Lazy Suzan Designs was recommended to me by a friend who had her entire home gutted out. We had just bought a home and wanted the heart of the home, the kitchen, to be the place that would stand out aesthetically and be enjoyable to cook, host, and enjoy for more than just one person. Working with Ann Marie was easy and fun because she made the process so. She made great recommendations and also kept what I had in mind. Doing a kitchen remodel is not as easy as they show on HGTV. You need someone like Ann Marie and her team on your side to help guide you, support you and take you through through the end. We couldn't be happier with our gorgeous and modern kitchen! With all of our thanks to Lazy Suzan Designs.

Ann Marie was GREAT to work with. She listened, gave guidance and helped us to design just the right layout with the right cabinets. She is a very creative person and I enjoyed discussing the design and bouncing ideas off her for other parts of the kitchen I.e. cabinet pulls, lighting, countertop, and flooring. Plus, Ann Marie is very responsive. Always getting back to me quickly. She gave me a lot of confidence and our kitchen turned out better than our dreams! We love it!

Ann Marie at Lazy Suzan Designs did a fantastic job designing our kitchen and both bathrooms. She used similar design and materials which fit the look and design of the house really well, including meeting with us at the showrooms to to choose materials. We could not be more pleased with the work she did and how all of the cabinets fit perfectly with the new sinks and appliances. I highly recommend her.

It was a pleasure working with Ann Marie on my kitchen, laundry and bath design. She is detailed, very responsive and has excellent design and color skillsets. I found her to be competitively priced and very honest with whom to deal. She followed up on every detail until I was completely satisfied. She has an excellent vendor base for the installation of the complete project. I recommend her to my friends, as she was recommended to me by a friend. Excellent experience!

I am thrilled with the kitchen and 3 bathrooms Ann Marie designed for me. They look beautiful and are very functional. Ann Marie has exceptional and creative design skills. Her design incorporated all my wants and stayed within budget. Ann Marie is extremely organized and is wonderful to work with. She has gone above and beyond her duties to help. Whenever there was an issue, Ann Marie was there to manage the resolution which exceeded my expectations. I would hire her again without hesitation.

Ann Marie expertly guided us through every step of our major remodel. She created a brand new floor plan for our kitchen/living area including the removal of walls to create an open look and feel. She listened to our ideas, likes, and dislikes to create the perfect design. She walked us through the process of choosing each material. She also recommended an excellent general contractor that we would have never found without her. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone.

We highly recommend Lazy Suzan Designs. Ann Marie's professionalism, skill set, and personality made our project really special. The superb quality, great design & functionality of the cabinets she designed are fantastic, as well as the overall design she recommended! It was an absolute pleasure working with her throughout our project, and we are so grateful for her expertise!

This was our first major kitchen remodel ever. A neighbor, whose kitchen we were very impressed with, highly recommended Ann Marie. We were not disappointed. She is a very knowledgeable and responsive professional. All our needs were met and she was able to find helpful solutions to all of our kitchen requirements. We have an out of this world cook in our family with many requirements and Ann Marie satisfied them all. She was also able to provide us with an excellent craftsman to do all the work. You will not be disappointed with Ann Marie. The project finished with 2 weeks of the estimated time, partially impacted by a 10 delay in the cabinets. From a major remodel this was within our expectations.

We are thrilled with the kitchen Ann Marie designed for us. Her layout optimized our space, creating a highly functional kitchen. She made several visits to our house before, during, and after our project, answering questions through every phase. She helped my husband and me make materials choices, possibly saving our marriage. I would hire her again without hesitation.

We saw the Lazy Suzan Mobile showroom van and gave them a call. Ann Marie came over and designed our kitchen and provided cabinetry that we still enjoy 5 years later. We used the contractor that she recommended and they worked great as a team to complete our project.

Working with Ann Marie was wonderful. She listened to all my wants for my remodeled kitchen and came back with a great plan. We did make a couple of changes but that was not a problem at all. The contractor she worked with was excellent. We love our kitchen.

