Kitchen & Bathroom Designers in Cañada de los Alamos

“We had our 1972 bathrooms brought up to date by Diane and her crew. Although both are tiny by today's standards, she managed to suggest design tweaks that visually enlarged each little space, and kept to our very modest budget with no problem, and on time. This, despite a motorcycle accident to one worker, and the wrong sink sent, resulting in a little wait. We went from poky, conventional, faux French to sleek, modern, and individual; it still looks fresh and up to date, after 8 years. Diane was very easy and pleasant to work with, always incorporating my ideas and wishes whenever practical. She nixed the idea of bronze fixtures, because our water is notoriously hard, and they would turn white with use. Her expertise and experience was invaluable. In the master bath, the sink is situated in a short corridor leading to the toilet and shower; she matched the cabinet to the dark oak of our antique furniture, for continuity, and kept the tiles, flooring and fixtures all one light hue - again, for continuity from the beige carpeting in the bedroom, visually enlarging the space. In the other bath, she suggested a sink cabinet that floats 6 or 7 inches off the floor, so that the eye isn't stopped, but continues to the back wall. I fell in love with the iridescence of Antique Labrador granite, but neither the budget nor the space would support a lot of this dark stone. Diane used it in a band, framing the mirror and sink, with a matching band around the tub/shower, topping off the almond-hued tiles. A collection of decorative, antique family photos, from the early 1900's, was hung in matching frames, and that added a very personal touch. We had fun with the pulls, and used the same style cabinetry in both baths. That kept the budget happy, and lent a subtle, visual continuity throughout the whole town house. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars, is our budget, which didn't allow for everything I would have liked. Besides, perfection is humanly impossible. We couldn't be more pleased with the work of Diane and Kitchen Studio. When I win the lottery, I will ask her to redo the kitchen!”

“Juniper Ridge was hired for the design and finish of our basement bar and family room. The design work was very thoughtful, detail and time was given to the manner in which the space is to be used as well as the visual and creative look. The supervision of the work reflects the same detail, measurements were presice, and attention to the finish was also exceptional. I would hire Juniper Ridge again.”

“Elizabeth helped us create artwork in the kirchen! We needed lots of guidance and feedback, and that's what we got. We tore down walls, got new floors and cabinets, new counters, and great finishes! Under her watchful eyes, we new we didn't have much to worry about in making our kitchen dream a reality. And the value we got for the end product can't be beat! We highly recommend Design Diva to anyone who asks!”
