Design 1 was a delight to work with from the first visit to our house to the final punch list. Kristen Boncore was enthusiastic and creative in working with our vision. She was always cheerful and helped us make design choices that were beautiful as well as functional. Mike Kirtland, as the project manager, was responsive, attentive and transparent. We could always count on him to make sure the project ran smoothly and with high quality results. There are always glitches in remodeling projects. Design 1 navigated these as painlessly as possible and we truly appreciate that attention to customer service. Loudes and his team were hardworking, respectful and highly skilled. It was a pleasure to have them working in our house. Steve Brady, the plumber, was diligent in solving various plumbing issues. Steve from DeSousa, the electrician and his team, made sure our lighting/electrical work was just what we had imagined. The additional painting was done carefully and beautifully by Marlon Lopez and his team. We used John Nunamaker with Stone Inc for the stone. Though Design 1 does not typically use his shop, they were flexible and able to work together. John’s team did a great job fabricating the center piece of the bathroom: the stone. We love our new bathroom! It is a veritable sanctuary! We unreservedly recommend Design 1 for any project.Read More

The team at Design 1 helped us transform our small kitchen, making it brighter and improving the layout. Kaytlyn walked us through the many decisions a kitchen renovation requires with patience and good humor. She and her team were easy to work with, communicative, and worked well with our contractor. We are so happy with the results!Read More

Design One is named appropriately! This group of people oversaw my project from beginning to end and exceeded my expectations on all levels! (I'm a professional musician and have very high expectations!) My husband and I are all about investing in the property way before we decide to move so that we can enjoy the new kitchen! We choose excellent quality cabinets and counter tops and yes, it was expensive, but you for get what you pay for! The result is for sure worth it. We had a 'vision' for our kitchen to have elements reminding us of a recent trekking trip to Nepal. Our designer, Eliza Bigelow, worked with us on all the details and went out of her way to find specific details which worked with the total picture. The financial picture was clear; amounts and 'due by' dates were explained clearly and well. We also have rescue dogs on our property so I needed to know daily when the gates would be opened so I could have the dogs secure. Again, Design One's team kept in close contact regarding scheduling. This kitchen is literally a once in a life time dream come true. I would highly recommend Design One!Read More

Kitchen remodel. Very accessible and helpful, responded promptly to questions and quickly addressed any issues that came up. Coordinated all the permits and subcontractors efficiently with no delays. Finished ahead of schedule with great end result.Read More

Design 1 Kitchen & Bath recently completed a master bathroom project for us. We worked with Eliza Bigelow on the design concept and she successfully interpreted our tastes and requirements to turn our vision into a stunning reality. The entire project was expertly coordinated from start to finish. We were kept informed with clear communications every step of the way. Information regarding start date, contractor arrival times, material deliveries and payment schedule exceeded our expectations. All contractors were friendly, professional, trustworthy, reliable and punctual. Their quality of work and attention to detail was of a high standard. They were respectful of our home and left everything clean and tidy at the end of each day. We love our new bathroom, the choice of materials, color scheme and updated fixtures have transformed the entire space. Design 1 Kitchen and Bath truly went beyond our expectations and we would definitely hire them again.Read More

We recently did our kitchen and bathrooms with Design 1. We were lucky to work with Kristen Boncore. She is very helpful with a lot of patient with us working through this project. Kristen and Design 1 were quite responsive and quickly addressed our issues. No delay! We are happy with the what the project turns out. Love our kitchen and bathrooms. HsinRead More

We had a very good experience working with Design 1 Kitchen & Bath. We used both their design and construction services, and were very happy with both. Our project was to remodel the kitchen and an upstairs bathroom. In both cases, the footprint of the rooms did not change. In the kitchen they took everything down to the studs, and widened a door opening from a single door to a double French door opening, and on another wall they moved a doorway a few feet to the left and made it an archway to match archways we have in other parts of the house. They also put in new recessed lighting, installed all new cabinetry and appliances. The bathroom was a remodel as well and the framework of the room remained the same. They removed an old iron bathtub and replaced it with a walk-in shower, plus all new vanity, toilet, sink, mirror, lighting, etc... Working with the construction coordinator (Mike) was easy, and we found him to be helpful, knowledgeable and responsive via both email and text. Working with the designer (Kristen) was also easy and we found her super helpful as she walked us through the process of making all the necessary decisions. She understood our style very well and made excellent suggestions that matched our vision for these rooms in terms of cabinet style, color and texture of tiles, paint colors, and lighting. We would definitely work with Design 1 Kitchen & Bath again.Read More

