My name is Nou, and my wife is Teresa. We have lived in this townhouse in Annandale, Virginia, for 9 years now. When we bought this house, the kitchen and dining room were separated by a wall. The kitchen had kind of dark traditional style cabinets and a countertop with a black color, and so the whole kitchen was kind of dark with traditional style. Also, the dining room was located inner part of the floor, and it was kind of dark, and we hardly used it. So, we wanted to convert this dark traditional kitchen into a bright one with a modern design and open space.
We started looking for kitchen remodeling companies in the area that specialize in modern design, and there weren’t many. Most of the companies we saw emphasized traditional design. So, we were searching online, and we came across Boss Design, which had some examples of modern kitchen design. When I called Boss Design and got connected to Talha, I quickly told him what we were looking for—a modern design, a white kitchen. He listened, and what we liked was he didn’t ask for our budget at the beginning because we were afraid if we had to throw a number, he might say that it was too low for him to consider. So, we were happy about that. A few days later, Talha came over for his initial consultation. We gave him a wish list, basically, and at the end, we told him our rough budget. In the end, he told us that he could work something for us, so we decided to continue with Boss Design.
Construction process was smooth, more quicker. The proposed crew members were extremely skillful. There were about a dozen of them or maybe more, but some of them possessed multiple skills in multiple different disciplines like carpentry, plumbing, electric, tile work, or painting. It was obvious that they all possessed years of experience and paid attention to details. They were also extremely courteous and friendly. We are extremely happy with the end result. We are smiling every day. The kitchen looks much bigger than we had anticipated, with plenty of cabinet space, as Talha had promised.
Definitely, I would recommend Boss Design if you’re considering, especially modern design kitchens. So my wife is originally from Spain, and we travel to Spain from time to time and over there, a white kitchen with a sleek design is a standard. So, I have seen that really, and that was appealing to us, and that’s what we wanted, and that’s why we wanted a white-based, modern, sleek design.
Hello, we’re Noel and Catherine. We’re here in McLean, Virginia.
So we recently remodeled our kitchen and our first floor. The way it looked before was there was a wall here when you walked in, so the dining room and the living room were completely separated. There was a step down; this house was built in the 80s, so there are a lot of levels in the house. The walls were yellow, and the floor was a really dark reddish mahogany color.
In the kitchen, it was also closed off. It had an L-shaped island, and it was just really dark with one small window. We knew we always wanted to remodel it, but we were just looking for the right time and the opportunity to open it up, make it feel brighter, allow more natural light, and lighten up the colors in the kitchen.
We found Boss Design by doing some research on Houzz and local designers, when we were interviewing, we really liked the concept that they had remodeled a very similar home with the exact same footprint and theme vision. Being able to see the end product helped us envision what our house could be.
We interviewed a couple of other remodeling and design companies, but their concepts were either different from what we wanted, or they discouraged us from having the open floor concept. Boss Design felt like a good blend of having the vision and the experience of executing it in the past.
I think we went through a lot of different iterations and thoughts from different designers in terms of like really doing a whole blowout and extending the house or just working with what we had and you know just rearranging the cabinets and so forth. Boss Design had a really good vision, and they walked us through it.
A couple of other designers gave us some proposals, but Boss Design worked on a house with a similar layout, giving us an idea of what was possible. Taha really shared ideas about taking down the wall, lifting up the floor, and making it more cohesive and modern. It was a fun process of designing everything.
This house was built in the 80s, so there was a step down when you walked in, and a wall closed off the kitchen. Taha’s ideas of making it more modern by taking down the wall and rearranging the mudroom were eye-opening. It made the space more functional and organized.
The overall experience working with Taha and Boss Design was great. In the design process, we were indecisive, but Taha was flexible and presented ideas that we enjoyed. He had a specific vision and advised us on what would work well. Living in the house during construction had its challenges, but planning everything in advance made it go smoothly.
The end result was worth it. The flow from the kitchen to the living room, dining room, mudroom, and other areas on the first floor feels cohesive. It doesn’t feel like a kitchen renovated in 2023 and the rest of the house from the 80s. Taha’s design eye and collaboration made the process enjoyable, and the crew was fantastic.
