    I recently collaborated with Kristin McRae on my kitchen cabinet design. We selected Sollera cabinets from a Canadian company. I am probably one of the most difficult clients because my requirements are not typical: - Schedule: I wanted my cabinets delivered in 3 months, right before Thanksgiving. - Precision: The cabinet design should be error-free to save time during install. They must fit into existing plumbing and electrical. - Style: I need a designer who can understand my aesthetics and overall vision for the design. You can see from the pictures that my cabinets are not typical ones that are trending on Pinterest. I want the design to be artistically balanced, personalized to my taste and decor, timeless, and have vintage vibes. - Cost: I need a designer who can understand trade-offs between cost and functionality. I know my kitchen and how to use it. I don't need fancy features. For example, I made a conscious decision NOT to include 2 Lazy Susans that not only impacted the aesthetic of the overall design but also increased cost and appeared to be useless for my application (my kitchen is big. I don't need optimize every little space.). Instead I added 6 big drawers as focal points. They provide plenty of useful space. - Practicality: I need a designer who understands what it takes to keep a kitchen clean and functional. She should be able to communicate and advise with logical reasoning. - Flexible: I like to explore design options until I am satisfied with the final version. I need to understand pros/cons and visualize design choices until I am happy with the results. I don't like to be rushed. Kristin turned out to be THE dream designer, who met all my requirements. I lost counts of how many times we restarted from scratch. Her flexibility, patience, and experience allowed me to come up with a design that is not only practical but also aesthetically pleasing. Just to show how patient and flexible she was: when I presented a new vent hood spec at the last minute, she changed her design to accommodate it because she understood I had been searching for an ideal hood throughout the design phase. She also spent an extra week validating the entire design to ensure everything is perfect. Her attention to details is even more than mine so I trusted her completely. After care: Kristin not only ordered VIP delivery service (making the experience stress-free for me: I didn't have to account for all the boxes delivered), she provided a diagram mapping cabinet ids to her design (making the installation easy), she made herself available for questions to my installers, and when there were damages during installation, she facilitated immediate reorder of the cabinet doors replacement at cost. Although there are many kitchen designers, the one that can be trusted with your dream is not easy to find. My advice is to find a designing company with not just good designers but also reputable cabinet manufacturers. Remember, everything in the kitchen can be updated with new materials, except the cabinets. Our old one lasted 60 years: it was made with solid maple. I expect mine to last another generation. It was a pleasure to work with Kristin. I will be sending friends to her as she is experienced, careful, detailed, and easy to work with. Kristin's kitchen cabinet design met our aesthetic vision, budget, functionality, and schedule.

    I absolutely loved working with Julie at Artistic Kitchen on our kitchen project. She was very knowledgeable and knew how to make our project happen. What I admire most about her is her ability to work around any problems and come up with even better solutions. Her attention to detail was key to making our kitchen look unique, beautiful, and functional. Going through a remodel is no easy task for anyone, but Julie made my experience a lot lighter by taking care of our kitchen. I felt at ease knowing that she was looking out for us and had our best interests in mind. Artistic Kitchen has a variety of products to choose from and in different budget ranges, but the value that Julie provides is invaluable! Will always recommend her to any of our friends and family who are going through a remodel, and I hope we are lucky enough to work with her again.

    We worked with Julie to pick and design cabinets for an addition to our home. It took us awhile to make up our minds with all the possibilities, but Julie was there every step of the way to make sure the final choices we made turned out amazing!

