Mary Ann Elston's search for products for her own dream home became an unexpected path to her career in 2001 when she and her husband, Terry, a custom home builder, were building their home. They diligently searched for high-end, custom products with a reputation for high quality, for their own kitchen and baths, but were unable to find what they truly wanted in their area.
Mary Ann and Terry then realized the need in North Louisiana for a locally owned, custom, home design firm that specialized in both design and premier quality products with unique cutting-edge design features and technology.

Mary Patten was the sales representative I worked with and she was very knowledgeable on all products. I bought all of my tiles from them as well as a full appliance package and got a fabulous deal. Mary was professional, nice, responsive and took care of all of my needs. I would definitely recommend this business for anyone looking to remodel their home or a refresh of any space.
It's a one-stop shop with great quality and they stand behind all of their products. Even down to the delivery men that brought all appliances were also very helpful and fast, they brought all appliances from the truck into my home in less than an hour. I was very impressed. Consider The Cottage for all of your remodeling needs! I will definitely be calling them again in the future. Thank you Mary for all your help - YOU ROCK!

I highly recommend the Cottage for tile and stone as well as appliances. Their service is second to none! They have excellent designers that helped us with the selection and installation of stone tile in our new master bathroom. They have a beautiful selection of tile with just about anything you would want for your home.

Building a new home can be a very stressful experience, but Christopher at Kitchen & Bath Cottage eased my mind with our appliance selection and delivery logistics. We bought six beautiful KitchenAid appliances which are like jewelry in our kitchen and I can't wait to start using them! Chris showed the ultimate in customer service and attention to detail. I would not hesitate to recommend him for your home design projects.

Christopher with the Kitchen & Bath Cottage installed Solatubes in our new showroom and the natural light it provides is amazing. The entire crew at the Cottage did an outstanding job of installing and we highly recommend the Cottage for any needs you have with your building or remodeling projects. They carry several lines of appliances as well as Marvin Windows and Doors which are excellent.

In 2011, we renovated our back yard and built an outdoor kitchen. We decided to work with Mary Patten with the Kitchen & Bath Cottage, and we couldn't have been more impressed. In addition to being friendly and knowledgeable about all our options, her prices matched the best prices we found on the internet for high end appliances. Fast forward to 2015, and it was time for a kitchen renovation. Same results! Kitchen & Bath Cottage is definitely the way to go!

I enjoyed working with Kitchen and Bath Cottage on my project in Natchitoches. Kori was very helpful with planning, layout, lighting, materials and finishes. She delivered renderings and stayed within my budget for design and consultation. Even though I did my own work, the knowledge and experience of the design professionals at Kitchen and Bath Cottage was extremely helpful in the completion of my remodel.

As a local contractor we have used the Kitchen & Bath Cottage on numerous projects and they have never let us down. The staff is very experienced and ready to help research any questions when information may not be at hand. No matter the size of the project they are more than willing to work with us and the homeowner achieve a beautifully designed and functional end result.
Sometimes homeowners think if they don't get everything from them we can't use them, but that's not the case. Be it cabinets, appliances, hardware, Marvin windows or solar tubes we are able to find many of the products we need all in one local showroom. We will continue to look to the Cottage to meet the needs of our homeowners.

My experience with Kitchen and Bath Cottage was great. They did all the cabinets in our home. I love all the little extra features that they offer with cabinets and drawers. Their customer service was great as were the employees who installed all of the cabinets. We have Wolf brand and Sub Zero appliances and love them. They stand behind all of there products. I highly recommend the Kitchen and Bath Cottage.

Fabulous products and excellent service! We love our new cabinets from Kitchen and Bath Cottage. Kori Shurley is very talented in interior design and did a great job helping us design the cabinets to meet our needs. She had some great ideas that we never would have thought of on our own. Their beautiful new showroom gave us some great inspiration as well! You'll walk out of there wanting everything in there. I highly recommend visiting Kitchen and Bath Cottage for your cabinet and appliance needs!
