Waldron Design just completed a total remodel of our kitchen and main bathroom. Rachel collaborated with us on our three major goals for both rooms- functionality, easy maintenance and beauty. She and her team were responsive in resolving the inevitable concerns that always come up during construction.
Rachel, her team and subcontractors were a pleasure to work with even during the chaotic and sometimes overwhelming process of construction while living in your home.
We love both our kitchen and bathroom every time we walk into them!
