Lovely review from one of our wonderful clients…

Our relationship with Ménage Interiors began almost 6 years ago when we purchased a new home. Gail and Paulette greatly assisted us in wading through the many, many tile, carpet, floor, accessory choices offered by the builder along with numerous price points. Gail and Paulette helped us to work through all these decisions. Hiring Ménage was a great decision for us.  We avoided hours of work, arguments, second guessing and costly mistakes. After everything was completed, Gail kept in touch with us and even provided us with several great hints for furnishings that would match our decor.

Thank you for sharing!

Love when we get amazing feedback!!!!

We hired Menage Interiors to remodel our kitchen....and what beautiful work they did. They provided excellent service in getting us from a plan/design to a finished kitchen. They helped us choose the cabinets, countertops backsplash, hardware, flooring, paint color, lighting etc. They offer very professional service and were always available when we needed their help. We have also used their services for color and design for other spaces in our home. They have an excellent eye for colors and how they should blend from room to room. They are a reliable and competent business and would recommend them highly.

These have to be some of the most beautiful chairs ever made....

How functional is your kitchen????

There is shallow storage in the front of this island... why lose the space when it could be made into useful storage!

Microwaves tucked into islands are a great way to get them off the counter!

Magic corners and pull outs are excellent for maximizing storage and allowing for items to be easily displayed.

Additional storage for the oversized pots, books, appliances and whatever else you can think of!  Also doubles as a cat bench:)
