Mary Kate Bedell was our designer and managed our 2010 kitchen/bath and 2015 bonus room renovations. The contractors (Charles Woods in 2010 and Triangle Green Construction in 2015) she choose were excellent. Her design skills were especially evident in the conversion of our large open bonus room into three separate areas for laundry, office and exercise. Working with her was so easy! She artfully led us through decisions doing a great job of keeping us focused on our goals for the spaces (kitchen/bath transitional and bonus ... read more
Mary Kate Bedell is a pleasure to work with and alongside. Throughout our various projects (bathrooms, kitchen, study+) she has always exhibited a strong combination of integrity, enthusiasm, honesty and professionalism. Her design sense is impeccable, both stylistically and architecturally. She has a very good understanding of what is practical, what can work, of time and physical location constraints. Plus...she is a joy to go to showroom visits with!
The is the second time I've worked with the kitchen specialist. Over the moon both times. Tremendous style and patience by her entire team. The experience was a pleasure. And this was a complete -- down to the studs -- remodel. I highly recommend.
The Kitchen Specialist designed my Kitchen and bathrooms for a major home renovation and addition, and what a transformation! Mac Dodge worked with me and planned in all of my needs and tastes. She even went further and considered the size of my husband (who is very tall and large) to make sure he had the space needed to work in the kitchen. He loved the results. They pay attention to every detail and know their business extremely well. It is the wonderful attention to detail and their amazing design talent that will leave y... read more
Mary Kate came to our house, listened to our kitchen needs and drew three different kitchen designs for us that resolved all of our needs. Together, we combined the three ideas into one perfect design for our kitchen. She worked with us every step of the way picking out cabinets, tiles, appliances, everything! She was thorough, incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in guiding us. During the cabinet and granite installation, Mary Kate was always here to oversee that things were done correctly and to keep people on schedule. We... read more
After interviewing several kitchen designers, we selected Mary Kate to help us design a new kitchen and master bathroom—which was a great decision. During the planning phase, Mary Kate was completely in sync with us and helped us clarify our vision for both spaces. She had great attention to detail in designing the layouts and suggested some alternative approaches that we had not considered. Additionally, she gave us several cabinet options that helped us stay within our budget. There are so many details involved in designin... read more
Where to begin?! I have worked with both Mary Kate and Mary on so many incredible projects over the past 7 years. I always love helping with tile selections because they not only design incredible spaces, they are organized and have an incredible vision for the spaces they design. The Kitchen Specialist showroom is also incredible and you can get a great feel for the wide range of options they offer on cabinetry and finishes. If you are looking for a great experience and fabulous, one of a kind options Kitchen Specialist is ... read more
BuildEx worked with Mary Kate on a Governors Club, Chapel Hill, NC high end kitchen remodel. As the builder, there are many details to work out. But working with Mary Kate, I never had to worry about the cabinetry. She carries the best of the best cabinetry lines, her designs look amazing and the installation is perfect. Being in the building industry, I have seen all type of kitchens and her work continues to stand out.
Mary Kate is a wizard when it comes to design and renovations. She is very knowledgeable, easy to work with and very thorough in her work. In the spring of 2008, we started with renovations of my kitchen, pantry and laundry in my 25 year old house. By then I had caught the "renovation bug" and we moved on to renovations of other areas of the house. Entertainment centers with storage and shelves were added to the study and living room. Storage cabinets were added to the main house hallway as well as to the master bedroom clos... read more
