We worked with Roya to design the cabinets for a kitchen remodel in our old Victorian. Roya is…read moresuper knowledgeable and experienced and has a wide selection of cabinet styles, which enabled us to match the original style of our house - Roya knew exactly what our old cabinets were and how to get something comparable now. She also provided excellent feedback on the kitchen layout - if she hadn't warned us that some parts of our design needed to be bigger or smaller than what we'd planned we would really regret it now! She also recommended an amazing fabricator for the countertops. The entire project turned out stunningly - the kitchen of our dreams! Can't recommend Kitchens of Los Gatos and Roya highly enough.

I explained to her what I like and what I don't like. She brought samples with her and gave me her expert advise on what kind of stone to use as well as what colors to choose for kitchen, bathrooms and floors. She helped me choose my color scheme for my walls throughout my house as well. I have an open floor plan and was unsure what colors to choose from room to room. I was amazed at how quickly she was able to pick the colors and was a little unsure at first but, It all turned out amazing, every room looks great. A lot of people have commented on the colors and how great the color choices are for the house. I am very happy with Catherine and her knowledge. I would highly recommend her.

We hired San Interior Design to help us redesign our kitchen. We were considering expanding the…read morehouse to accommodate a larger kitchen layout. Sanchali was instrumental in giving us design options that maximized the storage and counter space without having to expand the house footprint, saving us tens of thousands of dollars, giving us additional finds to re-pipe the house and remodel the master bath, including adding a steam shower! We are in the process of installing the tile backsplash which goes perfectly with the granite, cabinet color, flooring and paint color that Sanchali helped us select. She also helped take the stress out of the selections as a neutral 3rd party, as I have a hard time taking design risks, and my spouse may take a few too many! Our next project will be an office addition, and Sanchali will be there from the beginning through to the finish!

We recently remodeled our kitchen in San Jose, CA. Our 35+ year old kitchen was lacking serious…read morecounter/shelf space not to mention that all cabinets had seen their life. Our budget was tight as we have a college bound daughter's education to fund for next four years and another kid waiting in the wings to go to college in three years. Therefore, we could not opt to make changes to the available kitchen floor space. Sanchali provided a design to increase our cabinet space by closing backyard door from kitchen and instead placing a sliding patio door from our formal dining area. In addition, she suggested to drop the double wall oven as we hardly used the second oven and replace it with a single oven in the base cabinet. These changes allowed us to move our pantry in the area that was occupied by the door to our backyard and opened up a long counter top that we dearly needed. The net result was at least 20% more storage space along with nearly 50% more counter space without adding an square inch to the floor area!!! Her designs were key to identify a suitable contractor and get competitive bids on the project. The project took less than three weeks to complete. Sanchali was readily available throughout this project and provided key insights to ensure that our appliance specs were aligned with available cabinet space. The whole project along with moving the patio door ran shy of $22k, which was way below what we were getting quotes for just last year. The new kitchen looks beautiful with Cherry cabinets and granite counter-top. Even the new patio door also opened up view to our backyard from dining area. We couldn't be happier with the outcome including the service provided during this period.

I hired Kathy Sturr of Inside Out Designs to help us transition our son's room from the youthful…read morePottery Barn style he had outgrown and move him to a practical yet tasteful room befitting a high school-er as well as possibly college and beyond. At first, it seemed like a pretty straight forward project but as we got into we realized there were many challenging and potentially conflicting interests. There was the 'look n feel' and quality that we wanted to be consistent with our home; would he take these items with him to college and/or beyond or do we keep a 'guest room' in mind should he not take it with him; and our developed sense of style vs. his burgeoning and changing style. Accomplishing our son's design and décor preferences within our budget and taking short term and long term plans for the room into consideration could have been a frustration at best and a battleground at worst. Lastly, given the new school year was approaching and his room was a central place for homework, it was important the project get implemented quickly. Kathy was phenomenal at finding sources, styles, and solutions that fulfilled multiple criteria and with surprisingly nominal compromise. All of us felt our opinions and desires were heard and listened to. The scope of project: we went from twin to queen bed, his small desk evolved into a workstation and we added more space efficient bookcase all in a coordinated (versus matchy matchy) sophisticated and gently distressed 'shaker' styling. We added more sophisticated bedding and window treatments and Kathy helped us re-frame and reposition artwork so it was cohesive and impactful instead of its former scattered and disparate look. We now have a room that gives him a warm, inviting, mature look, is practical and supports his school needs and is classic enough to endure through college and beyond. And should he outgrow the look as he grows older, we have a beautiful guest room that resonates with the style or our home. Kathy was a pleasure to work with, attentive to every detail, and brought an eye for quality balanced by budget and needs. She easily managed different personalities and criteria, and kept the project on time and on budget. She was also able to blend custom with ready-made, online and retail store to help us get the most value for our money, manage our time effectively and allow us to be 'hands on' where seeing the quality first hand was important. We loved working with her and highly recommend her!
