February 17, 2010 THE VILLADOM TIMES I, II, III & IV • Page 13 Reflections On Ramsey Businesses Rose Marie Carr of Kitchens by Rose F or the last 13 years, Rose has been using her expertise to help homeowners through the process of updating their kitchens, taking their dreams and making them a reality. Not only are kitch- ens her specialty, but bathrooms, media centers, and other rooms are as well. Three years ago, she struck out on her own, and recently opened her own design studio at 25 East Main Street, Ramsey. “We carry many product lines at all price points, so we are able to fit all of our clients’ needs,” Rose explains. She adds that she also works closely with builders, Rose Marie Carr contractors, architects, and many trade representatives, so clients have ready access to everything they need to complete each project to perfection. “We are a very hands-on, and attention oriented firm,” Rose says. “We really care about the customer, and we’re there every step of the way. We make sure the whole project comes together for them as effortlessly as possible.” Rose also offers her clients a state-of-the-art computer aided design program that enables the client to experience a detailed virtual tour that includes every design element. “It’s like you’re really in the room,” she says. At Kitchens by Rose, along with her outstanding design team, she has created a warm, enthusiastic and welcoming atmosphere for all who visit the showroom. Rose says, “Cli- ents become a major part of our lives and many stay in touch even after the project is fully completed.” Rose studied fine art at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. She later studied interior design at Berkeley College. Her attention to detail led her to focus her talents to kitchens and other rooms with cabinetry. Her work has been featured in and on the cover of leading national magazines. She has received several design awards, and was honored to have one of her kitchen designs exhibited in the Ridgewood’s Valley Hospital Auxiliary Kitchen Tour. Rose is a member of the National Kitchen and Bath Association and the North Jersey Builders Association. For more information, phone (201) 785-1313.
