She understood our vision and made it even better! The extra items like heated floor, light above toilet paper roll and drawer for electric hair items made the remodel extra special. Jennifer is an excellent communicator. She is timely, responsive and full of great suggestions. I would highly recommend her work. **★★★★★ — Susan Moore, Aug. 2021** > Jennifer worked with me to upgrade my bathrooms and select new rugs and paint colors for my home. The installers she recommended were top notch, and she coordinated the scheduling which made it easier for me. Her knowledge and experience gave me confidence and kept me from making costly mistakes. I look forward to working with her in the future. **★★★★ — bobbiegail13, Aug. 2021** > We have used Jennifer for two remodeling projects, our master bath and kitchen. Jennifer is a great listener and has always given us great design input and ideas. We have been very happy with both projects and can highly recommend Jennifer for any bath or kitchen remodel. **★★★★★ — Brian, June 2019** > Jennifer has a fantastic eye for color and texture combinations. She helped me pick out all of the tile to renovate my master bath. She also recommended a custom vanity that reduced the number of sinks to 1 and added some storage space. I highly recommend Jennifer for your next project. **★★★★★ — Sue Fader, June 2019** > Jennifer has helped us with numerous projects ....and has always done an outstanding professional job. She is able to listen to the homeowner and deliver their specific needs, often needing to think out of the box. Recommend her highly - especially if you're looking for someone who keeps up with today's trends and delivers above and beyond. **★★★★★ — Carolyn and Bill Jones, June 2019** > We worked with Jennifer in the design and construction of the kitchen in our new house in Richmond. Her entire approach was professional and knowledgeable including all aspects of the layout, cabinets, appliances, exhaust system and scheduling. After living with the kitchen for a few months we enlisted Jennifer's help with a customized island which is a work of art in SS and Booz Block. Her ability to work with installers is excellent. After 8 years and countless meals prepared we continue to be very happy with the function and efficiency of a space that truly works for a couple who enjoys dining at home. We highly recommend her to anyone interested in a custom kitchen designed and completed on time and within budget! **★★★★★ — Mary Anne White, June 2019** > I have used Jennifer for projects including, but not limited to, kitchen and bathroom remodel, converting a bedroom to a den, and updating a concrete front stoop with brick and tile. I would HIGHLY recommend Jennifer without reservation or hesitation! What makes Jennifer so awesome? She really listens to what you want. She asks lots of questions to better understand what you are looking for in the end product. These questions also helped me solidify what I wanted to see as the end product. Jennifer ensures the project is functional and will last over time. This was most evident in my bathroom remodel. She ensured that concepts included in the remodel would allow me to use the bathroom as I "aged". Jennifer is very respectful of your budget and sticks to it. She communicates with you daily to provide project updates and, should an issue arise, have several potential solutions to offer for your consideration. She is a great problem solver! She also provides you with a complete timetable of what will occur during the project. I found that the timelines were completely accurate. The contractors who worked with Jennifer on my projects were professional, polite, informative and respectful. You will not be disappointed in hiring or working with Jennifer! **★★★★★ — Missy Bass, June 2019** > Jennifer and her team did an amazing job on a bathroom that I needed re-renovated. I bought my house from a builder who cut every corner and Jennifer knew that I was at my wits end. She was kind, patient and understood my frustration with having to spend more money correcting the issues. The bathroom turned out better than I expected and I'm completely thrilled. I would recommend her to anyone!!!! **★★★★★ — Linda Downey, June 2019** > I continue find Jennifer outstanding in her field. She amazes me with her vision and knowledge. > My first experience was a total renovation of my 1970's kitchen - from floor to ceiling, new appliances, new appliances, beautiful and appropriate cabinets. > We moved from kitchen to bathroom and minor projects I other rooms. > Always and eye to quality, but with consideration of cost. > All of her support people were professional and courteous. > As of now, we are just completing remodel of Sun Room, again same professional expertise, > giving me just what I envisioned. It is beautiful!!! **★★★★★ — Carol Gay, Nov. 2018** > Jennifer is a very talented designer. I have had her do 3 renovations in my house, including the kitchen(amazing!), master bedroom and bath, office spaces, and living room. She will work with you to come up with designs that suits your needs and wants, be it financial or a wish-list, or both. She's very creative, and puts a lot of thought into her plans. I will use her again! **★★★★★ — Billy Stephens, Nov. 2018** > Jennifer is not only one of the most talented designers in the Richmond area, she also has extensive knowledge of the remodel process and knows what it takes to make the job run smoothly and efficiently. She has an amazing eye for detail and does a great job of simplifying the process for her customers so that they don't get overwhelmed while making selections. I highly recommend Jennifer if you are looking for someone to help you manage your remodel project. **★★★★★ — Carol Shumaker, Nov. 2018** > Words can't describe how happy I am with both the process and the outcome of my kitchen renovation with Jennifer a few years ago. She listened (not a typical trait for designers in my opinion) to my ideas and added her amazing twist on everything! She gave me everything I wanted in my farmhouse style kitchen and more! She blended two tile styles to create a masterpiece backsplash, helped create a one of a kind copper hood for my oven and a one of a kind copper/metal windmill fan for my adjacent den. She added hand crafted genuine