Inplace Studio

I can’t recommend Inplace enough. The design, the process, the completion....it all went extremely well and as scheduled. There were NO surprises other than COVID. And that didn’t even impact the project!! If I had to do it all over again I would stick with Inplace and their expertise. They made the whole project seem very easy!!

We were very impressed with InPlace's deign of our kitchen-greatroom project. Alison listened carefully to our guidelines and preferences and then incorporated them into a design that fully embraced our tastes. Importantly, she directed us to remarkable contractors and vendors, a group we could never have found on our own. The finished project is fantastic.

Amazing!! Extremely knowledgeable about their product as well as appliances, lighting and plumbing. Husband and wife team Alison and Andy! Alison handles design Andy handles install. Both are perfectionist !! My wife and I️ could not be happier with our new kitchen. They worked with my contractor to make sure all aspects of the kitchen, appliances, lighting, and plumbing were done seamlessly! If it wasn’t for InPlace there is no way our kitchen would be what it is!!

Alison and her team were truly superior and we would highly recommend both their design and installation services. Alison effectively listened to us to understand what elements we wanted in our new kitchen and then guided us with spot-on design advice based on that understanding. From the tiniest details to the big picture, the results were spectacular. We now have a new kitchen that fits seamlessly with our house's environment and gives us a high every time we look at it!

Our company, Rancho Santa Fe Craftsman, worked with Inplace on a kitchen remodel in Carmel Valley. As a general contractor, we require the highest level of precision in our cabinet materials and installation. We found Allison and Andy at Inplace easy to work with because they clearly understood the level of quality we were looking for. Their design and execution more than met the mark. They took the time and made the effort to complete the project beautifully and fine tune all the details. We sincerely appreciated their professionalism and skill in delivering what we require and our client wanted. Allison created a fantastic design, while Andy provided expert cabinet production and installation.

Working with the team at Inplace Studio has given me insight to how dedicated they are to excellence. As an Interior Design Photographer the details are very revealing and with Inplace I have no qualms in getting real close to highlight the fine craftsmanship I have seen in every project I do for them. They work hard to earn every 5-star rating they receive.

Working with InPlace has been a pleasure and great experience. As a general contractor, we at Grunow Construction rely on professionalism, accuracy and quality in design to direct us in the implementation of a project. Under the direction of Alison Dorvillier at Inplace Studio, these essential characteristics are consistently provided with exquisite product, clear direction and impeccable design.

I worked with Alison who did a fabulous job on customizing the standard cabinets to fit perfectly. Her husband created the cabinets himself. He has the ability to tailor them to any space and did a spectacular job on this particular project. Our drawings were extremely detailed and he was able to accommodate the design as well as the clients budget. They had the patience to work with meticulous designers such as myself to create a comfortable space for the homeowner, that fulfilled and exceeded all of my expectations.

As an Interior Designer for over 25 years I have worked with many Vendors. InPlace was especially spot on with their delivery timeline and quality of cabinetry in the last kitchen remodel that I hired them to do. They were always very responsive to any changes and questions that came up with respect to design, and considerate in directing all questions through me and not my client. I appreciated that very much and will be utilizing them again for my next project, a master bath remodel

We bought a house that needed every surface updated. Inplace studio designed everything, not just the kitchen and bathrooms, although that is where they really shine. They seemed expensive at first, but ended up being worth every single penny. They are the definition of value for $ spent. Our interior contractor had some real weaknesses with respect to organization and efficiency, and Inplace Studio became our back up project manager, making sure they were taking into consideration lead times, scheduling deliveries, and checking on the quality of things being done. They were readily available, respond quickly to emails/texts and very professional and experienced with respect to all things interior. This project would have been a disaster without them.

Working with Inplace Studio has been a great experience from beginning to end. Alison came out to our condo in La Jolla and had a 3D rendered design prepared for our kitchen very quickly. Alison, Andy and Nicole looked at every single detail to make sure the design would work with our wants and wishes and also the space we had to work with. The end result is gorgeous and we couldn’t be happier with our SieMatic kitchen. Not only did Inplace help with our kitchen but also our bathrooms, appliances, hardware, lighting and paint. Kelly made sure all items came in a timely manner and kept on top of deliveries and the contractor. Andy and Brad did an exceptional job with the installation and we are extremely pleased with the outcome and looking forward to having Inplace renovate our other home as well. We highly recommend Inplace Studio for your kitchen bathroom and interior design needs. We cannot wait for our second SieMatic kitchen next year!

Can not be more happy with the work of Inplace! Great professionalism. They try to help you the best they can to stay in your budget. The designer Ed Brown is full of good ideas! Wonderful job!
