Upgrading your home should be enjoyable, not overwhelming! No matter where you are in the U.S., the process behind the project is similar. My experience, strong communication skills, and attention to detail allow me to manage your project with ease, so you can relax and enjoy watching your vision come to life.

Start

The journey begins with a conversation! We’ll discuss your vision, needs, and goals for your space. Whether it’s a kitchen or bathroom remodel, we listen carefully to understand exactly what you're looking for, ensuring a seamless design process from start to finish.

Design

Once we have a clear understanding of your vision, we move into the design phase. Our team collaborates with you to create a custom layout, selecting the perfect materials, finishes, and features to bring your dream space to life. This is where the magic happens, as we transform your ideas into a fully visualized design plan. My job isn’t to impose my own style on your project, but to draw out your ideas and vision and craft them into a plan. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, which is why I’ll be with you every step of the way!

Selection

Next, we dive into selecting the details! From countertops and cabinets to lighting and fixtures, we’ll guide you through the best options that suit your style, budget, and functional needs. We only work with high-quality materials to ensure your remodel is not only beautiful but built to last. With no middleman involved, you can be confident that your investment remains both practical and economical, as we go directly to the source.

Purchase

Once you’ve selected your materials, we handle the purchasing process, ensuring all items are sourced, ordered, and ready for installation. You can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of, and we’re staying on track to meet your timeline. With years of experience, I’ve developed trusted relationships with contractors who stay on track and take your project seriously.

TESTIMONIALS

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." -
Jennifer Pierce

"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." -
Jeanne Goryeb

"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

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!
