While designing a total home renovation with two additions, my contractor suggested KDP in Northbrook, Il for the kitchen and bath cabinets. When I arrived the first time, unannounced, I was warmly greeted by the owner, Nancy Jacobson, who showed me around and explained her product lines, colors and finishes, and gave me brochures to familiarize myself with what she offered before our first planned meeting. I spent many hours working with Nancy and her staff who were equally as warm, welcoming, knowledgeable and efficient as she was. The process of designing a kitchen and four baths was seamless from layout, cabinet style selection, coordinating colors and finishes including countertops, ordering, delivery and installation. Nancy was available by phone or email and was oftentimes onsite making sure everything was perfect. The house looks exactly as I had hoped and I couldn’t be happier!

Nancy Jacobson, Kitchen Design Partners was wonderful to work with designing our Kitchen renovation project. From the moment she stepped into our home she had a vision and recommendations that we are extremely happy with the final product. Her ideas, style, and product options were always well thought out, creative and presented in a very professional way. Their computer designs enabled my husband and I to visualize how the cabinet designs would look to take the stress and guesswork out of it. And, her attention to detail was extremely thorough. We love the end result!

Nancy is amazing and knows what she is doing. Her attention to the smallest detail makes her kitchen designs shine!!! We are absolutely in love with our kitchen that she designed for us. It is both beautiful and extremely functional. She was always very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. I give my highest recommendation.

I was starting from scratch with a lake house kitchen and bathroom remodel in Delavan Wisconsin. I had worked with KDP, Inc 11 years ago on a Chicago project so decided to go with a trusted company. Remodeling can be a creatively overwhelming process, but Nancy Jacobson and her team helped me narrow down choices and was solution oriented in keeping in alignment with my budget. You say you want a white kitchen? Little did I know how many whites there were! Thank goodness Nancy had an eye for a modern coastal look that I was wanting. She stayed on task with the process, communicated effectively with the contractor and coordinated all the remodel moving parts. Thanks Nancy for removing the overwhelm!

Nancy is the ultimate in professionalism, a great designer, and wonderful collaborator! She and I worked together on my client’s kitchen and my client enjoyed a very easy project because of Nancy’s diligence in getting the look right. We’re now working together on another kitchen project as well as a number of bathrooms. She has an extensive knowledge of the lines she carries and utilizes that to help you find the best selections for your project. As a designer, I’m thrilled to partner with her as I know my clients will get our combined talents as well as her dedication to ensuring that everything is just right.

I have nothing but praise for Nancy, owner of Kitchen Design Partners. She is the ultimate professional and will not settle for anything less than perfection and has the uncanny ability to know exactly what her clients are looking for. Our kitchen has been a labor of love and is finally coming to fruition. Nancy has been there every step of the way, from the design process, cabinets, countertops, oven hood, and lighting right down to the cabinet hardware. Nancy and Cecilia, her assistant are always available and respond promptly should any questions or concerns arise. I highly recommend KDP for the ultimate experience in kitchen design…bathrooms and even wine cellars too!! You will not be disappointed!

We could not be more delighted with our new kitchen and laundry room…thanks to KDP! After living in our home for 27 years, it was due for a facelift…actually, a complete remodel! Our experience working with Nancy and Cecelia, was beyond exceptional. From the dedicated time and attention that they gave us during the planning and design phase, to the exceptional follow though during the install and after, we could not be more pleased! The kindness and respect that Nancy and Cecelia have toward one another, and how they treated me as a client, made the experience warm and comfortable. Nancy’s experience and knowledge all aspects of the project, made working with her extremely helpful. While the scope of the project may have been daunting for some, I LOVED it! Nancy’s presence and attitude made me feel like I was her only customer (which was definitely not the case!) Our kitchen and laundry room turned out so beautiful (and functional) and we are now incredibly proud of our home!!! We are looking forward to finalizing the 2nd phase of this project, starting next week, as we are working with KDP on our guest suite and master bath. Working with KDP has simply been a wonderful experience that we are thankful for. We would highly recommend KDP for any project!

Every time we admired another kitchen in town, we kept hearing the name KDP. Working with Nancy and KDP was one of the best decisions we ever made! Her design talent, coupled with the variety and price range of the products offered by KDP (cabinets, counters, hardware, range hood), made our kitchen renovation so much easier to live through. Plus she is always so pleasant to deal with. More importantly, Nancy’s keen eye and endless attention to detail definitely saved us time and money (our contractor is still raving about her detailed design drawings and availability for questions.) Truly, we put off our kitchen renovation because we were overwhelmed. Now it is absolutely gorgeous and easy to use! Sorry we did not find Nancy and KDP sooner. Hiring KDP made our dream kitchen come true!

