“So, Steve, Ben, Mike, the Nest Team helped us renovate our apartment. Almost a full gut renovation. They did this whole fireplace area, which – there was an existing fireplace with some old brick there. They found some material that they could cover the brick with and extended it out to the left to create that space for the wood, and using that space for the wood, they sort of designed a very, you know, smart and cute way to hide all the cords that lead into the TV behind the stone that’s on the front.

And there’s like a secret compartment above the, the cavity where the wood is that holds our Apple TV and all of our other equipment. So you don’t have to see anything, which is really clever. And so we really love how this area turned out. They also fully renovated our kitchen, pulled everything out and replaced the whole thing, in addition to adding on this little office over here, this little desk space, which is my work from home office. You know, I love how Steve, Mike, Ben, and the team designed the kitchen with the wood, which brings in the warmth and then the light and the dark colors to really accent. I love the minimalist look. It was amazing working with Mike and Steve, Ben, the whole Nest team, because we didn’t work with an architect. We didn’t work with a designer.

They helped us design everything from a contracting perspective, but also from a design esthetic perspective. Steve has a really good eye, is really good taste. He’s great at, you know, drawing things out in CAD and really giving you options to look at. So you get to cut out having another person, another opinion, more complication, just really seamless because they’re really like an all in one shop.

So we fully redid the kitchen. I can’t tell you how happy I am with how everything’s turned out. Everything’s just clean lines, things work beautifully. These cabinets are, you know, a nice crowd pleaser. They also open up nice and high. Everything’s very adjustable. And, you know, we’re a family where we cook every day. We like having big meals. We have a big table. We have a huge island. They found this amazing material that could be basically joined in the unit. And so we didn’t have to crane in a big piece of stone through the window, which would have been prohibitively expensive. And I really didn’t want to seem visible because I love this minimalist look. And all credit to Steve and Nash, because without them, there’s no way we would have even known this existed.

So everything about this kitchen, there’s not one thing I would change I love it. We eat here every day and if we especially work from home, I’m here all the time.”
