For a large percentage of the population, the kitchen is the busiest room in the home. There's no doubt that kitchen design is one of the first rooms home-owners want to remodel. While you want a kitchen design that reflects your taste, it's also important the remodel has a seamless flow of traffic through the room.
Most kitchen remodeling projects begin because the client needs more space, functionality and storage. Whether you want to create an open kitchen design or reconfigure the room to accommodate entertaining or homework stations, First Impressions Interior Design has experience in all styles of kitchen designs: traditional kitchens, transitional kitchens and modern kitchen designs.

Carol was a wonderful interior designer. She started helping us pick up wall colors the first day we met her and she was very accommodating of our busy schedules. She listened to our ideas and what we envisioned and put together a beautiful great room and master bedroom. I really liked how she guided our vision and not imposed hers. I was impressed by her knowledge and connections in her field. She made sure that the project was completed in a timely manner and she was a joy to work with.
Recently, we made the decision to have our master bath and bedroom remodeled after 35 yrs. over the years we have known Carol and had her help us with the decorating in both the living room and family room. Having remodeled the kitchen eight yrs ago, we thought this project would be much easier.Although the kitchen was a major project, the master bath and bedroom are much more personal areas where one goes to relax and unwind. This project involved taking some of the linen closet space so that we could make our shower larger. That meant taking all items out of closet to be stored in other bedrooms. My husband wanted a walk in closet so all clothes had to be emptied out of each other’s closets.
This also meant sharing our other smaller bathroom with my husband, not an easy task for two people. We couldn’t have managed this without an excellent contractor and his great team and certainly not without Carol’s expertise. Carol has a gift of pulling every detail together with a great eye for color and the ability to listen to our ideas and know the colors that we like.
Thanks Carol, we never could have done this project on our own. The end result is gorgeous, we will enjoy it for years to come. The contractor you suggested, Jim Davidson and his crew were a pleasure to have in our home, they were amazing! I would certainly recommend them with their ability to work quietly, maticulously and dependability. They have done an outstanding job with attention to detail the bathroom and walk in closet are fine examples of their work!
Thru the years ,Carol has ALWAYS been my #1 ‘go to’ for Interior Design projects! She is prompt, efficient, knowledgeable and works within your budget. I have always been very happy with the results, not only in MY home but other friends that I have recommended her to. She has excellent taste and seems to be spot on when she brings her ideas to you. Highly recommend her!
