If you have a space that’s ready to be more functional, stylish and just more you, we can help you reimagine it. From the mudroom, closet, library or any other space in your home, we love finding ways to use unique spaces and give your home a glow up.
At Marlene & Co, we transform outdated or underutilized areas of your home into beautifully functional spaces. Instead of working around compartmentalized layouts, we rethink them, creating opportunities for mudrooms, pantries, home offices, laundry rooms, or other smart solutions that truly support your lifestyle.
With 25 years of design experience, we often uncover possibilities homeowners never considered. Many of our clients begin with a kitchen or bath remodel and soon realize it’s the perfect time to reimagine adjacent or smaller areas as well. Tackling these spaces together not only enhances efficiency and flow throughout the home. It maximizes budget, minimizes disruption, and delivers a cohesive, elevated result.
Our design-build formula ensures your remodel delivers maximum beauty, efficiency, and long‑term value.
Your home should work as beautifully as it looks. If you have a space that is calling to be freshened up, we can refresh it together.
Every design project begins with a chat about your style, routines, and what you want this space to do better.
We turn inspiration into plans with smart layouts, beautiful cabinetry and custom details that match how the space will be used.
We manage the details so everything comes together seamlessly. From demolition to the final finishes, every surface will shine.
Our design & build process allows you, the homeowner to hire one team to take care of your entire remodeling project. That means all the design details, timelines, orders, and subcontractors are managed by our team to streamline the process for you.

We are excited you are considering Marlene & Co for your home project and are happy to answer any questions you might have. Let’s get started!
Many older homes were built with small, compartmentalized rooms that don’t reflect how families live today. At Marlene & Co, we don’t just design stunning kitchens and baths, we look at the whole home to uncover opportunities to improve the way your space functions.
When remodeling your kitchen or bath, it’s the perfect time to rethink underutilized areas and explore whether a new layout could make everyday life easier. Sometimes this means creating a mudroom, walk‑in pantry, or dedicated laundry room. Other times, it’s about making small but strategic adjustments that dramatically improve flow and usability.
Marlene is known for transforming bulky, inefficient closets into custom, beautiful cabinetry that adds charm, functionality, and storage you’ll actually enjoy using. Whether it’s a full reimagining of your home’s footprint or thoughtful refinements within an existing space, our goal is always the same: to make your home work better for you.
Remodeling is a major investment, and it should deliver the greatest value possible. We pride ourselves on thinking creatively and offering solutions many homeowners never realize are possible. We often hear: “I never would have thought of that!”, and that’s exactly what sets us apart.
