“I am most pleased to highly recommend Marivela Design. Working with Marina on the remodel of my kitchen and two bathrooms has been inspiring and creative. With her eye to both the big picture and the fine detail, she has coordinated a look and feel to my space that is joyful and yet very functional. Her “can do” attitude makes the process fun. She is very responsive to requests large and small. I look forward to working with her on other projects for my home.”

“Meredith was a fabulous designer- she made our ideas better. She respectfully told us when she thought our ideas wouldn't work over time and always gave us several options to choose from, while keeping our budget in mind. I have recommended her to several of my friends who have also been happy with her work, and I have used her on more than one remodeling job. She is a pleasure to work with!”

“We worked with Trisha as we prepped our family home for sale. We had lived there 20+ years and had never remodeled the 2.5 bathrooms. Trisha was very easy to work with. She understood and worked within our budget goals and guided us to contemporary/current color and material choices. We loved our finished product and know it help us sell our home within 5 days of going on the market, and over our asking price! We recommend her highly.”

“Ms. Johnson recently provided consultation and design service for our bathroom remodel. She listened attentively to our general ideas and helped distill them down into the perfect plan. Her knowledge, expertise, and attention to detail were invaluable in helping us choose the best materials, products, and color scheme for our bathroom from the overwhelming and myriad choices available. She was very prompt and efficient in providing any information or service needed and offered wonderful tips and advice throughout our consultations. We really enjoyed working with Lucy and are thrilled with the results!”

“After much searching and disappointment trying to find an interior designer, we found Brian and believe we hit gold. We hired Brian to redesign our existing kitchen and master bath. Neither of us had ever remodelled a house. We had an idea of how we wanted the areas to feel but didn't know how to make it happen. Brian asked the right questions about our family to come up with a number of different options on how we can make the best use of our spaces. He really thought of everything when it came to functionality especially for the kitchen; for us, our kitchen really is the heart of the home and not just somewhere to eat. We believe the final product that was provided will help make the remodelling process as economical and smooth as possible. Brian was easily accessible during his design process and afterward asking us the status of our project.”

“Candace Nordquist is a Certified Kitchen design professional. She transformed our kitchen, seating area, family room, and entry into beautiful, highly functional, and comfortable spaces. She provided the design, material selection, coordination or purchase of materials, and recommended highly capable subcontractors I used to finish the project. Our waterfront house needed to have the view maintained or enhanced, the materials and colors needed to be capable of intense direct sunlight, and the traffic flow from the kitchen to the deck supported. She reorganized the kitchen placing flat surfaces between the arriving guest and the view. The tall elements were concentrated on the back wall giving a solid welcoming feel. Her 38" high waterfall granite table provides seating to enjoy the view. There are 28 cabinet drawers for storage, and the food prep, cooking, and clean up areas are all well organized. The electrical plan was also an integral part of the overall design. The under cabinet power outlets are especially nice and have minimized wall outlets. The lighting is able to be changed to create a variety of moods as well as provide specific task lighting. It is a pleasure to cook and entertain in this kitchen.”

“Richard work closely with our general contractor during the entire (complete) remolding of our home. Richard was completely responsible for the entire interior layout, kitchen design, pantry design, bathrooms (including hardware) ,all cabinetry (including hardware), all counter tops (including custom decorative concrete counter tops), all interior and exterior decorative details, and paint, wall paper, and art features for the both the interior and exterior of the house. Richard help us make decisions that resulted with a remolding project that reflected our original desires. Richard worked well with vendors, subcontractors, and the general contractor. He stayed on schedule and was always cognizant of budgetary constraints. It was a pleasure working with Richard, who exemplified the highest of professional standards and was always creative and inventive with his suggestions. We would highly recommend Richard to others that are considering a remolding activity.”

“We worked with Kristin on remodeling the kitchen and fireplace area. This was a challenging space with some odd angles and we had initially planned to stick with the existing cabinet layout. Kristin suggested an alternate design with an island and drew up plans for both layouts so we could compare them. We were skeptical at first but she came up with a clever design that was a natural fit for our space. It incorporated features from the room yet brought a modern feel to it. It had ample walk around space and maximized the cabinet storage. And best of all it took care of all our needs with little touches that showed her long experience in the field. Both our contractor and the countertop fabricator commented on the creativity of the design. Kristin walked us through the cabinet choices and helped us pick a quality brand at a reasonable price. She was open to working with any cabinet brand of our choice but in the end we went with the one she was most familiar with. The cabinets turned out to be well made, got delivered on schedule and Kristin was prompt in contacting them to ship out the odd piece that had damage. We had gone back and forth on cabinets for a long time but once we started working with Kristin the choices became clear and we could move forward quickly. Kristin also chose the tile, paint, stain etc. Her choices turned out to be a good fit with the overall design and she made an effort to take our preferences into account for each of them. For the ones that we chose on our own like pulls, lighting etc, Kristin gave us great tips on what to look for and helped narrow down the choices when it got overwhelming. Kristin is a creative and experienced designer. She is flexible, down to earth and a pleasure to work with. Between Kristin and our contractor, the entire remodel turned out to be a low stress experience. We wouldn't hesitate to hire her again for our next design project.”

“Brittany designed and coordinated the remodel of our master Bath and Bedroom, our stairs and our down stairs office and entry way. She did a phenomenal job with the design and with the selection, coordination and monitoring of the contractors selected for the various remodel jobs. We are extremely pleased with the results. She encouraged us to stretch our imagination to see her vision for the space, we did and we could not be happier.”
