From Concept to Completion
Our Proven 4-Step Process
Have you ever dreamed of a home that perfectly aligns with your lifestyle and aesthetic preferences? At Sunday Morning Kitchen and Bath, our mission is to transform your living spaces into bespoke environments that reflect your personality and enhance your daily life through innovative design and expert craftsmanship.
1.
Initial Discovery Phase
During the initial consultation (virtual or in-home), we explore how your home needs to change in order to fit your needs and lifestyle. We discuss the scope of work necessary to achieve it, a very rough budget, and the steps to get you ready for construction. I’m typically able to price my design services on the spot (on average, you should expect design services to add 10% to the project budget. If you have a roughly 50K kitchen project, it will most likely cost ~5K to design it). If you have a Pinterest or Houzz Ideabook, I would love to see it! I will measure your home either during the initial consultation or as soon as the design contract is accepted.
2.
Collaborative Space Design
(This is where the hard work happens) We meet and discuss my preliminary designs together – in your home or virtually via screen-sharing. My design process is very interactive – we switch between 3D rendering walkthroughs and floor plans. We explore different possible variants of the space, plan approximate placement and sizing of cabinets, and decide on the placement of appliances and plumbing fixtures (and their type). This stage ends with a set of drawings which can be used for permits, contractor bids, and actual construction. In between meetings, I provide PDF presentations with floor plan options and 3D renderings.
3.
Selections & Sourcing
(This is where true fun begins!) We select in a particular order that makes sense from project management and lead time standpoint – typically cabinets and appliances first, countertops and backsplash second, and selections such as hardware, accessories, and paint last. This of course gets modified if a particular selection has a long lead time or dictates other selections, such as statement backsplash tile or stone hood. I make sure this all will look amazing together throughout the process. You see your selections rendered in 3D as we make them and added to your presentation file. No need to imagine anything, no surprises or regrets! As we make those selections, I prepare detailed drawings for your cabinets, tile, and hardware placement, which saves time and headaches during construction.
4.
Implementation & Construction
This is when your builder/contractor takes over. I remain just a text or call away in case of any questions, but one of my special skills is keeping questions to a minimum by providing accurate and detailed drawings and product downtime to a minimum with accurate ordering. In plain words – the better the designer, the less they have to do in this phase. But I’m with you till the end of the punch list in case design needs to be modified for site conditions or the contractor needs support. Now all that’s left to do is enjoy the finished product!
5.
Project Completion
With construction complete and all final touches in place, it’s time to enjoy your new space. We conduct a thorough walkthrough to ensure every detail meets your expectations. This final step is about celebrating the transformation of your home and the fulfillment of your vision. Now all that’s left to do is enjoy the beautiful, functional space we’ve created together!