I have been retired for nine years now, with at least a dozen home projects completed so far. Each project with a different contractor. Lazy Susan Designs, BY FAR, has been the best to work with. The work was completed on time, on budget, and best of all ... our kitchen is beautiful and my wife is happy! Anytime I had an issue or concern [and there were very few] it was taken care of quickly and to my satisfaction. I only wish I had used this firm from the very beginning. No issues or concerns here ... I give Lazy Susan Design a big 10.

We used AnnMarie to help us with our kitchen remodel and we whole heartedly give her two thumbs up. She understood our style, design ideas and was so easy to work with as she came up with an outstanding design that materialized into a beautiful completed project. She helped us throughout the process and went above and beyond throughout the project.

We have had a long working relationship with Ann Marie for many years now, and I am honored she continues to incorporate our Granite/Marble/Quartzite counter tops in her beautiful kitchen designs. Ann is very professional in what she does, yet is very down to earth and easy to work with. I cant think of a better person to help with Kitchen cabinets and design.

We are very fortunate to have built a wonderful partnership with Ann Marie with Lazy Suzan Designs. She is extremely organized, easy to work with and has exceptional and creative design skills. She operates the same as we do in that she will go above and beyond to make sure her clients are completely satisfied with the final outcome. Her cabinets hit that “sweet spot” of being a cost effective product while maintaining above average quality. In other words, exceptional “bang for the buck!” We look forward to many more years working together.

Ann Marie is simply the best. She listened to what we were trying to do and came back with a design and proposal that met all of our needs. We had researched kitchen remodeling contractors and products for almost a year. Prices, of course, were all over the board, without much in the way of real project management details. Most contractors were talking about a month of down time for the kitchen and that was simply unacceptable. Working with Ann Marie and her team, we completed our kitchen remodel in 8 days. While this may have been an "exception" from a timeline perspective, I believe that having someone who worked with us, instead of just "for us" was a significant benefit. I would use Lazy Suzan Designs again, if the opportunity arises.

Ann Marie helped us get our dream kitchen. We chose to get painted inset cabinets and not many designers know how to work with them. It was very important to us that we don't see any seams between the cabinet boxes and Ann Marie was able to design them in such a way that there were no seams at all. The kitchen looks amazing! Also the cabinets held up very well. We've had no issues with them at all. My biggest fear was that there will be separation at the joints and it will be obvious because the cabinets are painted. However that has not happened. Also the design of the kitchen layout is extremely functional. My husband and I both love to cook, and it is just a pleasure spending time and cooking in our kitchen. We are extremely pleased!

Best decision I ever made! Ann Marie and her associates were absolutely amazing. She only works with the best of the best. Every one of her recommendations for where to go for materials, appliances, etc. were spot on. Working with Lazy Susan Designs for my remodel eliminated headaches I had in the past. Not only did everyone keep appointments but showed up on time every commitment.
The work from the contractor Dennis Sigety was outstanding. The project completed in November and I never called him back for corrections or mistakes. It amazed me each and every day during the 3 month project how cheerful and courteous he remained. And he cleaned up every day!
Ann Marie is such a delight to work with and boy she sure knows her stuff. I was very impressed on how much she knows about the industry and the design for my kitchen was exactly what I wanted and she was very thorough with the details of the design. Samples were readily available and the cabinets arrived exactly when she said they would and are very good quality. Everyone from the retailers and the delivery people I encountered always sung her praises. The professionalism and integrity was how everyone should model themselves. What a great experience for a dreaded project, I can't wait to work with her again one day.

As a General Contractor, Ann Marie, (owner of Lazy Susan Designs), makes the process of designing a new kitchen with my clients both a breeze and enjoyable. Not only is her positive professional attitude valued, but her knowledge of how a kitchen functions, the personal spacial movement involved, the placement of cabinets to match personal use preference, deference to cabinet styles within the architectural context, and sensitivity to the clients budget have seamlessly delivered outstanding value and beauty. With Ann Marie one is left with very satisfied clients who praise us for their new kitchen.

