Client Testimonials


“We hired Emily and Elm Home Design to remodel our kitchen. Emily was wonderful to work with, and helped guide us through decisions while dealing with the uncertainties caused by the pandemic.

She and her team were a dream to work with. I heard so many horror stories about kitchen remodels, but our was so smooth! Any unexpected things that came up were immediately dealt with in a professional manner with no additional stress to us. Our end result is a beautiful kitchen that both looks and functions like a dream.

We are beyond happy with choosing Emily to guide our project and would happily work with her again, and recommend her to anyone without reservations.”

“We were at a loss when beginning the planning stage for our complete kitchen and utility room renovation. A local kitchen gallery gave us the names of their top 3 choices of kitchen/home designers. ELM Home Design was their #1 choice, and we were so fortunate to learn of Emily.

She provided us with all necessary planning, design, installation, and completion of our beautiful new space. She was always available to take our calls and to act promptly on concerns. She came to our home, always with a smile on her face, numerous times throughout the process.

Emily and our construction contractor developed a continuing work relationship. We have total respect for ELM and highly recommend Emily for home design. Her professional skill in design is 5 Star.”

“I highly recommend Elm Home Designs! I loved working with Emily. She had so many great ideas. Emily listened to my ideas and gave several options in her design plan. I really appreciated that some of the options challenged me to try something different than what I originally had in mind. I will definitely work with Elm Home Designs again!”

"Emily helped make our kitchen dreams come true! My husband and I had an idea and vision for what we wanted our kitchen to look like, but we needed help getting that idea from our heads to reality. Emily attentively listened to our kitchen wish list and worked diligently from that to create multiple options and designs for us to choose from. She carefully considered our budget and made it clear what could be added or subtracted in order to keep us within that budget. One of my favorite parts about working with Emily was her transparency when it came to design changes and personal projects my husband and I could DIY in order to help save money.

Emily has an eye for unique design—she offers a creativity that is unlike most. She not only is creative, but is also extremely knowledgeable when it comes to kitchen product and design. Our kitchen layout before renovation was tight and impractical, but Emily was extremely innovative when it came to solving the difficult space problem while still achieving the beautiful interior we were wanting.

All in all, we would recommend using Emily for your kitchen design or remodel. She is kind, honest, and creative. She cares for her clients and provides an incredible service. We love Emily and the kitchen she helped create for us!"

"Whether you have an idea of what you want or have no idea at all, Emily is your go to girl.  She can create it from the very beginning or she can expand on what you already have.  Her sense and knowledge of style are second to none.

Her fun and loving personality spill over into her work and her passion never dies.  She is so very knowledgeable about products and has such an amazing talent to design any space, whether it be one room or every room in your home or office. 

Not only is Emily excellent at what she does, she is so good to work with.  She does not pressure you or try to talk you into something you don’t want or really need.  She is very patient and offers up good, sound advice when needed.

We are beyond pleased with the total and complete transformation of our kitchen and addition to our home, thanks to Emily.  We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone for any project."
