Our Story
When you love your work and you’re passionate about what you do you’ll naturally wonder—can this be done better. Can it be better for yourself, better for clients, better for the community and better for the world. Dream Home Cabinets came to fruition when we recognized the need for a better solution for our clients—homeowners, builders, designers, and architects.
With over two decades of design and build experience, you can expect high-quality, thoughtful designs that take into account not just your cabinets and countertop selections, but a holistic understanding of the overall space and desired esthetic, resulting in a seamless design and a no-headache process.
Our Team

Cat Peterson
OWNER + HEAD DESIGNER
she/her/hers
Originally from Connecticut, work and a love of nature brought Cat to Maine. After a decade with Bose corporation in roles from sales, training, employee development, management, and project management, Cat went back to school for Architectural Drafting and Design. In 2020, she opened her own architectural drafting and design company, Bellavance Interiors, while simultaneously working at a cabinet company in Portsmouth, NH growing her skills. As owner and head designer, Cat’s unique skill set and background guarantee a seamless process from beginning to end. Her favorite part of the process is the before and after photos she gifts to her clients.
When Cat can’t be found on a job site or at the showroom you might be able to track her down in the mountains, in her yard with her corgis, spending time with her family, in a hot yoga class, or reading a book with too many blankets on.

Brooke Mendola
OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR
she/her/hers
Spending time growing up in the Finger Lakes of New York, central New Hampshire, and now settling around the coast of Maine, Brooke has developed a love for the outdoors and adventure. After graduating with an Education degree from New England College and working in the field for a few years, she transferred over to the Mortgage business where she gained a host of new skills on the levels of marketing, finances, team communication, and brand development. A desire for a positive work environment and more time for her to develop her own interests/business is what brought her to Dream Home Cabinets, where she has been since April. You can find her in the showroom keeping the books, scheduling incoming/outgoing deliveries, creating social media content, and anything else needed to keep the business running smoothly.
When not working, you can find Brooke at the beach, exploring new places both near and far, hiking in the mountains with her pup Baxter, on a motorcycle ride around town, grabbing a drink at a local Cider house, or snowboarding one of the many New England mountains in the winter.
