Pantry Designers in Tolland County

“This is not a typical review, but our association is unique and I trust that yours would be the same if you were to select Irene Design as your consultant. We met Irene at a home show. We had been thinking about remodeling the interior of our home, but wanted a design consultant to work with us. We contracted with Irene Design to be our consultant. During the first visit to our home to take pictures and discuss with us, what we liked and disliked, I pointed out to her that the carrying partition on the first flow did not run parallel to the outside wall. Thus, any pattern in the flooring would also appear to diverge from the wall. Irene, immediately suggested that the tiles be installed at a 45 degree angle, which totally eliminated the problem. We then continued to work with Irene on the layout of the bathrooms, the wallpaper selection and the carpeting to mention only a small portions of the interactions we had with her in arriving at a design that met our needs and tastes. We had differences with Irene, but in each case Irene was always open to our suggestions. We would sit and discuss the pros and cons of each change and were always able to arrive at a decision that best met our needs. Once, we had finalized the design, we prepared a bid specification setting out exactly what we expected the contractor to do and what we would supply. This bid specification was given to 4 separate contractors including Irene Design. It should be noted that Irene had assured us that she would work with whichever contractor we selected to assure us that the design, such as the tile layouts in the bathrooms would be done as she had planned. While all four contractor bids were fairly close, Irene Designs bid was slightly less, so we selected them to perform the construction. At the same time we had also contracted with an electrician and a painter/wallpaper hanger. The electrician did an excellent job, however the painter made some serious errors in prepping the stair case walls for papering. After several attempts by the paper hanger to repair the problems, it became evident that all the paper in the stair case would have to be remove, the wall repaired and primed correctly and then repaper the whole area. Irene Design, on learning of this said that they would do the repair work at cost to help us out of this difficult situation. For these reasons, we highly recommend Irene Design if you are considering a remodeling project. If you would like to discuss our experience with Irene Design, we would welcome your calls”

“Working with Erica and Showcase Kitchen when remodeling my kitchen was a great experience. She was on mark with every detail. The family owned business was friendly and personable on each and every visit. It has been nearly three years since my kitchen has been done and it still is my favorite room in the house. I loved what they did so much, that this year I hired them for my bathroom and my closet. The level of attention and costumer service was worth every penny and I would recommend them for any home build or remodel.”

“We hired Kitchen Concepts after talking to other contractors and we were very happy with our decision. They performed the work according to the agreed schedule and they responded quickly to any concerns we had along the way. Ellen was great when we needed design help and she navigated us through the multiple phases of the project. We love our new kitchen and we gladly recommend Kitchen Concepts for their excellent service.”

“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.”

“Michael Weitz was extremely attentive to our needs and has a great command of his subs. He managed a massive renovation of our house in Mansfield over a period of years (2002 through 2006). First, he created a master bedroom suite. We invited him back to renovate our kitchen, add a foyer, fireplace, and 2 car garage with suite over. We would turn to him again for future projects that we can't handle ourselves!”

“We did remodeling for our kitchen and bathroom with New England Kitchen and Bath. Very helpful and organized staff. Amazing ideas. Designers help us to build the most beautiful kitchen and very unique bathroom. Five stars!”

“Complete demolition of our 25 year old kitchen. Floor to ceiling. Approximately 50 drawers/cabinets, including 7 glass cabinets. Quartz countertops. Tile flooring. All lighting upgraded to LED. Installation of 6 appliances, 2 sinks. Our new kitchen is truly an "Award Kitchen." Absolutely beautiful. The attention to details was superior. Considering the scope of this project, we had minimal problems, all of which, were corrected quickly. Guest bathroom was remodeled at the same time to match the kitchen...also beautiful. I would most definitely recommend this company!”

“I have used the services of Designs By Gia Interior Design for my home and to re-design my office space. I have been very happy with all of the service provided by Gia Milazzo Smith and her company. I found Gia to be organized, professional and truly interested in making the design right for me. I was extremely happy with the results and I enjoy many compliments on my office. I would definitely recommend Designs By Gia Interior Design for any design project.”

“In 2012, my husband and I added a Master Suite, Bath and Walk-in Closet to the first floor of our home. After visiting Mid State Kitchens and consulting with designer Jessie Taylor, we decided this was the company we felt most comfortable with. The end result was nothing short of a 'show stopper'! Friends and family raved about our 'pride & joy,' and would often ask for a second tour during future visits! There were no hiccups during the process. The measurements were correct and the cabinetry was delivered on time, as promised. Quality and pricing were excellent and we have no regrets with any of our decision making. We highly recommend Mid State Kitchens to those considering any building or remodel to their home.”

“Nicole has a fantastic sense of style from clothes and gardens to furniture, furnishings and details. She can work within any budget and timeframe and has ideas ranging from DIY to high end. She is always professional and a complete pleasure to deal with. I recommend her wholeheartedly.”
