Client-Centric Luxury Interiors: Elevating Design and Experience

We created Arcadia Kitchen & Bath to provide luxury design and building services to clients across the state of Maine. With our combined construction, design, and management experience, we are proud to offer a process that allows our clients to renovate their spaces with a team that can execute their specific vision.

Designing and building a new kitchen or bath is an incredibly personal journey, one we look forward to embarking on with you. As a family business, we understand the value of getting to know our clients and learning how we can create a space where your family can create memories to last a lifetime.

Our Values

Teamwork

All of our craftsmen are employees, not sub-contractors. This means that they all know how to work cohesively together and that the proper insurances are in place to protect your project and home. Furthermore, our design team is committed to laying the foundation for a seamless build process.
Communication

Great project management begins with great communication. Our project managers and lead carpenters are in constant communication with each other, you and your designer to work out the details of your project. All team members are available to answer any questions you might have along the way.
Loyalty

We want to create an environment where you feel comfortable and supported. That is why we prioritize client relationships and loyalty. We also offer the longest warranty in the Southern Maine area. Our 5-year warranty covers anything we’ve provided to your project except for appliances.
Trust

We prioritize trust and transparency. Our team takes the time to get to know you and your vision for your home. As you get to know your designer and contractor, you will feel more comfortable with the process from start to finish.
Fun

Our entire team loves the work they do. Our design and construction teams enjoy helping you execute your vision. While we prioritize professionalism, we also recognize that designing and building a new space is, in many ways, fun!
Excellence

Not only do we look forward to working with you to create your dream kitchen or bath, but we are committed to doing so with excellent customer service, high-quality materials, and attention to detail.

Meet the Team at the Showroom

Mike Connell

Mike manages all construction-related business, deals with all the financials of the company, and works with the team to manage the company.
Prior to starting Arcadia Kitchen & Bath, he held a General Contractors license in North Carolina, was the general contractor for a 16-million-dollar condo development, and managed all the structural improvements of the Cliff House Resort here in Maine. He has always enjoyed business management and project development. He strives to create a comfortable environment for his customers and employees alike, and encourages teamwork.
Being the proud father of two amazing girls, has helped him learn the amazing moments and aches and pains of life, teaching his daughters that hard times don’t matter when you have a strong support system and love what you do. When he’s not working—which is never—he’s out on the slopes or out in the garage where he lets his creative juices fly woodworking.
Kim Connell

Being part of the creation of Arcadia Kitchen and Bath, it was important to Kim to help create a seamless design process. She’s always loved the process of a well-used space being refreshed for the home. To her, a kitchen is a place where the whole family can come together to connect with each other.
Before she was a designer, she was a hairstylist/educator, and loved creating new looks and styles for her clients. She uses this knowledge of design and fashion to create timeless and beautiful kitchens for her clients. When she’s not at work, she spends time in her gardens, learning new things, traveling, and spending time with my fabulous daughters, grandson, and husband!
Caitlin Tucker

Caitlin has her master’s degree in Interior Architecture from The New England School of Art and Design. Before Arcadia, she was an integral part of dozens of residential and commercial projects across New England during her time in Boston.
She has drawn floor plans since she was a kid and knew design was always something she wanted to do. One of her favorite parts of the job is the clients reaction after her design exceeds their original expectation. Her favorite design details are millwork, materials, and lighting.
Caitlin spends a good amount of her free time looking at design inspiration but also enjoys skiing, art, antiquing, and animals, including her pet house rabbit and giant Newfoundland puppy, Mabel.
Katie Therrien

Katie joined Arcadia Kitchen and Bath for its seamless design/build process and hands-on collaboration. With a passion for construction, she enjoys visiting job sites and working closely with the team. She discovered her love for design in high school, earning a degree in Interior Design from Wentworth Institute of Technology. After graduating during the recession, she explored other industries while renovating her 1860 farmhouse.
Katie thrives on optimizing space functionality, treating each project like a puzzle to enhance daily life. She values open communication and loves when clients say, “I never would have thought of that.”
Outside of work, Katie enjoys snowboarding, home renovations, and road trips with her family in their rare 1937 Chevrolet Camper.