We had been putting off a much needed kitchen remodel mostly because we were afraid we would have a frustrating, expensive, and unsatisfying experience based on the horror stories you sometimes hear.
We found Ann Marie at a local home show, along with a dozen or so other remodeling professionals. We liked her from the start and selected her above all the others. We are SO glad we did!
Ann Marie was instrumental in the design and construction process, plus without her we would not have found contractor Dennis Sigety. Ann Marie was excellent at keeping us informed and assisting with decisions-- even going shopping for counter tops with me. Dennis and his assistant were also very professional, always arriving on time and actually finishing the job slightly ahead of schedule! He has a great work ethic and is very talented. Both he and Ann Marie resolved a few issues in a way that we would never have come up with on our own.
We are very happy with our new kitchen and are always happy to recommend Lazy Suzan to others,

I truly believe that if we had not worked with Ann Marie, my husband and I would still be trying to figure out what we were going to do with our kitchen! We had several contractors suggest different kitchen designs, but we just weren’t happy with the suggestions. The first night we met with Ann Marie, she suggested a layout design we both liked, she showed us sample cabinet doors in her “display” vehicle, and she told us she would help us pick out granite, backsplash tile, paint colors, or anything else we needed. Her assistance in helping us pick out kitchen materials was incredibly helpful. We are very happy with the cabinets we purchased from her. The cabinets arrived right on time, and everything fit into place as expected. Ann Marie and our contractor worked very well together.

Ann Marie of Lazy Susan Designs worked with us on our house remodel. She created the design for the kitchen, found the cabinets we wanted (kitchen, bathrooms, utility room) at the price we could afford. I am so in love with my new kitchen cabinets! They are a gorgeous and rich looking cherry wood. But even more than having a quality product, was the excellent service. I have never received better customer service from anyone, bar none. She was there during the installation, checking to make sure all went well, and followed up afterward. If there was anything not totally perfect, she made it so. You can trust Ann Marie to have great advice, high quality products, and excellent customer service.

Ann Marie was a major part of our kitchen design team in a recent remodel of our Eichler. We tore out the old kitchen down to the studs and completely reoriented the room layout. This required us to reimagine the entire space, with our primary goal to stay within a specific footprint while creating a very open, functional and beautiful kitchen.
I have an amazing kitchen because of Ann Marie. I had some specific ideas of where I wanted my sink and refrigerator/freezer, and Ann Marie helped me to change my mind and vastly improve the layout and clean lines of my kitchen. She has a great feel for kitchen layout and years of experience in high end cabinet design. She created a modern, clean, open kitchen layout that is beautiful to look at and a joy to work in. Her suggestions for specific cabinet add-on features gave me cabinets that are easy to organize and use, and her suggestions for features to exclude gave me the freedom to change my mind as I go along.
Ann Marie is fun to work with, very intelligent, and a great, direct communicator. We had many great conversations together that helped clarify all of my myriad questions. You will love working with her.

We were searching for ideas to remodel our house and met Ann Marie at the Home Show in Monterey. She came out to the house, we talked about ideas and she showed us samples from her "traveling showroom". She not only helped with the Kitchen but the Master Bath and other areas of the house. She lead us to meeting her contractor, Dennis. We hired them to do the update and we are 100% + satisfied with the results and the service everyone provided. Their suggestions on style, finishes and improving beauty while minimizing costs were amazing. If you have the chance do business with the Lazy Susan team, you won't be disappointed.

At a time when most kitchen remodel jobs take virtually months to complete, Lazy Susan designs and Dennis Sigety completed our extensive remodel in 30 days . . start to finish! The workmanship was, actually, inspiring to witness and beautifully finished. All, repeat, ALL dimensions of the job, from design, to demo . . .to reconstruction . . .to all the finish work , , ,cabinets and appliances was done without a single complaint or difficult situation. We recommend Lazy Suzan Designs without reservation . . .and offer our kitchen as an example for anyone who wishes to see the workmanship first hand.

