Kitchen & Bathroom Designers in San Diego

“My husband and I bought our first home last February and had to furnish the entire thing on a budget. Hope was incredible and inspiring with her own vision while also taking ours into account. It made the project not only less overwhelming but FUN. She has a great sense for which pieces you should spend more money on and where you can get away with spending less. She is extraordinarily creative and offered the perfect amount of conviction and confidence when I needed it to pull the trigger on bigger items or concepts. She is talented and patient, her response time is amazing and whether what you're working on is big or small, she makes you feel like a priority. We tackled different projects over time and I appreciated being able to space it out like that. She was great at managing the needs and expectations of both my husband and myself (since sometimes they differed.) She is organized, passionate about design and professional. I trust her taste and that she has our best interest at heart. It is an absolute pleasure to work with her and I know we will for years to come as our home and family and needs change. She helped make this house we own our home. I would recommend her services to anyone.”

“Kelly Hendrick's of Gourmet Galleys & Loos is a consummate professional. She is friendly, cooperative, cheerful and economical. Her communication skills are excellent. She gets back to you in a timely manner. She works well with others in the business. Kelly knows how to listen to your needs and she knows how to make it happen. She cares about your project and will always give you her excellent opinion. Her skills come from experience and natural talent. I would recommend her services to anyone. I could never have done this remodel without her.”

“I'm fortunate to have known Dana and Lee for nearly 7 years. Their reputation speaks for itself. If you haven't done so already, visit their beautiful showroom on Girard Ave. The products are high quality. So many of the displays demonstrate how you can have a gorgeous, functional kitchen in small spaces.”

“INPLACE is fabulous! Allison Dorvieller and her team are incredible. They approach their business in a very thoughtful manner taking all of the clients needs into consideration. Allison has an incredible eye, great taste and an architectural approach that is a very rare find. I absolutely love my kitchen and the interior space planning and materials selection process was flawless. I found INPLACE to be extremely professional and meticulous with details. I would recommend them without reservation and can't imagine doing a project without them at the helm.”

“This home was my first large-scale project and I needed lots of guidance, but I hadn't been feeling any kind of connection with designers until I met Jaci. I knew within a short time that she had a vision of my dream home, without my even having to jump through hoops to get it across to her. I've never met someone so in sync with my thoughts, wishes and desires for a home that my son and I could live in. Not only did she come to the project with years of experience, inspirations, visions and professionalism (that would have been plenty for me!), but she infused our working relationship with fun, sparkling wit and personality that I just adore.... Not only do I appreciate what went into my home, thanks to Jaci, but anyone who spends time here is also impressed by what she's accomplished...aesthetically pleasing, inviting, the kind of home that lovingly wraps itself around me and my friends and family. "Love where you live, and live where you love" are words that I'd ascribe to Jaci's ability to meld her designs with a client's wishes. Oh, and p.s.....my home just keeps looking better and better every year!”

“Hi Love working with Lori. I had a remodel done for my kitchen and bathroom and Lori was very helpful in choosing the right colors to match and everything to coordinate. When you are spending so much money remodeling I felt it was important to have someone like her. I absolutely love my remodel and get complements all the time. Lori is very talented and listens to her clients.”

“Transitions Designs has prvoided thoughtful, tasteful designs for several of my clients. All desings have been based on the customers buget & life style, and needs, looking forwad.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Holly Stosic at our homes in Manhattan Beach and in Arizona. The MB house remodel was a galley Kitchen and three bathrooms. The kitchen was orginally very dark and confining. We have a vaulted ceiling. Holly suggested putting in windows above the cabinets, so we wouldn’t lose storage. The outcome was beautiful and it brings in so much natural light. The cabinets are a soft gray (almost white) very coastal looking. The laundry was adjacent to the kitchen and it is all enclosed in cabinetry, so it looks like part of the kitchen. Holly put in a gray cabinet/pantry that looks like a piece of furniture. She added quartz counter tops and blue iridescent Sonoma tile. Holly suggested incorporating rustic wood shelves and a beautiful butcher block top of our adjacent bar area. In kid’s Jack and Jill suite we used Walker Zanger white crackle tile. It had so many great different pieces and allows for accessorizing as our girls grow-up. Going with the coastal theme of the house, we used a Carrera marble looking Caesarstone on the counters. All of our vanities were raised, as we are a very tall family. Holly didn’t miss a beat and she even fed our pets while we were on vacation. Our bathroom was also Walker Zanger tile, an off-white tile with soft green accent tiles. The cabinets are an off-white called linen. The powder room has a bold patterned tile on the floor and a porcelain vanity. The whole family loves the house so much. Recently, we purchased a home in the desert. Holly has such incredible listening skills. She makes the project fun and I just felt so confidant. Even when things go wrong, she is right there with a solution. I love that she doesn’t make excuses. Her team is incredible. We’re in the planning stages for our desert house, which will be very modern. I highly recommend La Costa Cabinets & Design.”

“We raised our family in the same neighborhood over 26 years. Our home yearned for updating. Some goals were: eliminate fall risks from multi level flooring, make downstairs bathroom senior safe, open up family room and brighten up downstairs with new doors and windows. We chose Marrokal because of their impeccable reputation. We did not seek other bids because ours would be the 7th Marrokal remodel project in our small cul-de-sac. All our neighbors praised their work. The Design Team exceeded our expectations and incorporated creative innovations into our home AND helped us stay within our budget. The production phase required a bit of oversight, but this job, remodeling all of the downstairs, was completed on time in 5 1/2 months. We lived in our home during the project and Marrokal always kept the job site clean! The caliber of subs was top notch. The final product turned out fabulous! Finally, we rarely need to utilize our extended warranty due to the quality of workmanship, nothing breaks! There is no doubt in our minds that we will hire Marrokal for future projects. You should too!!”

“Lance Stratton, principal of Studio Stratton, is a brilliant designer and a joy to work with. He helped us recreate our home after a devastating fire and remained an unflappable and constant encouragement throughout the entire construction process. The kitchen Lance created for us is stunning--magazine beautiful; exactly what we'd wanted, but didn't know how to achieve ourselves; and hands-down our favorite room in the house. I am grateful every day that we found Lance Stratton in the midst of that difficult post-fire period.”