Review of Project 6109 Spa Breeze: We had an extremely positive experience working with Design 1 for our recent bathroom remodel. It was a joy to work with our designer, Eliza (and the Design1 Team). From our first consultation meeting, we knew we were working with an outstanding designer! Eliza is so talented with creative problem-solving skills and demonstrates exceptional patience, listening and collaboration abilities. She is a true master of the field of design and helped us make just the right design decisions. Eliza and Design 1 supported us through the project milestones with excellent customer service. Our bathroom project outcome so exceeded our expectations. Eliza and the Design 1 Team and our outstanding contractor were the reason. We just love our new bathroom! We are so thrilled with our bathroom remodel that we have already started our kitchen remodel project with Eliza and Design 1. We confidently recommend Design 1 with the highest level of satisfaction.Read More

I shopped around for kitchen designers before settling on working with Design 1 Kitchen & Bath. Design 1 is expert at what they do. They have a great sense of taste in interior design and aesthetics, and they are almost immediately responsive. My experience working with them was that I could spend almost all of my time deciding among recommended designs beginning with Design 1's recommendations, and then Design 1 would execute almost all of the rest. Their recommendations for suppliers and fabricators are excellent. My biggest job was finding a quality, affordable, and reliable contractor. Lastly, my designer, Kaytlyn, was a real pleasure to work with.Read More

We had a great experience working with Design 1 to remodel our kitchen and would recommend them without reservation. Kaytlyn guided us through the entire process with humor and skill. She is both creative and practical — and vey easy to work with! Design 1 was recommended by two friends who also had very positive experiences.Read More

The team at Design 1 are all very easy to work with and have a varied array of cabinetry to choose from. We had a very unique project and Kaytlyn provided us with a fantastic layout and incorporated our ideas.Read More

Very organized from initial visit with pricing, design and scheduling. All quality products and quality installation. Worked closely with us on budgeting, timing and coordination of all installs. Very pleased with the final outcome!! Highly recommend them for any kitchen or bath transformation!!Read More

Thrilled, Positively Pleased, Delighted, and Thankful are just a few of the words that describe how we feel about the new bathroom Design 1 Kitchen & Bath created for us. From the first day we walked into their showroom we were taken excellent care of. We knew immediately Design 1 was the team we wanted to work with. Both Mike and Kristen guided us through every stage, every choice, every question. The showroom was such that we were always able to see what we were buying. Our project was a total gut and rebuild, and entailed much more than I imagined. They made it smooth and approachable. In a complex project like this so many things could go wrong, and they didn’t. Mike was responsive and on top of the project at all times. Without Kristen I would have been lost in overwhelm. Her keen eye, her attention to detail, and her great taste helped us create the beautiful bathroom we’ve waited so long for. WE LOVE IT!!Read More

This was our 2nd project with Design 1, as we had worked with the designers on our kitchen back in 2019-2020. Our home is over 100 years old, and this bathroom was long overdue for an upgrade. I knew the color scheme and design I wanted, but Eliza and the team were wonderful to work with in helping source all of the items to pull this bathroom together. In addition, the team stays organized and communicates well with the construction team. The plumbing needed updated and that set the project back a bit, but it was all worth it to end up with this calm, clean, and beautiful new space in our home. Thanks again, Design 1!Read More

This was our second experience working with the Design 1 team on a home project. The management and coordination was excellent, and the process felt as streamlined and headache-free as possible given supply chain considerations.Read More

We worked with the Design 1 KB team on a full renovation of our master bathroom. It was great working with the design team in the showroom with access to looks of different physical samples instead of just catalog or online samples. The design team's inputs on style and colors really helped finalize the design choices quickly. We decided to go with a modern, open concept "wet room" design. The build team did a great job ordering and scheduling all the component deliveries, and providing consistent communication throughout the project. The demolition phase went smoothly, including the modification of the floor joists for the sloped shower drain. All of the trades people (plumbing, tiling, electrical) were very professional and timely. The tiling and stonework were superb. We really love the finished project and would definitely work with Design 1 KB again!Read More

The staff and owner at Design 1 are professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly people to the utmost. My new kitchen was very important to me, and Design 1 immediately knew which path (in the wilderness) to follow, offered suggestions, and helped me make decisions that I found difficult—(not that I didn’t have many ideas of my own, all of which were incorporated). The layout was done precisely and each stage of the project went smoothly and quickly. After the work started, I was extra pleased with the hired workers who did an excellent job across the board. I recommend without reservation Design 1 to all who wish to remodel their kitchen or bath.Read More