barn board accents, complementing paint colors, state of the art lighting and appliances! She thought of things I didn't know existed. What an eye for detail and creative/unique design she has. Most noteworthy - a pleasure to be with. The contractors admired and appreciated her even as she required the best! She ALWAYS has a "can do" attitude which makes her fun to work with! While renovating the kitchen, the changes impacted adjacent rooms so I'd steal Jennifer's creative ideas to make my own decorating changes to these rooms too. Can't wait for my next project - I won't work with anyone else but Jennifer! ## Selected projects - [BSB Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bsb-bathroom-pj-vj~5743432) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [HMJ Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hmj-kitchen-pj-vj~5740844) - Location: White Stone, VA - Photos: 13 - [LD Master Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ld-master-bath-pj-vj~92105) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Condo master bath/closet](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/condo-master-bath-closet-pj-vj~5740716) - Location: Midlothian, VA - Photos: 7 - [RVA River House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rva-river-house-pj-vj~5740566) - Location: Richmond, VA - Photos: 21 - [JM Tiny Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/jm-tiny-bathroom-pj-vj~2712358) - Location: Richmond, VA - Photos: 5 - [PH Kitchen: NYC Inspired](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ph-kitchen-nyc-inspired-pj-vj~2712352) - Location: Henrico, VA - Photos: 7 - [Farmhouse kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/farmhouse-kitchen-pj-vj~2532220) - Location: Richmond, VA - Photos: 17 - [CG Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cg-kitchen-pj-vj~842212) - Location: Richmond, VA - Photos: 8 - Description: Re-invention of a kitchen/family room space. The homeowners love to cook and entertain. The previous kitchen was less than half the size of the new space; with an under utilized breakfast table taking up a quarter of the total space. Storage and a very large work surface for sewing projects were needs of the homeowners. If we could keep him out of the way on his hunt for beverages while she busily prepared meals, she would be ecstatic. The result is a 12 foot island separating the kitchen from t… - [BE Master Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/be-master-bath-pj-vj~842238) - Location: Richmond, VA - Photos: 8 - Description: Complete update of a mid-size master bath. Walk in shower with frameless glass enclosure, teak floor, sleek sconces, and warm earthy tones. - [DW Master Bath Suite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dw-master-bath-suite-pj-vj~842150) - Location: Richmond, VA - Photos: 8 - Description: This large master bathroom suite was broken into two separate areas, both at the top of a short staircase. The bathroom was doored off from the dressing room. We moved the entry door to the bottom of the stairs to add drama to the ingress of the space, and opened the door way to bring the individual spaces together. Bright, clean luxury was our goal. The large, glass enclosed shower offers a respite while allowing the enjoyment of the views of the lake out the window over the tub. There is plent… - [MAW Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/maw-bathroom-pj-vj~842182) - Location: Richmond, VA - Photos: 3 - Description: This very small bathroom retains the vintage charm of the 1940's bungalow, while updating to a modern feel - [KDH Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kdh-bath-pj-vj~1220636) - Location: Richmond, VA - Photos: 5 - Description: This small guest bathroom was all about marrying natural elements and art. The dimensional tile and clear glass door are reminiscent of the water used in the shower. The Black and Gold Marinace granite counter looks as if you are looking into a creek bed and is carried through in the faux stone knobs. The bamboo wood grain and twig ironwork mirror bring in the natural feel of trees and wood. Pocket doors at either end opened the space to feel much larger than previous swinging doors allowed. The… - [MDHS Basement Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mdhs-basement-bath-pj-vj~1220644) - Location: Richmond, VA - Photos: 5 - Description: This small basement bath needed to be opened and brightened. We used a gloss bisque tile on the walls and ceiling to reflect light, a subtle striped tile on the floor and back wall to add texture, and removed the shower enclosure to expand space. The whole room is water resistant, with just a glass panel to protect water from leaving the room. We custom made a PVC closet door, as it is in direct line of shower spray. We added storage with a teak outdoor cabinet above the toilet. This Bathroom wo… - [KS Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ks-kitchen-pj-vj~842188) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: Renovation of the kitchen in a 1938 Dutch Colonial farmhouse. We brought in vintage elements such as brick paver flooring, and antique trough sink, and school house pendants over the island. The honed absolute black counters feel like aged soapstone. We preserved the original windows. We gave a vintage feel to an updated, highly functional kitchen. - [LS Bar](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ls-bar-pj-vj~118292) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [LG Media Center](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lg-media-center-pj-vj~118286) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [KN Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kn-kitchen-pj-vj~118280) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 [See all 18 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/kitchen-and-bath-designers/jennifer-duncan-ckd-pfvwus-pf~1006779377) ## Community Q&A **Q: who is the maker of this sink?** *(in Photo Questions)* looking for this sink in 48 inches A: This is a sink I found at a local salvage yard, We estimate it is from the 1920's. It was not marked with a maker's brand. It was in sad shape when we found it. I had it cleaned and reglazed. It is a great addition to this kitchen. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
