Thank you for visiting. I would love it if you would Add to this client testimonial page! |
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) Donna Domingo-Halsebo,
Concord
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. Sara Cooney - Sandy and Frank Garcia - 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! - - 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. Elaine Edginton - 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. Sue Kamins - 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! Lili Schafer - 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! Mary Robertson - 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. Christl Kasler - 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! Sissy & Steve
Rogers - 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! Leigh Pike - 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. Kerry Taylor
Maranatha
Construction /Taylor & Burgess Contracting. - 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. Wayne Christian - 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. Dave & Jane
Allen - 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! Pat Lyon - 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. Susan Wallin
