Planning a home renovation is overwhelming enough. After all, do you stick with just the kitchen or the master bathroom? Do you do both? Suddenly, what started as a simple update turns into a full-blown reimagining of your space. And on top of that, you also have to contend with colors, cabinets, fixtures, contractors, timelines, budgets, and a thousand other tiny details you didn’t see coming. For many homeowners, this is the moment they realize working with an experienced kitchen and bath designer makes a huge difference.
This was exactly what happened for one of our recent clients, and they were quick to hop online and share their experience in great detail, proving that what could have been a stressful process turned out to be organized, collaborative, and rewarding.
Below is their unedited Google review. As you will see, they describe the journey from the initial consultation through project completion.

“We recently completed a significant home renovation and we couldn’t be happier with our experience and the work that Marta Layton provided throughout the entire project. After a considerable amount of online research and a handful of somewhat frustrating interviews with several other “full service” companies, we decided to take a different approach for our renovation project and hired Marta with Sunday Morning Kitchen and Bath. At first glance, Marta’s services were “only” the design portion of the project.
However, after meeting with her in person at our home, watching her nearly instantaneously create the “as is” floorpan of our home and speaking with several of her existing clients, we learned and ultimately experienced first hand that SMKB provides significant value beyond just the design component. Marta’s design process is well organized and done in person following her detailed preparation. She provides several planned 1-2 hour interactive sessions where she brings her prepared design from our feedback and collaboratively makes real time updates and changes that we discuss during the session.
She is an expert listener and quickly translates our discussion into desired outcomes nearly real time. Additionally, through this process, several trips to materials locations were scheduled where she enabled us to efficiently narrow our selections – we were never left with the common overwhelming feeling that invariably comes with the decision making process of which materials to choose for the desired outcome.
More than just a designer, Marta’s end to end engagement provided us with a comprehensive and owner friendly approach that enabled us to move forward with confidence and tackle the unknowns that we were bound to encounter. We were provided with excellent resource trade professionals to choose from, expert materials resources, appropriate timing of orders/project steps and ongoing suggestions that enabled us to stay on target with the vision. Ultimately we felt these activities were beyond our expected scope of the highly effective design sessions. We found that no matter what stage of the project we were in or what the challenge we faced, Marta happily stepped back in and offered solutions and assistance that enabled us to navigate the path forward.
From the first meeting to the last photo shoot of the completed project, Marta was energetic, highly engaged and responsive to every aspect of the work. She is solution oriented and leverages her years of broad industry experience to put concerns and challenges into the appropriate perspective that helped us successfully navigate our home renovation. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Marta!”
What This Renovation Story Highlights
The customer’s words and the photos above tell the story of working with a certified kitchen and bath designer better than we ever could. Furthermore, it reinforces several themes homeowners consistently value:
A design process that removes guesswork — Every renovation project we take on is different. As our owner, Marta Layton, has said time and again, “I don’t do cookie-cutter.” That said, one thing that is very consistent is the lack of guesswork involved. Rather than the homeowner having to make a gazillion decisions on their own and wonder if the finished product will match the vision in their head, our structured design sessions and real-time renderings provide a detailed peek behind the curtain as we turn ideas into actionable plans. Clear communication, preparation, and listening to the homeowner are at the heart of every project.
Guidance beyond design — As this client pointed out, working with a kitchen and bath designer isn’t limited to the initial meetings and a few detailed renderings. Marta walks through every stage of your renovation journey with you, making recommendations, meeting you at vendor locations to help select materials, coordinating with contractors, processing orders, and so much more. It’s a lot of hand-holding, and our clients clearly wouldn’t have it any other way.
Confidence throughout the renovation — Renovations inevitably bring unexpected challenges. Having an experienced professional who can troubleshoot issues and offer practical solutions helps homeowners stay aligned with their vision from start to finish.
