I've been dreaming of a kitchen remodel for years, and when I finally decided it was time to act, my design inspiration from the last several years were all from Karin Ross Designs. During the initial meeting at our house, Karin could instantly see through our dated kitchen to the glamorous modern version it could be, and did a great job of walking us through the possibilities. When it came to making our selections, she did a wonderful job of narrowing the choices down to a few options so I wasn't overwhelmed, and I appreciated she wasn't shy about voicing her opinion and reminding me of her ultimate vision. It took me a little time to fully embrace the design, but Karin was incredibly patient and I could not be happier with the end result! It took several years before I was truly ready to undertake a kitchen remodel. Karin and her team made it well worth the wait!

Karin and her team were a dream to work with for our ground floor remodel! From the very beginning, the process was streamlined, convenient, and tailored to what we needed, and Karin helped us translate our vision for our house into reality. One of the reasons we wanted to work with a designer was because our house aesthetic is a little off the beaten track, and Karin was invaluable in sourcing materials and options that would match the kind of design we loved, along with anchoring our ideas into a cohesive whole that now makes the entire house flow. The actual remodeling process was quick and smooth, with a team that paid a lot of attention to detail and did an immaculate job. (One thing that was super lovely was that the team kept the worksite extremely tidy, which is a big help with kids and pets!) Having Karin work hand-in-glove with the remodeling team made the entire renovation process seamless and ultra-convenient. We are blown away with our renovation and how flawless our ground floor looks now; we’d use Karin again in a heartbeat!
