Marianne did a tremendous job with a kitchen and dining room remodel. She brought fresh ideas and blended those seamlessly with my personal taste and preferences. She is really easy to work with, knowledgeable, flexible and did an outstanding job. I can't recommend her highly enough, I'll definitely be using her for my bathroom remodel!

I highly recommend Marianne to help in designing any construction project you might thinking about doing. She is insightful and is able to look at your space/ project and make recommendations. We were putting in new windows and doors. It is amazing how well it turned out and updated our house.

Having lived in a few (mostly) older homes, we are no strangers to renovations. While most of them ended with satisfactory results, the process could be very stressful. So when we started to think about updating two small, outdated bathrooms in our current house, I wasnt too anxious to get that process started. I accidentally came across Mariannes website, and thought she might be able to make the process smoother. The reason that I initially asked for a consultation, is that her taste seemed to match ours. We had a few meetings to discuss our needs and get the process started. Marianne is

Marianne is amazing! She tackled a very strange bathroom layout and made it work. She listened to our needs and our budget and designed not one, but two beautiful bathrooms! She handled problems well and was outstanding in communicating issues, resolutions and alternatives. I highly recommend.
