Dalia Kitchen Designs

Don't be fooled by the Design Center address—Dalia is open to the public. Offering their own custom lines and several top-drawer brands (Christopher Peacock and Chalon, to name two), the folks at this 10,000-square-foot showcase welcome neophytes and veterans alike to the joys of kitchen design. One insider notes of owner Dalia Tamari, "Clients feel very confident with her." No blueprint yet? No problem. The Dalia pros will gladly work with you to bring your dream kitchen to life. Fancy one of their cabinets but wish it came in another finish? They'll come to your home and handpaint it the desired color.
