Testimonials

“Joan has an excellent and creative “knack” for envisioning a project and then pulling it all together with decorative details to complete the space.”
Elizabeth, Naperville

“This was our first major renovation project. Joan answered all our questions and found answers for those she didn’t know. She went out of her way to find products and alternatives for our project. Joan taught me a lot in just following her through the interior design process. She gave suggestions, asked the contractors the right questions, and knows people in the industry for the different phases of the project. Thanks for everything, Joan”.
Mary, Wheaton

“Joan gives the “gift” of her talent and artistic expertise that keeps on giving every time you sit in the room for which she has selected the colors. She is awesome!”
Jeanne, Aurora

“We were in the midst of a major kitchen update. We had selected the tile backsplash and countertops, but were struggling with colors to complement them. Joan's expertise and suggestions tied the cabinet and wall colors to the tile, the countertops and the fireplace in an adjacent room. Our kitchen was transformed from an early 1990's worn look to a warm and welcoming space that we love to show off! She has a great eye for color and style. We highly recommend her for any home project.”
Kathy and John, Wheaton

Interior Decorator

I focus on scale and proportion of the size of the furniture and accessories, ensuring the pieces work well together within the defined space. To create interest and a lasting impression, I highlight one or more focal points in a room.

Interior Designer

I incorporate the style of the building structure into the space during project development. The design reflects the client’s needs, functionality, scale, balance, lighting, and color to bring about a comfortable yet elegant space.

Color Consultant

I allow for expression through the use of color and pattern to express my client’s personality and requirements. In this case, the client was a young girl.

Staging

Some people find details boring, but I love to handle all the details from the pillows to decorative accents and plants. These touches give the space a personality and complete the design.
