Mary Kate Bedell is a pleasure to work with. She guides you easily through dozens of decisions by first listening and getting to know your tastes and preferences, then offering thoughtful suggestions. I also had a few tricky space problems, but she came up with creative, practical solutions that I am really happy about.

I've known Mary for over 20 years, both professionally and personally. I am always impressed with the creativity and high quality of her kitchen designs. If you haven't been to visit The Kitchen Specialist showroom lately, I would highly recommend it. Mary's integrity and dependability is exceptional. I highly recommend Mary Liebhold and The Kitchen Specialist.

Working with Mary Kate was a pleasure. She put together a great design, was very helpful and conscientious in helping us work through all the choices we needed to make, and always communicated in a timely manner. She was professional throughout the process and her installer was top-notch. We would use her again and recommend her without hesitation.

We feel we ended up with a better and beautiful kitchen with the guidance from Mary Kate, our Kitchen Specialist expert. We visited various places to look at all the kitchen products including backsplash, lighting, etc. that we would have never known to visit.

In the summer of 2015, after living in the spec house we bought brand new 17 years earlier — disliking our small kitchen exponentially with each passing year — we began seriously considering a redesign. We weren’t exactly sure what we wanted, only that we no longer wanted what we had. Similarly, we really had no clear idea of where we should even start. We decided to ask someone who did. That probably was the smartest decision of our entire project because it led us to The Kitchen Specialist in Durham, NC where we were fortu... read more

I've known Mary for many years and have worked with her on numerous projects, some of which have been reviewed on Houzz. She is the premiere kitchen designer in the triangle and I've worked with many. Her attention to detail is fabulous and she knows all of her products from front to back. I've seen her interact with her clients on many occasions and she makes them all feel like part of her company family. If you are thinking about a kitchen or multi room remodel, you should definitely talk to her about your project.

I am such a fan of Mary Liebhold and The Kitchen Specialist team. They were excellent to work with and Mary worked and worked to make my kitchen better than I ever dreamed it could be. Her many years of experience proved invaluable in coming up with a design that has proven to be not only functional and fun to work in, but gorgeous! She was also more than willing to work through my ideas and tweaks. She gave me several suggestions for general contractors; all were excellent, so a difficult choice! I was very pleased with the... read more

I went to the Kitchen Specialist to help me design and build a kitchen in a 90 year old building. After the demolition, the space was without walls or defined spaces - just one big open room. Although I had a vision of what I wanted in the open space, I had no idea how to design it. Mary Kate worked with me tirelessly and patiently. I had many, many questions and expectations and she worked with me to answer and meet each and every one, and happily tweaked the design as I changed my mind. She set up numerous appointments and... read more
