Professional Kitchen Design for DIY Homeowners

I was just cruising the Web and stopped by Susan Serra's blog, The Kitchen Designer to see what she was up to...

The post I link to is about the questions our clients don't ask that can get everyone into trouble when it comes to executing our designs (Where the rubber meets the road). Like every post on Susan's site, the concept was well presented and discussed, with a number of comments.

One reader, Victoria, asks in Comments: "Are there kitchen designers that can work with DIY homeowners?"

I'm going to answer Victoria here. Hopefully she will find my post.

During past "good times" many kitchen design pros might have brushed off a DIY project if they worked for a full-service (installing) kitchen design showroom. However, nowadays I think even the fanciest showrooms would be happy to get the work.

There has never been any reason to assume that a non-installing kitchen design showroom's designers would treat DIYers any differently than any other client.

Everybody else would be happy for the work too. These are difficult times for the kitchen and bath industry; and every job, no matter how small, gets our complete and undivided attention.;-P
