“The process of working with Alison
was as wonderful as the result.”

“We worked with Griffin Designs to renovate the kitchen and powder room, as well as upgrade the dining room, in our 1928 house. We started with lots of issues: previous homeowners had made decisions that were out of character with an older home, tearing down a wall between the kitchen and dining room, adding arched windows, and crowding an already tiny mudroom.

We had some challenges too: limited space (and no plans to expand!) and a professional chef in the family who cooks 5+ hours a day and requires serious optimization for access and storage.

Alison Griffin solved for all of the above, attacking the problems with creativity, thoughtfulness, and lots of communication. We couldn’t be happier with the result, from the aesthetics that fit our home and personal style to the dreamy functionality of the kitchen and reconfigured mudroom.

The process of working with Alison was as wonderful as the result. Alison broke the project into stages so we never felt overwhelmed. She helped us better understand and articulate what we wanted both from an aesthetic and practical perspective. She helped us choose a contractor and partnered with him and us at every step to ensure the work was being done properly and up to her high standards. And she had our back whenever problems arose, as they inevitably do when you are renovating a kitchen during a pandemic!

We can’t say enough great things about Griffin Designs, and would recommend them to anyone. We hope to be able to work with them again!”
