“We first met Jo-Anne in 2001 as a recommendation from the director at the company I worked for. With my new house plans complete and a kitchen designed by a builder/draftsman (it was horrendous). My first conversation with her was about budget. I didn't have his budget, heck, I had next to nothing to work with and she agreed to work with what we had to spend and the space provided in the plans. Jo-Anne managed to increase our overall bench space for prep, our storage and the overall workability of our kitchen. We loved the narrow cupboard next to the fridge to store the mugs/cups/wine glasses - it made the flow so much easier. An additional glass door cabinet was included external of the kitchen which made perfect sense for my inherited crystal & china. It was more than we could imagine and her chosen colour palette in 2001, still looks current and modern today. Move forward to 2008, we downsized after children to a smaller modest house and on a budget, we were going to renovate the kitchen. A call to Jo-Anne and she changed the U shaped design to an L shape with an island bench with storage on 3 sides and additional banquette seating which our family love!!! The kitchen is a dream to entertain in and feed a young family. Such smart advice on layout, appliances and palette again. Now its 2013, we are building again - a townhouse closer to the city. First port of call after the "new" builder designed our plans was Jo-Anne. She has done the unbelievable again. As an added bonus, she has redesigned my laundry as it sits behind the kitchen - storage queen and appliance brains trust are what comes to mind when I think of Jo-Anne. We hope to start the build in the new year, I can't wait to see her plans come to life. What I love about this new design is that we have a narrow townhouse 6.5 metres wide and Jo-Anne has managed to construct a hidden wall of storage in the kitchen including study, an enormous pantry suitable for my war cupboard supply of canned & staple goods... just in case... an appliance cupboard that will hide my husbands coffee/breakfast mess and smart storage throughout the kitchen & laundry - all of this is hidden and our townhouse still looks large and open - I just close the doors and don't have to look at the mess created minutes before. Love it. I would say that I am an easy client, I think she reads people well from your conversations, but I would probably say that I have a high list of what I want, but I don't have a budget to pay for what I want. Jo-Anne has smart ideas that save your budget, but don't cheapen the end product. Spend wisely on what works. All that and she is also a great cook - oh your muffins were amazing - I have never been offered freshly baked muffins by my builder when I go in for a planning discussion... I just wish Jo-Anne designed entire houses... well I have never asked - she may? Thank you for everything to do with my kitchens. Wendy”

“We had the Kitchen Design Centre design and install our new kitchen. Nothing was too much trouble and Corey (our designer) was absolutely fantastic. I could not imagine a more professional operation. All tradespeople worked well together to get the job done in a timely manner with meticulous attention to detail. We recommended them to my sister for her kitchen as she was equally impressed....and she recommended to her friends who were also thrilled. Great work KDC!”

“I worked closely with Chris from Complete Kitchens when I was carrying out an extensive two storey extension of my Californian bungalow. I used Complete Kitchens for the kitchen, butler's pantry, outdoor bbq kitchen, laundry and vanities in three bathrooms. I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted and Chris was supportive of the ideas I had and my colour choices. Sometimes it's hard to know what a colour will look like with small colour samples but Chris was confident it would look good. In the kitchen, I had an idea for a pull-out draw that would hold tall condiment bottles, a separate section for the chopping board as well as a hidden spice drawer. Chris helped design this and made it happen. He was willing to create bespoke pieces and listen to my needs. Many companies refused to manufacture or provide a warranty for an outdoor bbq kitchen but Chris made this happen and it looks fantastic. The job was done on time and any changes incurring additional costs had to be signed off before proceeding. I would have no hesitation in recommending Complete Kitchens for kitchen and bathroom cabinetry.”

“Mint kitchens and Lindsay Williams both exude true professionalism and class! We have now used mint kitchens in three of our properties delivering outstanding and award winning designs . If it's a kitchen or bathroom you need you couldn't go past this fantastic company Jim and Jan Smillie”

“I wanted to refurbish my kitchen cabinetry but retain the carcass in one house, whilst I also required a refit of cabinetry to house a wine fridge in a kitchen which had been installed 2 years ago at our beach house. Jack was prompt, enthusiastic, applying his knowledge to work out the details of refitting what was a new kitchen to house the additional wine fridge. The finished job provided a seamless profile and was indistinguishable from the rest of the kitchen joinery. Very happy indeed. The refurbishment which converted cupboards to soft close draws was also a painless exercise for install, and protected the granite bench tops which I was concerned about without any dramas.”

“We are thrilled with our new bathroom! From the first meeting at the time of quoting, through to the final finishing touches, the GIA team was terrific to deal with - personable, considerate and really professional. It was fantastic to have the project managed by such experienced and knowledgeable people, and all completed for a competitive price. We've recommended the GIA team to friends, and will continue to do so.”

“I had a great experience at Direct Kitchens. Everything was made of high quality. I love the new space and style!”

“I would like to thank Prue, Rex and the team at LTKI, for helping me turn my plans and ideas into the beautiful kitchen I am now enjoying. Their knowledge and friendly advice, along with their various suggestions, helped me to have my ideal kitchen within my budget, without compromise on the quality fixtures and cabinetry. I was given the timeline of their process involved, enabling me to organise my household well in advance. Installation went extremely well and with the minimum of fuss. I would highly recommend LTKI to anyone who values service, expertise and a quality product.”

“We've done two bathrooms and a kitchen with Paul and were thrilled with the results. He took our designs and ideas and made them better, drawing on his experience to find solutions to problems we hadn't spotted! His attention to detail is first rate and he never makes you feel like your asking dumb questions. A true professional and a lovely guy, we couldn't recommend Paul highly enough.”
