She also helped us when we first moved in with paint colors, window treatments, furniture, etc. Our new home had a totally different style from our former, more traditional home. It was larger and had very open spaces. She helped us to create such a warm and livable space. She even designed a wine cellar for us. She has such an eye for design -- we'd use her again in a heartbeat for our next project (if there is another one!). **★★★★★ — Kim Swartz, Nov. 2021** > Janet is amazingly talented and a class act. She goes above and beyond to help make your dreams come true. She is talented, fair and has a great eye for detail. She has helped us with our master bedroom and TV room. I would highly recommend her for any decorating needs you may have from simply new furniture, draperies, etc to full on redesigns. **★★★★★ — lindasoldo, April 2016** > Principal Janet Raslavicus did a wonderful job for us. Her design was attentive to our wishes, and she was creative in execution. Janet also made great design choices for all of the fixtures and other design elements, while keeping us on budget and on time. Importantly, Janet stayed on top of things throughout construction and supervised to make sure all of the details were properly handled by the contractors. She is a delight to work with, and her collegial interactions with the contractors were evident. I will happily use Solstice Design for all of my future projects. **★★★★★ — sadiebear1, July 2014** > We have worked with Janet on a few projects as part of renovating our farm house in Stratham, NH, circa 1728. We did everything from a master bedroom suite, kitchen expansion and remodel, bedrooms and common areas. Janet brings lot of talent and skills to the table from design, layout, colors, styles and someone friendly and professional to review ideas and concepts to get feedback. > Janet has provided construction designs that we mutually reviewed with our contractor which is helpful to confirm that we are on the same page with the contractor and he understood our desires with the design and layout elements that Janet added to the projects. > I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Janet to anyone looking for help with renovations or remodeling projects! **★★★★★ — tandnkeller, June 2014** > Janet's level of service is only surpassed by her sense of style and ability to deliver exceptional design solutions. She presents a range of options and works to ensure 100% satisfaction. Janet is creative, resourceful and talented. She is respectful of budgets without sacrificing the design aesthetic. We have used her for many projects, from an entire room makeover to individual product searches. Anyone who engages Janet's services will be lucky to have her on the team. We couldn't be more pleased with the results Janet has delivered over and over again. **★★★★★ — Craftmaster, Nov. 2012** > I am owner of Craftmaster upholstery in North Hampton,NH > I have been working with janet for a few years and have always found her to be very professional. > She has a great eye for design and always listens to her clients needs .I have seen many of the homes she has worked in and her work is stunning. > Always a pleasure to work with Janet. **★★★★★ — tclyras, Nov. 2012** > Janet decorated my dining room. It is a small space that looks right into the kitchen, so it had to flow from one space to the other. I initially questioned the colors, but I can't say how happy I am that I went with her original choices. The room looks elegant on its own, but doesn't look over the top compared to the kitchen. The paint she chose for the crown molding really makes the room pop. My overall experience with Janet was very positive. She was easy to work with and cheerful. She kept budget needs into consideration. I highly recommend Solstice Design! **★★★★★ — mbmass, Nov. 2012** > I used Solstice Design for a remodel on two floors of my house. The work was going to be drastically different from what we had and I wasn't able to picture the final product, which was why I decided to go with a company like Solstice Design. Not only did I get a visual of what the remodel would look like, but I also got an accurate plan to go by for future decision-making during the process of our addition. Janet was professional but friendly, detail oriented, and extremely helpful during the process. > I would highly recommend her services to others. **★★★★★ — maryequinn, Oct. 2012** > People always ask about my family room and who designed my screened in porch. I happily tell them about Janet Raslavicus at Solstice Designs. She's flexible, reliable and easy to deal with. She's done interior work here and she's done exterior design for the addition of the screened in porch. I always recommend Janet and am looking forward to working with her again. The kitchen is next! **★★★★★ — strongpm, Oct. 2012** > I have worked with Solstice Design for several years on many different home and work spaces. The projects have ranged from city condos to New England ocean front homes to Florida waterfront vacation properties. A pleasure to work with, and highly knowledgable and experienced. **★★★★★ — laurieashe, Oct. 2012** > Solstice Design designed our salon. Janet's eye for detail was able to take what I wanted and create a salon I would not have been able to design myself but exactly what I wanted. Janet picked colors that complimented the space, yet expanded on it to create a comfortable yet spacious feeling. It's upscale without feeling stuffy. It's modern without feeling cold. We couldn't be happier and our customers love the look. ## Selected projects - [New England Colonial Farm House Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-england-colonial-farm-house-renovation-pj-vj~7124348) - Location: Kensington, New Hampshire - Photos: 18 - Description: Before and After photos shown: Created a new Main Entrance, Covered Farm Porch, and Kitchen Renovation - [J Geiger Shading](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/j-geiger-shading-pj-vj~7124387) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: Client seeking motorized privacy shade solution without obstructing the view. - [Beautiful installation of J Geiger Shading](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beautiful-installation-of-j-geiger-shading-pj-vj~7124360) - Location: Nobleboro, Maine - Photos: 4 - Description: Client’s new home was designed with a large window span and was seeking a shading solution to reduce the sun glare and UV rays without impeding the view.
