“This past summer we were looking to update our kitchen and hired Karen Warner to help us with this project. Besides helping us choose new counters, appliances, and lighting, she made an important recommendation regarding our kitchen island that ended up improving the overall function of our kitchen.

Karen noticed that our large island was positioned too close to the outer counters, creating conflict with the cooktop, sink, and dishwasher. Her suggestion of moving the island has made our kitchen a more enjoyable space to work.

Another area that Karen suggested changing was the lighting. What an incredible difference this made, particularly in really showcasing the beautiful granite countertop.

She is very thorough and easy to reach when you need to ask questions. She has a wealth of information on appliances, counter surfaces, and will lead you to the best solution for your situation. Karen was with us every step of the way as a team worker in helping us to complete the most functional and beautiful kitchen within our budget.”

“We had a very outdated kitchen that was in desperate need of a renovation. We did a lot of research and worked with an in-house kitchen designer for about a month before seeking out an independent designer (Karen). We wanted an independent designer that would not have company-influenced biases when putting together a plan for our kitchen. We were confident after our first meeting with Karen that she was the right person to do the job.

Karen is a great listener and took the time to understand what our needs were and how we use our kitchen. We didn’t need to change much about the layout but removed all the old cabinets, countertops and flooring. Karen worked with us to plan a revised layout to suit our needs. She also helped us find an excellent local cabinet maker to implement her design. She made many creative suggestions for the layout of the cabinets that makes our new kitchen look unique.

Karen is truly invested in her work and it shows in her attention to all the details. After our kitchen was finished she came by to see the finished product and spent time carefully looking everything over and listening to feedback so that she can carry the experience forward to future projects. She was very responsive and reliable throughout the project.

We are thrilled with our kitchen and can’t imagine a better outcome! We are amazed at how easy it is to work in the new space – everything fits perfectly and is just where we need it.”
