I had the pleasure of working with Carol and her colleague, Kelly, on a Master Bedroom remodel. Within the first couple meetings, Carol paired me with Kelly as she felt our styles would be similar - she was right! The project included some simple aesthetics - like new bedding and wallpaper - but also some built in cabinetry to create an office nook and gorgeous new drapes! I learned so much about how drapery can really change a room! Carol and Kelly were both very responsive and attentive to our project. I was relieved to have them help with this project as we welcomed our second daughter only a month after completion. I was so grateful to have a gorgeous mater bedroom to lounge in during those early newborn days. Thank you Carol and Kelly!

Carol helped me to create and obtain my dream bathroom. It was a tiny main bathroom which, initially, I was reluctant to change much. Through her guidance and vision, I trusted her design of gutting the shower and removing the soffit and instead putting in all glass shower walls with a pony wall. She supported my choices for floor and wall tiles. She even suggested placing grass-cloth wallpaper on one accent wall and hanging a custom made mirror on it which I love, love, love. Probably the most helpful thing she did was hook me up with a reputable contractor, since I did not have one picked out on my own. She has worked with him for years and knew he would do a wonderful job. Yes, he delivered!! The bottom line is that I love my bathroom and feel utter bliss and zen when I am in it. And I could not have done it without Carol’s help. I recommend her design company to anyone contemplating a home remodel project. You will be elated!! And it’s fun.

I have been working with Carol for years, mostly for window treatments but also custom bedding. She is an amazing designer who listens very carefully and then gets to work! Besides having wonderful suggestions, she is so great at making sure the height of the drapes are just right and the width stacks perfectly when they are opened. She always makes sure the rod will work with the type of drapery hook chosen, as well. Who knew there were so many kinds of drapery rods??? She does! And there has NEVER been a mistake. The window coverings are delivered, installed and perfect every time!

My wife and I just completed an extensive Master Bath Remodel. We could not have done it without Carol as our designer. Our existing master was old had 1950's glass block walls in the shower. old Formica counters and cabinets. My wife and I have opposing tastes, so we desperately needed a designer. Carol took us under her wing, (even found us an excellent contractor!) Carol was extremely pro active. Whether we were meeting to go pick out cabinets, tile, hardware etc. Carol had already been to the shop and had several samples already there for us to compare. Her taste and her eye are impeccable. She always steered us in the right direction. My wife and I trusted her taste, and ended up being more comfortable with her eye than ours. The end result is an incredible new master bathroom we are extremely pleased with. We give Carol and her firm the highest recommendation.

Thank you Steve for your rave review! It was a challenging & fun project to collaborate with you on. It turned out Stunning!!!!!

Sherry Williams

We hired Carol to replace all of our window coverings. They were all our original window coverings from when we bought our house over 37 years ago. We talked to her about options and visited her store. We ended up choosing Hunter Douglas Shutters for all of the house except the sliding glass door. For the door, we had custom draperies done by Carol and her seamstress.. Everything looks beautiful. The shutters are the favorite thing we have ever done to our house. Carol was a pleasure to work with as was the installer she used. Highly recommend her!

Thank you Sherry! I enjoyed our collaboration on your project.

Cathy Aaron

Carol and her team are the ultimate professionals. Immediately after our initial meeting, her team produced a design concept that was exactly what I wanted to achieve with my master bath remodel. She helped me through each step of the design, selection and ordering of surfaces and fixtures, and gave me pointers for hiring the contractor. Carol also understood my desired level of involvement, and the project turned out to be a terrific team effort. We definitely will work together on future projects!

Carol has helped us on several projects over the last few years. Most significantly she helped us with the entire remodel of our home. Carol is easy to work with, taking into account budget, quality and lifestyle. She has a magnificent eye for color, texture, lighting, etc. She's timely, efficient and considers variety of factors before recommending anything including different views but also budget limitations. Everything she does is with enthusiasm and care. Overall, Carol is an excellent professional that I enjoyed working with and highly recommend.

Carol has a very good eye for color and design. Though, her experience, passion and enthusiasm is what I found to be the most memorable. Our family is very pleased with Carol’s work and more than satisfied with the end results of our project.

Thank you for the kind words! It was a pleasure to work with you on your home remodel project along with Steve, at Distinctive Cabinetry. The results are stunning & magazine worthy!

Carol has assisted us on several projects and was extremely helpful in guiding us with some key decisions for our home remodel. It was a large scale project involving bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchen, family room and dining room. Carol has a keen eye for color, space and design. She is able to anticipate considerations I would never think of. Carol always keeps in mind what my style and motif preferences are without letting her own preferences influence her recommendations. She is a true professional who knows the lines she carries very well and takes into account value and keeping costs down, plus she is very pleasant and a lot of fun to work with! We would not hesitate to work with her again and highly recommend her to others!

When my husband and I starting planning our kitchen remodel, we had a definite vision. We had never used a designer before, and although we were not new to the home renovation process, this remodel was much larger than anything we had previously done. This time, we wanted to hire a professional to get reassurance and affirmation on our kitchen design and finishes. Carol did an outstanding job! She really helped guide me through the entire process. I came to her with many ideas of my own. She listened to those ideas and confirmed when they made sense and guided me when they did not. But more importantly, she assisted me when I struggled making a decision. Carol is a complete professional and really understands her clients. She was there when I needed her while still understanding that I wanted to be involved in every aspect of the process and needed guidance more than anything. Carol was a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to work with her again.
