Cutting Edge Design is a kitchen and bathroom design studio at 125 High Street in Mansfield, Massachusetts, with Mary Donaruma as the designer homeowners consistently work with. The firm is hired mainly for kitchen and bathroom remodel design — layouts, cabinetry, and full renovations — and lists coverage across dozens of towns in southeastern Massachusetts and MetroWest, including Foxborough, Norton, Sharon, Canton, Taunton, Walpole, and Stoughton. The track record on Houzz is deep for a small design firm: 70 ratings averaging 5.0 stars, 186 projects posted, and a dozen detailed reviews spanning 2024 through 2026, almost all naming Mary Donaruma personally. Homeowners describe her walking them through full kitchen gut renovations, designing a layout that worked for two cooks with different needs, and helping select cabinets and countertops. In one review, a client credits her with connecting them to a reliable general contractor and pointing them toward flooring and countertop resources rather than handling those trades herself. Reviews from the past six months follow the same pattern, with clients praising her responsiveness and attention to detail on kitchen projects. Because Cutting Edge Design works as a designer who coordinates with outside contractors and suppliers for trades like flooring, homeowners should confirm up front exactly which parts of a project — design only, or design plus construction coordination — Mary's team handles directly, and who does the hands-on installation. For anyone near Mansfield planning a kitchen or bathroom remodel who wants a designer with a long, consistently five-star record and the same named person accountable project after project, this is a strong match.

I can’t say enough good things about Mary and her team at Cutting Edge Design! At first, I thought I could tackle my kitchen renovation by myself, but I quickly realized I needed some expert help. A friend of mine, who was absolutely thrilled with her work, recommended Mary to me, and I’m so grateful she did! Mary helped us create a kitchen design that’s not only beautiful but also practical for years to come, all while keeping us within budget. She was always there to answer our questions, and her suggestions were incredibly thoughtful. We’re absolutely over the moon with the final result and can’t wait to work with her on our bathroom renovation soon. I highly recommend Cutting Edge Design to anyone looking to upgrade their home!
Mary was the best part of our remodel job...and we found her via Houzz. She is awesome. She has great vision, pays attention to every detail, and available 24x7. We saw some of her previous designs, and knew it was a good fit after that first call. She did wonders to our house in New Seabury. Very happy with the kitchen and how it turned out. Everyone has good things to say about how it looks, and Mary made it stress free. I know she will post some offical pictures once we have the time, but have been through a few remodels, and she was our favorite. Give her a go, you won't be disappointed.
Working with Mary at Cutting Edge Design was wonderful! She completely transformed my kitchen and bathroom into beautiful, functional spaces that exceeded all my expectations. Mary combines incredible creativity with meticulous attention to detail, and her exceptional communication skills made the entire remodel smooth and stress-free. She responds quickly, listens carefully, and genuinely cares about getting everything perfect. I couldn’t be happier with the results—Mary is simply outstanding, and I highly recommend her. Thank you, Mary—you’re the best!
We couldn't be happier with our new kitchen! It turned out perfectly, thanks to Mary at Cutting Edge Design. Our family and neighbors were openly impressed with the cabinetry--both color and design. I am glad that Cutting Edge was recommended by several friends and that we selected them. Mary is so pleasant and knowledgeable. Her guidance and suggestions were invaluable to us. She is the best!
