Karen Pied ~ Kitchen Designer

Thanks to Karen and her colleagues at Tri State Kitchens, our new kitchen cabinets are a joy to see every morning now during breakfast. Karen used pictures from our old (green) kitchen layout and designed a new white kitchen layout that matched my wife's wishes in every way and form. Karen guided us in a very friendly and professional way through the many choices in cabinets, countertops, and hardware options available. My wife told me that she was very happy working with Karen because she never tried to up-sell or push an option on us. Karen revised our kitchen layout based on the actual measurements of our kitchen done by Tri State. Based on her final kitchen layout the cabinets were ordered, delivered and installed by Tri State Kitchens without any issues. Again, it was a pleasure to work with Karen and be able to call on her with all sorts of questions that arise when one starts a kitchen project. In short, my wife and I are very happy with what Karen and Tri State Kitchens have done for us. The same can't be said about our choice of plumber and the headaches he has caused (but that is another story).

Dealing with Karen was a pleasure. She is very patient and knowledgeable. Her designs were exactly what we had envisioned. She is very prompt with questions and has excellent design vision. We would recommend anyone to Karen with full confidence! Thank you so much!

Karen is amazing to deal with! She listens to what you want/need and responds very quickly! She helped design my entire kitchen, mudroom and bathrooms. She has amazing taste and great knowledge in design! I have had so many compliments on the design, colors and quality of the work she has done for us. Highly recommend working with Karen for any design/remodel of your home!

Karen has been such a pleasure to work with. She is very creative and knows how to pull together the style that your are trying to achieve. Her knowledge of the products and affordability exceeds other companies I have spoken with. I recommend her highly to achieve the gorgeous home you are creating! Outstanding job and so pleased, Mike and Rosie Cronin, Hampstead

Karen made the kitchen remodeling process easy and fun. She really understood how to maximize our space, and provided us with style suggestions that I never would have thought of. I am terrible with color choices, but Karen have great suggestions and helped me feel confident with my choices. Exactly what I needed! And she worked within our budget, the cost was exactly what she quoted.

Karen helped design two kitchens for us. She worked miracles in helping to design an outstanding layout in the small space of our tiny cottage. Most recently, she helped us design our dream kitchen in our new home, and it is the most outstanding space we've ever worked in at home. We recommend that Karen be your next kitchen designer.

Karen was engaging and listened to my ideas every step of the way...she even dealt with all of my last minute changes whether it was to my bathroom layout down to final color choice. She was always available to take my call or returned my call and emails in a timely matter. I found Karen knowledgable with the experience I needed to design my custom kitchens and baths. I would highly recommend her to help you plan your project. Our home was a new build with many details to consider. I was glad to have her working with me. The installer that works for Karen and the company is also fantastic. I needed to switch out our lift door above fridge to double doors and without question the company did this for us and sent out the installer who was very professional to do this switch. I would definitely use her again.!!

I worked with Karen and Tri-State Kitchens to remodel my kitchen after buying a new home. Karen and Tri-State were great! They were professional, courteous, and considerate. I went back and forth with Karen several times with deciding on fixtures, cabinets, colors, and to make sure that the price was within my budget. She was very pleasant, patient, and accommodating. Everything was well planned in advance so once the actual remodel started everything was smooth sailing and done in a timely manner. I highly recommend Karen and Tri-State kitchens! You will not regret it!

We finally decided to change our kitchen after 15 years. So we called a number of companies for estimates. Tri State Kitchens was the company we decided on based on the estimate and because we felt very comfortable working with Karen. She spent many hours educating us about cabinets, woods, thinking about our lifestyle when deciding on a layout and the type of cabinets we should purchase. This was even before we signed a contract. She gave honest opinions, even to the point of talking us out of some things we wanted. In the end, her advise was smart. I love our kitchen and would recommend Tri State Kitchens to any one looking for a great company. The few glitches we did encounter were dealt with immediately to our satisfaction.

Karen helped us do ver our kitchen and stay on budget. We are extremely pleased with the way our kitchen turned out and felt we got excellent value for the money spent.

Love Karen's work. She was extremely patient and made many changes along the way to the design to make me happy with my purchase. It took a long time (6 months) for me to find the time to finally go ahead with the project but when I did Karen took care of everything. I have the kitchen of my dreams!

I hired Karen to redesign two kitchens and four bathrooms. Her understanding of my space and budget was immediate and she was able to quickly put together a design that met all of my criteria which required minimal revision. I was working with two very different styles in both the kitchens kitchens and baths and Karen was able to apply a unique, tasteful eye for each. Not only was I thrilled with the designs and end product, all of those who visit my home ask who I used to design my kitchen's and baths. I would consider myself extremely particular (some would say picky) and Karen worked great with that. Whenever I began to stray into different directions either from a budget perspective or design choices that didn't make sense she was able to reel me back in. Redesigning a home is an extremely stressful undertaking and Karen made everything easy and took nearly all the stress out of it. Karen was recommended to me by a relative who has used her services in the past. Since then I have recommended Karen's services to several others. Karen was personable, professional and responsive throughout my entire project. I will certainly use Karen in the future when I need to redesign a kitchen, bath or any other space that requires counters, cabinets or other fixtures.
