Expertly envisioned by Kepler Design
Our once efficient and simple seventies-soundbite of a space now soars as a sumptuous sea view sanctuary. Kepler Design expertly envisioned how we could transform an attached single-car garage into a light-filled addition, while also modernizing our “forever” home. The final result includes an updated master suite, walk-in closet, office and laundry room. The one-person kitchen and tiny guest bedroom also metamorphosed into an open-plan chef’s area and lounge-worthy guest suite with so much storage. The newly fashioned coffee bar and reimagined monochromatic fireplace created our perfect ocean-optics environment. And lastly, the addition of a custom book nook and wave watcher’s window seat fulfilled a childhood dream. Jan Kepler enabled us to turn a list of hopes and dreams into a magical memory-making abode.

Easily Adapted and Got Our Taste
Jan specializes in kitchen design. We used her to design the cabinets in our new home’s kitchen and baths, and she also helped us to choose colors, tiles and other finishes. She does a lot of Mediterranean design in this area but our house is modern, and she easily adapted, got our taste, and had loads of suggestions, steering us the right way when we got off track. I would definitely use her again for any design project.
A Great Communicator
My husband and I hired Jan for a major kitchen and bath remodel and were so happy with the results that we let her adopt the entire house as a design project. Jan was enthuiastic to begin re-designing our kitchen and had priliminary drawings e-mailed to us within a few days. We were delighted to see the potential of our existing space! Jan’s design opened up our closed in dysfunctional kitchen, gave us counterspace galore, tons of easy access storage, a convivial gathering space around the island with bar seating, extra storage and beautiful quality custom cabinetry with design and finish details found in high-end furniture. The function and flow improved so much that it made entertaining a pleasure, even with multiple cooks and 20 or more guests. Our house went from an eccletic mix mash of styles to a grown up house who’s interior design style reflected the traditional Mediterranean / Santa Barbara style of the exterior and landscape. Jan obviously loves what she does and she is a great Kitchen and Bath Designer. Jan is knowlegable in all areas of Interior Design styles, a great communicator and she aims to please. We love our house!
Utmost Respect for Jan Kepler
From an Industry Partner’s perspective, having 20 years of experience with Interior Designer’s from Santa Monica to Paso Robles I would tell you I have the utmost respect for Jan Kepler. Jan’s timeless good taste would be anyone’s good investment. Her professionalism and business ethics are stellar. Jan’s infectious positive outlook has made me proud to call her my friend as well as my customer.
We Love Our Kitchen
I have known Jan for many years (full disclosure: She is my sister 🙂 and have long respected her design savvy and abilities. Our kitchen was a mid 70’s disaster and Jan took our existing space and our own design wants, needs and budget and combined them with her experience and know-how to help us create the closest thing to the kitchen of our dreams that we could afford. She worked with us long distance, having taken all the measurements while in Las Vegas for a trade show and then using email, websites and phone calls to put together great modestly priced cabinetry, with recommendations for everything from the countertops to the fixtures and appliances. We love our kitchen!
Has NEVER Let Me Down
I have worked on several projects with Jan Kepler over the years and have found her to be the consummate professional – knowledgeable, helpful, and determined to make the client’s dreams a reality. Her knowledge in the industry is unmatched – she is a great communicator and has NEVER let me down. She is my ace in the hole in any cabinetry situation, and with her wide range of products can make any client (and any budget) happy. I HIGHLY recommend her services.
We Could Not Be Happier
Jan is such a pleasure to work with. Her knowledge of materials and colors is amazing. Ours was a major remodel, removing walls and creating all new surfaces including the ceiling. She listened to what we described as our vision and guided us to an incredible kitchen and great room. It turned out so much better than we had imagined. She even helped us pick a color to paint the exterior. We couldn’t be happier and look forward to working with Jan again.
Kepler Embraces the Big Picture
Kepler Designs works on many of my custom home building projects. My clients go to them for cabinets and they get so much more. Kepler embraces the big picture, empowering the homeowner to thrive in the decision making process. I look forward to adding even more homes to our shared portfolio.
