Thank you for your heartfelt words and being open minded to consider the alternate layout for your space! It has been a pleasure to work with you integrating your wish list items; I know you'll appreciate the extra details as you are enjoying your kitchen for years to come. I look forward to seeing the finished "coastal zen" transformation, many thanks.







Thank you for your kind words, you and your husband are delightful clients! I think I had the most fun with your FROG office space, so many wonderful spaces in your lovely home, I will share once we get them photographed!

I love a challenge and was thrilled to incorporate the colorful wish list items for your sweet efficient space! (Custom blue cabinets, walnut counters, nautical accents... so FUN!) Thank you so much for your kind words, I look forward to sharing photos, the integrated drain board and cheerful retro-style refrigerator are among my favorites.


Thank you for taking the time to express your frustration, it sickens me that you’re upset as my goal is always delighted clients regardless of the budget. I am truly very upset that I fell short of that expectation.
When I meet with prospective clients, as was the case with you, we discuss goals and plans as well as the budget. For your master bathroom renovation, you wanted many changes including a dramatic re-design with plumbing being relocated, new tile flooring, shower walls, fixtures, cabinets, counters, storage etc. I was concerned with your budget constraints and I shared with you some resources regarding typical similar project costs as well as a budgeting tool to help you as you made decisions to allocate available funds etc. After reviewing all of this, you chose to retain my services for the re-design of the space even though the documents (Remodeling Magazine’s 2017 Cost V. Value Report ) I shared with you revealed much higher costs than your initial budget.
As you have suggested, I referred you to an excellent contractor, and after multiple plan revisions, the contractor visited the site with multiple trades people in order to accurately quote the labor portion of your project. Obviously, that cannot be done before the detailed scope of work is defined, and his estimate came in higher than anticipated.
Projects get scaled back and changed occasionally as customer’s dream spaces don’t match their spend limits. In your case both you and your spouse were emailing the contractor and me, however, it was not clear that some emails were intended for me, rather than the contractor. I am sure this added to your frustration.
When I work with clients and purchase materials for them from reputable vendors, I carefully consider how each piece fits with the next in terms of functionality, design and, of course, budget. Because you purchased your own items from various on-line sources I simply cannot take responsibility for pieces that were incompatible.
Again, I am sincerely distressed that you were not completely delighted with the services I provided.







Thank you for your kind words, has it been that long? Sheesh, time flies! It was a pleasure to assist with your beach front home and all three projects went flawlessly! What a treat to help with your kitchens and bathrooms, it's so nice when technology works to our advantage, pretty easy to send plans and communicate electronically. I'm delighted you are enjoying your "not-so-new-now" home.

It was a privilege and a pleasure to work with you, thank you for your kind words. I so appreciate the time you took to carefully consider my ideas in order to best incorporate them with the long term vision for your home as your family changes over the coming years. I'm delighted you're enjoying the space and happy to see your project has been featured as a "Kitchen of the Week" here on Houzz!











ADDENDUM... It's great to hear the kitchen accommodated the holiday crowd; Slainte!

What a privilege it has been to transform two bathrooms for you: thank you very much for your kind words. The "Blues to Spa Worthy" and "Sunny and Glad" projects are both great examples of maximizing efficiency in busy bathroom spaces. I'm excited for the next project: the new kitchen! Thank you sincerely, Heidi



