When designing a kitchen, the combination of wood floors and cabinetry is one of the most important style choices. While wood-on-wood can create a warm and inviting space, not all wood tones play well together. The right pairing can make a kitchen look seamless and balanced— while the wrong one can feel mismatched or overly busy.

As kitchen designers, part of our philosophy is to not just create beautiful spaces, but to make life easier, too. Part of our process is to get to know our clients, and how they’ll be using their new space.
As kitchen designers, it’s obvious that Dovetail Design owners Jenny and Randy Volk are passionate about creating spaces that fit the lifestyle of those that live in them.

Living in a townhouse, condo, or apartment often means dealing with a more compact kitchen– something our team runs into all the time during the design process! While small kitchens might seem limiting at first, with thoughtful planning, we’ve seen firsthand how efficient spaces like these can maximize on functionality and convenience. In fact, some of our clients end up loving that everything from appliances to cookware is within reach in a small space.

It’s satisfying to design a space that’s not only more stylish— but transforms the functionality of the space as well.

We’ve all been in a kitchen where the cabinet style and placement just doesn’t make sense. In some cases, so much so that the functionality and flow of the space is drastically affected.

As Vermont kitchen designers, good lighting is extra important to us. After all, when winter days are gloomy and short, kitchen lighting that’s warm, welcoming, and most importantly, effective, creates a much-needed cozy interior.
When a couple in Shelburne decided it was time to give their kitchen a much-needed update, it featured dated cabinetry and appliances that didn’t allow for efficient use of their space. They connected with Jenny and Randy for a full redesign.
The heart of every home, the kitchen, is not just a place for cooking and eating. It's a space where memories are made, stories are shared, and traditions– especially those involving food– are passed down. The design of this space plays an important role in how we experience these moments.
Two of the most popular kitchen styles today are Traditional and Transitional. But what sets these two styles apart? Let's dive in and explore the differences between the two.
