Testimonial
Three years ago when my wife and I first launched our desire to create our dream kitchen, we looked to many of southeast Michigan kitchen professionals to take on the task. Our approach with them was to present our theme and basic vision and test their creative depth. Most came back with ideas that were from the playbooks found in so many of the trade publications of that year. They lacked freshness and were locked into the safety net of limited creativity.
After meeting with Sam Warwick and Maciek Trzos, we were very impressed with the way they listened and understood the direction we wanted our kitchen to take shape. We were looking for a country "working" kitchen that possessed a professional culinary application that still embraced the archecture and character of our home. They went to task and came up with a design that was dead on.
When the time came to turn Tom Strayhorn loose with installation things really came together. Anyone who has taken on a project like this knows that interior spaces are not perfectly square. Tom is a master at scribing and knows all the tricks of the trade to insure that there are no gaps or open seams. Trim joints are absolutely perfect. He is a master of his craft and the final step to an outstanding team.
Now we enjoy the kitchen of our dreams and it has met all of our expectations. Our family and friends love to spend time here creating incredible food and memories together. Thank all of you at Living Spaces for your hard work.
Sincerely,
Mark and Cindy Howell
