They did a wonderful design and were very knowledgable about all options available. They helped us pick and order our cabinets and finishes, and stayed engaged for the duration of construction working closely with our general contractor to make sure that everything was delivered and installed correctly. They had great follow through with the small items at the end of the job which was very much appreciated. Sydney and Judy are a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — theskellys, May 2017** > We did an extensive kitchen remodel removing a supporting wall, raising the ceiling and adding an island. Sydney designed our kitchen and we've received many compliments that it's a great design. We used Woodmode cabinets in white, Thermador appliances & Carrera marble. She suggested numerous features that we love, soft close pull out drawers, spice racks on our island, knife and utensil built-ins, magic corner for storage, a mixer lift for my Kitchen Aid, an additional window and even a flatscreen tv in the kitchen. Sydney & KE Design is professional, she listens to your preferences and came up with the perfect customized kitchen for us. **★★★★★ — Mike Moore, April 2017** > After interviewing four designers, we decided on KE Design Studios to help us with our kitchen and powder bath remodeling. We were very happy with the development of the plan, the help with making the right decisions on the products, appliances & options during construction and the final result. The few problems and changes that did occurred were handled by KE Design quickly and efficiently. The contractor that KE Design recommended was outstanding, meticulous, creative and very easy to get along with. **★★★★★ — sunchenhwa, Jan. 2016** > KE Design Studio designed a very beautiful, comfortable, and functional kitchen for our home. The remodel was for a very large space, which included a expansive center island. As the kitchen is the heart of our home, their design not only included a very functional working space, (we are avid cooks), but also created a comfortable flow for alot of entetaining. Along with the kitchen, KE Designs converted the orignal laundry room to a butlers pantry/bar area. This room included a second dishwasher, and bar sink that has been ideal for entertaining. > > KE Design will go outside the box, with innovative and creative kitchen and bath ideas! **★★★★★ — Katie, Jan. 2016** > It was a pleasure working with Judy and the rest of the folks at KE Design during our recent kitchen remodel. They are very knowledgeable and professional. We had a very clear idea in our minds of what we wanted and they brought it to life. We absolutely love our new kitchen and can't thank everyone at KE Design studio enough! **★★★★★ — avocatto, Dec. 2015** > My husband and I highly recommend KE Studio. We wanted a midcentury modern kitchen that was both casual and beautiful. The Eggersman custom cabinetry fulfilled everything on our wish list. We benefited greatly from KE’s expertise in Eggersman. > Judy, from KE Studio, was a pleasure to work with. Her designs were great and we never felt rushed to make decisions. Her attention to detail was outstanding from the left-hand friendly layout down to the accent lighting. The final result exceeded our expectations. KE Studio is simply excellent. **★★★★★ — buckie70, Nov. 2015** > Victor and Judy and the team at KE were a pleasure to work with. They helped us design a beautiful kitchen which we enjoy thoroughly. Their design studio was a source of inspiration along with the team and they spent a lot of time with us going through the details of our needs along with our vision for a new kitchen, including layout, colors, materials. They also introduced us to a superb installer who did a great and thorough job in a short amount of time. We would highly recommend visiting with KE if you are thinking of home design! **★★★★★ — Style Life Decor, Nov. 2015** > Everything was done beautifully! Cabinets look stunning and very high quality. I'm very pleased I chose KE Design!!! I would definitely recommend them! Amazing team of professionals. **★★★★★ — cpcacey, Nov. 2015** > This is our second kitchen with KE and we couldn't be happier. The team at KE is always helpful and professional **★★★★★ — Margaret Baldwin, July 2015** > We are completely satisfied with our KE Design Studio experience. Sydney, Victor, Jeff and Judy worked in concert with our designer, Pat Allen of Inside Focus of Newport Beach, and our contractor, RIC Construction of Hesperia, to build the most sensational kitchen, entertainment center and bathrooms for us. We love the results of their work. > > We are extremely happy with our new home! You will not be disappointed if you hire the design team at KE Design Studios. They are talented, pleasant and fun to work with. Happy new kitchen and baths to you! > Margaret Baldwin and Daniel Gallagher **★★★★★ — fsmall, Nov. 2014** > We just completed building our first home and a top priority was quality cabinetry with a durable finish. We love to entertain and our dream was to have a large kitchen that would be the center of all the social gatherings. > Our architect highly recommended Kitchen Encounters Design Center. After interviewing several companies we went with KE Design because of their quality products and personalized service. Their designers spent countless hours creating the main kitchen and “party room” kitchenette/bar. They assisted with hardware, appliances and lighting that would work well with the overall plan. We were so pleased with the functional and beautiful layouts that we added a buffet, two entertainment centers, wardrobes, pantry/laundry room and five bathrooms to our contract. The designers accompanied us to many showrooms to select unique granite, quartz, Eurostone and travertine for counter tops and back splashes that complemented our traditional style. The cabinetry added much needed storage space to our home and took the place of furniture that would have been a less effecient use of space. The designers were by our side to the very end, making sure all the installation was completed to perfection. KE Design made our house a beautiful home and we cannot recommend their team more highly. **★★★★ — rjcchi, Nov. 2014** > KE Designs provided us with follow through during our entire project. Jeff was on top of every issue that came up during this 10 week remodel. He was a great task master working with all of the multiple parties that were involved in a very large project. I was very pleased with his responses, his ability to create movement when things stalled and his positive and fun attitude. Jeff took into consideration our entire project scope and was able to secure materials such as flooring and custom made pantry doors that made a huge difference. I loved the idea of the open floating shelves so as not to have a wall of cupboards. Sydney and Jeff both suggested using a previous footprint from the old kitchen sink to add a prep sink into our oversize island. There is NO wasted space within the design. We chose all of our options and created our drawers to match our everyday cookware sizes. It was truly customized to meet the needs of our family and two very active young children. We learned quickly they wouldn't be able to reach the built in refrigerator, Sydney quickly suggested a wine fridge that doubles as a kids fridge for snacks and drinks. The microwave drawer is brilliant for smaller children and makes every day tasks like oatmeal easy to do. We LOVE the finishes of quartz counters, custom lighting and touch faucets. I am in love with our finished project and with Jeff's diligence it was better than we could have hoped. ## Selected projects - [Rolling Hills Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rolling-hills-estate-pj-vj~4727310) - Location: Rolling Hills Estates, CA - Photos: 14 - [Capistrano Beauty](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/capistrano-beauty-pj-vj~2592804) - Location: San Juan Capistrano, CA - Photos: 15 - Description: Brookhaven Cabinetry - door style is square edged presidio raised, vintage Nordic white and the stain is nut brown on maple for the island.