I Myself am an Interior Designer
I myself am an Interior Designer, and consulted with Jan Kepler concerning a kitchen gut remodel project my husband and I undertook. Jan was an invaluable resource to me. Not only does she share my passion for overall design, but also her eye for fine detail is impeccable. I would be hard-pressed to define her strengths as they are so numerous. She listens carefully to her client’s concerns and wishes for a new space. She then interprets those wish-list items into a functional, approachable plan, complete with blueprints, specs for the project, while never losing sight of the all important time line and budget. She introduced me to Kyle Martin, of Martin Pacific Builders, who came into our project with a crew beyond compare. The relationship between Designer-Contractor-Client is one that is close knit and depends on a respectful and workable synergy between all parties. Jan and Kyle easily brought that to my project. I have subsequently consulted with Jan on many of my own projects, and I would highly recommend her as the consummate professional for your design project.
Saved Our Family Room
Kepler Design is amazing! Jan Kepler saved our family room & our pocket book. We finally have a room that will stand the test of time! Can’t wait to work with Kepler Design again!
Resources Are Unbelievable
We have used Jan Kepler Design for a number of projects, on several properties, over the past 10 or so years. She is creative, innovative, resourceful, thorough, a fabulous designer and listens! Shje works well on a budget and she is a schedule genius! Our personal style is very different than her’s. We like ultra modern and she has been instrumental in finding the perfect floor coverings, recommended colors, fabrics, leather-finish granite counters, kitchen upgrades and much more. On the subject of carpeting, her suggestion was a bit over the top for us, at first…until I thought about it and lived with a sample for a while. Well, she couldn’t have made a better suggestion. We put that carpeting in about 5 years ago and continue to get rave reviews and we love it. We’ve yet to see anything like it. Her fabric resources are unbelievable, her sense of space and design wonderful! I have told Jan she’s great for nudging us into thinking in new ways, and she’s always been right. I can’t wait to have another project, because we’ll use her every chance we get! I recommend her highly!
There have been numerous projects. Cost have varied from a few thousand to $50K.
Attentive to Details
Kepler Design is very attentive to details and works with your style and tastes to design something truly personal and unique. Jan Kepler was available to meet with me and made it very convenient to my needs as I am a mother of two young children.
Caring and Ethical
We have known and worked with Jan for many years, as she is one of the premier kitchen and bath designers in the area where we are headquartered. Jan is not only a creative and inspired interior designer, she is also an unusually caring and ethical individual – and those qualities carry through into her work, without a doubt. We know Jan to be positive yet realistic, warm yet professional, and on top of that she has the gift of vision and creativity to transform spaces from bearable to unbelievable.
Dealt Well With Prickly Sub-Contractors
Jan provided creative ideas to address various issues which arose in our remodel. Even dealt well with some prickly sub-contactors. I would absolutely use Jan again and highly recommend her!
It is Timeless
Jan Kepler helped us remodel our kitchen on a very tight budget and we love it. It is timeless. She had some really great ideas and she was such a joy to work with. I will use her on my next project when the time comes!
Time and Money Well Spent
When my wife and I decided it was time to remodel our kitchen and dining room, we had some idea of what we wanted but no idea of what was practical and what would not work. When we met with Jan Kepler, she was able to take our ideas and add so much more to them! We are totally blown away with how wonderful the remodel turned out and cannot thank Jan Kepler, Pacific Coast Kitchen & Bath, and Mountain Pacific Builders near enough.
It was Jan’s creativity and redesign of our kitchen, along with the most fabulous cabinets imaginable that really sets off our remodel apart from the herd.
We find ourselves just standing there and looking at every part of our kitchen and dining room for the longest time. It was definitely time and money well spent!
A Masterpiece
Jan Kepler of Kepler Design absolutely transformed our home. She turned an ordinary kitchen and dining area into a Masterpiece! Every detail and design element were coordinated to create a beautiful finished product. Jan is easy to work with, professional, creative and knowledgeable. She took into consideration our personal tastes and budget and helped us achieve a more beautiful and functional area. I would never attempt such a project without her expertise. This was our first major remodel project and my husband and I are so grateful she was on our team.
