Antoinette Fraser makes kitchen design extraordinary. With styles ranging from eco-friendly to modern and sleek, traditionally classic or sophisticated and glamorous, Antoinette has designed more than 1,000 one-of-a-kind kitchens during her exciting 20-year career. Featured in House Beautiful, Kitchen Trends, New York Spaces, and Black Enterprise magazines, to name but a few, Antoinette innately understands the intricate needs of clients who seek distinctive kitchen designs that match their vision. Born in Jamaica and raised by multi-ethnic grandparents in the United States, Antoinette believes that her experiences have shaped her boundless aesthetic vision.

Naturally, Antoinette’s ability to bring her clients' vision to life is a special gift engendered by her distinctive upbringing. Antoinette’s former country estate in Jamaica, her time spent living on New York City’s Upper East Side, and now her life in her eclectic English style home in Essex County have all inspired her conception of St. Clair Kitchen & Home, which opened in South Orange, New Jersey in 2006.

Antoinette opened her design studio after having served as Vice President and Design Director of the exclusive Rutt Showroom in the Architects and Designers (A &D) Building in New York, where she designed upscale projects for many residential clients. Serving a clientele that includes global business executives and celebrities, Antoinette draws on her culturally diverse background to deliver exceptionally unique projects, making her one of the most sought after kitchen designers in the Northeast.

Antoinette is building on the success of her first studio with St. Clair of Short Hills, New Jersey, a new showroom opening in 2012.  Instead of the same old kitchen and bathroom vignettes used in other showrooms, this showroom will house fully functional kitchens and baths. St. Clair Kitchen & Home provides the complete package from concept to completion. The firm specializes in luxury kitchen and bath design, and provides designer lighting, specialty tiles, eco-friendly custom cabinetry, luxury Waterworks fixtures, hand-made LaCornue French ranges, and exotic countertops.

Antoinette is currently working on one of her most exciting projects; several rooms for a client who purchased and are restoring a circa 1920’s home. When completed it will include a great mix of traditional and contemporary styles that will result in a classic enduring look.