The service provided to me from the entire staff at Design 1 Kitchen & Bath was outstanding. They helped me through the entire process of adding a master bath to my home and their professionalism, performance and support was incredible. I highly recommend the entire team!Read More

Once I spoke with Kaytlyn, I knew that I was going to use Design 1 to renovate our kitchen/dining area. My husband and I found Kaytkyn and her team to be knowledgeable in their redesign of our space. Kaytlyn, is warm, friendly and pleasant to talk to. She makes you feel very comfortable with the choices she made for us. The transformation of our space has far exceeded our expectations! Thank you Design 1 for turning our dream into reality. Isilda and LouisRead More

Always straightforward, never missed a commitment date, checked in regularly; always kept us updated on progress. Handled every little glitch (and there were only a very few) very professionally and promptly. We were especially impressed with the contractors they used and how all the contractors worked so easily together. The quality of the work is terrific! We're very happy with Design1 and all their people, especially Mike Kirtland who honcho-ed the whole process. We don't plan on ever doing another kitchen but, if we did, we'd certainly choose Design1.Read More

Enjoyed working with Kristen and Mike as well as the crews, all very professional. Kristen's suggestions for design were spot on. During pandemic some things went slower than expected, but that's life. Would work with them again.Read More

We just completed our second major project with Design 1 Kitchen & Bath. We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Kristen Boncore was amazing to work with. The design was beyond our imagination and she was always so helpful in every stage of the project. Mike Kirtland was an excellent project manager and so knowledgable about all aspects of the job. It was great that he was always thinking about potential issues and coming up with creative solutions. All the subcontractors were very professional and did very high quality work. Everybody at the office is always so helpful and friendly when we call. We would definitely use them again and highly recommend them.Read More

We had an idea of what we wanted for our new kitchen but our designer Katlyn helped steer us to exceptional choices that we did not Originally envision. She was patient with us as we took our time bringing home samples She provided to make the right choices for our dream kitchen. We wanted white painted cabinets but were concerned it would be too white and cookie cutter. She worked with us on all aspects from cabinet hardware to lighting fIxtures to paint for total coordination and design complements Giving us a unique design. Even throughout construction she and her team helped us make decisions on things like outlet wall plates and finishes for complementing walls. It was a great experience and we have a beautiful functional forever kitchen.Read More

Kaytlyn and team were wonderful to work with. I had the colors and feel of our spaces in my brain but needed pros to help me figure out the best layout and design for what I was envisioning. They did just that and I couldn't be happier with how our kitchen and bathroom turned out! It is truly my dream space. Kaytlyn really took the time to see my vision and to assist in creating what we wanted for our family. They also make it so helpful for the contractor by keeping everything so organized throughout the construction and installation process. I highly recommend Design 1.Read More

The entire team was a pleasure to work with, and our remodeled kitchen turned out wonderfully. They recommended a new configuration that has made the space much more usable; it is a joy to have everything in a logical place now. Eliza was extremely patient with us during the selection process, Mike was clear about the construction timelines, and everyone who came on site was pleasant and professional. The team was very responsive to all of our questions along the way. We highly recommend them and hope to work with them on future projects.Read More

We were very pleased with our kitchen renovation project. The team was extremely well-oiled and very professional, making the process as smooth and non-disruptive to our lives as could have been hoped. We felt very confident in the team's expertise and recommendations, and the end result is exactly what we'd hoped for... highly recommend!Read More

I can't say enough good things about Design 1 Kitchen & Bath. The huge job of renovating my old kitchen was surprisingly pain free thanks to their great professionalism, efficiency, transparent pricing and impeccable workmanship. They did a beautiful job and were a pleasure to work with. I wholeheartedly recommend them for kitchen renovation.Read More

Our contractors had recommended Design 1 Kitchen & Bath to us. We have entrusted our contractors in the past and decided to pay a visit to Design 1. Boy, are we glad we did! From our first initial visit, we were continually given unlimited time to meet with the designer, Kaytlyn. She explained everything in detail to us -- from the actual construction of the cabinets, to customizing the cabinets, knobs and beyond. Never once did we feel we were being rushed. Kaylyn was in constant communication with us during our extensive renovation -- of which, absolutely exceeded our expectations! Our kitchen turned out beautifully. Thank you to Kaytlyn and everyone at Design 1 Kitchen & Bath. And of course, a HUGE shout-out to our contractors, Fred and Carlos. Thank you, thank you, thank you.Read More

