Mallett Design Works

Michelle provided us with a very comprehensive, detailed plan for our kitchen remodel. She gave us several options to consider, listened to our ideas and provided guidance in implementing them. She provided us with regular updates and checked in often to gauge progress. We also appreciated her quick response to any question or concern. She was a joy to work with and I would hire her again!

Our condo was built in 1982 and the kitchen was a bit tired and dated. Enter Michelle Mallett! Michelle listened to what we wanted and offered suggestions on how to perfect our ideas. She designed a kitchen, laundry and entryway we will be happy with for years to come. Michelle was meticulous in her measurements so there were no surprises at the end of the project--everything was millimeter perfect. We would recommend Michelle unreservedly for your project and we would certainly use her again for our future projects.

We hired Michelle to remodel our two bathrooms, office, kitchen, and an expansion of the kitchen into an unused nook area. We are snowbirds so we started the project three months before returning to our Arizona home, working over the phone and emailing plans back and forth. Michelle made this process very easy, and she was able to draw up plans that reflected what we wanted and needed. Michelle offered helpful and good ideas, listened to our feedback, incorporated revisions, and guided us in considering all we needed to consider. Michelle was very patient and helpful in the process of choosing all of the finishes, and she also connected us with suppliers and contractors. Michelle delivered what she said she would when she said she would, kept us on track and moving forward, and handled the many details in making sure all of our decisions and choices were on the plans and documented for the contractors. Michelle was very professional and fun to work with, she was always available to help out with whatever we needed, and we are so happy we hired her! We have not yet seen the final product, but are very confident we will absolutely love our “new” house!

We attempted to come up with a plan to remodel our bathroom on our own with the help of a contractor. It soon became evident we were in way over our heads. That is when we hired Michelle of Mallet Design Works. Of all the money we spent on our remodel project the best return on our investment was hiring Michelle. She did a fantastic job redesigning our bathroom focusing on all our must haves. She was so helpful in choosing all the right finishes and design elements for our project. We are so pleased and can't express how much we love our new bathrooms.

We worked with Michelle on our kitchen redesign and would recommend her without any hesitation. We started with some ideas but no sense of how to proceed, and she laid out an end-to-end plan to help us figure out what we really wanted, understand all the constraints and possibilities in our space, and dial in all the details of a final plan. Along the way, she guided us through selecting materials, drafted and revised drawings to help us visualize the plan, and helped us understand all of the process that would go into an actual remodel. Michelle has a smart and sharp sense of design, and gave us advice and guidance where we needed it but made sure to give us room to figure out our own vision for the project. She was responsive to our many, many questions (is this a weird color? How does one find a contractor, anyway?). She connected us to local shops and people; she clearly had good relationships with them and they all worked really well together. Now that we have a completed design, we have to go and get the remodel actually done! Michelle was a pleasure to work with; we would do so again in a future project.

Michelle Mallett, dba Mallett Design Works, was recommended to us for the design of a larger master bathroom with washer/dryer closet by our contractor. We had many meetings with her to choose tile, patterns, fixtures and the blueprints which she proposed. The entire design was perfect for our needs, addressing function for our future special needs and comfort. The space was enlarged from a 5' x 9' basic small bathroom into the bedroom, garage and laundry room. She was a pleasure to work with and maintained a professional focus. Her enthusiasm, knowledge and work quality are top-notch. Unable to send photos, project 50% complete.

We remodeled 2 bathrooms in very different styles. Michelle found all the right stuff, did the measuring, and developed the specs. I felt confident that everything would fall together nicely. The bathrooms are really beautiful! Money well spent!

We have worked with Michelle with several clients over the years. She is always so pleasant to work with, so knowledgeable and professional. We are always impressed with the scope of her knowledge and her level of expertise. She does a wonderful job for her clients and they are always so pleased with the results.

As full time working professionals we have very little spare time to research the details required to achieve a desirable outcome of remodeling our bathroom. We found an Arizona Daily Sun article about Michele and her business, describing her expertise in kitchen and bathroom design. We contacted and hired her to help us with every step from ideas, purchases and follow through with details during construction. We were immediately impressed by Michele’s professionalism and from the point of our initial visit felt comfortable following her lead. She listened to our thoughts regarding functionality; she spent the time with us in our home to learn our style and taste. From the beginning through the completion of the project, Michele’s expertise, knowledge and research led us through choices, decisions and gently kept us organized and on a schedule. She has a skill of balancing styles and ideas that would meet a known expectation while introducing fresh new ideas. She paid attention and followed up on every detail through the entire project. We enjoyed working with Michele and always looked forward to what she would present to us. Michelle’s assistant, Danelle Hernandez, was also very professional and helpful. We love our finished bathroom!!

Michelle Mallett was very professional and worked very hard to make sure I got the kitchen I wanted. She was terrific at showing me the choices I had to decide amongst, helping to winnow them down, but making sure that those choices reflected me,not her. She met with all the vendors, found several contractors for us to choose from at a very busy time for all of them. She kept in touch with our contractor as well as us on a routine basis, to make sure we were all on the same page. It really felt good knowing she'd know who to go to for product. We could have never done this kitchen without her. We had some real issues with functionality in our old kitchen that we didn't know how to solve and her plans solved them beautifully.

We saw an article about Mallet Design Works in our local paper that illustrated the value of her credentials as well as experience. Michelle worked closely with us on our full bath remodel from the beginning, first in the design, then picking materials and fixtures and through construction. She presented several design choices and would thoroughly explain the benefits of each. Very respectful of our schedules yet very persistent in keeping things moving along. Michelle used her experience to help with the best materials or design elements given our existing architecture and the "feel" of our home. She did her homework so that when we met to pick out materials or fixtures, she already had scoped out what we may like. She had the experts in the businesses handy when we were there to provide information quickly. I love color and when I fell in love with a vibrant red quartz material, she figured out a way to incorporate it into the design that works now and with future color changes too. The remodel looks and works beautifully. She was a great choice.

i hired Michelle to help me design my kitchen remodel. She was an excellent lisener and understood my taste and budget. She did a great job of helping me find the right contractor, cabinet maker, and stone designer. She was always available to me to answer questions, help with shopping and keep the contractor and subs on schedule. She was fun and pleasent and polite. she is very professional. My kitchen turned out better than I had hoped, I did go a little over budget but nothing outrageous. I'm going to hire Michelle again to help me with the Master Bathroom remodel this summer.
