The Place for Kitchens and Baths

I had a great experience working with owner Barbara on my recent kitchen remodel. Our Dream kitchen was brought to life by Barbara, I would highly recommend this business.

After experiences with horrible contractors and designers that were more concerned about profiting on a job versus looking out for their clients, I wanted someone to just spare the superficial “niceties” and get the job done on time, at a fair price, using high quality materials while designing me a space that’s not a carbon copy of my neighbor’s. That’s what Barbara did for me. I despise cooking, and it’s a bit easier now that my kitchen has the flow and beauty that Barbara created. Even though she requires an appointment, it’s so she is not disturbed while she if focused, working on her clients’ projects. The clients’ needs come first. Although a cliche, it was clear to me — that’s Barbara’s philosophy.

Barbara is a very talented designer. We were thrilled with her suggestions, service and installation in our kitchen, dining room and bathrooms.. We highly recommend her.

I just read 2 reviews claiming the owner was rude. One reviewer (Jose) stated owner said “Can’t you read English?” Understandable, since there is a sign on the door stating “No Solicitors” and apparently this reviewer was in fact a solicitor and not a customer. A second reviewer (Marcie) claimed Barbara was “extremely rude” Again, Marcie might think this since she did not have an appointment and just showed up as the owner was locking up the showroom for the day, after all there is a sign on the window stating “By Appointment Only”.
This is not a walk-off the street showroom. Apparently neither Jose or Marcie can read the signs on the showroom window or choose to ignore them. “No Solicitors” and “By Appointment Only” means just that. I have known Barbara for many years and one thing is certain about her, she doesn’t suffer the fool lightly. If fools can’t read the signs they should not complain if they are not welcomed with open arms.
I have hired The Place for Kitchen and Baths on 3 different occasions to remodel my Boca and Chicago condos and to design my kitchen and baths in a very expensive custom home I designed. In all 3 instances I was more than satisfied with her professionalism, products and services. The quality of the work was great and would use her again without question, if the need arose in the future.

When you see Barbara’s website, it’s indisputable that she designs impeccable kitchens and baths. She is also skilled at a variety of aesthetics, which is nice as I’ve noticed some designers get in to a rut where each kitchen looks the same as the last. Not only are her designs beautiful, but functional (so important is you actually cook in your kitchen!) She is serious about what she does, and it shows.