We waited a long time to upgrade our kitchen. And when we saw the right cabinets for us we decided to start the process! The cabinets were a display model from the Design 1 showroom. The mellow look of cherry was a perfect match for our house. Patrick, the store owner, created a design which highlighted our kitchen's size and shape and blended in with the connected family room. The staff were there every step of the way to answer questions, offer suggestions and support. Thank you Design 1, we couldn't be happier with the result.Read More

We decided to go with Design 1 for our recent kitchen update and bath re-design project. We were very impressed with the professionalism we encountered working with Mike, Kaytlyn, Kristen and Eliza. They made the planning process simple and guided us through the selection and pairing of the various items we needed to make decisions on. When the project started we were able to have our questions answered and items addressed as they were happening. The project was run very smoothly with minimal disruption to our daily routine. The subcontractors were also high quality and easy to work with. We are very happy with the results and would highly recommend Design 1 to anyone looking for a quality all-in-one company for their next kitchen/bath home building project. Bill & AnnabelRead More

We had designed our kitchen with an architect. I went to a couple of kitchen design places for estimates. I loved Design 1’s showroom kitchen and chose the cabinets and countertops they had on display. Kaytlyn helped me select all the materials and colors. She did this while respecting our tastes and preferences, and providing guidance when needed. In addition, Kaytlyn made functional and visual improvement to our kitchen design. Design 1 put together a site book for our contractor to follow. This made the construction work go smoothly. We are very happy with our new kitchen and the work Design 1 has done for us.Read More

Mike and his team did a great job on my partial kitchen remodel. They carefully listened to my needs and came up with a great plan to fit a 48" commercial range and hood into my existing kitchen. His carpenter was excellent and was able to rework a cabinet to accommodate a new wine fridge. While remodels can often look like remodels, my kitchen looks like it has always been this way, only better! After sale service was great as well. One of my newly installed soft close drawers needed a small fix after the project was complete and Mike was quick to come over and make the repair.Read More

I am very happy with the complete bath remodel done for me by Design 1 Kitchen and Bath. Kristen is talented designer and knows the materials and products well. She put in a lot of work finding things I would like to create a harmonious whole. She was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Mike is a very resourceful and knowledgeable man, prompt to resolve the inevitable little problems that arise with a remodel. He stayed on top of things and responded quickly to my concerns. He seemed to be always calm and positive. The quality of the work overall was very good and the tiling in particular was outstanding.Read More

Design 1 was the perfect design build solution for us. We are a busy family with very little knowledge about design. The whole team at Design 1 was incredibly helpful and ultimately created our dream kitchen. We love it!Read More

We are extremely pleased with both the staff at Design 1 and the resulting kitchen as well. I was pretty clueless on what I wanted and they patiently walked me through everything. The timing of the work was as promised - both the start and finish. Our kitchen is wonderful and we have received many compliments on it.Read More

I hired Mike Kirtland at Design 1 Kitchen and Bath to get our total kitchen renovation to the finish line - having worked unsuccessfully for months with another designer. Mike was responsive and quick to recognize when I/we needed immediate help. He was always cordial, thorough and knowledgeable. We had a good give and take on design modifications. I wrote to him about 5 months after completion to tell him how happy we are with the results.Read More

I am the proud owner of Houzz project 2144. I love it! Kaytlyn Constantinou and her staff were fantastic. Very helpful, always willing to answer any question. I enjoy cooking and knew a lot of what I wanted in the kitchen and its feel, but Kaytlyn was able to give me what I wanted and improved on it with design and materials selection. The house is a dream to live in and the kitchen makes cooking even more enjoyable.Read More

JJ Supple, our amazing GC recommended Design 1 as an excellent designer for our Deck House kitchen remodel. Kaytlyn Constantinou and her team were professional, flexible and creative. We had a vision for what we wanted and she was able to guide us in the right direction as far as cabinetry, lighting, finishes and maximizing the space that would work with our lifestyle. Our kitchen is now the central place of our home and we love using it from entertaining to cooking, storage and even sitting looking at our gardens from our amazing breakfast bar...We would recommend Design 1 and Ms Constantinou to anyone who wants functional yet creative, innovative designs for their home. We cannot wait to start our bathroom remodel with Design 1! Thank you Design 1! Amy Shroff, VMD and Howard Greenblatt, Wayland, MARead More

