Professionals Educated, creative, talented professional kitchen, bath, library, entertainment center, and closet designers, plus window and door professionals, serve clients at every Spaces and Views showroom. CABINETRY DESIGNERS: Spaces and Views combines the impeccable standards of Wood-Mode and Brookhaven fine cabinetry (and our other excellent lines) with a professional staff that designs, engineers, and project manages more than 600 residential and 700 high-rise and multi-unit kitchens, baths, libraries, and other projects each year, in virtually every city neighborhood and every suburb. We are particularly proud of our space, kitchen, and interior designers. All are well educated (and continually re-trained), sophisticated, extremely knowledgeable, friendly, creative and talented. Style and good taste, of course, cannot be trained – each artist is born with an eye for his or her work. We seek out and hire only the best. Rest assured that your Spaces and Views designer knows every look, from ultra-contemporary to transitional to traditional (Wood-Mode and Brookhaven have dozens of each), every finish (from aluminum to white to black to cherry to maple, and everything in between), every countertop, fixture, appliance and piece of hardware. More important, they know how to put spaces together, in kitchens, master baths, closets, studies, libraries, etc. Every Spaces and Views and SmartRooms designer works on CAD, hand-in-hand with your architect, custom builder, builder, remodeling company, contractor, interior designer, etc. Or, we work with consumers directly.

Witkowski
Pawel received his Bachelor Degree in Interior Design from Harrington College of Design in Chicago. As the lead at Spaces and Views Highland Park since 2002, Pawel established a significant reputation for his designs within the North Shore community. His work has been published in North Shore Magazine and Chicago Tribune. Realizing that most clients are visual, Pawel uses his extensive portfolio to showcase a variety of ideas to help clients hone in on what appeals to them. He then incorporates each client’s personality into the space while maintaining their budget. Pawel’s inspiration is drawn from many travels abroad, especially his love of European architecture and design. Catherine
Karabas
Catherine blends her outgoing personality and love of color with extensive sales and design experience to introduce clients to the exquisite world of custom cabinetry. With strong design and construction experience contributing to her expertise, Catherine understands and communicates the specific needs of every project to ensure a smooth and accurate process. Since joining the Spaces and Views Highland Park team in early 2005, Catherine continually assists clients with her easy, natural approach to defining personal styles and finishes.
Eileen Baumgarten: Eileen is a designer and busy mother who helps anchor our Highland Park location on a part-time basis. We wish we could have more of her time! She has always been involved with the arts (she has a music degree in Organ from the University of Oklahoma), so kitchen design comes naturally to her. You might have heard her playing organ at a local church and not known it! Eileen is a “people person” who forms relationships with clients and knows their lifestyles, needs, and desires before she begins their designs. She believes that in our non-stop, busy culture, every person needs a place of his or her own. So, she tries to create very personal, aesthetically beautiful designs within a framework of functionality for her clients. Krista

Krista joined the Spaces and Views team as a Designer at our north side Lee Lumber location in 2010 after working for a high-end kitchen and bath showroom in central Illinois for several years.

Since graduating in 2006, she has also earned her Associate Kitchen and Bath Designer (AKBD) accreditation from NKBA and is a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS). Krista is now looking forward to pursuing her accreditation as a Certified Kitchen Designer (CKD). Between her eye for design and various certifications, Krista has been an exciting addition to Spaces and Views and a client favorite. Jaclyn
