I worked with Rosemary at Casa Verde
I can't rave enough about Rosemary Merrill Design! I have known Rosemary for five years, working under her leadership at Casa Verde Design, yet coveted her designs long before joining the firm.
Rosemary is a recognized leader in the design field and she's won numerous national and local design awards. All with good reason: she has raised the bar designing stunning spaces that are timeless and unique - but always functional. She is meticulous with details, bringing together unique cabinetry design, materials and lighting resulting in designs that stand apart from the rest. Clients are always thrilled with the results!
Clients not only appreciate her design, but they love and trust her. She has great integrity and always has their best interests in mind, listening to and guiding them in the process, has expert knowledge on products, and is mindful of their budgets and timelines.
You will be thrilled to work with Rosemary!

Like most people embarking on a home improvement or remodel project, I had done extensive research online about what I wanted from our new kitchen; looks, function, and an enduring design.
There are so many talented people out there that do design and kitchen work, choosing one person to turn your dream into reality can be overwhelming. After researching what it means to obtain a National Kitchen & Bath Association Certification (NKBA) I knew I could narrow the field considerably.
Having been a Realtor and sold luxury real estate in Seattle, Palm Springs and San Diego, I knew the value in hiring a talented designer before making a single purchase. I have seen too many horrible remodels, or ones that came close but missed the mark. I have also experienced enough stellar designs, ones that make you fall in love with the home, and kitchens and baths that stand out, but still speak to and respect the character and design of the house they “live” in. All of these homes have one thing in common, a great and talented designer. Rosemary Merrill is just such a designer.
Our decision to hire Rosemary to design our new kitchen put us on the right path for a successful project.
We interviewed several designers, but Rosemary’s experience, knowledge and ability to translate our ideas into design made her the clear choice. We fell in love with her kitchen designs, but once we had our first meeting she opened our eyes to rethinking our vision. She listened, took notes, and then explained her process. She is a wonderful communicator and a joy to spend time with. Our kitchen project had several unique challenges and she masterfully crafted a design that improved the useable space, is balanced and striking, and a pleasure to cook in.
We unequivocally recommend Rosemary for a kitchen, bath or any design project.

While employed at Casa Verde Design, I had the great privilege of working alongside Rosemary Merrill, AKBD. I was consistently impressed with her unique design sense, incredible eye for detail and ability to elegantly solve the most difficult design challenges. She is direct and confident in her choices and thoroughly pours over the details with spectacular results. Classic, timeless, creative, thoughtful and balanced. These are only a small handful of ways in which I would describe her work.
Rosemary is talented, professional, dedicated to her clients and to the quality of her work. She also has a great sense of humor which makes the design process incredibly fun. She has set a very high bar for all of us in this industry. I would recommend Rosemary Merrill Design without hesitation.

Rosemary was great and a pleasure to work with. I gave Rosemary a budget and aggressive completion date for my kitchen remodel. She met both. Rosemary asked questions and listened carefully about my goals and how I used my home. She showed me great design and utility options. I now have a much brighter, more efficient kitchen with terrific lighting, tile, countertops, sink and range. Friends immediately notice and compliment me on the renewed kitchen. The down side is that now we spend even more time there. I will definitely call on Rosemary for my next project.

We did a complete kitchen remodel in our 1940 Cape Cod home. Rosemary had been highly recommended to us. We had a very positive experience . She helped us articulate a vision for our kitchen as well as adjoining family room. Her creativity, design sense and attention to detail are remarkable. We also appreciated her team's support and responsiveness throughout the project and after. The result was a beautiful Cape Cod kitchen that is classic and timeless. We are happy to recommend Rosemary!

When we worked with Rosemary she was employed by a company.
Rosemary is a unique designer, especially in two areas: her talent as well as her ability to work with clients. We started out with a new kitchen and, well, as often happens with remodels, ended up not only with our lovely kitchen, but a fabulous master bath and lower level family room. That's how pleased we were with her taste, extensive knowledge of product, respect for budgets, and ability to help us identify our own style.
We are pleased to recommend Rosemary Merrill for your design needs.

Our small outdated bathroom used to be an example of the futile attempts by my husband and I to give it a "new" look. It always amounted to a fresh coat of paint and new towels. What we really needed was someone with vision and creativity and selected Rosemary Merrill Design. She worked with us to create a new design, helped select all the components, and followed through with every detail from start to finish. The final result was a modern, clean look with the feel of a spa. The small space was transformed into a bathroom that felt more spacious by utilizing color, light, and texture in a very creative design. Bonus! We were so happy when it won a bathroom design award and was featured in a magazine. Since creating our new bathroom, we've watched Rosemary Merrill go on to win numerous awards in her industry.

Our master bathroom presented us with several confounding problems and conflicting goals involving space, function, and style. Rosemary solved all three with cleverness, expertise, and terrific fashion sense.
She enlarged the space by removing a closet in the neighboring bedroom and crafted a uniquely shaped walk-in shower next to a beautiful vanity. Best of all, and this is Rosemary’s strength, she created a classic, timeless but current look that makes our guests envious.
Rosemary is such a consummate professional and we so much enjoyed working with her—friendly, explaining every detail of the design, and extending full acceptance of our choices for colors and tile—that we were a bit sad to have the project finished.
We are heralding Rosemary to our friends with much bigger projects because we know they can rely on Rosemary and are unlikely to be in better hands.

If you want a phenomenal designer who can do it all, Rosemary is it. She has great style and insights; knows about the latest, tasteful trends; and manages to be sophisticated and confident with everything she does and recommends. She designs spaces, homes and furniture. I hired her to design a kitchen in my north woods retreat. It's a show-stopper in every way. Hands down she will surpass all expectations. You'll love working with her too.

Her projects display a wonderful sense of style, a great attention to detail and she is a joy to work with because of her fun personality.
I would highly recommend Rosemary without reservation and I look forward to working with her in the future!