We could not be happier, our kitchen remodel is on schedule and the work exceeds our expectations. We liked what we selected with her help; the layout and the cabinets. Now that the cabinets are in they look even better than we expected. Ann Marie was able to discern our taste and provide us with options which were in our contemporary style. All our meetings were on time, she met with us at suppliers to select flooring, back-splash tile and counter top material. She promptly returned our calls and made herself available when we had questions and needed to meet in person.

Outstanding work! Ms. McCauley is very professional, personnable, easy to work with, knowledgeable, meets her deadlines and works well with both clients and contractors. She gives freely of her time, the kitchen design and cad program helped us to see our remodel. She knows what she is doing. She always measures twice and truly knows construction. The kitchen cabinets, the crown molding, the fire place mantle, the finish on cabinets and the construction were as promised and within the budget. We would hire Lazy Suzan Designs again. Ms. McCauley made a very difficult remodel for us, easy, because of her knowledge, design and honesty. We found her to be very fair and forthright in her work and billing. In addition, she has an excellent team of contractors at her disposal. We are very grateful for her work and glad that we found her.

We really enjoyed working with Lazy Suzan Designs. Annmarie was so easy and flexible to work with. She respected our budget and helped us to realize there was a way to obtain the new kitchen we had been dreaming of for years.
Our home was built in 1949. The kitchen had been remodeled in the 1970's and was very dysfunctional (and ugly to say the least).
Annmarie's ideas and designs resulted in more counter space we ever thought possible. The kitchen now feels much larger and open. This was achieved within the same footprint of the old kitchen...as we had no budget for knocking out walls.
Thank you again Lazy Suzan Designs!

We met Ann Marie of Lazy Suzan Designs at our local home show. She was very approachable and professional. Before we knew it we were on our way to a kitchen expansion and remodel. Our main concerns were placement of the refrigerator once the wall was torn down and more storage space. Ann Marie designed a huge peninsula with storage on both sides beneath the countertop plus floor to ceiling storage cabinets! She spent time shopping with us for countertops and flooring, provided all the specifications/dimensions for the appliances and gave us advice willingly and quickly. She and her crew were easy to work with and they worked diligently to deliver our dream kitchen in a timely manner. It is almost 2 years since our project was completed and we are still in awe at the beautiful modern kitchen Lazy Suzan Designs delivered. :))

Amazing, Professional, Friendly, Knowledgeable, Great Listener, A true pleasure to work with!
I would, and have, recommended Lazy Susan Designs. I could not have asked for anyone better. They worked with the contractor and subs, helped choose the granite, and kept in touch throughout the project.
I have a better kitchen remodel, because of Lazy Susan Designs.

Ann Marie was wonderful to work with and brought in a great team of professionals including an excellent general contractor. She worked closely with us to develop a good feel for our style and lifestyle preferences in designing our kitchen layout. Every aspect of our kitchen remodeling project was managed and executed very well. Ann Marie also provided superb guidance on the selection of finish materials and colors such as granite, backsplash, cabinet finishes, etc. The overall project took a little longer than anticipated due to the availability of some key components, but we love our new kitchen and find it both functional and beautiful. We highly recommend Lazy Suzan Designs!

Lazy Susan Designs saved us time and money while helping us achieve more than we had hoped with our kitchen remodel. Ann Marie's design background and practical experience were invaluable. She enabled us to take our ideas for increasing the functional space of our small kitchen and translate them into a beautiful workspace. She saved us money by making subtle design modifications to our plan to utilize standard sizes and saved us time by eliminating small but significant design issues that we wouldn't have caught. Having her customized showroom on wheels pull up to our house was SO convenient! It allowed me to see the finishes and styles in place, with the actual lighting so there were no surprises. She was a delight to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to friends (and have!) .