Beautiful Dream Come True Kitchen
Jan came highly recommended to us by a friend/real estate broker. We looked up her profile and previous work and new once we met with her that she was the person for us. She was there through the whole process. Her expertise and business savvy helped us make the choices that left us with a beautiful dream come true kitchen/dining area. With our budget we wanted to make sure that it was going to be a timeless design and we are completely satisfied with the outcome.
Thank you Jan for a kitchen we will enjoy with our family and friends,
Worked with Our Contractor
We completely remodeled our kitchen this year. Jan produced an excellent design incorporating our many requests. Working with our contractor, Vince Vanderlip, the result is exactly as we had hoped. Jan proposed Plato cabinetry which has proved to be of very high quality.
I would not hesitate to recommend Kepler Design to anyone considering a premium kitchen remodel.
Everything We Had Hoped For – and More
We have had a vision of our dream kitchen bouncing around in our heads for years. Thanks to the attentive, creative and dream-weaving talents of Jan Kepler our dream is coming true!
She recommended Plato Cabinetry for our project and we couldn’t be happier, they are well built and the finish is stunning. They are everything we had hoped for and more. Thank You Jan!
Jan Kepler is Psychic
Jan Kepler is a psychic! She took all of my abstract ideas and made them come to life in my dream kitchen. She is easy to work with and has the experience that shows in the details of the finished product. We loved her so much that we are using her services again in our living room project.
She Can Make It Happen
Jan Kepler loves what she does . She is tireless, visionary ,and a perfectionist. We did a major kitchen and multiple bathroom remodel, where she did everything from the design to the finish. The outcome is nothing short of amazing, with a kitchen out of Architetural Digest with extraordinarily beautiful cabinetry of highest quality. She worked tirelessly with the contractor and subcontractors, to make it all possible. She is really a visionary who can put it all together : the style, the colors, the cabinetry, granite, the integration of form and function . We had a fairly good idea of what we wanted; a beautiful functional kitchen of highest quality and attractive functional bathrooms and that is what we got . If you can envision it , she can make it happen with an eye toward the cost. We wholeheartedly recommend her and her company to everyone who wants quality beautiful kitchens and bathrooms .
Always a Smile and Sense of Humor
Jan is a fantastic designer, problem solver, conscientious of the budget, good business instincts and always with a smile and sense of humor. Her expertise and professionalism deserve a standing ovation and she maintains strong relationships with vendors and contractors. It will always be a pleasure working with her.
A Stunning Success
When we started our Master Bath/Closet/Powder Room remodel we came to Jan looking for high quality cabinetry and workmanship. A lot of work went into making sure the outcome met our expectations and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Jan’s professionalism, resources and attention to detail are what helped make this project such a stunning success!
Fantastic Design Ideas
When we decided to do a full kitchen remodel, we decided for the first time to hire a design professional. Our very good friend Kane with Mountain Pacific Builders, recommended Jan. Best decision we could have made. Jan is a great designer, friendly and most importantly, very easy to work with. We told her what our vision was for our kitchen and then she took it to a level we couldn’t have imagined. The Plato Cabinets are the focal point of our kitchen. Jan brought some fantastic design ideas to the table. Still can’t believe it’s our kitchen. Thank you Jan for giving us something we love to share with our friends and most of all, our family.
Made the Remodel a Lot of Fun
Jan came highly recommended to us and we feel very fortunate that she has designed the total remodel of our Shell Beach condo. Jan recommended the perfect color for the Plato kitchen cabinets and we love the beautiful quartzite that was just installed in the kitchen. She has made the remodel a lot of fun; she is always thinking of new ideas; she always has a smile on her face; she has a great sense of humor and we could not be happier with her advice and selection of tile, cabinets, quartzite, flooring, etc.
Integrity and Professionalism
We hired KeplerDesign for our major home remodel. Both Stephanie and Jan helped us with the kitchen design, the media wall design, the master bedroom wall unit and the master bath vanities. We couldn’t have been happier with the final outcome! Their attention to details and their helpful advice and knowledge in design proved invaluable. We loved the quality of the Ultracraft cabinets and would highly recommend them. Everything was done on time and in the projected budget. We particularly appreciated how Jan dealt with a difficult situation with integrity and professionalism. We would highly recommend Kepler Design.
