Client Testimonials

"The role of a kitchen designer is invaluable. Peggy Deras is a pro who designs for practicality while keeping aesthetics in the forefront. She envisions space planning in a way we never could have seen. My contractor loved her drawings and they were easy to implement".
Gail Benchener, Burlingame, CA

"Peggy, I still love my kitchen — it's timeless and it reflects the great design you did for us."
Bob & Charlene Rouspil, South San Francisco, CA

"Peggy, I want to thank you for your help with my kitchen remodel. The kitchen is beautiful. The services you provided were valuable and cost-effective. I appreciated very much your help and advice.

"I was very pleased with the kitchen design plans. The kitchen is functional and practical, yet innovative. The design of the skylights as part of the ceiling atrium adds a dramatic effect and maximum natural light. The inclusion of the bay window is a focal point in the kitchen while increasing the amount of natural light. These two features have transformed the kitchen from the darkest room in the house to the one with the most light.

"There is no question that your cabinet expertise is a competitive advantage. I saved a substantial amount of money on the cabinets by using your services to write the cabinet order. The cabinet retailer simply reviewed and priced your order and passed along the savings to me. By getting such a good price, I was able to get everything I wanted in cabinets. My cabinets are truly gorgeous.

"Furthermore, your knowledge of cabinets simplified my selection. Going in, I knew nothing about cabinets. You advised me well on basic design and focused me on a few lines. I was able to make my selection quickly.

"Peggy, your professionalism and ability to meet clients needs were much appreciated. The cost of your services is reasonable and when combined with the quality of your work, you're a bargain.

"Our kitchen remodel was a complete success. We have a beautiful kitchen and couldn't be happier with it. Thank you so much for your part. You did a wonderful job and I am pleased to have chosen you."
Rob Goldsone, Burlingame, CA

"We are writing to let you know how thrilled we are with the new kitchen you designed for us. We now have a kitchen that is not only beautiful, but very functional, with and abundance of cabinet space, counter space and lighting.

"We especially appreciate your attention to architectural detail - the arches, crown and picture moldings and base boards you incorporated into your plans match those same details which were already present in the front rooms of our house, now making it impossible to distinguish that the kitchen/family room was a later addition to the house.

"We valued your advice every step of the way, including your recommendations for types and styles of cabinets and appliances, as well as finishes and colors in keeping with our craftsman style home.

"We also could not have completed this project so successfully without the wonderful contractor, interior designer and cabinet company you recommended. Thank you again for an excellent job!"
