Grand Rapids, MI Space Planning Professionals

“April did a great job organizing our master closet! She rearranged our set up, added some stylish bins to our open shelving and tidied everything up in a way that gives our closet a new, clean and modern feel. I highly recommend April and her services!”

“John's vision for renovating our commercial warehouse space was spot on! His eye for design is impeccable and he's one of the easiest people to work with. Every single contractor and customer that has been to our business has been impressed with how "cool" it is. In fact, we continually here comments on the attention to detail, the thoughtfulness in preserving original building elements while adding contemporary touches, and the overall wow factor. John was ever mindful of our budget and completely attuned to how we intended to utilize the space for our business needs. If I could give Cannarsa Structure and Design a hundred stars, I would.”

“Kristine Lang is the ultimate professional. She is incredibly personable, intuitive and creative. She designed our kitchen in 2015, taking it from the outdated 80’s to a beautifully modern, totally recreated space. She took into account our own ideas and our budget, expertly walking us through all aspects to create elegance, charm and functionality. She came up with ideas we had never thought of that greatly improved the traffic pattern and convenience as the family would commune in the area. Thanks to Kristine, it remains our favorite gathering room in our home.”

“Wow...what a fantastic job Diane and her team did with the Faux Finish. This job was a lower level remodel complete with Wine Cellar and Wine Tasting Room. We really wanted to warm up the space and give that cellar feel. We opted for silver and blue hues that were beautifully complimented with a warm glow from the hand placed Mica Chips. Simply stunning and the perfect compliment to the space. I would highly recommend using Faux Real for a one of kind look in your home.”

“Lindsey came into our renovation project and saved us! We had been working with another designer that was not for us. When we met Lindsey she jumped in and hit the ground running. She understood our style and vision immediately and delivered more than I could even imagine. Prior to working with Knox J Design we were overwhelmed and not confident about our remodel. Then we met Lindsey and meeting with her every week about our renovation became the highlight of our week! She is so personal and down to earth. She works different than most designers, she works with any contracts, studios, furniture stores etc. She just seemed so much more flexible, as if each client she accommodates accordingly. This is a designer that found her passion and it shines through in every way. So Grateful!”

“Steve Werner a partner at Shoreline designed our lake home in SC. I will never forget sitting with him before we began the project. I told him everything I wanted and everything I didn't want. I gave him inspiration photos and we talked about how we wanted the house to be used. He took detailed notes and asked the best questions. About 2 weeks later he set up an online meeting to show us what he had designed. I started to cry and he thought I was upset but I was crying because it was exactly the house I had in my mind. It had everything I had ever dreamed of and it was stunning. He was involved in every aspect of the build including some of the unique interior design features. He is professional and personable. He is a great listener and amazing problem solver. He is creative and detailed. I felt like he was able to see my vision and put it on paper and then follow through making sure it was done to his standard. We love our house. I would use him again and highly recommend him to anyone wanting something very special.”

“My wife and I have been dreaming about designing and building our retirement home in Michigan for several years. We have spent summers at our existing "cottage" for almost 30 years and are now ready to make it our full time residence. We have been involved with a few large remodeling projects in the past and have found them quite painful. I was hoping to do it differently this time, but was still struggling with the whole process of planning a demolition, designing the perfect space on a small narrow lot and getting the whole project off the ground. We really liked a particular small house on the lake and somehow by accident heard that Wayne Visbeen was the Architect. This led me to their website, and he exactly described the experience I was going through. So I was very intrigued with the process he and his group used, as it seemed so much different than anything I had experienced before. We set up an appointment to meet with him in Grand Rapids. Today we spent about 2 and 1/2 hours with Wayne and Jeff. The process was absolutely amazing, and exactly what we were hoping it would be. With unbelievable enthusiasm for our relatively small project, we accomplished more in that small amount of time, than we had in the past 6 months. In retrospect I don't think we ever gave him our wish list. All we had was a survey of the lot, the existing house location and the lines where we could legally build. We just talked and had pleasant conversation, and the whole time he was sketching. Two and a half hours later we were well on our way to designing the house we have been dreaming about. We have preliminary sketches of the front and rear elevations, a floor plan, and a 3D sketch of the kitchen, dining room and living area. It all came to life before our eyes in what seemed to be a very fun, exciting and effortless process. So we hired Visbeen Architects on the spot to guide us along the way to building our new home. We look forward to the rest of the planning and design process, and ultimately to a new home on the lake. We found the process to be exactly as he described it on the web site, only it is better to experience it yourself in real time. Very impressive! Actually AMAZING! We are very excited.”

“If you need to remodel your home then I recommend Delight in Design. They did a lovely job remodeling my kitchen. I now have more storage space and a fresh modern look. Exactly what I wanted!”

“Karen, of K. Linn Interiors, is one of a kind and a true professional. From our first encounter, she understood my issues and concerns with downsizing to a retirement facility and brought forward innovative ideas to make our new residence truly our new home. Her work is speedy and insightful and respects our ideas, yet she adds her exceptional insight to use of space and design. She works well with support staff from facilities. We are simply delighted with her services and could not be more pleased with her work.”

“I've worked with Julie for close to 15 years and have always found her to be on trend, yet her designs always have staying power. She and her team have the most technically advanced presentation, conscious of clients budgets. She is truly a professional. Watch her videos on her web site and you'll know how good she is.”
