Home Additions in Manchester

“Pamela was a tremendous help in our renovation of two bathrooms. She listened to what we told her about what we wanted and how much we were able to spend. She paid attention to our style and color preferences, and made excellent suggestions. Her knowledge of products and materials was extremely helpful in making decisions. She was accessible, and always made time for us, even coming to our home to look at the bathrooms, and was always so pleasant to work with. We're very happy with the results, and will work with Pamela on future projects.”

“Design 1 helped design my kitchen, I couldn’t be happier with the process or the results! Mike was great at integrating some functional features into a limited space and on a limited budget as Kaytlyn helped coordinate finishes and balance select high end touches to get me a kitchen that surpassed my expectations while maintaining my budget.”

“My husband is very handy so we knew he could do the work. Problem was we didn’t have a design plan. I decided to call a professional. From the initial phone call, I felt I could work with Becky. She asked lots of pertinent questions, and I scheduled a home consultation. The project was a living room in a 30 year old house which hadn’t been redecorated in 20 years. We have views of a lake, so a nautical theme seemed natural. After much discussion, Becky suggested a “nautical shabby chic decor” complete with chandelier and seashells. She mentioned several architectural changes, such as taking down a 3/4 high wall near the stairs and installing a horizontal window over the fireplace. Just these 2 ideas added much-needed light into the room. We added white faux beams to the ceiling, a warm ash hardwood floor, and gorgeous grey walls (not a color I would have considered until I saw her picture board). What I especially liked was that she also helped me choose some wonderful, inexpensive accent pieces - a 4 foot sailboat on a shelf over our piano, cut glass lamps to enhance the chandelier, and a beautiful golden rug. These were found in consignment stores! We found Becky easy to talk to and she had out-of-the-box ideas! She listened to what we told her. She is an excellent communicator, and doesn’t try to talk you into something you are not comfortable with. Becky was reliable and when she says she will call you, she does. We would definitely recommend her to anyone who is thinking about a design plan. The outcome is a stunning room that we will be able to enjoy for years to come!”

“Kitchen design and project management. Exquisite Taste. My home is over 100 years old and Dawn came up with a design that incorporated the charm of the old (mud room, butler pantry lots of little spaces) with appropriate modern details a total professional through out the project. Completely thrilled!!”

“We hired Emily's Interiors for our kitchen and bathroom re-design. Our house was built in the 1920's by my great grandfather, so even though we were completely redesigning the space, we wanted to honor the original Craftsman-style feel but with a modern upgrade! Emily's interiors was great at helping us focus on styles that were both what we were looking for and fit in our budget! A year and a half later, and we still couldn't be happier with our new spaces.”

“I worked with Ben Becker at BLB Custom Builders on the construction of a 5,000 square- foot insulated concrete form (ICF) house with solar panels in Byfield, MA. The house is beautiful.”

“Great designer. Her Ideas add unique character to kitchens and baths! She has been known to go above and beyond for her clients. Highly recommended!”

“I worked with Diane in a professional capacity. I have listed two houses where she was responsible for the design work. Diane has a great eye. she incorporates simple and often inexpensive touches in the larger work. I have used some of Diane’s ideas myself when staging houses that I put on the market. I highly recommend Diane Burcz as a designer.”

“We hired Maria to re-design our master bathroom, laundry room, and master closet in the spring of 2007. She provided excellent written documentation of the scope of the project, detailed graphics of the proposed project and accompanied me to sale rooms to choose the various components of her design. She was able to design an excellent option for our laundry room to allow for the inclusion of a new utility sink and a folding area with wall cabinet above (using a hinged counter top and magnetic cleat). Initially she proposed using a general contractor that was not licensed in MA so we chose own contractor but she was able to work well with him in executing the design. Overall, a great job.”

“Kathy is the best! She is so easy to work with and is a true "kitchen resource". Her knowledge and experience can"t be matched! She is able to not only order the cabinets you need but will also direct you in electrical, structural, counters and plumbing needs. She was always willing to call me and my husband with any questions we had, and was always willing to travel to our house if needed! (over an hour away) Her product is amazing. The cabinet quality, color and various sizes and custom touches created true custom kitchen. While at the same time, Kathy herself remained very respectful of trying to work within our budget. It was truly a pleasurable experience to have worked with Kathy”
