"We had a horrible disaster in our kitchen, caused by an insidious flood from our dishwasher. Our kitchen is the heart of our home, and it was broken .
Friends encouraged me to try to have a positive outlook on this disaster. That this was an opportunity to improve the functionality of our kitchen. How to do that was a conundrum to me.
Fortunately we met with a design wizard by the name of ,Rachael Cardinal. She is truly gifted. My kitchen is a dream come true, the nightmares the destruction from the flood is long over, lost in the perfect functionality of my beautiful kitchen. Rachael, thought up so many creative, handy nuances, that make working in my kitchen, and keeping it clean , a piece of cake. We are looking forward to wowing ,Rachael, on a planned renovation. Can’t wait to see what magic she creates next in my home. I will work with no one else. I highly recommend her. She’s magical.

We met Rachel a year ago. We had just recently moved to the area and were going to start the process of remodeling a home that we have owned for many years as a rental property and turning it into a home for us to live in. We needed to do a lot of work in many areas.
We started with the kitchen and all floors throughout the home with the bathrooms to follow.
We remember that first time we met Rachel. Rachel greeted us and asked what she could help with and what kind of
project(s) were we working on. That day, we were able to choose our granite counter tops for the kitchen. She took us to the slab room asked questions and knew exactly where to take us. We purchased the slabs right then and there. We brought in drawings and pictures so that we would be prepared. She gave advice on book matching the slabs and said we'd have enough to have a custom sink. After helping us for awhile she gathered mental notes about our style and how we would like to use the area. It was truly an amazing experience. She gave us names of fabricators and noted the three on the list that would most likely be the best fit for us based on everything we discussed with her. We chose one of the fabricators and were very happy with her recommendations.
Rachel has this amazing ability to help you just by listening. She takes all things into consideration even if we forgot about a detail. She knows about each and every piece of granite, tile, marble, etc., in there. She knows about everything that it takes to put your project together. We have left many times saying that it's amazing that she knows so much and knows everything by it's name and its purpose.
Rachel is professional but fun, very knowledgeable and she has a gift of knowing style and design and keeping things on budget, and if the budget looks like it may go over she has a solution to keeping it close. Rachel has another gift of knowing all of her vendors / contractors in the business and what their specialties are.
We had a huge problem in our home and she was able to direct us to help. She called 4 contractors and tried to help us resolve this very stressful problem. Because of her helping us we were able to meet with all 4 contractors and get 4 different pieces of advice. The help given cannot be measured. We are forever grateful for her help. The problem will soon be resolved.
Rachel is incredible at design. She knew it was important for us to keep the integrity of the type of house and the land that it is on in tact. We were able to keep the continuity of how the house flows with her help. She is great at color matching and style matching while designing.
Sincerely,
