I am a Maryland based Interior Designer who is proud to also be a retired Air Force veteran. I work with my clients with the same passion, integrity, and service that I gave to my country for 21 years. Ronald J Smith Interiors believes great design starts with the ability to listen, understand, and development of relationship with our clients. It is our job to take your thoughts and wishes and go beyond your expectations. I was a Fire Fighter while in the military, so I greatly understood the value and importance of someones home. It is crucial that I bring that same care, energy, and respect into every aspect of our projects. We look forward to working with you.
"He is the fourth designer that I interviewed and was the only one that understood my vision and got me, and that is why I worked with him. He has given me peace of mind with my project, and I'm still working with him and it has been a blessing for me!"

This person lacks the credentials of an interior designer or an architect but is considered an expert in designing a project.
"Excellent workers, they left my house like new. Changed my floor, remodeled my bathrooms, I liked it because of their fast work. The kitchen was also remodeled and done very well. I recommended them to my neighbors, they worked well too!"

bluehouse architecture focuses on the interactive and collaborative design process working with both the owner to create a project that satisfies and exceeds expectations. Working with the owner to gain an understanding of his needs and requirements and communicating with the contractor to identify a solution that is possible within the work space are critical components of this process. This involves more than simply developing architectural drawings. Rather, from the beginning of a project, bluehouse develops a solid relationship based upon open communication among all parties. bluehouse actively guides the client through all the stages of design, from the initial meeting where the project parameters are defined, through creating the schematic design and developing completed construction/permit drawings.
"I came to Melissa & Bluehouse a number of years ago as I couldn't visualize the layout to accomplish my goals in what began as a kitchen remodel. Melissa's impeccable handling of my project from the word "go" is nothing but an understatement! Each and every detail I listed from want's & desires to fears & concerns were addressed. Living up to her word every step of the way, Melissa addressed my list while pointing out elements I hadn't thought of. She was aware of my limits and not only kept her bottom line under control, but she didn't design anything out of our budget. Considering we were on track to break ground in the spring of 2020, when Covid hit & supply chains derailed our start, Melissa was poised to do whatever needed to be done. In the end, rising costs & limited supply led us to delay construction until Jan. '23. As a TV news producer, I'm a tough cookie, and yet when I had questions, Melissa answered them honestly and often with visuals to help me understand what I needed to learn. I appreciated her teamwork attitude when working with the Structural Engineers let alone my amazing contractor! Melissa's perfectionism is the reason not one single measurement needed to be modified in what became not just a kitchen remodel, but a 1st-floor remake with our addition going both upstairs & down. When you consider who to hire, consider this, as a newswoman, I interview 3 people for every job, I don't cut corners and nothing gets swept under the rug. Melissa is THAT kind of pro! She is going to do right by you, because she knows what is at stake, and she is only going to put her name on something she stands behind. For that, and a million little reasons, without question, if I had another project, I'd hire her in a heartbeat!"

Owner Stephanie Brick is passionate about transposing homeowners’ dreams and visions into realities. As a licensed architect specializing in custom kitchen design for 15+ years in the DMV, she is known for creating designs that fit their context and respond to client needs, wants, and budget—versus imprinting a signature style—resulting in a client satisfaction rate nearly double the national average. Brick by Brick Kitchens is a one-stop firm for all your kitchen design and remodeling needs. Kitchen projects range from small city rowhomes to suburban mansions, budget-friendly updates to luxury designs, and a la carte consultations to “soup-to-nuts” design-build packages. Our years of expertise and client-centric design approach make it easy to accommodate a range of needs and budgets. As flexibility is a core value, we offer design/cabinetry-only services as well as full remodel packages with installation.
"Architect & designer, Stephanie Brick, has been so great to work with! I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone who is capable, efficient, & will lessen the stress of any project. About 8 years ago she helped us remodel our bathroom. She knew exactly what she was doing & helped guide us thru the process. I still remember standing in a tile showroom, totally overwhelmed by the choices. I called Stephanie, at a loss of what to choose, & within 10 minutes she had reassured me & reframed my task in a new way that gave me clear inspiration. I was placing my tile order within half an hour! Stephen was so good at her job that she somehow ended up making me feel proud of what I'd done! 🤩 Mind you, this was all done with us in CA & Steph in MD. But doing the job long-distance was worth it, because of the quality, design, & integrity Steph brought to the job. We loved our experience so much that she's now designing our kitchen! I would recommend Stephanie with no reservation. "
