Kitchen & Bathroom Designers in Porter

“I'm greatly satisfied with the work I've done with Pablo Arguello. I first hired him in 2013 to remodel the kitchen and number of smaller projects. And then for the master bathroom remodeling in 2014. I'm very satisfied with the results. Some problems occurred time to time as you would expect with bigger projects, but every time they were solved efficiently. After some time working together I got the impression that Pablo knows my house better than I do and he never minds the calls even if it's apparently plumbing or electrical unrelated to his projects, he can give the valuable advice or to send the proper person to help. I'm sure it saved my money numerous times.”

“It's always a pleasure to work with Robby and Lisa. They are creative and talented, and will work with you from beginning to end to produce a stunning finished result!”

“Sweetlake Interior design is an excellent company to work with. My job was very involved...completely gutting and redesigning the kitchen, new tile floors in 3 large rooms, 2 large built ins, painting almost all rooms as well as purchasing new furniture and decorating. Lori, the owner, is very professional and friendly and has the most amazing crew of contractors of whom she oversees beautifully. Each of the head contractors are very skilled at what they do and supervise their crews accordingly. Probably the most rewarding experience was with my designer Aurora. She is extremely talented and easy to work with. From the first day she listened carefully to me and very quickly understood my tastes and preferences. She designed the kitchen of my dreams, not to mention creating a gorgeous flow from room to room that is breathtaking. She helped me choose furniture and decor and made purchasing these very easy. Aurora worked very closely on a daily basis with the crew and was consistent in achieving quality in every level of construction and design. The written contract with Sweetlake was very thorough and itemized and there were no surprises. The whole job went very smoothly and was completed in less time than estimated. I would highly recommend Sweetlake Intereror Design to anyone who is looking for a desginer. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“Melissa did an remarkable job with my full kitchen renovation. She truly listened to all of my ideas and shaped them into a brilliant design while keeping mind the items I wanted to retain. Melissa brought excellent ideas to the table, asked questions and spent the time to learn my tastes. By the end of the job she could predict the choices I would make. The result is a beautiful, functional and fabulous kitchen. I would not hesitate to hire Melissa again.”

“The Not So Big House The challenge was making a 1936 charming rock cottage with a meager 1,000 sq ft into something livable. The original kitchen was about the size of a closet. It was so small that the refrigerator has to go in the hall. The screened-in porch in the back had been converted into a nondescript room in the 1960’s that had a leaky flat roof and termites. In a nutshell, here is what we did. We tore out the existing kitchen and converted the space into part of the living room. We demolished the nondescript room and rebuilt it on a slab so that it would support a second story. The nondescript room became the kitchen and utility room of my dreams. The upstairs became a master bedroom, a master bath, and an office alcove. In the kitchen (since the floors in the living room are oak, the walls knotty pine, and the ceiling shiplap - all medium hues of brown) we selected a very dark ebony matte finish on the cabinets so that they would stand out from the rest of the wood in the house. The color and finish turned out beautiful on the Brookhaven knotty cherry that we used throughout the house. The stainless steel washer and dryer are part of the kitchen and go nicely with the other stainless steel appliances. We put Saltillo tile countertops with decorative Talavera tile inserts in the kitchen. We planned a 15 inch space above the wall cabinets to display some Talavera plates. The above and below cabinet lighting add to the overall ambience of the room. Since we don’t have an eating area, we use the island to seat up to six. The pull out drawers, the pantry, the “Lazy Susans”, the spice drawers and utensil drawer make efficient use of space and motion. We even have a pull-out drawer under my sink to store my dish scrubbers. My trim carpenter installed the bottom cabinet molding backwards, but it still looks great. We made the mistake of ordering a side-by-side counter depth refrigerator. We lost valuable storage space with the double doors and would have been better off with a single door refrigerator. We’ll just have to live with it for now. Upstairs, I used the same Brookhaven knotty cherry cabinets in a matte ebony finish throughout. These cabinets integrate well with the rustic look and feel of the entire home. We carved an office out of the wall in the master bedroom creating an alcove by flanking the desk with bookshelves. Large iron gates close off the desk giving me some mental and physical separation from it since it’s in my bedroom. The master bath has Saltillo countertops and Talavera sinks installed in the Brookhaven knotty cherry cabinets. We love the soft close doors and drawers. The hammered copper cabinet knobs go well with the bronze faucets and other hardware in the bathroom. Now, a few things about Cabinets and Designs and why you should select them as your cabinet designers. The job went like clockwork. Cabinets and Designs made it so easy. No surprises. The cabinets came in on time. My salesman, David, came out to the job site several times. He measured the space while under construction to plan, then measured again before ordering, and came out again when the cabinets were delivered to review installation instructions with the builder. David shared his experience and expertise to make the best possible use of my space for what was important to me. Now I have the a bigger “not so big house” with the kitchen and bath of my dreams in it. Thank you!”

“Extremely easy and pleasant experience! Roshaunda made the process super simple and seamless and my family loves our new space. We use to avoid the basement, but now it’s where we spend most of our time together. Thanks Ro!”

“I had Scott draw up plans for an upcoming kitchen remodel. He came up with an excellent design. He is easy to work with, is professional and has great ideas. I would highly recommend him. Ken Cary”