I Can’t Say Enough Good Things
We launched a major remodel of our Paso Robles home which included a new kitchen, dining, and bar area within a space that offered several challenges due to its shape. Jan was able to envision an attractive and highly functional layout, which included changing the size and position of the island, the location of the bar area, and the creation of a hall closet. Jan was always accessible and gave us her time and personal attention many times, including visits with us to tile stores, as well as meetings in her showroom to select materials. Working with Jan was fun and enjoyable, as she is a friendly and focused designer with a great eye for color, texture, and synergy. Jan also worked closely with our construction firm and helped us with our choice of plumbing fixtures and appliances. I can’t say enough good things about working with Jan. The final result is just perfect, and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Jan Kepler!
Took Us From Start to Finish
Jan took us from start to finish on a recent kitchen remodel. She was very patient with us – making sure that we were getting exactly what we wanted. She was not afraid to steer us back on the right path and made great recommendations based on past customer success. The cabinet layout had some very tight tolerances but her software design and chosen installer made everything fit just as planned!
Eye for Detail and Design
Jan Kepler is very knowledgeable and has a great eye for detail and design. She made my clients kitchen remodel come to life
Excellent Taste and Broad Experience,
When my husband and I decided that our 35-year old kitchen needed updating, we went to Jan Kepler of Kepler Design. We had seen her ads in SLO Life and examples of her kitchen designs featured in The Tribune. We now have our beautiful new kitchen and are so happy we went to her. Jan came to the house to look over the existing layout, listened to our ideas, and then devised a plan she thought might work for us. We then looked at materials we might use, including cabinetry, tile, flooring, and appliances. She accompanied us to various showrooms to help us select appropriate colors, textures, and materials. With Jan’s excellent taste and broad experience, we were able to put together a kitchen that is a pleasure to work in as well as a delight to the eye. Beautiful cherry cabinets complement our new appliances and island. We found Jan easy to work with, answering all our questions and suggesting improvements that had not occurred to us. Jan is simply the best and we highly recommend her.
Amazing Job on Our Bath
She did an amazing job on our bath and closet remodel. She also secured a great contractor mid way through as project became too large for our hired person. her tastes worked well for ours and her ideas on spacing and layout exceptional.
Remodel of a 5,500+sqft House
Our project involved a remodel of a 5,500+sft house. Kepler Design helped us throughout the design process, including coordinating with the architect on changes to interior architectural layouts, and the selection of materials, finishes and colors. It was a pleasure to work with Jan Kepler and Stephanie Rothbauer, they guided us throughout the process and presented various options for us to select from. We could not have done this major remodel without Kepler Design.
Review from Contractor
I have worked with Jan as a contractor for almost ten years, she has been a blessing to work beside and she is an amazing designer. Her attention to detail is outstanding and she really does make my job and the clients life so easy! I would recommend jan for anyone looking for that experience and stability throughout what ever project you have in mind!
What I Wanted, and More
I first worked with Jan on my kitchen remodel several years ago and was so delighted with the results, that when I decided to remodel my master bath, Jan was the only person I would trust with the design and implementation. Because there are so many decisions to make, it is easy to get overwhelmed; but, Jan has the unique ability to help narrow the choices and offer solutions. She has made the end result exactly what I wanted, as well as a reflection of my personality. My master bathroom looks like something out of a magazine – so beautiful, but still so functional. Along the way, my project grew in scope to include a powder room, living room and bedroom make-over, as well. With Jan’s help, all the rooms now flow into each other and the color palette is so soft and coordinated. There are so many things I love about Jan. She always makes me feel like I am her most important client, even though she has a list of projects she is working on. She is patient and didn’t stop looking for just the right products until we had found the perfect details. She made sure I got exactly what I wanted, and more. Jan listened to my vision and made meaningful suggestions, based on her many years of experience. I truly can’t say enough great things about Jan. If you want someone who is passionate about her profession, has fabulous, creative taste, and is wonderful to work with, Jan is the best you can find. She will work tirelessly to stay on budget, guide your decisions, and make meaningful recommendations. The finished product will be of the highest quality and something beautiful that you can enjoy for years. Many thanks, Jan, for all of your hard work and dedication.
