Jeannie Monroe Design

We worked with Jeannie to design a difficult Kitchen. We were removing walls and overhauling a very old kitchen in a 1930s Tudor. Our kitchen has many windows making the traditional kitchen triangle impossible. Jeannie came up with a design that meant we were able to keep all of our beautiful window and incorporate all the details that we loved about our old house. She also referred us to a cabinet maker that helped us keep cost down yet still get beautiful well made cabinets. We are so pleased and happy that we included Jeannie in the process.

From start to finish, Jeannie was an incredible partner in our kitchen and bath remodel. This was a project that we had been dreaming of for seven years. Our home is historical (1890s Italianite Victorian) and I was incredibly particular on honoring the history of the home while still bringing into the modern age. Jeannie captured the vision perfectly. She was creative, supportive, innovative and a true delight to work with. Her skill, vision and professionalism are incredible, and I loved that it felt like you were planning an exciting creative project with a friend you'd known for years. The outcome was even better than we could have dreamed and I could not imagine working with anyone else on our design. Absolutely recommend her!

I am writing to share my outstanding experience with Jeannie Monroe for our recent kitchen remodeling project. As the owner of a 100-year-old home, we desperately needed to update and modernize the space but felt strongly about maintaining the architectural integrity of our beloved home. As our designer, Jeannie, produced a wonderful plan that is so beautiful and fitting. It exceeded our expectations. Challenges Jeannie faced as a designer included opening the area (breakfast nook, kitchen, and back hall); incorporating a parlor bathroom; working around radiators, solid plaster walls, and even maintaining our “old-fashioned” clothes chute. Her design did it all. This was my first BIG remodel, and I did not know how/where to begin. She was with me every step of the way including cabinet selection, lighting, countertops, tile, appliances, etc. Her personal style and temperament is pleasant, helpful, collaborative, suggestive, and kind. Our family and friends are amazed by the transformation. We are 100% satisfied with her efforts and hope to work with her again soon.

Jeannie's design turned out beautifully, finding the best solution for our challenging space! The bathroom looks like something out of a 5 star hotel/spa! She was fast, efficient, professional and always easy to work with.

Jeannie was our biggest help as we planned our kitchen renovation! We had a few ideas, mostly of what we “didn’t want”. Jeannie’s drawings /plans for our new kitchen were wonderful! She was able to fill in any indecision on our part with great insight and understanding. We could tell that she had listened intently to all that we had discussed. Jeannie stayed in contact during the entire renovation, and we appreciated her calm and confident nature through it all. Our kitchen would not have turned out so nicely without Jeannie. We are extremely grateful!

Jeannie Monroe was recommended to us as we began our kitchen remodeling project and contacting Jeannie was the best decision we made! Jeannie presented multiple designs with drawings based on our preferences and desires which helped us better picture the end results and narrow down our choices. Once our final design was selected, Jeannie recommended an installer that she had worked with in the past and Jeannie stayed involved in the project throughout, acting as the overall manager. Her insights during the project were invaluable, as she responded to our questions, guided us through some challenges and helped us make a few changes with minimal impact. We couldn’t be happier with the results which exceeded our expectations. Jeannie is wonderful to work with and we absolutely recommend her to anyone who is considering a kitchen renovation project!

My husband and I are re-doing our lake house and we were in need of a kitchen designer. I got a referral for Jeannie and we are thrilled at the new kitchen design Jeannie did for us! She was so very wonderful to work with! She came out to our house and spent some time with us asking us questions about what we wanted, how we use our lake house, the number of guests we have, etc. She gave us a few options of things we could ponder until we decided on a plan. She was so easy to communicate with and had great suggestions of how we could arrange things to make the kitchen flow. I appreciated how accurate she was and how thoughtful she was with every detail. Her fee was very reasonable and worth every penny! We couldn't be happier with how our plan came together! If you need a designer that doesn't cause you more work but instead makes it easy and fun, hire Jeannie! She is a joy to work with and you will be so happy!!

Jeannie is absolutely the BEST! She has helped us with designing our laundry room, which we love! She was also incredibly helpful, finding the perfect tile for our kitchen backsplash. She truly goes the extra step in facilitating a project and easing the anxiety that comes with designing a new space.

We have worked with Jeannie Monroe Design for many years and have completed dozens of projects with Jeannie. She is wonderful to work with and we rely on her wise counsel. She listens to our client's dream and creates a design that exceeds their expectations.

Jeannie was recommended to us by a friend who was familiar with her work. We found her to be very professional and pleasant. She listened to what we were trying to accomplish in our home and gave us ideas on how that could be done. She has the perfect balance of listening to what you want and giving her thoughts based on her experience. She knew exactly where high-quality items could be purchased. She cared about every detail of the project from cabinetry, counters, floors, sinks, faucets, backsplash tile, appliances and lighting. She goes the extra mile to ensure everything works together perfectly. She is detailed and thorough and truly cares about the project! Our kitchen and space design are beyond what we could have imagined. We are very thankful for Jeannie’s expertise!

