“I love the challenge remodeling presents,” says designer Lorrie Changaris, based out of Modesto Direct Appliance. “Changing an area to make it user friendly, updated and stylish is something that is as unique as each person who owns the property, and it just thrills me to see all the pieces of the design puzzle come together.”
In today’s market Changaris notes that more and more people, instead of moving, are staying put and remodeling. “They’re trying to create a more current feel without giving up their current lifestyle and budget.”
Whether it’s a Vintage Arts & Crafts, Victorian or mid-century modern, to loft style and sleek and contemporary, Changaris has experienced it. She has 17 years experience in Interior Design, is a member of the National Kitchen and Bath Association, and has 25 years experience in the construction industry.
Whether it’s knocking down walls, adding on to an existing home, or just redesigning a kitchen, no job is too big or too small for Lorrie Changaris Design.
“Remodeling is my specialty,” she says. “And a fresh set of eyes can help to see changes you may not have considered before. Upgrades in cabinetry, countertops or flooring can make a huge difference in a room. So can new appliances, better lighting or making your kitchen or bath more functional for your personal needs.”
Changaris has all the contacts for your entire project – from design inception to the suppliers and contractors to complete the job if you desire. She offers cabinetry, hardware, countertops, plumbing fixtures, flooring, lighting, furnishings, art, window coverings, color consultation, contractor quotes, scale drawings, structural changes and jobsite supervision.
“I like to think of myself as the ‘accessible designer,’ “ she says. “I know that a lot of people aren’t experienced at working with designers, so I always try to be as down to earth and accessible as possible.”
A member of the NKBA, Lorrie Changaris Interior Design is based out of Modesto Direct Appliance, located at 2424 McHenry Avenue in Modesto. For more information, call (209) 238-3000
