While the anticipation of a new kitchen or bathroom is a very exciting event, it is also a very complex process. I make the design and construction process fun, and less overwhelming. I give you confidence that you have made the right decisions in layout, finishes, fixtures and contractors.

I can secure trustworthy local contractors and craftsmen with the right skill set for your project, and guide you on how to prioritize your budget based on your needs and wants.I have partnerships with multiple local showrooms in the area, so I know who has the best cabinet line that will best meet your needs, and budget, which in turn saves you time and money!

As a child, I grew up watching my grandfather building and restoring old homes. I even have memories of being 10 years old, hammering nails into the framing of my grandparents house they spent 20 years in, so you can say I grew up surrounded by the construction industry. Professionally, I have been a part of our Capital Region and Saratoga's residential design industry since 2005.

What are the first things that come to mind when you are thinking about kitchen design? For a lot of homeowners, the basic foundation thought is likely to be the color scheme before going into individual details. For a professional designer, the first thing that will come to mind is the layout of the kitchen.

Marianne was a pleasure to work with on our first (and definitely not last) home renovation project. She spent more than enough time getting to know my style, preferences and budget, and helped me make design and product decisions with confidence. We went shopping together one afternoon looking for additional paint options, but having asked my future needs in advance, she saved me time and money on my next project by having us look at flooring for when I’m ready. The contractor she found was fantastic, trustworthy, and sensitive of my time and schedule. The project came out beautifully! Marianne

Marianne did a tremendous job with a kitchen and dining room remodel. She brought fresh ideas and blended those seamlessly with my personal taste and preferences. She is really easy to work with, knowledgeable, flexible and did an outstanding job. I can't recommend her highly enough, I'll definitely be using her for my bathroom remodel!

I highly recommend Marianne to help in designing any construction project you might thinking about doing. She is insightful and is able to look at your space/ project and make recommendations. We were putting in new windows and doors. It is amazing how well it turned out and updated our house.

Having lived in a few (mostly) older homes, we are no strangers to renovations. While most of them ended with satisfactory results, the process could be very stressful. So when we started to think about updating two small, outdated bathrooms in our current house, I wasn’t too anxious to get that process started. I accidentally came across Marianne’s website, and thought she might be able to make the process smoother. The reason that I initially asked for a consultation, is that her taste seemed to match ours. We had a few meetings to discuss our needs and get the process started. Marianne is

Marianne is amazing! She tackled a very strange bathroom layout and made it work. She listened to our needs and our budget and designed not one, but two beautiful bathrooms! She handled problems well and was outstanding in communicating issues, resolutions and alternatives. I highly recommend.