Best transformation I have ever seen! The entire staff at Design 1 in Bedford, MA was so helpful with the planning and designing of the kitchen. They spent lots of time with me to make sure I was getting everything I wanted in the kitchen. All materials used in the construction are of excellent quality. Everything came from Design 1 . One stop and choose everything for the kitchen! I highly recommend Design 1 to anyone doing a kitchen! You will love it!!!Read More

The team at Design 1 was very professional and helpful. Since I was a complete novice at this scale of renovation, I found Kaytlyn, in particular, to be really supportive as she guided me through each step of the process. She showed me the range of possibilities and had some wonderful ideas, without overwhelming me with choices. Best of all, they helped me stay within my budget and still get design the kitchen of my dreams–something I've waited a long time for.Read More

I had read a few reviews regarding the service that other customer had received from Design 1 and was sure that I needed to at least speak with them. I had an appointment with Mike Kirkland and was pretty certain that I wanted to work with Mike and Design 1 to make my dream kitchen a reality. I had many ideas and was already using Houzz to capture my ideas which made explaining my vision, wish list much easier. Mike developed a few plans to start with and we would review them until my vision was pretty much a reality on the design plan. Mike and the staff at Design 1 had many great ideas, they were always willing to talk with me to offer advice, propose alternate suggestions during each step of the process. They brought up items that I had not even considered in my plan for the kitchen, together we created what I truly consider my dream kitchen. Phil (and his team) was the contractor on the project and provided outstanding work, each area of my kitchen reflect a true master craftsman that showed attention to detail and pride in his work. Phil’s knowledge and suggestion added to a kitchen that I love walking into every day.Read More

Having seen the design and implementation of our neighbors kitchen/eating area, it is no wonder that this designer knows what he is doing! We have had him do our bathroom with absolute perfection!Read More

We just finished our third bathroom redesign project with Design1. Highly recommend them. This project was a complete gut and remodel of a 35-year-old bathroom. The designer listened to our ideas and desires and pulled together an initial design for us. When the cost estimate was too high, they continued to work with us to find more affordable substitutions until the project met our dreams as well as our budget. While they do installations, we chose instead to use our own contractor, which was not a problem for them at all. They provided a well-organized design binder with all the drawings and specs, which our contractor was very impressed with. And they were always responsive to questions that came up. The staff at Design1 kept us informed about material deliveries, and kept up with us during the construction phase. They even handled a few substitutions when we changed our minds. And when we found one delivery included the wrong part, they had the right part delivered to our door the next morning. There isn't a person who walks into the new bathroom and doesn't say, "Wow!"Read More

Gut and remodel of a small master bathroom. Kaytlyn was essential to the project as we never would have created such a beautiful and simple space nor found the elegant finishes on our own. The whole team has high standards. Phil and his team are meticulous with the installation. Have worked with them on a second project already.Read More

Kitchen remodeling is never easy, but Mike Kirkland of Design One led us through the process with a minimum of disruption! The schedule was accurate; the craftspeople were top-notch, pleasant to work with, on time and they cleaned up and removed all trash. We are delighted with the result.Read More

We decided to renovate the kitchen in our 200+ year old farmhouse in Massachusetts and our favorite building company Coughlin and Shea, recommended working with Mike Kirtland at Design 1. He designed us a beautiful light and bright family kitchen whilst retaining some of the original features, the exposed beams, the mantelpiece and woodstove. He was a delight to work with, always available and patient and totally removed all stress and anxiety we might have had. Clearly with a house as old as ours it was a challenge, no ceiling, floor or wall was straight or level but Mike was calm and comfortable with it all, and so kept us calm and comfortable throughout the entire project. We totally recommend Design 1 and are so happy with our choices of everything we picked out. Timewise everything arrived when it should, there were no holdups and our kitchen is gorgeous! Many thanks Design 1.Read More

Love this place, and all the employees, especially designer Kaytlyn Constantinou! A year and a half ago I purchased a condo with a tiny outdated kitchen and dining room. Kaytlyn had a vision the minute she saw it. I gave her free reign over the design of the kitchen and renovation which included taking down a wall. I never would have taken this on myself, but I trusted her vision. Now I have a kitchen that opens up to the rest of my downstairs. I absolutely love it every time I walk in the door and see it! Kaytlyn oversaw the whole project with no problems whatsoever. In fact, she also took on additional projects so that I could move into a completed condo within the 2 months I had allotted. I would not think about using another company for any project without consulting with Design 1 and Kaytlyn first!Read More

