Lara’s Kitchen Design Process


  1. Initial Kitchen Design Consult: At our first meeting, we review everything you want and need for your kitchen so we can get a clear understanding of what should be incorporated in the designs. All of this information will act as the overview of the designs and scope of work.

  2. Take Kitchen Measurements: To successfully implement all the designs and begin the renderings and plans, we start by taking precise measurements of the space.

  3. Design Kitchen Layout & Cabinetry Details: Once measurements are taken, we prepare all the layouts, cabinetry and custom kitchen island plans. These will include lighting & electrical plans, appliance & plumbing fixture placement, and furniture layouts. 

  4. Review Kitchen Layout & Design Drawings: We present the initial design plans to you and gather your feedback to make any necessary adjustments.

  5. Kitchen Materials, Finishes, Fixtures, & Furniture Selections: Lara presents her selections for the best materials and finishes appropriate for your application, budget & style for cabinets, countertops, backsplashes, and flooring. Also presented for your review will be appliances, lighting & plumbing fixtures, tile, and furniture options.

  6. Kitchen Contractor Quotes & Purchasing: Upon your final design approvals, we will then gather estimates for your kitchen from contractors and carpenters. Choosing the right kitchen design team with expertise is crucial for a smooth process and we excel at helping you find the perfect team. We will guide you by creating detailed work lists and schedules. The purchasing will also begin to ensure all is ready to go before demolition even begins. We keep track of costs and help to maintain your kitchen budget requirements.

  7. Oversee Kitchen Renovation Construction & Installations: During the renovation, we meet regularly on site, inspecting the work, managing the budget, and keeping things moving along on schedule. Lara will personally oversee and manage all of the installations: cabinetry, countertops, tiles, etc., to make sure to get the job done perfectly.

  8. Final Kitchen Walkthrough/Complete Punch List: Once everything is installed, we conduct a final walkthrough and produce a punch list for any minor adjustments needed.  Lara and her team partner and commit to get every last item completed.
  9. Time to Plan a Party & Start Enjoying Your Dream Kitchen!
