No Detailed Missed!

We hired Pulsar Kitchens on the recommendation of a friend, who spoke very highly of them. We were not disappointed!

Lillian helped us in every aspect of the project - from the design of the full reno, to sourcing materials (even shopping with us), dealing with our contractor, overseeing the build and install of the cabinetry and even providing furniture and paint advice. She was definitely our "secret weapon" and our entire reno would not have been so successful without her.

Pulsar is so much more than just a place to get cabinets - but, that said, the craftsmanship from Vlad and team was amazing. Our cabinetry is beautiful and every detail was considered. Every inch of our space was used efficiently. We are thrilled with the final product.

. Bedroom

Lillian was recommended to me through a friend. We needed to redesign our existing walk-in closet to optimize space and functionality as well as create additional space within the room. Lillian presented at least 4 really great innovative designs. We are thrilled with the outcome of the room. The quality of workmanship, the quality of materials combined sol Lillian's passion and commitment made the experience a pleasure. Both Lillian and Vlad are perfectionists. I have referred them to 2 friends who have been equally happy with their work.

Kitchen renovation

Wow! That is the word I hear from everyone when they see my new kitchen and it really describes the transformation. Lillian was wonderful to work with and she helped me at every step to design my dream kitchen and then she worked tirelessly to make it a reality. Her attention to detail, patience and vision were key to this successful renovation. The quality of the cabinets is excellent and their installer was meticulous. Any renovation in an older home has some surprises and Vlad and Lillian found solutions and made adaptations needed with minimal disruption. It was a pleasure to work with both of them.

Kitchen renovation

We had a good experience with Pulsar. Lillian provided an excellent design that met some of the challenges in our home due to age and structural limitations. The cabinets look great and much more functional. The installer was polite and left the space tidy.

Kitchen Reno

My husband and I finally made the decision to open up our dungeon of a kitchen, to the dining room space. A good friend recommended Pulsar Design Inc. and boy am I glad we made that call! Lillian was fantastic right from our initial meeting, you could tell the moment she walked into the space she already had ideas running around in her mind. Throughout the whole process Lillian had everything under control; she is a magician with numbers and has an amazing eye for design and detail. Our home is a small bungalow that you must utilize every inch. Lillian opened my eyes to a myriad of options to make the best use of the space and I am glad I followed her direction. Vlad is a true craftsman and you can tell the care he puts into his product, as every piece he made was stunning and on point! For the past 10 years I was separated from my family when it came to preparing meals. Because of the work of Lillian, Vlad and their crew, I can now hear the stories of my childrens day, while they sit at the peninsula eagerly awaiting the left over cookie dough in/on the bowl and spoon. This time is precious and I can't say enough, how much it means to me to be able to share these memories with them in this fantastic space! Thank you Lillian and Vlad you guys changed our lives!

Basement wet bar/kitchen and book shelves.

Lillian & Vlad (Pulsar Design) were absolutely wonderful to deal with from the get go. Lillian brought our vision for our basement cabinetry and design to life and improved upon it. She also made suggestions along the way that improved upon our overall basement reno. Both she and Vlad pay meticulous attention to detail, worked through each decision with us from choice of colour, material, size, layout, etc. Lillian and Vlad are an absolute pleasure to deal with and with look forward to working with them on our next Reno project....in our view, their professionalism, quality of work, quality of material, overall caring and concern for each project they work on is absolutely wonderful and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to family and friends.

Kitchen Renovation

Not only is my kitchen more beautiful than I could ever have dreamed of, Lillian’s focus on all the aesthetic and functional details makes it’s a delight to work in every day. There were absolutely no regrets or oversights. An unexpected bonus was the joy of working with such dedicated, enthusiastic and skilled professionals who genuinely allowed me to be a full collaborated partner in the design. Lillian’s and Vlad’s expertise turned my vision into a real life masterpiece.
I first met Lillian and Vlad 14 years ago when we had just purchases a small 1959 bungalow. Then they renovated another contractor’s new but poorly planned and cheaply done kitchen. Pulsar Design made it functional and added some small upgraded features, modest but important improvements. All we were prepared to do at the time.
More than a decade later, I called Lillian again but this time it was to create my dream kitchen. When she walked in I would see her mind already excited by the design possibilities. Then she noticeably stopped herself and said “Tell me what you have in mind.” I had very specific ideas: the stain for the cupboards, the positioning of the sink and the microwave, the type of backsplash, countertop, flooring, drawer inserts etc.
Lillian immediately began to improve on my vision, suggesting to gain more space we remove the bulkhead and shorten the depth of the island drawers. Her keen observation skills noted that the existing breakfast bar was higher than normal so it made it difficult for people to sit comfortably at it. When I excitedly I suggested glass doors with lead inserts, Lillian cautioned “You already have a lot going on here” and she was right, less was more.
Lillian worked with awe inspiring precision to give me all the extra space she could to the nearest 1/4'’. She reworked the design numerous times to accommodate the drawer inserts I wanted while ensuring I had enough counter space beside the stove and the sink. (We joked that the whole kitchen had been designed around the garbage can inserts.)

Kitchen Reno

Pulsar Review

The short version: we love our kitchen!

The long version:

Lillian worked hard and ceaselessly to provide the best kitchen we could get.
She consulted and advised on every stage of the innovative design, revising to find the best one. Her ideas and creativity took our ideas to another level.
She was on-site regularly to consult and ensure quality installations.
She worked with the trades to ensure that the designs were followed.
She advised on the hardware and appliances, then found us the best prices.
She inspected the counter-tops, sending two back to be redone when they didn’t meet her standards.
Working with Lillian is working with a caring professional who gives 110%.
