Testimonials

Philippe has done some fantastic work for us over the past few years. Our first project was redoing a wall unit that we originally designed when we moved into our new house. We needed one of the blocks of wall board taken out and restructured. He did an excellent job and you cannot even tell that it was any way but the way it is now. Then we redid our kitchen and we designed how we wanted it done and he did the rest. Our cabinets were made board by board, not the kind you order at Home Depot. We wanted them deeper and higher and we changed the look of the top that used to be plant ledges. The marble counter tops were matched on the cuts and the suggestions he made were the right ones. Our kitchen turned out magnificent. We added a pull out spice rack and two areas that were wasted space before now hold kitchen items rarely used. He even did some tile work in an area that we decided we needed to tile after our tile man was finished. Lastly, we bought a new TV and we needed a wall unit to sit the TV on. I could not find anything with the dimensions we wanted so I drew up what I had in mind and Philippe took it from there. Now our TV and unit look like they are one piece.

To say that we are satisfied with his work is an understatement. Unfortunately, the true artistry of his carpenter work is dying. We are very happy that we have him to rely on when we need carpenter work done. Not to mention that he is an honest and fair individual. He does all kinds of work and does it well. We would highly recommend his skills.

The incredible quality of an authentic European native designer... As a furniture designer I have to underline and emphasize the extraordinary quality of the work MDesign was able to perform in such short schedule. I want to thank Philippe and his team for the achievement of our project that opened just in time.

Thanks to MDesign’s performances, I have since November 2009 been granted several other design projects that I will surely carry out with MDesign. With MDesign as your partner, you really can sign a contract with your eyes closed.

I was doing a total remodel of my home in Carrollwood (Tampa, FL) and one item I wanted was a custom wall unit. Working with Phillipe was a pleasure. I wanted the wall unit to look like a built-in - and Phillipe suggested we make it look like a built-in - but make it so I could take it with me if I ever moved. The workmanship was wonderful! At the end, I engaged Phillipe to also do the crown molding in the entire living area to match the wall unit. Looked wonderful! Outstanding!

And then two years later, I met my husband, and moved from Tampa to Sarasota. So I am thrilled that I was able to take the wall unit with me!

Would highly recommend Phillipe! Wonderful experience. Wonderful end result!

My 1926 Spanish-style house was a cabinet maker’s challenge with its "uneven" walls. Philippe was one of the few skilled carpenters that could handle the difficult job. Today my kitchen looks beautiful with his custom maple cabinets.

My kitchen is the first thing people see when they arrive at my house and it always gets "oohs and aahs" from guests.

A dog bed under my breakfast bench, long custom 42" cabinets, beveled glass doors, a custom wine rack, slow closing doors, and so much more.... My custom maple cabinets by Philippe are beautiful. Everyone who enters my home loves my kitchen and I do too!

Thanks for making my house a welcoming home!

Philippe has an attention to detail that is unsurpassed. His work is beautiful, precise and elegant. He reworked an existing entertainment center for me and the result is so good no one realizes that it is the old unit. I would, and do, recommend Philippe to anyone who has a need for exceptional carpentry skills.

My wife and I contracted with Philippe to convert our existing kitchen pantry into a cabinet to match the rest of our kitchen. Philippe came in one day to do the measurements. He came back when he said he would and did the demolition and installed the cabinet front, shelves and doors.

The cabinet front perfectly matches the rest of our kitchen cabinets. He even installed matching crown molding and blended it seamlessly with the existing molding.

The most amazing thing was my wife asked to have a drawer installed in the bottom so she could make use of the wasted space that would have been the baseboard molding. Philippe designed something very special and rolls out smoothly and works perfectly.

Most people that see the cabinet think it was part of the original installation and I think that is the best complement to Philippe’s work.