Jeannie was a lifesaver as I redid my kitchen! I could not have not done any of this without her wonderful advice, blueprints, input, and design. I had no idea where to start, and she helped guide me; narrowing down my choices and making me feel more confident on my final decisions. Highly recommend her!

We recently completed a five month long first floor remodel. We knew this would entail far bigger details than we had the capacity or knowledge to handle. As we did research on interior designers, it was important to find someone who is able to see beyond what we saw. I was drawn to JM Design because of her credentials. It showed me that we could trust her with creating a custom floor plan that would work best for our family. As we went through the process, I said many times how grateful I was to have her on the team. I would respond to many of the contractor emails with, "Ask Jeannie!" Because we fully trusted her with crucial decisions such as how far apart we wanted the island from the fridge, or the mudroom door to the laundry area. We knew she was the right fit for this project when she suggested we expand and move our kitchen window. That might sound silly, but it showed that she could see us living in that space, and knew that seemingly small change would create a huge impact upon completion. That it certainly did! She listened to our every wish and patiently walked through this project with us. BONUS: she was recommended by our contractor, KBC Construction. It was absolutely wonderful to have competent people working together so seamlessly. With their previous teamwork, we as homeowners didn't have to spend much time integrating an independent designer with our contractor. Hiring a designer for a project of this size more than paid for itself in the time and money we saved in the long run!

Jeannie is a true expert in Kitchen Design and we feel so fortunate to have worked with her on our total kitchen remodel. Jeannie is extremely organized, meticulous, and thorough. She was in constant communication with us, throughout every step of the process. She responded to each of our questions and provided valuable information to guide us in making our decisions. On our first meeting, Jeannie took the time to learn about us, our style, and our vision. She provided several detailed drawings with various layouts and options, which allowed us to choose the best fit and envision the final result. She connected us with and outstanding contractor crew, who we felt very comfortable having in our home, even when we were away. Jeannie also visited multiple times during the project to ensure the process was going smoothly and as planned. We are grateful to have our beautiful new kitchen, but the feeling is bittersweet because it means our time with Jeannie and her crew has ended. With that in mind, we will definitely utilize her skills in the future when we renovate our bathroom. The entire process, from start to finish was flawless. Working with Jeannie was an absolute pleasure and we highly recommend her.

We hired Jeannie Monroe to help us with remodeling our master bathroom. She came up with 3 or 4 design possibilities and then patiently worked with us to tweak the design until we were happy with it. She also managed the overall project with the contractor, making sure we had items such as tile, fixtures, vanity, etc. picked out and available for installation to ensure project got completed in a timely manner. Jeannie is very knowledgeable and has a great eye for design and decorating. My husband and I couldn't be more satisfied with how our bathroom turned out and with how Jeannie made the entire project go so smoothly.

My husband and I didn't know where to begin with our Kitchen/Dining Room renovation project. We had a gallery style Kitchen that was next to a Dining Room and we wanted to expand our Kitchen into our Dining Room but we didn't know how to lay it all out. Plus, I wanted to be able to fit an island into our space somehow as well (I have always wanted an island within the Kitchen). That's when we decided to bring on Jeannie Monroe for our project. She came up with several different concepts for us and really listened to our thoughts and how we wanted to use the space. My husband and I loved the final design and she was able to not only fit an island with five seats but also an additional seating area where two people could sit into the space as well! We also decided to use Jeannie when it came to cabinet, countertop and backsplash selections and she knocked it out of the park when it came to helping us figure out what would look great together. She actually found the backsplash that we now have in our finished space that goes PERFECTLY with our cabinets and countertop (and BOTH my husband and I loved). Being able to have her come over with different samples of cabinets to see which ones would coordinate with our floor and other selections was so helpful! I'm a very visual person so that really helped me to see how everything would look together. Our Kitchen/Dining Room renovation has been done for a few weeks now and we love how everything turned out :) I would highly recommend Jeannie!

Jeannie is a delight to work with. Working with her on the complete renovation of my kitchen, I felt confident from the moment I met her that the project would turn out just as I wanted it. And it did. Jeannie is a great listener. She drew up several plans after understanding my wish list, and was patient as I selected one and then changed to a second plan a week later. I thoroughly enjoyed the selection process, and was grateful for Jeannie’s suggestions and guidance throughout. She made sure I got the exact cupboard stain color I’d been dreaming of, and made sure flooring, backsplash, and countertops coordinated beautifully. Once the project was nearly complete, she made a quick visit to go over last minute finishing details. It was a great comfort having someone so knowledgeable to rely on throughout such a big project. If I ever take on another project, Jeannie will be the designer I call.

Jeannie helped me with my kitchen remodel and I could not be happier with the new space. Her attention to detail and creative design brought my kitchen to new life. I'm so glad I hired her and very thankful I got the recommendation from a friend who also hired Jeannie to design their new kitchen. I will definitely recommend her to anyone working on a home remodeling project. She is such a pleasure to work with and my project went along seamlessly. The people she hired to do the work are top notch as well. All around such a great experience with Jeannie!