Nothing But Good Things to Say
Jan Kepler is great. With Stephanie, her assistant, she took us from the process of envisioning our new kitchen to making it happen. We doubled the size of the existing kitchen and replaced all cabinets and moved every major appliance. It was not an easy task, but Kepler Design made it work. They are very professional and worked closely with our contractors. Their installers were superb. We have nothing but good things to say about the entire experience
I Trust Her Completely.
I was blessed when I walked into Jan Kepler’s studio. When thinking of remodeling your home it can be very stressful but Jan has a professional, kind way about her that can get you through it all. She is very conscientious in keeping with the style and budget you prefer. She is hands on throughout the project making sure everything is going exactly as designed. Her talent and knowledge is beyond anyone I have ever dealt with. I trust her completely.
Recommend Jan and Her Team
Collaborating with Jan on my kitchen remodel was an absolute delight. From the design to implementation phase of my remodel, all went smoothly. Jan’s expertise, warmth, and team of professionals made this a fun process for me. I’m loving my new kitchen and highly recommend Jan and her team.
Her Ideas Are Fantastic
Jan is amazing! She designed the cabinets in our kitchen, living room, wine bar and two bathrooms for our house remodel. She listens really well, is thorough, quick, and her ideas are fantastic. She even helped with other miscellaneous items such as cabinet hardware and all of our door hardware. We could not have done our remodel without her. We highly recommend her to anyone who wants a great kitchen and bathroom designer.
Quality, Beautiful Result
Jan Kepler Design delivers the highest level of thoughtful design producing a quality, beautiful result. Her design choices are not only impeccable but find a way to reflect the client’s point of view. Her professionalism and knowledge allow the client to feel confident and satisfied. Thank you Jan, we adore our stunning and functional new kitchen!
A Fabulous Designer
Jan was highly recommended to us and we have found what a pleasure she is to work with in all aspects of our remodel. She is very knowledgeable, creative, and resourceful, plus a fabulous designer. We have already recommended Jan to a friend that was remodeling a difficult bathroom, who was more than pleased with the completed project. Jan is such a vibrant and amazing person. We would most definitely hire her on future projects, as well as, recommend her to others.
Stayed Within Budget
We love our new kitchen and bathrooms. Kepler Designs did a good job with the design and the coordination of the project. The contractors used were friendly, knowledgable and completed the project in reasonable time. Everyone was responsive to questions and concerns and did their best to resolve issues. They stayed within budget and we enjoyed working with them.
Great Eye For What Can Be
We used Jan recently to remodel our 30 year old kitchen. She was delightful to work with. She is professional, warm and funny. She has a great eye for what can be – something that I don’t have at all. She made the process very easy for us. We used Oak Ridge Custom Builders – the contractor Jan recommended – and they too were fabulous. We couldn’t be happier. Jan, the contractor and their employees, and all of the subs are all true artists.
Collaborated With Jan For 13 Years
We have collaborated with Keper Design (Jan) for approximately 13 years. The professionalism and personal touch Jan shows each client is always appreciated by all. Her eye for design and knowledge of the construction process allows for a smooth alliance between Owner, Contractor, and Designer.
As a company who strives for perfection, Jan has been a real pleasure to work with and an integral part of our success!
Jan Is Just The Best
Jan is just the best. She has a great eye for the overall as well as the details that get missed which is the difference between a great kitchen and a fantastic kitchen. We love how our kitchen turned out. The work space is perfect for what we do. The cabinets are so easily opened and closed while looking fantastic–to me.
I can give just one of many suggestions Jan made that has turned out to be so true: we installed two pull-out garbage/recycling drawers. One next to each sink. I cannot begin to tell you how that simple suggestion has made the kitchen 2x more functional.
