Our kitchen remodel was at least 8 years in the making. As the appliances slowly failed, and the cabinets and counters showed their age and became more and more dated, one thing held us back: The Design. “He” would come up with one 3D computer modeled concept after another, and “She” would worry if any of them would really work, and even if they did, what about the details that would make it a delight to see and cook in. “We” went to multiple home shows and talked to many designers. In Nicolette we finally found the right balance: someone that would both listen and incorporate our tastes and the vision of what we wanted, along with providing fresh ideas, design sense, and reassuring and gentle guidance (and a rare firm hand) from start to finish to ensure the final result was truly wonderful. Nicolette came up with several different design options, and paid special attention to making the most efficient and creative use of the space available. She also brought a large computer screen with her to show us her highly detailed 3D design rendering, making it much easier to see how our current space could be transformed. She was even able to make modifications to the model as we talked over the details. After it was done, it was amazing how well her concept drawings matched the actual remodel. We also appreciated her detailed assistance in picking out the specific materials so everything in the design fit together. One of our favorite pictures of our new kitchen is not the very showy pictures on Nicolette’s website. It is one we snapped on Christmas day, with over a dozen family members gathered around the island, enjoying each other’s company while preparations for dinner continued unabated. That picture never would have been possible without Nicolette’s help and guidance.

I contacted Nicolette for help with a space plan in an oddly shaped master bathroom/closet configuration. I saw some of her designs online and was impressed with her work. She responded to my request promptly, gave me a reasonable quote for our project, and came up with an amazing design (several actually) for our master bath! My husband was reluctant at first to hire a designer, but he was so excited with her work that he texted our contractor that same day to get started. I would love to work with Nicolette again!

Nicolette is an amazing designer! I felt very fortunate to have her support and encouragement during my home project. She was professional, budget conscious, and flexible. Nicolette had a great understanding of my vision and gently guided me in finding the right fit. Her passion inspired and turned our ‘cookie cutter’ space into a HOME. Her tremendous knowledge and experience in space savings made the move and down-sizing much easier.

Nicolette (NIBIO LLC) was a referral from a friend, and I am so happy we had the opportunity to work with her on our kitchen/living area remodel. Nicolette is very creative in the development of options and solutions. She listens closely to her clients to understand intent beyond mere words and has the ability to translate that intent into fabulous designs. She came up with eight design options for us to choose from for our project. Impressive. She encouraged us to try new things, and tied together color, texture and furnishings I would have never dared on my own. It looks AMAZING. In addition to her terrific design capabilities, she was super responsive and attentive throughout the entire construction project, for which we will be forever grateful. As often happens, we had more than a few issues with our general contractor and sub-contractors. On more than one occasion Nicolette saved the day – and the project – going completely out of her way to come to our home (with no notice) to help the sub-contractors interpret the inaccurate floorplans left by the contractor when the “on-site project manager” disappeared. Although her job should have been done with the design completion, she made many, many site visits to make sure all was going to plan and to troubleshoot issues as they arose. Without a doubt, the project would not have been successful without her. Nicolette’s style is to take ‘ownership’ of the design to bring her client’s dream to life, and she absolutely refuses to allow any shortcuts or misinterpretation from suppliers impact the outcome. Design and construction projects in the home are very hard. Everyone needs a professional like Nicolette in their corner. Highly recommended!

Nicolette came to my home to discuss ideas for redecorating/updating. We had planned to spend 1 or 2 hours walking through specific areas to discuss changes I could make to create the look I wanted. We ended up spending a little more time than that and came up with some solid ideas for painting, lighting and small furniture changes. She was very willing to use as much of my existing furnishings as I wanted and helped me to consider options for change that would be the least cost for the most reward. Nicolette is very easy to talk to and seemed very competent. I am looking forward to implementing the changes we discussed and am comfortable knowing I can rely on her for assistance.

I’ve worked with Nicolette on a few projects in my home. She helped me organize and rearrange the home office I share with my husband. Nicolette has a flair for efficient, original furniture layout and finding the best way to use space.

She updated my living room, so instead of being a hodge-podge of knick-knacks, it now looks professionally decorated with a proper color palette!

Additionally, she’s rearranged furniture on a whim in other rooms, picked out paint colors, and gone shopping with me to find perfect pieces. My home would be a mess without her!
