Margie designed my
kitchen in 2004. Three years later, I am about to put my
house on the market, and I will really miss that
kitchen! It functions beautifully and looks great too. Clearly it
will be a big selling point. (Note: the house sold in just days)

We did our kitchen
last spring based on Margie’s design and we love it. Our 1959
kitchen still had the original wall oven. The transformation was
great … the plans were perfect for us. I still have the design
for our office addition, but need to get a variance to build it and
have to jump through some administrative hoops to get that project
rolling. I will certainly refer you to friends who would benefit
from your services.

I am an architectural color consultant in Walnut Creek. I worked with one
of your client's recently - Noreen Lakeman and Stanley Nelson in
Pleasant Hill. Their kitchen is gorgeous!! Truly one of the best I have
seen. I now have a new client who is looking for a kitchen designer, her
name is …..
in case you would like to contact her.

You helped design our kitchen a few years ago. We had 4 very active
small children and your design layout worked with the kids and
continues to work as they have grown up! We constantly receive compliments
on the layout of our kitchen and familyroom.

We are about to begin building a small Cape Cod in downtown Pleasanton.
Our architect has laid out the kitchen and baths, but I just don't think
he's as good a space planner as you are. We loved your work when you designed
the kitchen in our last home about four years ago. We would love to see
what you could do for us on this quaint little home!

We love the kitchen you designed for us! After several years,
we're still thrilled with the beauty, clever efficiency, and
attention
to detail you incorporated into the plan. Thanks much!

You designed our kitchen in August and it was finally finished the second
week in December. Everyone comments on how well laid out it is, utilizing
every bit of space. This kitchen is
super and I just wanted you to know that your plan was the guiding
light. Your sketches were
exactly what we needed. The rest of our house pales in comparison. I am passing your name
on to one of my neighbor’s friends.
Thanks again,

Everyone that comes by and sees the new kitchen can't believe their eyes. It has
changed the whole look of the interior of the house. You have brought extreme pleasure
and satisfaction to our family with your design. Our Shih Tzu, Molly, fell in love with
the contractor you recommended and is happy to refer him to all of her friends’ owners.

Your amazing input seemed so simple, but it completely changed the working dynamics of my
kitchen. I took all your suggestions and I LOVE my kitchen. It makes me happy to be in that
part of the house. I will always be in debt to your creativity and ability to see something
in a slightly different way. I will definitely be in touch with you later this year for your
ideas on my bathrooms.

Our bathroom turned out great. (Remember our retro Victorian house on the hill way out in
the country?) We kept the costs well under $10,000 and it looks top rate!

We just finished our kitchen remodel...it is beautiful!!! Thank
you for all your design work and input. You took our tiny kitchen
and made it look and feel much larger. We appreciate your help
very much! Thank you again!

A year ago, our kitchen was a construction site and I thought
it would not be finished for an eternity and never come together
right. How wrong I was!
We enjoy it tremendously. Everything
functions perfectly, and it has become the gathering place you
designed it to be. When the
family visits, there's room for two or three people to help
me prepare the meal, the kids play in the family room and the others
sit around enjoying hors d'oeuvres and lively discussions.
Everyone has a great time.
Our new kitchen unexpectedly passed
a new test recently when I broke my foot and had to use a wheel
chair for a while. Low and
behold, I could easily navigate through the kitchen. The isles
are wide enough and the corners are just right for turning the
wheel chair around. Sitting down, I could reach and use all my
appliances. I could retrieve things from the pantry and fix breakfast
for myself without having to wake my husband. Amazing! At this
rate I can cook here when I am 90! Now that I've graduated
to crutches and can put a little weight on my foot, I leave the
crutches in the corner once I get to the kitchen. The distance
from the island to the other counter tops is just right for me
to reach with only a single step. I'm slow, but very happy
to function so well.
Margie, I can't tell you how happy I
am to have experienced all of this first hand. It gives me the
feeling that this kitchen
truly will serve us for a very long time. You suggested using "universal
design" principles when we told you we wanted to live in
this house as long as we were able to take care of it and
ourselves', but I did not think I would get to test those
features quite so soon. Having done so, I am more in awe of all
that you have accomplished than I was before my accident.
Once again,
a very heartfelt Thank you.

I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate
the design you did for us. It all became clear to me when I went
to pick out appliances.
If I hadn't had the appliance spec sheet you completed with us,
I would have been totally lost. Your drawings helped so much when
we visited
lumber companies and tile stores too. Thanks, Margie!

You did a kitchen design for me and my husband
a few years ago. The kitchen turned out beautifully! Over the years
we have told many people that your design
consultation was the best investment we made in our kitchen.
Now I am looking at remodeling the master bath area. We hope you can work your
magic again!

After building and remodeling homes, hotels and commercial buildings
for 30+ years, it is nice to work from a design that is not only
functional
and beautiful, but technically accurate from a construction design
standpoint. After completing a remodel project designed by Margie,
our client has had a pleasurable experience from start to finish,
and most ask us both back for their next project.

I enjoy bidding and building Margie's designs. When I am bidding
one of Margie's projects, I can give the homeowner a very good
price because
I know the designs are so well thought out. When I start one of Margie's
projects I always find the homeowner so well prepared and they
tell
me how they loved working with Margie and how valuable she is to
their project.

Margie is a Miracle Worker. She designed us a Kitchen, Nook,
and Pantry area that is beyound our wildest dreams. Margie is
extremely knowledgeable, prompt, professional, and tons of fun to
work with. We will highly recommend her to all our friends and
family.
Margie, you have a lifetime invitation to dinner at our house.

Margie did such a fabulous job designing our kitchen and home
office that we had to have her help us remodel our guest bathroom.
The end result is stunning. I can't wait to have her help us redesign
the master bathroom!

I love the design you came up with. I keep telling everyone
that the best money I spent in the remodeling process was having
a professional designer come in and help me get my ideas onto paper.
If I manage to survive this remodeling job, the bathrooms will
be next and I will be calling you. Thank you so much for all of your
help.