Our experience with KDP was wonderful!! Nancy was knowledgeable, listened to what we wanted, provided many options within our budget and was extremely thorough. We thank her for making the kitchen of our dreams come true.

Professionalism, expertise and commitment was demonstrated through out our master bathroom renovation. KDP guided us through the process of selecting semi-custom cabinetry and tile. We came to KDP with the idea of wanting a spa like master bath using materials which would evoke luxury and retreat. KDP exceeded our expectations in customizing our drawers and cabinetry configuration. A unique feature having young children, was a keyed lock on our medicine cabinet for safety. We never felt rushed during our appointments and we received their full attention which made it a pleasure to work with KDP.

Nancy is very helpful and is able to provide advice on all aspects of kitchen design. Design and execution of the project was meticulously carried out. There was supervision of the project from A to Z. Ours was a quartz island countertop. We couldn’t be more pleased.

I primarily work photographing kitchens for designers. I’ve seen everything from low end to high end kitchen designs and when I get a new client, I never know what I’m going to walk into. When Nancy at KDP contacted me and we met, I was more than thrilled at the project and her attention to detail with what she produced. She is always present at the shoots which allows us both to be sure she gets what she wants out of the session. We have done multiple shoots together now, and I’m always excited to see what she’s produced next, because the photos always look great…and they can only look great if I’ve got a fabulous kitchen to work with. Thanks again Nancy!

Nancy treated my kitchen remodel like it was going into her house in the best possible way. She is so detail oriented and organized, and she thinks of every little thing that I didn’t even know went into a kitchen or master bath design. She has great taste. She listens. She knows the products in every relevant product line and can steer you to what’s right for you based on your basic, and in my case, totally uneducated attempts to describe what I wanted. We could not be happier with our beautiful kitchen.

We recently renovated our kitchen, mudroom, laundry room and 2 bathrooms. I have never undertaken a project of this scope and Nancy Jacobson/KDP provided invaluable input and guidance every step of the way. Nancy has an incredible eye for design and her attention to detail is remarkable. She and Cecelia were always available, professional and delivered an outstanding product. Our finished project exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend KDP!

Kitchen Design Partners (KDP) did a fantastic job on our project. We used them to design our kitchen and butler’s pantry, 5 bathrooms and our laundry room. In addition, we used KDP to get cabinet fronts for several built-in cabinets in the house, including the one in our family room and our mudroom. KDP has a great selection of cabinets to choose from and are very knowledgeable about cabinet design. They were able to work within our budget and deliver an outstanding product. KDP has a great attention to detail. They really thought through the function of all our spaces and how we intended to use them. They looked at the big picture, taking into account color schemes and tile and fabric choices for each space to get a truly custom look. In the end, I feel like we got unique, magazine quality spaces and ones that function well for our family. I would highly recommend them.

It was a pleasure and delightful experience working with Nancy Jacobson (KDP). We found Nancy to, if you will, know her stuff! I felt she is extremely knowledgeable about the products she sells. Nancy is not only very professional, but is very warm and personable. She is so engaged that you get the impression that your remodel is the only project she is working on. I never ever felt she didn’t have time for our project, a total remodel of our 20 year old kitchen. Because of Nancy being meticulous with every detail, our kitchen turned out totally awesome. I wish I had another project because I enjoyed our working relationship a lot. We would highly recommend Nancy and her staff at KDP.

KDP provided a customized, professional approach to solving some difficult problems during my kitchen remodel. The owner, Nancy, was creative in developing workable ideas and resourceful in finding suitable materials for some challenging issues I encountered. She was always respectful of my time, my concerns and my ideas. Nancy was a pleasure to work with. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

Nancy Jacobson and her team provided outstanding design, planning and support while our kitchen project was being implemented. They were good listeners and expressed a solid understanding of our ideas regarding how we used our space so as to make strong recommendations when it came to creating our new kitchen. They even fielded calls from us while we were out shopping for hardware to discuss pros and cons of various finishes. We really appreciated those little moments of support that helped us pull it all together and give us the room we really wanted.
