided to remodel their primary bathroom, the goal was to transform the space into a brighter, more open retreat tailored to their needs. The previous layout, with its enclosed zones and limited functionality, no longer met their needs. By reimagining the layout and introducing thoughtful design choices, we created a modern, elegant bathroom that serves their current and future lifestyle. Design objectives: Create a brighter, more open bathroom while maintaining priva…
