About Us

Our Story
Yes, there really is a Rose at “Rose, the Kitchen Lady LLC”. That’s me, Rose Robbins, the Kitchen Lady herself!
It all started when I graduated with a Bachelor of Sciences in Architecture and Urban Development from the Catholic University of Santos-Sao Paulo, in my native land of Brazil. I emigrated to the United States in 1988, got married and started raising my family. They always loved my cooking, and I loved to do it as well. Eventually this inspired me to combine my talent for preparing food and my training in design to enter the field of kitchen design in 1998. Having skills in both cooking, and designing the place to cook in, gives me a unique ability to create kitchens that are not only beautiful and classy, but easy to use, functional and efficient. But don’t worry, we’re also happy to do bathrooms, closets, laundry rooms, basements or any other interior remodeling project!
In 2014 I decided to go into business for myself, and founded my company, along with my husband Richard, in our hometown of Westport, CT. The name comes from the times I would show up at a customer’s house and hear, “the kitchen lady’s here!” Later my son John Clark became a talented designer and architect in his own right, and also started his own business, “J.P. Clark Designs”. We now work closely together, and our family has done many remodeling projects in the beautiful and luxurious homes of Fairfield County. Our family teamwork, combined with the finest local craftsmen who we work with, makes “Rose, The Kitchen Lady LLC” the premier kitchen, bathroom, and interior design studio in Fairfield County, CT.

Our Reviews
Rose, the Kitchen Lady always leaves her customers satisfied, and has the 5-star Google rating to prove it. See some of our great reviews below.
I cannot recommend Rose highly enough! She was absolutely wonderful to work with and our bathroom and master closet renovation turned out better than we could have imagined. Rose was responsive, understanding, and happy to work with us on exactly what we wanted within our budget. She took care of everything - she helped us design the bathroom, figure out the closet layout, she coordinated all of the vendors and their schedules. We never had to worry about anything, Rose took care of it all.

Our new powder room is gorgeous! Even better the process was as painless and enjoyable as it could be. Rose (and her son) really listened and made our vision a reality. They take real ownership for their work too, not stopping until it is perfect. Highly recommend!

As a professional in the business, I only heard great things about Rose, The Kitchen Lady and had the best feed back from their customers. They are very professional and honest. I would use them my self for my house and recommend them to my friends and Family members.

We had never worked on counters before but the Rose Kitchen Lady went above and beyond to make sure we had a 5-star experience from start to finish. They got our countertops ready and installed under budget and earlier than anyone else could do, too. We get a ton of compliments on our new countertops. They made it super easy!

Working with Rose, we started from scratch to build a custom bathroom and closet in our unfinished attic space. She was very helpful, knowledgeable and cost conscious of our budget. She made the whole process seamless. She was always very responsive to emails/phone calls and even went out of her way to go to our house to accept a cabinet delivery while we were out of town. We will definitely use her again if we have any redesigning needs!

Rose and Richard were so knowledgeable about all the options and designs available. They were very patient as I made my decisions. They went out of their way to bring me samples and submitted multiple designs as I changed my plan. Their pricing is competitive and their personal customer service is above any other. They stand by their work. I highly recommend them.

Fabulous job! I could not be happier. They did a better job than anybody I have dealt with. Anyone that would not deal with them is making a mistake. Unbelievable. No one in Connecticut should use anyone else.

All in all it went fine. The end result is simply beautiful. There were some glitches here and there, as might be on any large, complex project. But if a problem did come up, Rose and Richard were quick to respond. They clearly put the customer first. They were there throughout the project overseeing everything and problem solving when needed. They clearly regard customer satisfaction as their highest measure of success. I put a “B” for punctuality only because the project took much longer than anyone expected (some of that was our doing), but some was the result of the challenges associated with coordinating the various disciplines involved (plumbing, electrical, stonework, tile, etc.) But again, Rose and Richard work hard to resolve any issues and make us satisfied. Which we were.

Rose did a fantastic job. She is very patient and considers your needs and helped us with the details. She chose the best quality for the customer. Our new kitchen looks beautiful. I would highly recommend her.

If you are looking to redo your kitchen at any budget Rose can help! She was accommodating and was available to speak on any day of the week! They also gutted my kitchen and were finished with everything in less than 8 weeks! They were so good that I referred them to my brother and he is now doing the kitchen and both bathrooms!

I had a very great experience with her. She was very precise. I would highly recommend her.
