We have been living in our gorgeous new kitchen for about 8 months now, and it still makes me smile every day. I am happy to recommend Marianne to designer your next project. She helped us transform a very dated and basic kitchen into something truly unique. She has a great eye for space and is a very talented designer incorporating both beauty and function into your home. Our kitchen space feels almost twice the size and makes our entire first floor feel like a completely different space. It’s open and contemporary while still feeling warm and inviting. Marianne really understood our style and our need for functionality. She has great ideas, great style and really knows the business. We spend a lot of time in the kitchen, and everyone in our family cooks. Our countertops were cluttered with appliances since we didn’t have enough storage. Marianne’s design added a lot of storage space and she even added “hidden” spaces for the appliance we use daily. We can still be messy, but we no longer have cluttered countertops which I’m thrilled about. Probably one of the things that keeps me smiling. She also incorporated so many unique and beautiful elements like a walnut floating bar on our island and floating shelves which really added the necessary warmth to the dark blue and cream cabinets. Marianne managed the whole project from start to finish and worked quickly to resolve any problems that came up. I also have to say she works with some amazing and very professional contractors who did a great job. We are very pleased with our kitchen renovation and will love it for many years to come.

Marianne did a phenomenal job and I highly recommend her for any bathroom or kitchen design projects. We used her help with our master bathroom remodel and her design ideas far surpassed what I could imagine. Marianne was full of ideas, flexible, easy to talk to and very knowledgeable it truly shows that she loves what she is doing. Thank you so very much!

I am happy to recommend the work of Marianne Clifford for several reasons. Her well-rounded background in the field of design and remodeling prompted my husband and I to engage her services, and we were able to experience what that background brought to our own remodeling project. Her design work displays an outstanding combination of aesthetic sense and functionality. She is an artist, and our kitchen and half bath were her canvas. She knew how to increase the ease of use of our kitchen space while incorporating combinations of materials, appliances, and fixtures that transformed the space into a serene, beautiful place where we now like to spend the majority of our time connecting, cooking, working, and relaxing. I no longer have that “get me out of the kitchen as soon as possible” feeling. Now, it is a place where my husband and I spend time cooking, eating, and planning together. Marianne demonstrates high attention to detail and precision in her work. When I happened to open the microwave drawer in the island and the dishwasher door opposite, I was amazed at how I could easily do that with an inch or so clearance space. I knew that Marianne had been very precise in her measurements when she planned out the space. Her technical expertise afforded us a waterfall kitchen island with a butcher block eating space extending from the island with no legs supporting it, but rather hidden steel supports within. The look is clean and comfortable. Marianne’s industry contacts turned out to be tremendously valuable to us on this project--from sources for high-quality materials to finding a contractor with an amazing attention to detail and expert craftmanship whom we could trust implicitly to work in our home without us being present. Marianne guided us expertly through the process of selecting materials, considering the look that we wanted as well as the quality, durability, and ease of use of various products. Marianne managed the entire process, from ordering materials and appliances to scheduling contractors handing any issues that arose. Any remodeling job comes with its share of stresses, but Marianne was there to mitigate all of them. She listened to our goals for the project, which was to have a beautiful, state-of-the-art space to enjoy for several years before selling the home upon retirement. She designed and space with that goal in mind to make it fresh yet classic. My husband and I were so pleased with her work that we have engaged her services to remodel our upstairs bathrooms and master bedroom closet. Joanne M.

Marianne was a pleasure to work with on our first (and definitely not last) home renovation project. She spent more than enough time getting to know my style, preferences and budget, and helped me make design and product decisions with confidence. We went shopping together one afternoon looking for additional paint options, but having asked my future needs in advance, she saved me time and money on my next project by having us look at flooring for when I’m ready. The contractor she found was fantastic, trustworthy, and sensitive of my time and schedule. The project came out beautifully! Marianne made sure to check in regularly to make sure I was pleased with his quality and timing, and we were able to make tweaks along the way without slowing things down thanks to her attentiveness. I highly recommend Marianne and look forward to our next project together!
