A BRAVE NEW BLOG...

My first entry!!!  Well, here I am almost ten years since my father broke the news to me that he wanted to hit golf balls more than hang out with me and design kitchens and shovel snow... Ouch! That is when I decided to open my own design firm, K.Marshall Design. Bottom line I am a lucky daughter from a special family. My father, a talented designer, cabinet maker, mentor, son of a master cabinet maker and grandson of a master cabinet maker from the old world. Roots deep in South Boston, Ireland, Scotland and Scandinavia I come to my craft honestly...I was carted around the construction sites of Boston as early as I can remember and I am always excited at the prospect of a new project.

My father bought a 1900's Shingle Style home and brought her back to life.  This was very impressionable to me at an early age. My dad pulled the best talent to work on this beauty, the crew become like family to me.  I would tag along as they re-pointed the stone walls, striped the molding and repaired the broken trim...I LOVED IT!  Fast forward to 2012, I just finished my fourth "This Old House" project. It is a dream realized started a long time ago with a father who had a daughter that showed and interest...

Over the next several months I hope to post some fun facts, photos and kitchen adventures with some wonderful clients.  See you soon!
