Hello! I'm Dolores
Originally an East Coast gal, I spent over 20 years in northern New Jersey. I’ve been grateful for the opportunity to travel across the country, bringing renovations and remodels to life. Experiencing different regions and cultures has brought great innovation to my projects, and whether the property is here in sunny Arizona or elsewhere in the U.S., I offer the same level of service with an exciting energy. Your home is your most cherished space, and I believe it’s important to ensure that every intimate detail of the project is well-managed and thoughtfully executed—both technically and accurately.

What others are saying
"I found her outlook, charm, and sensibility something that I can only wish other people to aspire tor"
"Dolores, simply put, was a professional kitchen and bath designer who I had the distinct pleasure to work with on a multitude of occasions. Beyond appreciating her business acumen and talent, I found her outlook, charm, and sensibility something that I can only wish other people to aspire to. She will always make an excellent business partner with true dedication and honesty. I can only wish she was a partner in my own business! I wish her well in all her future endeavors." - Larry Goren
"Her work ethic is outstanding"
"Over a 4 year period, we had the opportunity to photograph Dolores Sonia’s work many, many times. Her talent is extraordinary in design, functionality, and meeting the hopes and dreams of her clients. Meeting her clients during our photo shoots gave us the opportunity to hear their experiences with the projects. They always spoke very highly of the process, and the ease of working with Dolores. They were eager to show us all the creative accents and convenient tools like hidden charging stations, hidden electrical outlets, nifty cupboards, lighting, etc. So many times when I would comment on a unique aspect of the design, the homeowner would say “that was Dolores’ idea”. Her work ethic is outstanding. We recommend her with enthusiasm! Along with all of the professionalism above, We also found her to be a lovely human." -

"Highly recommend this"
"We had the pleasure of working with Dolores on two kitchens, a custom TV entertainment center and master bathroom cabinets. I have never dealt with a more creative and efficient contractor of any kind.
My builder even commented on how precise and on schedule she was. My kitchens, tv entertainment center and master bath were exactly what I wanted, high quality and incredibly beautiful. She delivers a great product, on time and stands by her work. I highly recommend her for any project." -

"Dolores is a professional and a delight to work with!"
"We worked with Dolores Sonia on a major home renovation project that included a total remodel of our kitchen/laundry/powder room and deck. She took the time to understand our individual style, project goals and budget, and presented an amazingly creative and beautiful design. Dolores was extremely helpful when it came time to select items and helped us ensure that everything new would integrate well with the rest of our existing home. She was always responsive to calls, emails or questions, and consistently met project deadlines. Dolores is a professional and a delight to work with! I recommend her without hesitation!" - June Tamburro
More About The Company
As a 40-year veteran in the kitchen and bath industry, I’m still inspired daily by new projects, new challenges, and the adventure they bring. It’s not just about the great hiking in Arizona; it’s about the adventure of drawing visions out of homeowners—taking their thoughts and ideas and turning them into dreams! I’ve worked in many aspects of the industry, from the sales floor in a showroom to the drawing room with the architect. For me, it’s like solving a puzzle. I enjoy taking all aspects of the project—design, budget, and functionality—and making them fit together seamlessly.
Your home is an investment, and you deserve to get the most value from it. My job is to fit the puzzle pieces together in the best way possible. As you’ll see, my projects vary in look and feel because my goal isn’t to impose my style on a project, but to bring my systems and trusted relationships. By applying my industry experience, I add value, efficiency, and effectiveness to every project.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine the design style that suits me?
We start by learning about your lifestyle, preferences, and needs. This includes understanding your style, how you use your kitchen or bathroom, and the atmosphere you want. We also consider your space, natural elements, and any budget or time limits. Then, we create a design that blends your style with practical needs, making sure it’s both beautiful and functional.
What is the typical timeline for an interior design project?
A typical interior design project takes about 8-12 weeks, depending on the scope. The process starts with a 1-2 week consultation and concept development. Then, design and revisions take another 1-2 weeks. Sourcing materials and furniture usually takes 4-8 weeks. If construction or installation is needed, it typically takes 4-6 weeks. Finally, styling and finishing touches take around 1 week. The timeline may vary based on the project details.
How involved will I be in the design process?
Your involvement is completely up to you! We’ll start with in-depth discussions to understand your vision, needs, and preferences. Throughout the project, we’ll keep you updated on design concepts, material choices, and progress to ensure everything matches your style and goals. If you want to be more hands-on, we can have regular check-ins or involve you in selecting finishes and furniture. If you'd rather take a more relaxed approach, we can handle most of the details while keeping you in the loop. Our goal is to make the process smooth and enjoyable for you!
Do you work with specific budgets or cost ranges?
