"We were thrilled with our experience with Ellene Newman! She did a fantastic job planning our kitchen and the beautiful outcome is to her credit. Even our contractor told us that she is top at getting the best use out of every inch of space, and he was so right! She was extremely available throughout the whole process, and really held our hand through it. She guided us to great sources for materials, and came with us to several places to help us choose. She is passionate about what she does, puts heart and soul into her work and is extremely honest and upright. We recommend her in the highest terms!"

"We had a wonderfully positive experience working with Ellene of Design 613. Despite a limited budget and significant space constraints, we now have a kitchen we are beyond thrilled with both aesthetically and functionally. Ellene went above and beyond helping us truly understand the design process and guiding us as we made a myriad of choices. Ellene, we can't thank you enough!!"

"Hiring Ellene was one of the best decisions we made when designing our new home. Not only did she provide us with the highest level of customer service and attention, her ideas were extremely creative and resulted in some of the best used spaces in our kitchen area. She also went above and beyond making sure that everything was done correctly throughout the construction process. We worked with Ellene for over a year and, at all stages of our project, she was happy to give constructive feedback and input on a variety of design questions. It was a pleasure working with her, and we highly recommend you do the same."

"Ellene is fantastic. She's creative, kind, effective, helpful. She knows how to combine function and aesthetic. She took the time to ask us about what we need from our kitchen, looked at our inspiration pictures, and offered us sound guidance. We even ordered semi-custom cabinets through her at a VERY reasonable price. She took our tiny outdated kitchen and made it beautiful and functional. Complete with blueprints that were easy for our contractor to use. And 3D renderings that helped us visualize the space and make modifications before ordering cabinets. She even designed a laundry closet for us that has helped us so much! We plan to work with her again in our new home."

"We did a full kitchen remodel, as well as dining room cabinets, and we are extremely happy with the work of Ellene Newman in the design, planning, and cabinetry. We love the unique look of our bamboo kitchen cabinets, and are very impressed with Ellene's skills in maximizing space. In our dining room, the beautiful cherry wood cabinets, complete with glass doors, really enhances our dining room and gives us a great deal of additional storage space. Ellene spent a great deal of time understanding our needs, coming up with multiple design options, and even measuring our pots and pans to determine optimal placement in our new kitchen! Our contractor was very impressed with the quality of the cabinets, and we can tell they were built to last a long time. Ellene went above and beyond kitchen design, space planning, and ordering cabinets. She assisted us with advice in flooring and counter options, cabinet hardware, as well as lighting layout. She was available throughout the entire project, working with us, our decorator, and our contractor, to provide advice and ensure the best results. It was a pleasure working with her and we highly recommend her!"
