We are customizing the driftwood leg to go under the innovative round table that you integrated into our island. Our flooring is in and touch up paint is being applied to walls.
We had some friends over the other night and they were WOWED by the kitchen. They absolutely love the color of the cabinets and all the different shapes, sizes and functionality of the cabinets. Everyone especially loves the pull out spice racks! I am so glad we found you. We are thoroughly enjoying our kitchen. Thank you for sharing your talents in our home.
Heidi from Delicious kitchens is so knowledgeable about her products. She listens to your ideas and is super wonderful to work with. Let her make your kitchen truly "DELICIOUS"!

Heidi not only came into a unique situation with my builder but did so as a the quintessential professional. She helped me design the ultimate beautiful, functional kitchen which I love. She also helped me pick out all of my wall colors with this unique knack of knowing the look I was trying to achieve when I could not necessarily verbalize it. She had great ideas and suggestions which I took advantage of to make my space that much more enjoyable. All this was done beating deadlines and with beyond compare customer care. You cannot ask for more!

Heidi not only did a complete make-over on our kitchen, but designed a beautiful library from a blank slate and created an office that is not only functional, but lovely to look at. She was awesome to work with and we would recommend her for whatever project you are wanting to do in your home.

We had a wonderful experience working with Heidi to create a tiny kitchen in a seasonal 1950s cabin. The space was small, but Heidi worked with us to include all the storage and functionality we could have wanted, with tons of style. She was attentive to our budget, and offered suggestions to ensure that we spent money in the places it would matter most. We found her to be highly responsive and professional, and we appreciated her insight and experience, especially given the challenges of working in such a small space. We are thrilled with the quality and value we received, and we were particularly pleased that Heidi was able to accommodate our preference for local cabinet and counter makers. Thank you, Heidi!

Dear Anne,
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.

What an ANGEL!! We depended on Heidi %100. She created a complete and beautiful kitchen for us, one beyond our imagination. Before we hired Heidi, we were beyond confused with how we were going to create our new cooking space. Heidi reeled us in and kept us focused, finding our likes and keeping us on track. The result is a GORGEOUS, affordable kitchen that has upgraded our cooking lives! God bless Heidi and Delicious Kitchens!!!!

Comment from Delicious Kitchens & Interiors, LLC:
This project was a delight for me, you were receptive to fresh ideas for your not-so-huge space that you and your husband cook in daily. The demands on this space for storage and counter to accommodate your unique needs meant that function was paramount, and the aesthetic had to come after that. We were able to incorporate some subtle sparkle in the hard-working space that I know you are loving, thank you for inviting me into your home and allowing me to transform an ugly duckling into a swan.

From the beginning of our bathroom renovation project to the end, we were very clear and consistent about our maximum budget and our primary motivation for the renovation (ease of cleaning). The first set of plans Heidi provided did not match either criterion (though we didn’t learn that it would exceed our budget until we received our labor estimate from the contractor). The second set of plans addressed our concerns with keeping the shower to a manageable size but—as we later learned once we got the labor estimate—was not feasible with our budget. It would have been preferable to let us know before signing the contract that it was not actually possible to change the layout of the bathroom within our budget, and that we would be better off just finding someone to help us choose materials.
The issue of choosing materials was where we were hoping for the most help, as we indicated in our first meeting with Heidi. We had to make multiple requests for assistance, several queries went unanswered, and many of the products Heidi recommended and/or approved turned out to be incompatible with each other or with the bathroom setup Fortunately, we were able to make returns on the incompatible materials, but not without a lot of hassle. We ended up spending many hours on the project that we had hoped to avoid spending by hiring a professional. Heidi did lead us to a competent contractor, but that's about all we got for our money.

Dear Carissa,
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.

POST AND BEAM HOMEOWNERS DREAM...
I bring forth such high praise for the vision, skill, creativity, and design aesthetic that Heidi brought to our project! From the first meeting to discuss the vision for our home, Heidi "got" the vibe we were after, and set forth concepts, materials, products and designs that fulfilled every aspect of the vision we had for our home! Heidi's communication skills are such an important piece of bringing life to ideas, and in fact assisting the client in traveling the road from concept to reality! Further, the ideas that I brought to Heidi were always integrated into the project, and enhanced by her skill set as we worked together to create such an amazing living space! It's so critical to click with the person bringing a concept to life, and I can say unequivocally Heidi listens with thoughtfulness, enthusiasm and attention to detail, then brings forth stunning results! Highly recommend Heidi for ANY and ALL aspects of interior design!

Paula, Thank you sincerely for your kind words, I'm blushing! It's always a delight to assist clients who are inspired to create the space that is truly "their" dream and not just a re-iteration of a someone else's lovely but predictable space. Your home is exactly that, a reflection of your dream and vision realized. The custom and personalized touches that infuse the house with charm add character and warmth to all of the spaces. Rich natural materials and artisan-crafted elements are combined with great attention to detail and stunning result. It was a pleasure to work with you and I hope you'll love your home for years to come!

Heidi was wonderful to work with in every way. She had wonderful ideas and knew just how to realize them. She led us through every step of this project and made us feel like we were her only client. The results were more beautiful and functional than we expected. Many times I just stand in the rooms and admire them.
We would highly recommend her without reservation to anyone!

I used Delicious Kitchens long distance through phone calls and emails. Heidi understood exactly what I wanted and provided me renderings that the contractor thought were very professional. My kitchen and bathrooms turned out the way I wanted and this was the easiest part of my renovations. I was very pleased. I highly recommend Heidi.

Heidi's vast experience and knowledge in kitchen design made our project easy and fun! She analyzed our space and listened carefully to my wants and needs. She then provided us with exceptionally clear and detailed drawings which laid out every square inch of our new kitchen to maximum efficiency. I am so pleased with our new kitchen and am so thankful to have found Heidi to guide us through the project. She is a pro!!

Heidi was a pleasure to work with. She always kept her appointments, listened well, and was incredibly receptive to client wishes. She was always positive and helpful and willing to go the extra mile to make sure we were satisfied. I never felt that Heidi was counting her hours, and she obviously has a passion for her work. She was a trusted colleague who provided consistent support, and who fielded my endless questions, calls, and emails. She was also a terrific ally who supported me when contractor-initiated errors were made. I was very pleased with the final design choices, which was a blend of my own style, as well as incorporation of key elements that I would not have considered. Heidi also helped ensure that we maximized the functionality of the renovated spaces. I would definitely torture her again!

Transforming spaces like yours give me great pleasure and I look forward to another project! The spa-like setting we created in the master bathroom hopefully will allow much relaxation and ease the pain of living through the lengthy construction throughout the house, including the kitchen, which was disruptive to be sure. I hope you'll enjoy the "new" spaces for many years and thank you for trusting me with your ideas to create your (for now) dream home.