We truly enjoyed working with Jeannie. She took the time to really listen to our ideas and dreams for our kitchen and adjacent spaces - she was professional and not pushy. A couple of weeks after our first meeting, she presented us with three proposals - drafted drawings of floor plans, elevations and 3D renderings. This was huge - it was easy to decide what would work best for us. Jeannie then provided the names of 3 contractors she had worked with and recommended. Again, this was a big help. Her established rapport with our contractor helped our project run more smoothly. We are VERY happy with our new kitchen! Jeannie is a good listener, a good communicator and an overall good person. It was a pleasure to work with her.

I really enjoyed working with Jeannie. She came up with wonderful custom designs for my kitchen cabinets and my new master bathroom walk-in shower, which I absolutely love. She was very helpful in guiding me on what to buy as I do not have any sort of eye for design. The contractors she worked with completed the job in a very timely fashion, and no re-work needed. The updates she designed raised my property value by over $100K.

We hired Jeannie to help us with our kitchen remodel, never having gone through a remodel before. She listened attentively to our needs and desires and presented us with several creative options. She answered our questions honestly and was incredibly insightful in helping us understand the whole process. Our kitchen turned out even better than we could have imagined, thanks to Jeannie! She is very professional, friendly, thoughtful, and creative and would make a great addition to your remodeling team. Thanks again, Jeannie!

Hey world! We run a general contracting company on the westside of Cincinnati. We ran into Jeannie a few years back at a local home show while exhibiting. We immediately thought that Jeannie is someone we’d enjoy working with. Since that time we have had Jeannie involved in a large part of all of our design work. She is, by FAR, the best designer we have ever partnered with! Her work is detailed, timely, thorough, and amazing! The best part is, she’s an even better human! All of our clients enjoy her company, and she makes them feel at ease throughout the process. We look forward to many more years of projects together! -Biehl Brothers Contracting LLC, Cincinnati OH

Working with Jeannie was a fantastic experience. We added an extension to our home to vastly expand our kitchen. I had so many ideas - but was unable to create a cohesive vision. That's when I knew I needed a professional kitchen designer. Jeannie was a life-saver. She came to our home, discussed all the ideas I had, and came up with several options for me to choose from. What I most appreciated is how attentively she listened to all of my ideas, wants and needs for my dream kitchen and helped me create a vision. Now I have an AMAZING kitchen - and that would not have been possible without her designs. Thank you, Jeannie!

What a wonderful job Jeannie did for our condo kitchen and bath renovation! We worked with her from out-of-state during Covid-19 lockdowns and Jeannie managed everything. She is a great listener and communicator! Jeannie coordinated with our builder and helped us to select everything in our condo from wood floor stain colors to wall colors. She was a snap at spotting possible problems in our kitchen design which was rather unique since it is a small space and we wanted hi-end but small speciality appliances. We had a great experience and appreciate her assistance and guidance. We love our whole space and rave about our kitchen.

Jeannie helped us with design ideas when we were renovating our kitchen. She was so nice to work with; very patient when I was trying to make up my mind about choices. She first tried to assess what our tastes were as well as letting us know what current trends were, and then made suggestions about paint color ideas, granite choices, and the many other choices that go in to remodeling a kitchen. She made recommendations but never pushed us into choices. I would definitely recommend Jeannie!

I can't say enough good things about our kitchen remodeling experience with Jeannie Monroe. She is a great designer and collaborator. With her expertise and ideas she put together a beautifully organized and functional kitchen. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, creative and a joy to work with. She made choice selection easy and stress free by giving us various style and product options that fulfilled our vision. Her attention to detail is thorough and she is very accommodating and happy to tweak plans until they are perfect. I highly recommend Jeannie Monroe. We love everything about our kitchen.

Overwhelmed, daunted, questioning my abilities. How I felt facing our master bathroom remodeling project. Calm, serene, peaceful. The end result of our master bathroom after remodeling. How we arrived at our beautiful end result was the decision to retain Jeannie Monroe at the onset of the planning stage. With her years of professional experience, Jeannie provided spot-on advice and suggestions for modernizing our 31 year old original bathroom. For me personally, it was Jeannie's sincere understanding that I felt completely out of my element when it came to undertaking a complete remodeling project. Jeannie's professional manner helped me to believe that the myriad of decisions would be made, the color choices would be just fine and the updates she suggested would pull everything together. Jeannie Monroe is a person who "sees" the entire project, understanding that assurance is just as important as knowledge.

We used Jeannie Monroe to design an extensive remodel of the main floor of our home. She was a pleasure to work with. Jeannie genuinely listened to our wants, needs, tastes and styles; and she provided great options based on her skills and expertise. We tweaked and refined the plan together, and then Jeannie helped bring the plan to life. She made the entire process and execution as painless as possible. The end result... WOW!!! Her talent and experience speak loud and clear when you walk into our home. We could not be happier with the result! We highly recommend Jeannie Monroe for your next project.

I have been working with Jeannie Monroe for many years and have always found Jeannie to be a pleasure to work with and she brings a vast amount of talent and experience to every job. Jeannie has a true gift and ability to conform each and every job to the Owner taste and style every time. I have worked with many designers over the years and must say Jeannie Monroe stands out among them all. From Kitchen designs to entire homes from planning stages of new construction to remodeling your existing home or office I highly recommend giving Jeannie a call.
