We thoroughly enjoyed working with Margaret and would absolutely recommend her to anyone doing a house/kitchen/bathroom remodel or renovation. She has been doing this for many years and is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We had the most difficulty deciding on our kitchen layout and finally after many weeks of not being able to come up with something we liked on our own, we decided it was time to hire a professional. Enter Margaret. She came highly recommended by our draftsman. She was very professional and knowledgeable and in just the first two visits with her, we had our kitchen layout finalized. That felt great! We wish we would have hired her weeks prior as that would have decreased our stress level. Margaret was not only helpful to us in helping us finalize our kitchen layout, she also gave us other great tips (many of which we would never have thought of on our own) .... cabinet/drawer placement, pantry tips, tile/countertop recommendations, etc. We highly recommend Margaret and will not hesitant to work with her in the future!

Marge took the builders plans for our mountain home kitchen and transformed it into a much more functional and beautiful space. She knew exactly what appliances would fit where and added visual interest to the boring cabinets. She got a lot accomplished in a short amount of time and we look forward to working with her again in the future.

Marge helped us create two beautiful kitchen spaces - one interior and an outdoor kitchen. She was able to listen to what we needed, work within existing site and space constraints and drew two beautiful and very functional spaces. The interior kitchen is one of a kind and the outdoor kitchen looks as though it has always been there - it is so well integrated with the existing architecture. I highly recommend her!

We were fortunate to work with Marge twice. She did an incredible job designing our new kitchen in 2012, which we adore. She had a tough timeline as we needed it completed in record time, prior to our daughter's wedding. She came through on her commitments and our guests were welcomed in our beautiful new kitchen.
We hired her again in 2013 for our bathrooms and laundry room and again, she exceeded our expectation with the design and quality of the cabinetry. My husband and I would recommend her highly, she listens and she has a great eye for style and detail. She is a true professional.

Commented: Countertop overhangCode says that you have to have an outlet every 4 feet. I prefer horizontal outlets and lower to the counter top. Thanks for you question.

Commented: Where did you buy these Bar Chairs?These were owner supplied bar stools. I believe they came from Roche Bobois about 5 years ago. These are very comfortable and great looking bar stools. Hope this helps in your search.

Commented: Island cabinet colorIsn't the island a great color? It is a proprietary finish from Rutt Cabinetry called "Stone Washed Denim". This finish includes glaze, rub through, and distressing. Hope this helps.
