ABOUT

Ellen Brotzman, The Cabinet Lady, relocated from Cary to Morehead City in 2012 to open a second branch of her thriving cabinet business. An exquisite cabinet designer with 23 years of kitchen design experience, Ellen is also experienced at home: married 40 years, mother of four grown children, homemaker, cook, and creative renovator of many fixer-upper homes. She continually delights her customers with unique insight into what makes a kitchen beautiful, functional and affordable (see testimonials). Passionate about her work, The Cabinet Lady truly cares about the thousand tiny details working together to make even the smallest kitchen be the BEST it can be. Ellen oversees every aspect of each job herself: design, color selection, measuring, ordering every last piece of cabinetry, and overseeing the installation. You will have her complete attention, and never have your project passed off to anyone, EVER. The Cabinet Lady's customer service and attention to detail are unmatched in the industry – a breath of fresh air!.

By keeping overhead low, The Cabinet Lady can offer outstanding designer quality and attention to detail for the same price as the big box stores. How does The Cabinet Lady keep overhead costs low? She works from a small design studio instead of a large showroom. The fact is, overhead costs in a traditional cabinet showroom necessitate substantial mark-ups, often making the cabinetry unaffordable. Showroom displays quickly become outdated, and the rigid hours and client overload make it difficult for a designer to offer the prompt, outstanding service and attention to detail that customers deserve. The Cabinet Lady takes a fresh new approach by minimizing overhead expenses and offering flexible hours to meet with customers at THEIR convenience – an idea whose time has come.

The Cabinet Lady offers cabinets to suit every budget. Whether yours is an oceanfront estate, a simple beach trailer, or something in between, I have carefully selected my products to make sure I have something that will work for you. Click here for more information about my cabinet lines.

I invite you to browse my online portfolio, and if you wish, I'll take you to visit the homes of customers who have purchased these products. These REAL kitchens serve as my showroom, helping me keep my overhead costs (and therefore your price) lower – now there's a smart idea!
