All of us have different wants and needs when it comes to our homes, but finding someone’s story that resonates with you (even just a little bit) can help you feel less alone or stuck. This is why we decided to begin a series called Client Stories. This collection of insider information on our projects and what led each client to decide on working with NKDG is meant to show you that there is an answer to your design dilemma(s). Enjoy!
Full Home Re-Design in Eastlake, CA
CLIENT’S NEEDS:
Our client had been in their home for over 20 years and all of the upgrades kept getting pushed to side due to their busy lifestyle. They were trying to make decisions on their own, but couldn’t get their design style nailed down. They brought home almost 1,000 different flooring options from Home Depot and still couldn’t make a decision they were excited about.
Their realtor referred NKDG to help with their needs and their first choice was to work with us through our Designer on Retainer service. This hourly service allows clients to pull NKDG when they need help with a decision or direction. After a couple of meetings, they decided that they really wanted us to take over the entire project and make all of the material selections.
PROJECT SCOPE:
Make all of the material selections for the kitchen the flooring, three bathrooms and furnishings. Upgrade staircase and entryway as well.

CLIENTS’ WORDS:
“It was great working with Nikki and her design team! We didn’t know what to expect, we had never worked with a designer so we were a little intimidated, but once you meet Nikki and see how friendly and down to earth she is, all of your fears go by the wayside. She made it easy and comfortable, and everything was based on what WE wanted in our home.”
