Real reviews from real San Diego homeowners
Lisa is absolutely outstanding! She was so careful to understand my vision, collect sources of inspiration, and help me narrow down my choices. I was in the midst of a bathroom remodel and became very overwhelmed by the finer details. Lisa met with me and various vendors in the area and shared her vision and experience to help me select the best materials for my project. She was so warm and friendly and I have referred her to friends who also have a project in mind!
Lisa is WONDERFUL! I needed to remodel a bathroom, and have never done something like this — picking out tile, fixtures, etc. is incredibly daunting because there are thousands and thousands of choices. Lisa honed in on my style and helped me pick out some beautiful choices quickly — she made an overwhelming task easy and fun. Highly recommended!!
When we remodeled our 1960’s ranch style home we knew we were going to gut the kitchen. Being new home owners on a budget we assumed we’d keep the same kitchen layout with a few minor changes. After consulting Lisa it was evident she had a much better vision. Having her completely redesign the kitchen was, by far, the best investment we made. After 19 years we are still reaping the rewards!

Our portfolio includes a range of kitchen and bathroom remodel design projects for San Diego County homeowners — from full gut renovations and layout reconfigurations to material-focused refreshes and primary suite bathroom transformations. Projects span communities including Chula Vista, Bonita, and surrounding areas. You can filter the project grid above by kitchen or bathroom to see work relevant to your project type.
We work across a wide range of design styles — from clean transitional and contemporary designs to warmer traditional and coastal aesthetics. Our approach is always tailored to the homeowner's preferences and the character of the home rather than a fixed house style. The projects in the portfolio reflect that variety. If you have a specific style direction in mind, we'd love to hear about it on a Discovery Call.
Some projects include both the design renderings and the completed construction photos, which gives you a clear picture of how accurately the design translates into the finished space. This before-and-after view — from 3D rendering to completed remodel — is one of the most useful ways to evaluate what professional design planning actually delivers in practice.
Absolutely. Every project starts from your vision, not ours. The portfolio represents completed work, but our design process is built around understanding your specific style preferences, lifestyle, and goals before a single recommendation is made. If you have inspiration images, a mood board, or simply a clear sense of what you don't like about your current space, that's all we need to get started.
Every project follows our three-phase process: planning and initial design, preparation and contractor coordination, and active oversight during construction. Lisa stays involved through every phase — from the first consultation to the final walkthrough — ensuring the finished result matches the original design intent. You can learn more about the full process on our services page.
We work with a range of budgets, from focused mid-range remodels to high-end full renovations. What matters most is that your budget is realistic for the scope you have in mind — and our budget development service is specifically designed to help you understand that before construction begins. The best first step is a free Discovery Call where we can discuss your project and make sure expectations are aligned from the start.
The easiest next step is to book a free Discovery Call or fill out our project inquiry form on the contact page. We respond within one business day. It's a no-pressure conversation — by the end you'll have a clear sense of how we work and exactly what next steps look like for your San Diego kitchen or bathroom remodel.
