Points to Ponder

Testimonials

Dear Nicola, We would like to thank you for all your help during our recent renovation. While we were first drawn to you as a kitchen designer, having seen some of your kitchens in the past, we rapidly realised that your skills extended much further than just kitchens. We were delighted to be able to use one person to take over the responsibility from design through to and including installation of our kitchen, three bathrooms and even the laundry. It took a lot of pressure off us to have you take over and work with your suppliers and our trades people to give us a result far in excess of what was expected. Having just attended the international design conference in Milan you were able to bring to us some features never previously seen in NZ kitchens. For us this was a bonus. Nicola, we enjoyed working with you very much, your friendly bubbly personality and knowledge within the industries you operate made the experience much easier for us. We are delighted with the end result and would have no hesitation in recommending you to other people about to embark on a similar journey as we did. Please feel free to pass on our contact details for verbal references

Experience, creative flair, an eye for detail, and seamless liaison between myself, my builder, and all the trades people involved in producing a beautiful kitchen were the attributes I was looking for in a kitchen designer to realise my Dream Kitchen. Nicola Cumming proved a good listener when I discussed what I wanted. My husband and I had renovated our beautiful old kauri house over a period of about 20 years, with a keen eye for historical detail blended with modern functionality. The kitchen was the last stage and had to match the rest of the house. I wanted natural light, lots of kauri, a kitchen for people to work and socialise in, and ready access to the back garden and garage. I also dislike clutter, so wanted hidden storage space and lots of clever practical features. Nicola interpreted my vision perfectly and I am happy to recommend her expertise. My grandchildren came up with a three-word description - "Granny's Magic Kitchen". Thank you, Nicola

Geoff and I would like to say a great big thank you for designing the most wonderful kitchen. What can we say? It's perfect. It looks great, uses every inch of available space and is fantastic to work in. It's been quite a project from start to finish and it has been wonderful watching the dream becoming a reality. What I have been particularly delighted with is the way that the kitchen is integrated into the overall theme of the home. I definitely wanted a feeling that was casual, fun and a sense of being on holiday but without going over the top. You have managed to achieve that blend of fun in the design that you came up with. It is definitely our dream kitchen!

Having seen your work in magazines over many years, you were the only person I called when we had the chance of renovating our kitchen. Your innovative design enabled us to create the ideal entertainer's kitchen in what was previously a compact room. You captured how we wished to use the space and through use of different products and ideas gave us a kitchen better than we imagined and in a style totally in synch with the rest of the house.

Joanne McCrae & Mark Dickie

Just a quick note to thank you for the excellent new kitchen. We have now been using the kitchen for 3 months and have now got everything where we want it with the new layout working very well. The corner draws have proved a useful way of using what was previously dead space and overall the kitchen functions much better. Little touches like the moving of the waste-master on/off switch make all the difference in the practical use of the kitchen. We were pleased with the overall finish of the kitchen and found your design ideas and concepts valuable in reaching a decision on how the new kitchen would look and function. The reality has lived up to the concept. We would have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone looking for a Kitchen Designer.

We have been enjoying our new kitchen at Pakiri Beach for just over a year. There has been a remarkable transformation of our old kitchen to the stylish, elegant and extremely functional kitchen which designed and arranged to have installed for us. Operationally we have no problems of any kind - it all works wonderfully well. We have all enjoyed working in this splendid new kitchen and it has become a focal point for our family on our frequent visits to Pakiri. May we take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation for your outstanding design and for the highly efficient and dedicated way in which you implemented the project on time and on budget.
