### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Maureen Kenney, Oct. 2017**

> We recently completed a remodel of our kitchen and had to redecorate that space, as well as an adjacent sitting room. Jan and Lorin did a terrific job helping us move outside our comfort zone and pulling the two spaces together.  As a result we have updated spaces that are fresh, vibrant, and comfortable and at the same time complement our 1940's colonial. Jan and Lorin were always responsive to our questions and concerns, and very easy to work with. I highly recommend them.

**Comment from Bertin's Decorating Den Interiors:**

> Maureen....we enjoyed working with you and Terry and are so glad you are pleased.  Thanks for sharing the photos you took!

**★★★★★ — C K, July 2017**

> I highly recommend this company! Jan and Lorin are creative and conscientious and always listened carefully to my preferences.  They also had the ability and sense to redirect my thoughts and ideas into something constructive, functional, and beautiful.  Our home has 3 kids and a dog and they fully understood the challenges that go with that and helped us add amazing elements that support our situation.  These ladies not only created beautiful spaces for our family, but also orchestrated a remodel/addition of our home.  Their contacts for other portions were professional and everything turned out more smoothly than I could have imagined.   They are also superb communicators and very responsive.  They were at our house regularly checking in to make sure everything looked good to us and making adjustments. I love all our new spaces, and I love these ladies!

**Comment from Bertin's Decorating Den Interiors:**

> You and Dan were a pleasure to work with.  So glad you are happy!

**★★★★★ — Rebecca Barnes, Feb. 2017**

> I recently had hired Jan and Lorin for custom drapery in our living room and master bedroom.  The results are exactly what we where looking for.  Our experience from the initial contact to the finished work was nothing but excellent.  Jan and Lorin are extremely knowledgable and professional.  Could not have asked for a better outcome.

**★★★★★ — Jonathan and Patricia Darling, Feb. 2017**

> We were complete novices when it comes to buying furniture and decorating.  Everything we had was either secondhand, or a couple of decades old, or both.  We knew we needed help, so we asked Bertin’s Decorating Den to help us redecorate our living room.  This was our first time working with a decorator, and we didn’t know what to expect.  Jan and Lorin were open and direct about how the process works and were responsive to our many questions.  From the very beginning, they asked about our budget comfort zone and stayed within it throughout.
>
> We had a few ideas about what we wanted, but nothing specific.  Jan and Lorin were patient with us, learned our preferences, but also opened us up to ideas and concepts we never would have discovered on our own.  While the focus was on just one room, the design was completely harmonious with the feel and flow of the house.  They were generous with their ideas of what we might do in rooms that were outside the scope of the project.  They listened to our ideas and came up with some designs for us to consider.  We talked it over with them, chose one and they immediately set things in motion.
>
> We really benefited from their years of experience.  For us, the choices available in the furniture market could be overwhelming at times.  Working with Jan and Lorin, we felt confident that we were purchasing quality pieces that would come together coherently in the room.
>
> As sometimes can happen, there was a concern with one of the pieces was delivered.  Jan contacted the company and followed up with them persistently, until the issue was resolved.
>
> We are very happy with our new gorgeous living room.  We feel lucky to have found Jan and Lorin.

**★★★★★ — sherrikoh, Dec. 2015**

> We downsized to a new condo and Jan and Lorin helped decorate, add storage and accessorize from top to bottom. It was a great experience.

**★★★★★ — cmborelli, Oct. 2015**

> Jan and Lorin have completed several projects within my home and each one is better than the last! They have great attention to detail, are very personable and easy to work with. They coordinated with a contractor and painter to have a larger project done on time and down to every last detail. I am very satisfied with their thorough work and will continue to use them for future projects.

**★★★★★ — ktjrmom, Aug. 2015**

> Jan Bertin, Lorin Jones and Jessica Walls are outstanding! Jan has worked with me for over 25 years; completely decorating both houses we have lived in during that time. She has helped to adapt the houses and the décor to a growing and evolving family. She not only understands your needs but helps you to develop your style. Her services from start to finish are professional, fun, creative and turnkey. You can not find a better decorating team!

**★★★★★ — kiddysmall, Oct. 2014**

> Jessica provided a design and helped me select materials and fixtures for my current office and some partial updating for my living room and staircase. I could not be happier with selections. She was always willing to work within my budget and I think that I actually saved money on this project by using her services. I will definitely be using more of her services in the future once i am ready to move on to the next step. Thanks for all your services. ~ K

**Comment from User:**

> Thank you for your kind review K! We are proud to provide high quality design that works with our clients' budgets.

**★★★★★ — tessiar, Sept. 2014**

> Jessica Walls worked with us this summer and fall on our dining room, sitting room and entry way. The results were fantastic! I can't stop admiring the pieces she helped us select. Her eyes for pulling everything together so artistically and within our budget was phenomenal! Jessica, you are awesome!

**Comment from Bertin's Decorating Den Interiors:**

> Thank you for your kind review! We strive to create beautiful and functional spaces that are reflective of our clients' personalities and lifestyles.

**★★★★★ — foreverisabel, Sept. 2014**

> We worked with designer- Jessica Walls. We found her to be very focused on putting out quality products. Also very detailed, and her commitment to craftsmanship was fantastic. We had heard mixed opinions about working with designers, but Jessica and the team at Bertin's made the experience enjoyable.
> They were able to work with our budget, and schedule, and definitely exceeded our expectations. Our home looks and feels fabulous, it's warm, and so inviting. Thank you for turning our empty house to a home!
> I highly recommend them.

**Comment from User:**

> As a General Contractor it is a pleasure working with Jan and team. They are professional and decisive in their handling of all the projects I have worked on with them. They bring the finishing touches that all projects should have.

**★★★★★ — burful, Jan. 2014**

> Jan is focused, and great at pulling the bits and pieces together.  We've done 11 window treatments in four rooms.  We talked about stair rail options today.  Furniture is next.  I highly recommend her.
