Ellene is fantastic. Shes creative, kind, effective, helpful. She knows how to combine function and aesthetic. She took the time to ask us about what we need from our kitchen, looked at our inspiration pictures, and offered us sound guidance. We even ordered semi-custom cabinets through her at a VERY reasonable price. She took our tiny outdated kitchen and made it beautiful and functional. Complete with blueprints that were easy for our contractor to use. And 3D renderings that helped us visualize the space and make modifications before ordering cabinets. She even designed a laundry closet for us that has helped us so much! We plan to work with her again in our new home.

Ellene Newman KNOWS her stuff. She was meticulous in designing and planning out my kitchen space, while keeping in mind my personal needs. She spent hours on the phone helping me choose the right appliances and has been on call every step of the way as my kitchen came into fruition. I cant recommend her more highly.

We did a full kitchen remodel, as well as dining room cabinets, and we are extremely happy with the work of Ellene Newman in the design, planning, and cabinetry. We love the unique look of our bamboo kitchen cabinets, and are very impressed with Ellenes skills in maximizing space. In our dining room, the beautiful cherry wood cabinets, complete with glass doors, really enhances our dining room and gives us a great deal of additional storage space. Ellene spent a great deal of time understanding our needs, coming up with multiple design options, and even measuring our pots and pans to determine optimal placement in our new kitchen! Our contractor was very impressed with the quality of the cabinets, and we can tell they were built to last a long time.Ellene went above and beyond kitchen design, space planning, and ordering cabinets. She assisted us with advice in flooring and counter options, cabinet hardware, as well as lighting layout. She was available throughout the entire project, working with us, our decorator, and our contractor, to provide advice and ensure the best results. It was a pleasure working with her and we highly recommend her!

The opportunity to design our own kitchen came with overwhelming possibilities. Ellene helped us navigate all the options, and created a kitchen design that we love! With great attention to detail, she made sure every inch of space we had to work with was utilized. We were so happy with the results, we are already working with Ellene on a new project!
