Our Roseville Kitchen is a kitchen remodel you can follow from before to after in our own photos. Before the renovation, the room had heavy Tuscan finishes. Afterward it had soft grey cabinetry and honed quartz, with a clean backsplash in place of the old look. The Roseville Kitchen is one of the projects in our portfolio, listed there as a kitchen renovation. If you are pricing a full kitchen remodel, our rough estimate for what the designer will cost is about $5,000.
The before
This is our own photo of the Roseville Kitchen as it looked ahead of the work.
The after
Our after photo of the Roseville project shows the grey cabinetry and the honed quartz that took over from the Tuscan finishes. Another of our photos from the project shows a soft gray kitchen with white counters and glass pendants. The appliances in that shot are stainless.
The order we choose finishes in
Before any material is chosen on a selection project, we plan two to four conversations over about two weeks. One of the things we ask about is how the family cooks.
Then the selections follow a set order, room by room. Hard finishes come first, and that group is flooring, cabinetry, counters, tile, plumbing and lighting. Soft finishes, from wall color to drapery and rugs, are picked second. Furniture and accessories wait until the end, since a sofa chosen while the floor is still undecided may not suit the room.
Kitchen choices sit inside our Kitchen, Bath & Architectural Selections service. Its list starts with tile and stone and ends with appliance selection. Once the orders are in, we track them and follow up with vendors when a ship date slips. We also coordinate the install sequence with the builder and are on site for the installs.
A second kitchen
For one set of clients in Colleyville, we have worked on kitchen and bathroom renovations in their home. In that same house we turned the existing dining room into a wine room. Our reply to their Google review in July 2026 said the renovations would continue late summer and into the fall. Our Colleyville interior design studio is the full-service practice Veronica Eckhardt founded in 1993.
A Colleyville client wrote in a Google review that Veronica works within budget and balances high-end items with moderately priced ones.
A kitchen from a custom home
That kitchen is from our Tesoro Custom Home project, where our role was whole-home selections, and it pairs warm wood with a black island and a large opening to the patio. The same house has a custom coffee bar with wood cabinetry and mirrored tile, looking through to the dining room.
What the designer costs on a kitchen
We have lately been working on a whole-home remodel in Colleyville, and we are taking it a room or two at a time. Our article on renovating a house in phases covers that way of working. We charge an hourly fee and do not add any markup. Hourly is how we usually bill design work. Our article on what an interior designer costs covers the billing side in more depth.
