Meet Tammy
Beautiful is important.
But Functional is Everything.
I'm Tammy Battistessa, owner and principal designer of Ellaire Kitchen and Bath Design. I specialize in kitchen, bath, and whole-home remodels throughout Truckee, Lake Tahoe, and Sacramento.
I believe a successful remodel should make your home more beautiful and make everyday life easier. That means thoughtful planning, smart solutions, and timeless design tailored to how you live.
Northern California is home, and I bring a deep appreciation for our architecture, climate, and lifestyle into every project.
Function First, Always
I've seen it too many times-beautiful homes that don't actually work.
Awkward layouts. No storage. Bathrooms with zero privacy.
Spaces that look good in photos but create daily friction.
If function and flow aren't better when we're done, we've missed an opportunity.
A Designer Who Thinks Like a Project Manager
Before becoming a designer, I spent years in data analysis and IT project management managing complex projects, solving problems, and keeping everything on track.
Today, those skills are at the heart of how I design.
I anticipate challenges, organize the details, coordinate the moving parts, and keep your remodel running smoothly from concept to completion. The result? A clear process, fewer surprises, and a space you'll love living in.
My Design Perspective
ROOTED IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
Our landscape, climate, and lifestyle influence every decision I make.
CLEAN, NATURAL, TIMELESS
I love layered neutrals, organic materials, and spaces that feel calm and collected.
THOUGHTFUL BY DESIGN
Every inch has a purpose. Beautiful spaces should make everyday life easier.
COLLABORATIVE AND PERSONAL
This is your home. I listen closely, communicate clearly, and advocate for you every step of the way.
WHAT CLIENTS APPRECIATE MOST
✓ I ask the right questions and truly listen
✓ I solve problems others overlook
✓ I create spaces that are beautiful and functional
✓ I manage the details so you don't have to
✓ I keep projects moving forward with clear communication
My goal is simple: to create a home that's not only stunning, but one that supports the way you live every day.
READY TO CREATE A HOME
THAT WORKS BEAUTIFULLY FOR YOU?
Whether you're remodeling a kitchen, updating a bath, or planning a whole-home renovation, I'd love to help.
“Both times Tammy designed a workspace for us, we both worried that we wouldn’t have sufficient storage space. Both times we ended up with extra space. We are so grateful.”