Design 1 Kitchen & Bath renovated our kitchen and family room, and upgraded our electrical (200 AMP service). The entire process went smoothly, from first design to execution of the finishing touches. Mike took us step-by-step through the design process, showing us many options (with pricing), and providing valuable opinions on what would and would not work. Phil was the foreman and regularly communicated what was to be done and by when. The craftsmanship was outstanding. The entire project was a great success and we could not be happier with our new kitchen and family room. We highly recommend Design 1 Kitchen and Bath.Read More

In remodeling our kitchen, we had a great experience working with Design 1 Kitchen & Bath. Mike Kirtland made several trips to our house, making sure his ideas for the layout would work. We left the design up to him and he came up with many different options. He was very patient and made sure all our needs were met. Mike was very honest with us about choosing a beautiful cabinet style in our budget. They give you so many different options with color, edging and overall style, it's like getting them custom made. My kitchen is beautiful and so functional. Everything has a spot and we have so much storage space! We couldn't be happier!Read More

We used Design 1 Kitchen & Bath for our kitchen remodel in the fall of 2011, by a recommedation from our contractor. We worked with Mike and he was amazing. He came out to our house and gave us a few different options that would work well in the space. He met with us several times to figure out options to utilize the space in the best way to provide ample storage and reconfigure specific areas to meet our needs and taste. He showed us multiple options to keep us within our budget and provided us with a beautiful kitchen that we could not be happier with. The entire staff at Design 1 was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend them!Read More

We used Mike Kirtland at Design 1 for our new construction. Overall, he designed our kitchen and four bathrooms for us which all turned out beautiful. We were also working with a builder so we had to design all of these projects very quickly and thoroughly. Mike was very patient and had a wonderful eye for design details. He helped us meet all the deadlines and had a strong knowledge of the product. We would definitely recommend Mike and the entire team at Design 1!Read More

We were shopping for cabinets and decided to get them from Mike Kirtland at Design 1 because we felt comfortable dealing with him due his level of knowledge and great personality. Working with Mike was a pleasure and he was great at dealing with our contractor and helping resolve any issues. We has some interaction with other members of the Design 1 team and they were very helpful as well. Overall, Design 1 offered great products, nice displays and great customer service. Highly recommended!Read More

I used Design 1 Kitchen & Bath for my recent kitchen remodel. The company was recommended by my contractor. Our designer, Mike Kirtland was extremely helpful to us. He was knowledgeable about all of their products. He was extremely reliable, always met timelines and also kept us aware of deadlines that allowed us to take advantage of special offers and discounts. He also made suggestions for different configurations of cabinets that allowed us to maximize our small space. When we encountered problems during the project (e.g., one of our cabinets was the wrong size) Mike was swift to step in and take care of it. And of course I changed my mind while the project was in progress! Mike worked with the other subcontractors to make sure the changes were implemented. The company uses computer technology to mock up your kitchen and then you can view it, and changes to the plan, on a television screen. We also were happy to find that we could select everything we needed at D1KB, including hardware and counter tops. The quality of the cabinets is exceptional. Even so there were some tiny flaws in the finish. Mike addressed this immediately with the manufacturers and replaced the defective doors. Mike made a lot of suggestions that helped us to make better decisions so that the final project was exactly what we wanted. I have to say, without his help, the project would have been a lot more effortful for us and we would not have been as pleased with the end result. I would recommend Mike and D1KB without reservation.Read More

We have a fabulous new kitchen and master bath thanks to the wonderful people at Design 1. They completed our wonderful new kitchen in 2011. We were so happy that we went right back to them last year to redo our master bath. It had a shower and a jacuzzi tub. We never used the tub, as we are dedicated shower users. The bathroom also lacked storage for linens. The redesign included a huge shower with custom glass, and a large linen closet. I took in a painting we love and they helped me develop a color scheme from that, which included wall and floor tiles, quartz counters and shower seat, and incredible decorative glass "wave" tiles. I wanted it to be natural looking but also dramatic. They pulled it off with ease! Three cheers for Mike Kirtland and all of the others at Design 1 who weighed in. They were with us every step of the way and we recommend Design 1 to everyone.Read More

Design 1 helped design my kitchen, I couldn’t be happier with the process or the results! Mike was great at integrating some functional features into a limited space and on a limited budget as Kaytlyn helped coordinate finishes and balance select high end touches to get me a kitchen that surpassed my expectations while maintaining my budget.Read More