    When we embarked on our journey to remodel our 1980s Kitchen we shopped around at a lot of cabinet vendors. Most vendors came short on their ability to customise the cabinets to what I wanted or they didn't seem to have great problem solving solutions for us. We happen to stumble upon Artistic Kitchen and boy are we so happy we did. I loved their show room set up. I saw all the configurations I wanted in my new kitchen and for the first time since I started planning the remodel I was excited! We worked with Kristin and she helped design out kitchen layout for us. I absolutely loved how she gave us options as to how we can attain all my wish lists items and still have a beautiful layout. She came to the house to look at what we had. Took all the measurements so she would be able to draw up the designs. Then asked me the most important question. What is it you don't like about your kitchen? That for me was heart warming as I felt finally some one wants to understand why I want and better understand our needs. She had us come in a few times to the shop And work on the design layout until we were happy. I seriously appreciate that we had time to figure out what we wanted as it's tough to decide everything in one day. Plus We didn't feel pushed or pressured to making a decision right on the spot. Kristin helped us pick the right cabinet manufacturer and I am really glad we went with crystal cabinets. The feel of the cabinets is amazing. Solid wood and beautiful craftsmanship. I absolutely love them. We unfortunately didn't have a good cabinet installer and he made lots of errors. Kristin was quick to put me in touch with her contact "Robert" and he was able to come out and fix all the installation mistakes the other guy did. I can't say Thank you enough times on being part of our crazy journey and helping us get this fantastic result in the end. Thank you ever so much!!!

    We recently finished a job with Artistic Kitchen, I would highly recommend this place, and kudos to our designer Kristin McRae, she is awesome! Our project is vanity cabinets in several bathrooms, including a quite challenging irregular shaped one. We were sure we want to do crystal cabinets, so talked with a couple of dealers, Artistic was the top two we liked from our list (I hesitate putting it on our list in the beginning, we thought they only do kitchens, good to know they also do bathrooms and other places :) ). And the reason we finally decided to work with them is the professional advices and information from Kristin. And we are happy we made this decision, the process went quite smooth, we don't need to worry about it, only need to provide personal design preferences. The installation was not trivial, and the design team also helped with great advice to our GC. Appreciate that. I would recommend this place to my friends (actually already did), and consider working with them again if there are further projects.

From the first meeting, the team took the time to understand not just how we use the space, but also what kind of atmosphere we wanted for family dinners and evenings with friends. They proposed solutions that were modern yet warm, clean lines natural materials and lighting choices that make the space feel inviting without being overdesigned. What I really appreciated was their attention to detail. Things like flow between the kitchen and dining area, sightlines to the garden and even how the furniture would interact with the architecture, all of it was considered. Communication was excellent throughout: clear updates, quick responses and they navigated the city requirements smoothly so I didn't have to. The result feels both stylish and deeply livable. Hosting dinners now feels effortless, the layout encourages conversation and the finishes add just the right amount of elegance. If you care about design that balances beauty with functionality, this team delivers. They're not just designing a house, they're designing a home.

After talking to a few different firms, Kanika Design just felt like the right fit. Kanika really listened to what we wanted. I've always been a bit nervous about using bold colors, but she pushed us (in a good way!) for a deeper color palette in the main living areas. It looks incredible. Kanika found us so many unique, high-quality furniture pieces that you just won't find at a big-box store. The biggest thing for us was logistics. Once the design process completed, their team handled everything - architectural, permit headache, and construction. Anyone who has done a remodel knows things never go 100% perfectly, but whenever an issue popped up, they were on top of it immediately. They kept the contractors moving and kept us updated on the budget and what was happening next. It's a relief to finally be done after 2 years and have a home that feels like us but way better. I can't recommend Kanika and her team enough. We're still obsessed with how everything turned out.

The level of detail and thoroughness when it came to how the spaces were designed really showed Pam and Erwin's level of expertise. Pam and Erwin had our dreams, vision, and best interest in mind. From the initial space planning for the kitchen and master bathroom, the layout of slabs, tile and cabinetry, selection of all the finish materials, colors, fixtures and hardware, they were very professional to work with. Details matter to us, and their attention to detail is apparent in our finished home. They referred excellent vendors and suggested the best, high end and quality finishes and materials. Most importantly, Pam and Erwin's work ethics are unbeatable, and they made sure we got everything we wanted on our checklist. From start to finish, the design process went smoothly, and the meetings and discussions were fun and productive. We gave them the creative freedom and trusted their design process and vision and our kitchen and bathroom remodel designs are masterpieces. We were so pleased with the quality of their work that we asked for Pam's help to furnish our house. Every room was beautifully designed with an understated sense of elegance and in tune with the architecture and surroundings.