Our first visit was without any cost or obligation to (over two hours on December 1, 2014) when I measured and listened to her complaints about the builder and her concerns and hopes/plans for the areas including the desk, butlers pantry, shelf niches, built in bench, display shelves including a kennel space for the Italian miniature Greyhound dogs, the laundry room and back hallway doors.
Mr. Zaccaro was not willing and or able to participate in any of our meetings including the follow up design presentation at their home where I shared the initial concept plans for the spaces which represented about 24 hours of design time, again with no cost to the the Zaccaro's.
Mrs. Zaccaro was thrilled with the plans and said she'd discuss them with her husband, and soon after emailed that they wanted to proceed with the desk area first, agreeing to a design retainer of $600.00 to be applied to the purchase of cabinetry exceeding $5,000.00 within sixty days. I delivered color blocks and immediately emailed the preliminary plans and we scheduled a follow up meeting for a week later; I revised the plans and priced the job with specific door-style, wood specie and finish based on her requests. The desk plan featured a specialized purse drawer, printer pull-out, hanging file storage space and fancy turned feet in addition to open shelving at the wall cabinets. The custom option was exactly what she said she wanted however the quality and therefore price was beyond what Mrs. Zaccaro was willing to spend. It was at that point that I began the quest for less expensive options that would come close to the finish and style of the custom option. I sent a multitude of door options to give a wide variety of options enabling her to to personalize it to her liking in keeping with the style she had already created in her special home which resembles a castle. Once Mrs. Zaccaro shared that there were too many options for her I sent my specific recommendations. I had a local shop replicate the custom finish in a special distressed glaze in an effort to decrease the price without compromising layout details. At that point Mrs. Zaccaro shared she had a prior price (from over a year ago) that was less money so I went back to the drawing board and revised the plans again and priced in another manufacturer that offers fewer options and embellishment. One element that Mrs. Zaccaro was not willing to compromise on was the egg and dart molding that is not readily available in the wood finishes that are less costly. I purchased multiple door samples which were sent directly from vendors to Mrs. Zaccaro in an attempt to find the perfect shade to compliment her existing color palette.
In March Mrs. Zaccaro requested additional design work, indicating she wanted to go ahead with other areas previously discussed but still could not find the perfect color.
Between design revisions for the desk, conferences with the vendor regarding samples and pricing various options I spent about 38 hours on the desk area alone, which doesn't include any of the trips or meeting time in Mt. Pleasant. I was willing to devote the extra time (beyond the 14 hours covered in the initial $600 Design Retainer) because I was excited for the transformation to create a special place for the Zaccaro's. I don't typically sell designs which is why the plans that were provided to her indicate "not released for construction" and "this drawing is the exclusive property of Delicious Kitchens, LLC" they were not final and therefore not fully detailed or for the use of another cabinet maker.
In late May Mrs. Zaccaro said she did not feel I had provided any value: this is a situation I have not encountered in over 20 years in the kitchen business; my clients are delighted and I certainly wanted this for the Zaccaro's as well.








Thank you for your kind words... It has been such a treat to assist with your projects over the years. The cabinetry for the school accommodated the needs of staff and students in a safe, sterile yet fun atmosphere. The personal touches for your home reflected your style and yet is timeless and classic and still in fashion all these years later. Great design never goes out of vogue and your kitchens are testament to that.

I'm always respectful of the budget, whatever that is, and delight in savvy solutions. It's not necessary to spend mega-bucks to realize dramatic improvements, and your kitchen is proof of that. Replacing laminate counters with granite, new sink, faucet and fabulous back-splash was a real transformation. I know your kitchen is used frequently for hosting large groups and the hard-working materials you selected insure that it will be beautiful and functional for many years to come. Thank you for trusting me with your project, it was a great pleasure to assist.


Your kitchen is such a fun reflection of you and your family spirit; incorporating the love of beach treasures and vacation memories. It was a truly a real pleasure to enhance the space in ways beyond your wildest expectations. The infusion of vibrant color and durable materials will surely bring you joy for years to come. Thank you for your comments and I look forward to assisting with the office project.

What a treat to work on so many projects together over the years... first the kitchen then bathrooms and then the following year the bathrooms at the other property. NOW on to new adventures in another state, congratulations! I'm so excited to hear that your remodeled condo sold quickly...the new kitchen and bathrooms were fresh and treat for your buyers, nothing to do but buy groceries and shampoo!
Thank you your kind words and confidence with all of these projects, it has been my pleasure.
