Testimonials

"Don, I can't thank you enough for how you've turned a narrow and poorly designed kitchen into a culinary palace. I love how everything is laid out. The dish cabinets opposite the dishwasher; clean-up sink opposite the stove; prep sink opposite the refrigerator and freezer. Even more important are the improvements that you insisted on that I (in my architectural and appliance ignorance) had to trust you on blindly. Moving the entranceway, combining the windows into a seven-foot wide expanse that looks out on the rose garden/bird sanctuary (and creates such perfect ventilation), the two separate sinks for preparation and clean-up, the Miele double oven (Wow!), Miele dishwasher (I didn't know things could get THAT clean), the Capital cooktop (fantastic!), the Thermador refrigerator and freezer towers (absolutely perfect for our family); these elements combine to make a kitchen that is a delight to cook in."
