I would never have known how to choose products, materials, or colors, and her work has been absolutely first-rate. Working with her at her design station was easy. She showed me all the products and materials available for my budget and made really good suggestions. The finished rooms look terrific; could't be happier with the results. **★★★★★ — Gina House, Aug. 2016** > Shawna is a pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. We relied on her for all our decisions and she was very patient with us. :) We wouldn't have been able to complete our project without her help. Thanks to her we came in under budget and have a beautiful bathroom. We will definitely use her when it comes time to remodel our kitchen. **★★★★★ — HU-670614, July 2016** > Shawna Ralston was my designer for my kitchen/ dining room. She was invaluable at guiding me through the maze of purchases needed, from appliances to lighting to marble and granite. I had my own vision and she was able to help me achieve it, as well as suggesting some very tasteful changes. Some of the subcontractors varied from our direction and she was right there to get things back on track. > I admire her calmness and thoroughness, as well as her creativity. > > Michael Haidet/ Paradise, Ca. **★★★★★ — Denise Fortier Switzer, July 2016** > Shawna is the reason we chose Lowe's to do our kitchen remodel. She is extremely professional in her dealings with clients, always keeps their wants and needs in mind. She's very knowledgeable in design, color and is incredible with details. Whenever we were in doubt about any element of our kitchen remodel, she had great suggestions which made choices so much easier to make. If we do any more remodel work in our home, we would definitely hire Shawna again. **★★★★★ — Russ Tweten - KraftMaid Cabinetry, June 2016** > I've been very fortunate to work with Shawna Ralston on several projects. One of Shawna's many talents is the ability to listen to her customer's wants, needs and ideas. This allows for Shawna and her team to create that beautiful space you've been dreaming of. Shawna's understanding of color, texture, patterns and symmetry is apparent on every project. She is dedicated to making the process as seamless as possible and is on top of every aspect. I would highly recommend Shauna Ralston and her team! **★★★★★ — nancydosch, June 2016** > We went to Lowes looking for kitchen remodeling information. We were fortunate enough to meet Shawna Ralston who was very professional and extremely helpful. She guided us through the process of an extensive kitchen remodel. We had many visits and she was very product knowledgable and helped us pick out the various products. Throughout the remodel process the contractor she assigned was exceptional and easy to work with. The kitchen turned out beautiful and we are extremely happy. Without Shawna we would not have ended up with the our exceptional kitchen . We have and will recommend Shawna to anyone interested in planning a kitchen! > We think she is a great asset for Lowes. **★★★★★ — Steve Gennuso, May 2016** > As a manufacturer sales representative it is very important that the remodel process be as transparent to the home owner as possible. We, in the industry, all know how complex and overwhelming the remodel process can eventually become, unless you have a skilled professional that clearly communicates to all facets of the job scope so everyone is on point and prepared to complete the project to scale. This is where Shawna is literally the "Master" of said process. In my 18 years with the kitchen cabinet manufacturing industry servicing Lowes accounts, I have not yet meet a Project Specialist as thorough, detailed, and concise as Shawna Ralston. She and her team have a knack of knowing what looks great together, is beautiful in design, texture, and flow; and will leave you not only satisfied with the overall outcome, but you will never feel the impact of the remodel grind as her communication and follow-up with all parts will be seamless. She is a true professional dedicated to her craft and I would recommend her against the best of the best! **★★★★★ — viclizjones, April 2016** > My husband & I purchased a high rise apartment at the W in Dallas. It has a breathtaking view but needed someone to turn the cold interior into a home. Thankfully, we found Shawna! She helped us turn our ideas & desires into stunning designs that brought the place to life! We love the end results and got all we hoped for; a strong modern design yet felt warm and welcoming, clean lines that did not compromise comfort, and great function with flow! **★★★★★ — bbixs, April 2016** > I have had the pleasure of working with Shawna on several projects, involving the kitchen, bathroom and general design issues. > She is a top to bottom designer she handles ALL aspects of the remodel, from the idea to the finished product, she has it covered. > One job she handled, the initial design was for a very small kitchen, a galley style. Upon inspecting the job site, it became evident that there was room for improvement from the initial design. She suggested knocking down walls to make the kitchen spacious and more workable, all while NOT raising the cost exponentially. > If you