Abbe recently helped us with a Kitchen renovation….To say that we are happy with Abbe‘s work would be a complete understatement.

I checked out the photos of Abbe’s latest project, drove to her open house the next day, and said, “you have to do my kitchen”! Her ideas were amazing (we got rid of the soffit that I was told wasn’t possible), got bigger cabinets on that side to match existing cabinets, opened up and framed my new larger window, added sconces to the cabinets around the s...

Abbe truly has an amazing eye for layout and design. She came up with a great layout for my beach house kitchen that I would have never dreamed of. She made my spall space very large and gave me a fabulously laid out kitchen. I cannot say enough great things about her. Simply put, she’s the best!
