Before and after photos of projects by Astrid Newton Rush Interior Designs. FCD: What makes you different from a designer you can find at a Home Depot or Lowes? Astrid: I can't attest to the education, experience or qualifications required to work as a designer at those stores. However, I can tell you something about myself. I am a Florida registered interior designer with over 30 years of experience in my field. I am not simply an interior decorator. I am an interior designer with professional credentials. I am NCIDQ certified. This means I have attained the highest level of profession certification in my field through my education, work experience and a lengthy examination process. Also, my skill set is not limited to one area, such as a kitchen or window treatment design. I am well versed in all areas of interior design. In addition, in order to keep my license/registration active, I must take continuing education classes every two years that cover building codes and HSW certification which pertains to issues related to health, safety and welfare.

We could not be happier with this kitchen. It was old and outdated for such a young and hip family. Dad's a chef, Moms in education and the kids are still running full tilt...we needed a makeover to suit their "on the go" lifestyle.
