Scott designed our extensive kitchen renovation to include extra space utilization, ergonomic details, and advice on the products and contractors involved. I was able to save our favorite Smithsonian Design archived wallpaper without a problem., and the manager of our job was truly instrumental in my choices of what to cherish and save. My wishes were followed to the tee and with extra consideration was given to me for my wanting a very classic design that fit in with my wide plank pine floors and brick tiles.
Evelyn helped me patiently with all the extra details I had my heart set on.
She is a professional with many years of experience, and wonderful to process the design with when you think you have been unwise in your own choices. She gave me the support! Our cabinet builder was meticulous and included me in every detail. Best of all , we were set up on a finely tuned schedule and the job was finished with amazing accuracy from the schedule presented at the start.
Needless to say it has been worth every penny. Would not change a thing.
