Culinary Essentials is the perfect name for this shop because they carry everything you need and…read moremore for your cooking needs at every level! Tons of cute items and many practical items at reasonable prices. I could spend all day in the store but due to COVID, they're requesting you limit your browsing to 30 minutes or less. Luckily they're extremely friendly and I was able to get all my questions answered from the variety of coffee related products to comparing the soda stream options. Especially with this year and the holiday season approaching, I highly recommend checking out Culinary Essentials for any dining related gifts or kitchen upgrades as the personal attention is so valuable and to support local businesses!

We stopped by this store to brouse the aisles with no real intention to buy anything. The aisles…read morewere crowded with high quality cookware of every description. A delight for anyone who enjoys cooking. We spotted several items that would be great gifts... After talking with the very nice owners, I decided to buy my son (who lives in Ballard) some Christmas presents. We presented them with the problem that we would be returning to southern California, where my son will join us for Christmas. It didn't make sense to fly stuff down that he would then have to fly home. They suggested that I could buy the presents, I could give my son a card and the gift receipt, and he could collect the present when he came home. Genius! The owners put my gifts into a gift bag, topped it with crumpled purple tissue paper, and put it into the back to await my son's return.

I've used Luna to configure a fairly large project. They were very difficult to work with, with way…read moretoo much emotions from their design team, and way to focused on sending documents requiring me to sign away every stipulation of changes, that should be their responsibility. The project came together, but not with a lot of back and forth that wasn't necessary. I had to do a phase 2 effort, that I wanted to match the cabinets, but I can't even get them to respond to a design request. I don't know about their past, but 2024 through the beginning of 2025 makes them a non-viable vendor. Consider others that will be responsive and prioritize your project.

There was something about Terence when I first met him that I really liked. I kept his business card. I ended cancelling my order with my cabinet maker and set up an appointment with Terence. I really liked the style of cabinets he was offering and really connected with him. I found Terence to be very hard working and honest. He really wanted to help me achieve the modern look I was aiming for. We connected and developed a great working relationship! I had quite a job for him, a kitchen, walk in pantry and 3 bathrooms that all needed cabinets. He was attentive to details and very responsive with communications in his emails and texts. Terence has so many years of experience behind him. He is so good in trouble shooting areas that might need a little help. He is also very hands on and did some of the install himself. He inspected every single cabinet and adjusted them where it was needed. Terence has a great attitude, happy and so easy to get along with. I really enjoyed working with Terence. I trusted his insight and judgement. I even would ask him for his opinion on decorating my home and he was so helpful with his design tips. I highly recommend Luna Kitchens and Bath if you are seeking a beautiful kitchen/bath outcome!

I went out of my way to check out Seattle Interiors on Saturday- the Saturday after Black Friday. They were closed for the holiday! So, that was a complication, but I could see into their lovely showroom through the windows and I could see they had the faucets I wanted. So, I called just to check and boy was I glad I did- their price for the faucets was almost $200 less (each) than at Aurora Plumbing! I had some email back and forth sorting out the finish details and Mike was super helpful and pleasant, despite some stress on my part. They look like they've got a lovely selection of interesting designers. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to browse the showroom.

Beau is the best contractor we have ever worked with - very knowledgeable and experienced in all aspects of home renovation, trustworthy, hard working, detail oriented, high-quality results, responsive, and transparent. Beau and his crew were efficient and skilled at their craft. Highly recommend Beau and CK&B Seattle to anyone doing home renovation. Fantastic customer service and high-quality results - worth every penny and the investment we put into our home! We would not use any other contractor for future projects.

Beau is the best contractor we have ever worked with, bar none.  His attention to detail and his…read moreeye for design are both impeccable, and there is nothing we wouldn't trust him with.  He communicated clearly, kept us incredibly well-informed about the scope and timing of the project, and did everything he said he would, completing the project pretty much exactly when he expected to be finished, and on budget.  He gave us great advice throughout the process - including recommending when to order certain items, an impressive feat given the current global supply chain issues - in a way that was completely respectful and never pushy.  Our kitchen is now our favorite room in the house. A bit of background on our project: Beau dragged our kitchen from the 70s - no range vent, Formica countertops that buckled with the slightest pressure, cupboard doors that didn't fully close, to name a few issues - into the modern era.  This was a complete demolition, down to the studs, and rebuild.  Along the way, he removed an old chimney that ran from our basement, through the first floor, and into the attic; upgraded our hot water heater, and most of our old, galvanized plumbing; updated our electrical panel and removed a lot of knob-and-tube wiring; and widened our back door.  He had a clear understanding of what he could and could not do, and, for the latter, he had subcontractors lined up and ready to do the work.  Beau, his crew, and the subcontractors I interacted with, were all extremely pleasant, polite, helpful, and fun.  They were very nice to (and tolerant of) our pets, and did everything they could to make the process as unintrusive as possible.  They went above and beyond in so many ways, it's impossible to remember them all.  At the end of the project, the work was done as expected, was top-notch, and as much as we were glad to have the kitchen back, it was sad to see them go.

This store is located in the heart of Ballard on Leary Ave. There is a dedicated parking lot, however I chose street parking. Their showroom features vintage, mid-century modern, and high-end furnitures. They also have a decent amount of rugs, wall accents, room dividers, and paintings, and even cocktail sets. The prices are quite reasonable and they have measuring tapes available. If shipping is an issue, they also offer delivery through Uff Da Logistics for a fee. I in search for a record stand, however didn't exactly find one that fit my style. I did score on an antique chess set with case. The staff was very friendly and even offered to open other display cases so I can take a look at other items.
