Our Story

When you love your work and you’re passionate about what you do you’ll naturally wonder—can this be done better. Can it be better for yourself, better for clients, better for the community and better for the world. Dream Home Cabinets came to fruition when we recognized the need for a better solution for our clients—homeowners, builders, designers, and architects. 

With over two decades of design and build experience, you can expect high-quality, thoughtful designs that take into account not just your cabinets and countertop selections, but a holistic understanding of the overall space and desired esthetic, resulting in a seamless design and a no-headache process.

    she/her/hers

    Originally from Connecticut, work and a love of nature brought Cat to Maine. After a decade with Bose corporation in roles from sales, training, employee development, management, and project management, Cat went back to school for Architectural Drafting and Design. In 2020, she opened her own architectural drafting and design company, Dream Home Interiors, while simultaneously working at a cabinet company in Portsmouth, NH growing her skills. As owner and head designer, Cat’s unique skill set and background guarantee a seamless process from beginning to end. Her favorite part of the process is the before and after photos she gifts to her clients.

    When Cat can’t be found on a job site or at the showroom you might be able to track her down in the mountains, in her yard with her corgis, spending time with her family, or in a hot yoga class.
