NOTION, LLC

This is our second experience with a kitchen renovation with Notion. We first met Natalia over ten years ago when she designed a kitchen in our previous home. That result was so spectacular that it was featured in a local magazine. We recently moved to a carriage home that had a very dated kitchen and once again found our way to Natalia. We are snowbirds, and our project was completed while we were in Florida. It was truly reassuring leaving our kitchen in her hands and in the hands of her long term talented crew. Natalia had spent with a large amount of time and effort with us in the planning and design process prior to our departure. She and the crew kept us nicely updated as they smoothly worked along. When we returned, we were more than delighted with the final result. The design has worked out perfectly, and the workmanship was top-notch. We hope to never be doing another kitchen renovation, but, if we would ever find ourselves in that situation, there would be nowhere else we would go except to Natalia.

Natalia and her employees presented themselves with the utmost professionalism. From the onset of our initial meeting through the finalization of the project, everyone involved were knowledgeable in their specific trade skills, and creative with ideas and input. They were efficient and helpful with any questions we had. Natalia was always available via phone or just stopping over during the job to check the progress. The finished project turned out beautifully! We couldn't be more pleased and would highly recommend her for any home projects you're considering.

We have had the wonderful opportunity to work with Notion LLC for nearly 15 years and all projects have been a great success. From custom build residential houses to smaller renovations, we have seen Notion LLC thrive on all project types. Natalia’s eye for creativity and strong determination allows for the projects to come to life. Her ability to listen to the client and then communicate the goals with the contractor are wonderful. Through communication, determination, and strong listening skills, all projects that we have worked on together have been a true success. We highly recommend Notion, LLC!

We worked with Natalia on our kitchen remodel. She was incredible to work with from beginning to end and guided us all along the way. She was able to take our very broad ideas and turn them into a design that not only looks amazing, but is also very functional. She has a really good eye for detail and coordinated with her contractor to make sure everything was perfect. The whole process was smooth from start to finish and we would definitely hire her again if we have another project.

I’ve worked with Notion professionally for over 15 years on small projects, large projects and every thing in between. The attention to detail is outstanding! The journey from vision to reality is much easier when you’ve got someone that understands personal appeal and lifestyle decisions. Tasks are completed in a timely manner. Communication with other project coordinators is top notch. End results are breathtaking!

We have been working with Natalia since 2018. She has helped us remodel our kitchen, family room, dining room, powder bathroom, master bathroom, and our kids bathrooms. She does amazing work! We have been thrilled with all of her modern ideas and love how everything looks after the renovation is complete. We would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a designer to change up their living space.

It was such a pleasure to work with Natalia to totally renovate our 30-year old master bathroom. She is a very talented designer and her attention to detail, along with her always listening to the customer's needs, wishes, and style are second to none. Our finished master bath project is amazing and just what we were looking for. We are already speaking with Natalia about additional projects for our home.

Natalia was a pleasure to work with and worked seamlessly with our contractor. I would definitely recommend her for any size project. Natalia can look at something and her ability to visualize what we wanted was so comforting during the stress of building. We gained a new friend through this process and she continues to help any time we need her!

I found Natalia at Notion on Houzz and scheduled a meeting after reading good reviews. We had our 1999 master bath redone this year, and we love it. She is no pretense and good at what she does. She was easy to work with, understood the concept of what we wanted and presented us with a few choices so we wouldn’t get overwhelmed. She does not do cookie cutter designs. Each job is a new opportunity for her to shine. The construction done by her contractor Seth was amazing. Best remodel we’ve experienced. We were cost conscious and she was able to keep our wallpaper and vanity but make it look like it was part of the new design. Don’t hesitate to call her. You’ll like her. Oh, and she’s honest too. We gave her the keys to our house.

Amazing experience from start to finish! We could not have built our house without her.......kitchen, butlers pantry, bathrooms , bars, and mud room! She has a true talent and is a blessing to work with. We have never had a more pleasant experience

Natalia was such a pleasure to work with! She gave our family our dream kitchen. I had a vision of what I wanted and she brought it to life and made it even better than I imagined. Her contractors were also a joy to work with, everyone was so professional and stayed on deadline. She only works with the best of the best professionals. We formed a great relationship with Natalia and will remain in contact for future projects. Wouldn't trust anyone else, highly recommend!

We worked with Natalia and Notion, LLC on our home kitchen project. The project included complete removal and new installation. Natalia took the time to work with us on how we use our kitchen to make it as efficient as possible. Not only does the style of the kitchen fit with the rest of the house, it still includes the "wow" factor. Natalia is extremely knowledgeable and detail-oriented about kitchen design and function. She is able to guide you on what is needed and what is unnecessary. We love our gorgeous new kitchen!

