Custom Built-in Companies in San Luis Obispo

“Excellent customer service; they really want to make sure you love your final product. Kitchen turned out beautiful. Would definitely go with them again!”

“Our once efficient and simple seventies-soundbite of a space now soars as a sumptuous sea view sanctuary. Kepler Design expertly envisioned how we could transform an attached single-car garage into a light-filled addition, while also modernizing our “forever” home. The final result includes an updated master suite, walk-in closet, office and laundry room. The one-person kitchen and tiny guest bedroom also metamorphosed into an open-plan chef’s area and lounge-worthy guest suite with so much storage. The newly fashioned coffee bar and reimagined monochromatic fireplace created our perfect ocean-optics environment. And lastly, the addition of a custom book nook and wave watcher’s window seat fulfilled a childhood dream. Jan Kepler enabled us to turn a list of hopes and dreams into a magical memory-making abode.”

“After 20 plus years in the Sacramento area, our dream of living in San Luis Obispo finally came true. It seemed the perfect opportunity for a “new look” for a new home. We had already selected paint, flooring, interior trim, and counters during short visits over several months to the area, and hours on line with the developer’s design team. We wanted an inviting and comfortable interior, not so formal that you would be afraid to sit down. We didn’t want everything to match, we wanted it to blend. It quickly became obvious that doing this long distance was a problem, we needed local help. Searching through Houzz, we found Mike O Design and contacted Mike. Mike patiently listened as we explained our situation and the need for guidance in making it a reality. Mike discussed how he works, how he “shops” his extensive resources locally and throughout southern CA to source his project. Our homework, was to scroll through Houzz and select pictures of interiors we liked and comment on them, what we liked and disliked. He would then review them remotely to develop a more complete impression of what we wanted. This was easily done on Houzz. We made arrangements to meet on our next visit to SLO and walk through the house. After our walk-through, Mike provided us with some computer generated prints of his suggestions. We offered photos of some our furnishings and accessories that we wanted to see in the home. We all agreed that not everything need to match, it being more important to have it come together as a whole. Mike was very easy to communicate with, replying promptly to our questions and concerns. We didn’t have need to do anything so drastic as adding rooms or removing walls, but Mike did make a couple of suggestions, interior improvements to enhance our space. The first was to tile our existing drywall-faced fireplace. The second was to construct a low bench along one wall, ending in a banquette seating arrangement in the dining space. Over the next month, the tile and bench project were completed. As the furnishings were not in yet, it was difficult to imagine how the fireplace tile and built-in dining seating was going to come together. Mike had to remind us to be patient, that he was also finding the furnishings, fabrics and accessories that it would make it all work as a whole. Walking into our home on the “reveal” date, taking in the change, we were speechless. “This is NICE !, who lives here?” I thought, a look, a style that was immediately our own. The sage green tile on the fireplace brought in the outdoors, the dark wood of the banquette contrasted with the light walls and anchored the room. Each room was appealing, inviting you to sit and relax. It did indeed come together. Thank you Mike.”