want someone who will take your design and make it a reality, Shawna's your pick. > I would recommend her to everyone! ## Selected projects - [Tranquil Master Bath Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tranquil-master-bath-retreat-pj-vj~4407654) - Location: Chico, CA - Photos: 5 - [Modern Touches on the Ridge I Kelly Ridge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-touches-on-the-ridge-i-kelly-ridge-pj-vj~1712730) - Location: Oroville, CA - Photos: 4 - Description: This traditional kitchen with spectacular mountain views, was updated with clean and modern materials. With only a few layout modifications to the space (removing a small peninsula, floating upper cabinetry and resizing and repositioning the island, which is now in a contrasting wood finish) we completely transformed this kitchen. Contemporary bronze hardware was installed on both cabinet doors and drawers in a horizontal application, for a fresh look. And the dark granite was installed as both… - [Rustic Traditional I Paradise](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-traditional-i-paradise-pj-vj~1713913) - Location: Magalia, CA - Photos: 4 - Description: This cozy kitchen originally had confined quarters with a peninsula and floating upper cabinets breaking the room into two even more intimate spaces. With the help of a sludge hammer and some strong men, we were able to open up the footprint and create a spacious and more efficient work triangle within the space. This allowed for a sweet breakfast nook area, with a built-in hutch to showcase display pieces. We also brightened things up by removing the dated fluorescent light box and replaced it… - [Rustic Glamour I Butte Valley](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-glamour-i-butte-valley-pj-vj~1711741) - Location: Oroville, CA - Photos: 8 - Description: KraftMaid Cabinetry with Quartzite Countertops - [Calming Cottage Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/calming-cottage-kitchen-pj-vj~4407679) - Location: Chico, CA - Photos: 4 - [Zen Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/zen-bathroom-pj-vj~4407696) - Location: Chico, CA - Photos: 3 - [Contemporary Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-bathroom-pj-vj~4407590) - Location: Corning, CA - Photos: 4 - [European Farmhouse Master Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/european-farmhouse-master-bath-pj-vj~6371328) - Location: Gridley, California - Photos: 3 - Description: We epanded this bathroom in full remodeling project for our clients, as it was the only one in the home when they bought it. We took the room down to studs after removing the large shower stall and small linen closet. We also used the space from an adjacent linen closet in the hallway. This larger footprint allowed for a deep free-standing soaking tub, and bright spacious shower. Once the layout was underway, we had fun with basket weave tile flooring, flat pebbles on the shower pan, rustic vani… - [Refined Rustic I Upper Paradise](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/refined-rustic-i-upper-paradise-pj-vj~1713983) - Location: Magalia, CA - Photos: 7 - [Rich & Warm Traditional I North Chico](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rich-and-warm-traditional-i-north-chico-pj-vj~1716151) - Location: Chico, CA - Photos: 4 - [Refined Farmhouse I Yankee Hill](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/refined-farmhouse-i-yankee-hill-pj-vj~1716192) - Location: Oroville, CA - Photos: 7 - [Bath Suites I Butte County](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bath-suites-i-butte-county-pj-vj~1716131) - Location: Forest Ranch, CA - Photos: 10 [See all 12 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/kitchen-and-bath-designers/reflective-studios-pfvwus-pf~94356425) ## Ideabooks - [Painted Kitchen Cabinets](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/156964749/list/painted-kitchen-cabinets) — 7 ideas - [Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/156965024/list/lighting) — 1 idea - [Little -HB](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/129559721/list/little-hb) — 6 ideas - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/65808665/list/wish-list) — 3 ideas - [Bathrooms](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/69218043/list/bathrooms) — 9 ideas - [shawna\_ralston's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/65808666/list/shawna-ralston-s-ideas) — 12 ideas - [Shower Doors & Enclosures](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/69218724/list/shower-doors-enclosures) — 8 ideas - [Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/69218253/list/kitchens) — 16 ideas - [Countertops](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/69218845/list/countertops) — 2 ideas - [Backsplash](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/69218799/list/backsplash) — 2 ideas - [Storage & Organization](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/69218758/list/storage-organization) — 8 ideas - [Focal Points](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/69218379/list/focal-points) — 3 ideas [See all 12 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/shawna-ralston) ## Community Q&A **Q: Is this granite.