I would highly recommend Jan to anyone who is planning to create or renovate a kitchen…and for whatever else you need help with in your home! 🙂
Improved On My Vision
Jan worked with my husband & me on a total remodel of our home. I arrived at our first appointment with nothing more than a general idea. Jan was able to see my vision, improve upon it, & help my husband visualize the project too. She also pointed us to an outstanding contractor. I will recommend her to everyone I know!
Her “Team” Was Focused
As soon as we moved into this house we knew we needed to make the kitchen lighter in color, more open, and more elegant. Jan took our vision and added all the details that made it our dream kitchen! Her recommendations for cabinet style, colors, countertops, tile, and most importantly the contractor made the project really come together. Everyone on her “team” was focused on performing very high quality work and careful attention to details. We enjoyed working with Jan so much that we keep looking at other parts of the house and guest house to do another project with Jan. She is the best in the Central Coast!
Top Notch Service
5 stars, 10+, top-notch service. Jan Kepler oversaw our total house remodel (5,000+ square feet). We are so happy with the results. She helped us find an outstanding builder to execute the project. She has excellent working relationships with many other local vendors, which allowed us to complete a project that should have taken close to a year in 6 months. She designed both the exterior and interior to modernize our 30-year-old home. The kitchen and bathroom designs have proved to be both functional and attractive — eye-popping, actually. We would hire Kepler Design again, and we recommend Jan to all of our friends.
Coordinating with Suppliers
For our complete remodel project enlarging a small 1970’s vintage kitchen to a much bigger upgraded kitchen area, Jan provided great insight in current concepts and features while accommodating our preferences. She is very helpful coordinating with several suppliers and our contractor during these Covid times. We enjoy working with Jan and look forward to her support on a pending bathroom remodel project.
Designing Our New Home
Jan was amazing to work with while designing our new home. She went above and beyond with many design aspects we were hoping for. She has an eye for detail and helped us achieve exactly what we were looking for. All the materials and installation were quality as well. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for design work.
Flood Damage Renovation
It was just after the Thanksgiving holiday 2018 and our kitchen had an unexpected flood. We had thought about updating and had actually looked into some granite. The flood did so much damage we had to gut the kitchen.
We interviewed two designers and were not very happy. Then, a friend recommended Jan Kepler of Kepler Design. She came to our house, talked to us, measured, thought, and came up with some designs for us to look at. She completely took into account that we were “forced” into a remodel and made sure we were comfortable with prices as well as materials.
Jan came up with one design in particular that nailed it. She rearranged our appliances, removed useless walls and created an open kitchen design that incorporated our breakfast nook. We met her at her studio and finalized the plans. Now, we had to pick out mateials.
Jan met with me on Saturdays as I work full time. She would have me bring home a variety of samples to look at in our home. And then, one day, she had laid out a beautiful alder wood cabinet with Dreamy Marfil quartz for the countertops and a soft creamy finish for the Island. SOLD! In Nov. 2019 we finished the kitchen.
Jan has a vast knowledge of interior design and handled every detail with professionalism. We are so grateful to have had her help us and we now have the kitchen of our dreams.
We highly recommend Jan Kepler of Kepler Designs. In fact, we are going to hire her again to finish the rest of our projects!!
Handled Seamlessly by Jan Kepler
Jan Kepler, of Kepler Design Group, recently assisted us in a gut renovation of our 1984 master bedroom, bath, master closet, and laundry room. It involved architectural plans by Jessica Lehrbaum AIA, layout design, drawings, and cabinetry by Jan Kepler and Plato Cabinets, and the build-out and finish work by Oak Ridge Custom Builders. The scope of the project involved complete demo of the 1984 configuration, new layout and floor plan rearrangement, structural integrity, reframing of areas, new windows, and all new plumbing and electrical in the renovated areas.
Our project was handled seamlessly by Jan Kepler, as well as Patrick Jarvis, and Kane Jenkins of Oak Ridge Custom Builders, and their team of skilled professionals and crew that participated in our project. The Plato cabinetry was a welcome addition since we had previously used Plato cabinets on a full kitchen remodel Jan Kepler created for us almost ten years ago.
