Betty Appleby, CKD, CBD, NCIDQ

Working with Betty during the complete remodel of our condo was a joy. She took my ideas and designed them into a beautiful and functional space. Always communicating with me to confirm design features. Betty is a lovely, creative and professional designer. I would love to work with her again.

Betty was very helpful with our recent kitchen/great room renovation project. She has a real good understanding of cabinet details especially when it comes to lighting, colors, interferences, hardware, and moldings. Our trip with her to various tile and countertop stores was very productive and her recommendations were perfect. We were out of town while the bulk of the work was being done and Betty kept us well informed with photos and phone calls. She has a professional's eye for detail and in the end we were very happy with the way the project turned out.

Betty is amazingly talented in seeing a space and knowing it’s potential! I have personally worked with Betty and hired her to help me in my kitchen and bath design firm. Betty and I hold a unique ability to hand draw both single dimensional and 3 Dimensionally. Which is a rare skill in today’s industry. I highly recommend Betty if you are looking for talented artist and transforming a space.

We could not be more please with the designs that Betty Appleby did for us. She first designed a major kitchen remodel for our house on Sanibel. We knew we wanted to remove some walls and open the kitchen to the living and dining areas. Betty's ideas on this went beyond what we had envisioned and opened the space beautifully. Her knowledge and skill regarding placement of lighting, cabinets and appliances are superb. She is a super nice person and is great at incorporating the client's ideas in her design. We were so pleased with our Sanibel kitchen that we sought her design expertise to prepare plans for a master bathroom remodel on a house in Georgia. That project exceeded our expectations, and the bathroom is truly stunning.

We could not be more impressed with Betty, and we are not easily impressed. We were working with a very small kitchen space and needed to gain every square inch. Betty worked with us to achieve what we think is the perfect design. There were existing structural issues which she was able to design around beautifully. She is professional, she is responsive to questions/concerns, and she has a very focused attention to detail. And she is a really nice person to boot! She is very easy to work with, has amazing drawing and artistry skills, and her integrity is second to none. Do not hesitate to hire her! We will post pictures when the project is complete.

Betty Appleby's designs for our kitchen and master bath renovations exceeded our expectations! She had great ideas and listened to our wants and needs, which enabled her to create truly beautiful spaces. From moving wall and plumbing to her attention to details regarding cabinetry, tile and lighting, Betty's knowledge and expertise were showcased. We were very pleased with the end results and would highly recommend Betty.

Betty was fun and easy to work with on our project. She had great , creative ideas and a clear and professional way of conveying design concepts without squelching our ideas .

Betty Appleby designed our new outdoor kitchen and my wife and I could not be more pleased. Betty had excellent design ideas, was able to illustrate the smallest details in her drawings, including maximizing available space. Betty's attidude is extremely positive, and professional, and her integrity is refreshing. You will not be disappointed. Duke Downey 239-498-1148

Betty has worked with me for more than ten years to design and plan my clients' kitchens. As a design professional, I can especially appreciate her knowledge, guidance and expertise in the highly specialized kitchen and bath industry. She sees and works through all details, including pre- and post- construction projects, saving time, frustration and costs. There are always unforeseen details in kitchens and bath projects that present in the field. Betty's professionalism includes excellent problem-solving skills to keep those little snags to a minimum. She turns out beautiful, quick sketches in an art-like form. And she is one of the kindest people you will ever know!

Betty is very knowledgeable and pays attention to detail. Her drawings for our bathroom remodels were complete, which made it easy for the workers to work off of. She is also very creative with spaces and comes up with great ideas, when doing a remodeling project. I never would have suggested a storage room, where the former shower area was. It was the perfect place and we still had plenty of room for a new shower area. We wanted to replace the old medicine cabinets and she suggested niches. They are beautiful! Betty is on time, knows her industry, and knows how to find sources for information. She was in contact with us via email and would send links to various sites as we were deciding on fixtures, etc. She is honest and respectful, but will also voice her opinion in a meaningful way. Betty has helped us on two different projects and we would definitely use her again!

Betty is not a snooty know it all, and yet she is entirely up to date, and a complete pro. She can work on a million dollar mansion, then turn around and work with someone who has a set budget...working with both families with the same eagerness and creativity. She goes above and beyond to help you understand classic architecture, yet is willing to follow your own ideas without being judgmental. Her designs are creative, yet timeless. I am very pleased with her work.

I have had the pleasure of working with Betty for over fifteen years. She is extremely knowledgeable and has brilliant suggestions for integrating everything that you need to fit into your (usually) limited space. She is a true professional and I highly recommend her to anyone needing planning for their Kitchen or Bath.