Thank you.

We moved here in 2016. My husband and I moved here in 2016, and this kitchen was primarily used for social functions and for ministry. My husband and I are active in marriage ministry at our church. Couples usually come here, and we minister to them. Dinner is a huge thing for couples. The old kitchen design wasn’t functioning because it’s enclosed, and we only have one sink. In the past, in marriage ministry, that sometimes became a conflicting point between me and my husband. I’m cooking, and I have to run to the dishwasher or to the sink, and my husband loves to help me in the kitchen, so sometimes it’s a clash. It creates conflict.
We thought of ways to make the kitchen work, to make it a social kitchen, and at the same time, we’re not going to clash. We looked for different contractors and found Boss Design because Sean occurred. I worked with Sean in Boss Design, and he is a genius. He removed the walls here, like the bar area, and I love the open concept that he did. It’s amazing how he transformed that space from a closed one to an open concept like this.
Now we don’t bump into each other anymore. My husband has a huge sink, 45 inches, and I have a prep sink in the corner, close to my cooktop. There are two different zones here, one for dishwashing and the other for prep. That achieves the function of the kitchen. My husband and I chose this beautiful countertop at the Stone Center.
It’s Brazilian, called Elegant Gray Quartzite. I don’t like tiles because it’s too much work. I have allergies, so I don’t like dust. Even the cabinet is all the way to the top, so it doesn’t accumulate dust, and everything is hidden. I like the clean function. You’ll notice we don’t have much carpet; everything is hardwood because of my allergies. It’s easy to clean. I highly recommend Boss Design and choose Sean or Coral. I worked with Sean, and he is a genius. I’m so happy with my kitchen.
Hey, my name is Kelly. I’m here in McLean, Virginia. I am in a mid-century modern contemporary home; however, the kitchen did not match the style of the house. So we were looking to renovate, and we had a wall to take down to open up the flow from the kitchen to the dining room. We were looking for something mid-century to fit the home.
We looked around for several companies, actually signed up with one temporarily, went through about two two-month process with them, and realized they weren’t the right fit. The design style and offerings weren’t what we wanted. So we switched. We interviewed some more and came across Taha with Boss Design Center. He blew me away the first time he stepped into the house. He had a vision immediately for what to do with the kitchen, and we fell in love with it. So there was no question he was the person to go with; this company was the person to go with.
The construction crew was fantastic; we actually made friends with most of them. They always cleaned up after themselves, were very pleasant, and did an excellent job. We’re super happy with it. We have a huge island that we’ve always wanted. The flow is great, the function is great, and we would totally recommend Taha at Boss to anyone looking to redesign their kitchen, bathroom or anything. He does it all. So you’ll be disappointed; he’s a gem, he’s fantastic. He is with you every step of the way. Any stress that I had, any question that I had, if I was in a panic about something, I would call him, and he had a solution right there immediately. It was just a great experience. I would absolutely do it again, and I will use it again for other projects in the home.
So, with the mid-century modern home, we wanted to pick finishes that complemented that. We went with a thin shaker-style cabinet, so the cabinet’s border is narrow. We wanted a black and white, clean lines, timeless look. We could add our pops of color or our own personal touch with accessories. The tile, the diamond shape with a 3D texture, was attractive to us. The backsplash was laid out to show the whole tile across the center, which we really liked. The hood of the oven had a seamless look, complementing everything and keeping it neat and tight for our style.
Well, he brought a lot of the ideas himself. Initially, I thought I wanted the stove on the island, but he said no; it’s not a good fit for this kitchen. He moved everything around, so it wasn’t just a plug-and-play cookie-cutter kind of thing. His design transformed the 90s kitchen into what’s behind me now, a mid-century modern masterpiece. When he first entered this kitchen, it was a 90s kitchen. He knew right away what he wanted to do. I told him what I wanted to do; some of the pieces worked, but his vision is what’s behind me. He really blew it out of the park.