We were incredibly pleased to work with Natalia/Notions! She has such an eye for detail and design, my kitchen is absolutely stunning!!

Natalia has been a dream come true for us as we embark on our total home renovation. From the moment we met I knew she was what we were looking for to bring our home together. Her eye for design, her practicality, and her flexibility have made our project come to life. She has helped to bring the entire vision together designing areas conducive to our life with small kids but still Wanting a sophostocated space. Looking forward to phase 2!

Our builder highly recommended Natalia from Notions Design LLC. After a few minutes she was able to fully understand our design intent what we wanted to do with a ground up new build weekend Lake House and how we wanted our retreat to look. She was easy to work with, very flexible, brought many new ideas to the table (many that our base architect overlooked) and really got the big picture! Natalia worked hand in hand with our builder to explain her concepts and clearly define her design expectations; this eliminated any builder change orders and maintained a very friendly project environment. She was very creative and really listened to us; we had a wonderful time designing and decorating our Lake House. She has been a tremendous design professional and true asset to have on our team for our project. Although, we live in Northern Virginia, our project is in Deep Creek Lake, Maryland and she lives in Pittsburgh, PA our remote locations were not an issue to coordinate and get this project to a timely completion. We highly recommend Natalia and we will certainly do other projects with her in the future.

I have worked with Notions (Natalia) on several different projects in our house. Master bedroom/bathroom, laundry room, and two bathrooms. Natalia throughout the process has been very professional and perceptive to our needs. Her designs are unique as well as classic. She is very knowledgeable about each aspect of the design, whether it be tile or light fixtures or flooring or anything else involved with the project. We look forward to working with Notions and Natalia again.

Natalia was a pleasure to work with. We gave her a unique and challenging space and she transformed it into a truly spectacular master suite, laundry room and office. Her eye for design and detail are remarkable. We were truly pleased every step of the way. We initially hired her to just design the spaces but then had her manage the project and contractors as well. She was very professional and easy to work with throughout the project. We had already had our contractors picked out and she was very willing to work with them and adapt to their style and work habits. She communicated directly with the contractors to be sure everything was going smoothly and was able to quickly find us a new and very talented tile person when ours was unable to do the job. We would highly recommend her for any remodeling project. Our kitchen was remodeled 5 years ago and I am trying to convince my husband that it needs to be redone just so I can have another one of her creations!

Natalia with Notion Design LLC was fantastic to work with. As a General Contractor in Columbia SC I have worked with a number of local designers and I can tell you from experience that Natalia is one of the best. When my clients suggested they wanted to work with a designer that was over 500 miles away, I thought to myself, this will never work. Not only was I proven wrong, but their project turned out fantastic. Natalia’s designs were clear and precise. If we had questions she always took our calls right away or responded quickly. We had a number facetime calls, text messages, & pictures explaining designs even after hours. Natalia is a true professional in her field and I would have no problems recommending her personally.

Natalia is fantastic to work for. Honest, fair and smart; she brings a unique and experienced perspective to her projects. Her attention to detail and passion for design makes my work look great.

When I was in the beginning stages of designing my new salon, I needed some major help with the design aspect. I met with Natalia of Notion, and together, we came up with a design that encompassed both fashion and function. From the live edge wood countertops at the reception desk and salon bar/wine area, to the intricate herringbone tiled floor, and the lighting, she really hit the nail on the head. It truly is a beautiful space that accommodates the needs of the stylist and the guests that we serve. It is unlike any other salon in our area. We even have people stopping by the salon just to admire the design! Natalia was wonderful during the entire process, keeping with deadlines and making sure contractors adhered to our strict time schedule. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing design services, as she is an extremely talented professional who will ensure that your vision will become a beautiful reality.

My 2nd floor hall bathroom really needed to be renovated. I was going on houzz for years looking at photos and dreaming of a beautiful new bathroom. I found Natalia (Notion) on houzz and scheduled a meeting with her. I liked her from the start and felt she would be someone I could work with. I was really nervous about doing this project because I never had any major renovation done inside in my 30 year old home but I needed to get started sometime. After sending Natalia a dozen or more photos (most from houzz) -- and a few meetings our project started on schedule. Seth (her remodeling specialist) did the actual renovation of the bathroom. He was very professional and was careful about my home. He kept the area that was being renovated clean and separate from the rest of my home. Seth's attitude, work ethics and project understanding was exceptional. Natalia was at my house almost everyday checking on things. She was also always available by phone if I had an questions or concerns. I am so happy with the results. Next fall we hope to have Notion renovated our master bathroom and dressing area. Can't wait to get started!!!

