Kitchen and Bathroom design has been my passion for the last 10+ years. I continue to enjoy guiding clients through the design process. Thoughtful design solutions, custom details, original products hand crafted by talented artisans and unique one of a kind architectural finds ensure each space is a one of a kind work of art that truly highlights each clients personality.
Design Process
The remodeling process is one of the most expensive and nerve racking ways to spend your hard earned money. I understand this and feel that my roll in the process is to guide my clients through the design process and educate them on all of the options so they are able to make the right decision for their lifestyle, project and budget. That's why it is important to spend time listening to each client's specific goals and ideas right from the start.
Examples of projects that follow this process:
- Kitchen Remodeling
- Bathroom Remodeling
- Custom Cabinetry Drawings
- Tile Layout
- Much More....
The Initial Meeting takes place in-home/on the job site at which time we will discuss your thoughts and ideas and I will collect detailed information about the space and ask questions about how you currently use the space and what you see as your future needs. Once the information is gathered and all of your initial questions are answered I will take measurements and collect all of the information needed to start the design drawings.
Design Agreement
Once the design agreement is signed and design payment is made I start to process all of the information collected and begin with preliminary ideas and drawings.
Second Meeting
Let the excitement begin! This meeting consists of the design presentation of the preliminary drawings and discussion into any changes that need to be made.
Third Meeting
The design is really coming together and you are able to see floorplans and elevation drawings along with some finish selection at this time. In this meeting final changes are discussed and within 2 weeks the final composite drawings are processed and sent to you.
The Drawings are YOURS
By using this process you, the home owner are able to shop around for cabinetry and contractors that will fit your needs and budget. If needed, I can suggest proven professionals from my 10+ years experience in the remodeling business who can help you with your project.

What my clients are saying
“I just want you to know how much we are still enjoying our new kitchen. Honestly, it's as fabulous, useful and as loved as it was 18 months ago when it was completed. We LIVE in the kitchen-it meets all our needs and is just such a lovely and functional place to be. It is most definitely the heart of our home. Working with Araya and everyone was such a super experience. We've recommended you often! Hope all is well and you will definitely hear from us again if another project surfaces.
Kate M., Richfield, MN
We continue to love our kitchen and bathrooms, we receive many compliments on all of them. You did a fantastic job!!! Araya was easy to work with and our rooms turned out better than we could have imagined. Thanks again!
Gail M., Edina, MN
WOW, our kitchen project came together beautifully. We use it everyday, we never knew our house could fit our needs like it does. Instead of selling we are going to stay in our house! Thanks for all your help Araya, we could not have handled all the details without you. Our only regret: We wish we would have done the project sooner.
Leigh L., Golden Valley, MN
I had some idea of what I wanted, but Araya was able to take my ideas and bring them to the next level. Now we have a beautiful kitchen!! The process was everything we could have hoped and more. We LOVE our new kitchen!
Richard B., Crystal, MN
I wanted to use local products as much and possible and be earth conscious by using sustainable materials. I also didn't want a carbon copy kitchen. With Araya's help we were able to create a kitchen that is not only completely unique but also family safe and earth friendly.
