I can afford to re-do my (12′) kitchen island right now, and I’m not getting much attention from Lowe’s or Home Depot; the designer hasn’t called back. What are the other options? DIY is not practical, so I’m not going there.
Who else can help me design this island? Where else, besides other Big Boxes, can I go for design and product? I’m looking at upper-end stock cabinets to semi-custom.
Thanks for your time and help!

Look in the phone book under handyman or in the paper.
Take pictures of your kitchen, find pictures in magazines/books of what you what and then head for the nearest home improvement store (like Home Depot). They have kitchen designers that will do all sorts of work for you, for free! Of course, they will have to charge you for a measure if that is needed, and they will try to sell you merchandise from their store to make your “dream” come true…but give it a try!
What you also might consider is going to the local college for an interior design student.
They’ll be eager to please, need the experience and you’ll get exactly what you want as well as be listened to.
go down to “Labor Ready” and take someone aside you think you can trust and who is capable….then go on a shopping spree at Lowes /Homedepot look under employment in the yellow pages for Labor Ready or Labor finders…tons of people looking for work every morning ! DON’T go thru the agency…they’ll rob you….hang out for a half hour to see who is who…then pull them aside outside. good luck.