Jan’s attention to detail is one of her many assets that makes her the perfect Designer. She has the ability to listen to her clients and what their priorities and needs are, and can then translate those wish list items into a working and equally important, functioning plan that adheres to budget constraints. One of her best assets is her genuine love of what she does which translates into a warm and professional working relationship with her clients. We can confidently refer Jan to anyone looking for the consummate professional.
Complete Transformation
Jan is an incredible designer and person! We throughly enjoyed working with her each step of the way. We bought a home that was fairly modern and nice on the exterior but the original owners had chose to customize it with an awkward kitchen floor plan and very dated colors and features of an early 90’s home. (e.g. rose colored cabinets and lots of brass) We knew the home was in the perfect location and was well built but needed a complete transformation with cabinets throughout and classic but modern design choices that would make the home become something we would admire for many years to come. Jan assisted us with a design plan and was always on top of the process and didn’t miss a beat on the entire project. She is a class act and very lovely to work with which can reduce any stress along the way. At the end of the day, we have a stylish, re-designed kitchen and amazing gorgeous cabinetry throughout our home. Thanks Jan!
Honored our budget
When you embark on a large remodel, you worry; you may even panic. You know what you like but to modernize a beloved 50-year-old property to accomplish it takes more than that. It takes design expertise, patience, insight, courtesy, intuition, and an eye for beauty (as well as precision). Jan Kepler has all of that in spades. We bought a cottage by the sea, and we have lived in it, throughout the pandemic, deciding what we need to do to update it in order to make it our style and ready for our next steps in life. Jan listened to us, honored our budget by asking difficult questions, created a gorgeous design for each room and then helped us get all the cabinetry ordered. We cannot wait to see it unfold, and we cannot recommend Jan more highly.
Surprised
Jan Kepler of Kepler Design surprised me!
My kitchen layout is a designer’s true test of their creativity, thoughtfulness, and determination, with a hopeful goal of bringing forward the best design while considering all the variables. And Kepler Design came up with a design that passes this tough test with an A+
As homeowners, it serves us well to consider a designer’s personal esthetic style along with their design showroom appointments. Select one who reveals an elevated style that has been carefully developed and cultivated! You will find that in Jan Kepler, of Kepler Design, and the showroom reflects a tasteful and cultivated style that will carry over into your design project.
Also consider that “one-stop shopping & design” services are often compromised with a conflict of interest.
Kepler Design services are singular!! They have one purpose – to create the best design possible.
In the end, that is exactly what you and I need and expect – a designer that is not compromised but offers quality material, honest feedback, and a worthy design making you and designer beam with pride over a well appointed and workable space.
Without hesitation and with great confidence I do recommend Kepler Design.
Kathleen Yorba
Tickled Pink
So thankful to Jan Kepler! I’m tickled pink about everything! Jan, you are a genius! You are so kind & genuine. I adore you! I love the twinkle you get in your eye when you talk design. I love your sense of function with fun. You make every step of the remodeling process a complete joy. Both my husband & I are over the moon to be working with you again. Thank you again for all the work you are doing to make our house a home.
Jan has been absolutely wonderful
Where do I start? Jan has been absolutely wonderful with our kitchen remodel. We needed to make our kitchen significantly more efficient and make it a “two chef” kitchen. We had spent 2 years trying to arrive at a solution on our own but Jan came up with a plan within 48 hours. She truly thought outside the box and it was perfect for us.
Once we settled on the design she was WONDERFUL at helping us pick out the cabinetry, appliances, tile, flooring, sinks, etc. I’m pretty inept at this stuff but Jan made it easy. We ordered the cabinetry through Jan for two reasons – we wanted quality and we wanted to make sure it was ordered correctly. Since Jan was intimate with the design, she was the obvious choice for the cabinetry.
Another advantage to using Kepler Design, is that she is well connected with the construction side of the business. She introduced us to an excellent general contractor who has worked out extremely well.
Overall – I can’t recommend her enough. She was so easy to work with and her honesty and responsiveness was always appreciated.
