Today I am going talking about one of the most important — yet often overlooked — keys to a successful kitchen or bath project: trust and mutual respect between the homeowner and designer.

Too often, clients second-guess their designer by consulting salespeople, subcontractors, or even neighbors. But if you've done your homework, checked references, and feel confident in the designer's past work — then trust should naturally follow.

I’ll also share a very personal and powerful story: a kitchen remodel that transformed into a full house rebuild after a devastating fire. What started as a simple kitchen design turned into a multi-year journey of trust, collaboration, and creativity with my clients. You’ll hear about:

  • Why clear communication and shared goals matter before any work begins

  • How I balanced client wishes with expert recommendations

  • Design solutions that resulted in a highly functional, beautiful kitchen

  • The collaborative process that helped bring unique features to life, such as a custom backsplash, furniture-style refrigeration, and a multifunctional outdoor space

This story illustrates the impact of a healthy designer-client relationship — one based on open communication, honesty, and mutual respect.