We hired Natalia Dragunova from Notion Design after interviewing five or six other kitchen designers over the course of three years. Natalia was a winner from the minute that we met her. We found her design company after searching Pittsburgh kitchen designers on the web. We particularly liked what we saw on her website as nothing was a cookie cutter kitchen design. Something that none of the other kitchen designers seem to offer to us. She listened to our needs and desires and guided us through out the entire process. She is truly a designer with a vast amount of knowledge and creativity and patience. Our kitchen turned out to be more than a stunning and functional kitchen....it is a dream kitchen. We entertain frequently and the flow of our kitchen has improved immensely. We can now entertain and cook with a crowd in the kitchen. We cannot say enough about the renovation process. We were prepared for the worst after hearing about nightmare renovations from friends who hired other designers. Our renovation was flawless. Even with the kitchen gutted and wood floors removed we were unable to cook for only three days. Her contractor, Seth, was a delight to have in our home. He was so dependable, a true professional and he is unbelievably talented. Seth, was not only a craftsman but very knowledgeable about design as well. He and Natalia are a fabulous team. The timing of all of the outside vendors was impeccable, always on time or early. We were very pleased with all of the companies that were involved in the process. We do not have enough superlatives to describe our time with Natalia. She is an amazing designer and we cannot wait for our next project together.

We hired Natalia from Notions to renovate our master bathroom, powder room and bar area. I interviewed several designers but it was clear that Natalia stood head and shoulders above the rest. Not only were her design ideas superb and unique, she is extremely pleasant to deal with. She was respectful of our ideas while opening our eyes up to things we had not even considered. The project went extremely well and she was there to oversee everything. She was a joy to work with and our minds were set at ease as we knew she would take care of the unexpected, which of course she did. She was worth every penny of what we paid her for her services and we are eagerly looking for other projects to do with her. We highly recommend Natalia - you will not regret calling her.

We have hired Notion twice: first for a long planned kitchen remodel and second for an unexpected bathroom remodel. We loved both and highly recommend Notion and Natalia regardless of the scope of your project. Specifically, we hired Notion to do a gut remodel of our kitchen in 2011, after seeing the great work they did on our neighbor's kitchen. The job included taking down a wall to create an open first floor. Natalia and her crew did a fantastic job. The work was incredibly well done. Every commitment they made, they fulfilled, on time and for the price promised. Among many other things, Natalia designed a custom backsplash, which used just enough glass tile to be contemporary, but not so much as to be dated. Her design provided the look we wanted, while maximizing our budget. We absolutely love the result. We were so happy with the work that we asked her to do the remodel of our main bath six months ago. This project was unexpected, since it followed a flood. Although this was a smaller project, with a substantially smaller budget and hardly any lead time, Natalia and her crew brought the same level of professionalism and creativity. We love this work as well. We highly recommend Notion and Natalia.

Natalia is a pleasure to work with. While she is creative and full of ideas, she is respectful of the clients preferences. She and her team guided me artfully through my kitchen remodel with minimal construction disruption or unnecessary stress. Natalia expertly lead me to unique style and function solutions. I could't be happier with the end result!

Natalia of Notion, LLC designed and renovated our kitchen and master bath in 2011. The results are spectacular. My wife and I are very satisfied with the work. Natalia is easy to work with and guides the homeowner through all the stages from conception to final installation with confidence and professionalism. The work was completed on time. Each day the crew would clean up before leaving to make the work phase as stress free as possible. Natalia was very concerned after the job was complete that we were satisfied and came back to fix any small problems that appeared. We highly recommend Notion, LLC.

NatAlia is more than a designer She's an artist, and a craftsman. She's able to take a concept and by utilizing the subcontractors like colors in a palette, She paints the picture in her mind. Natalia is a wonderful person, I've seen her pal around with electricians as well as billionaires always comfortable, always confident. NatAlia brings something intangible to projects sort of creative spirit, that is a consistent vein through all of her work. I'd more than recommend her for a project, I'd advise that you are really missing out on an opportunity by not working with her. I've worked with Natalia now on no less than six projects. Including the hunting cabin at Nemicolon

Notion did my kitchen. Natalia and I picked everything together, and she personally worked to oversee the crew daily. We stayed on budget and my kitchen is the centerpiece of the house and the perfect Italian girls kitchen I wanted. Start to finish, done in four weeks, with minimal disruption to my active family. Hoping we do my main bath/basement this spring!
