She helped me purchase furniture for my home and decide what colors to use to paint the walls and kitchen cabinets. Joi knew exactly what furniture store to go to and I found exactly what I needed. She is very pleasant to work with and I appreciated working with her. **Comment from Joi Prater Interiors, LLC:** > Thank you, Greta! I loved working with you and so happy you are enjoying your new Home... **★★★★★ — Max Mixson, June 2017** > I needed some guidance selecting finishes for a new house in Arizona.

Looking forward to our next Project together..! > > Joi **★ — susan Hermanson, March 2016** > Joi started out strong but then never followed up. She seemed to fit me in as an after thought before going on vacation. I had a budget of $10,000.00 and thought she was in the $5,000.00 start budget. It seems to me that she comes on strong and then asks you to give high marks on the internet and never follows up after high marks. **Comment from Joi Prater Interiors, LLC:** > Susan, > > I am so sorry you feel I dropped the ball with your Project. I would never do that! > I spent many hours of my own time finding the "right" person to Fabricate your Custom Mesquite Counter for your Island. A Bid UNDER Budget was e-mailed to you on May 24th (see below) and I required a 50% Deposit to begin the Project. I never received a Deposit. When I never heard from you or received a Deposit, I called you and left a message. I have never heard back from you. If you are still interested in the Mesquite Counter, please call me and we can get started right away. Looking forward to hearing from you! > > Joi > Joi Prater > sent May 24, 2016 > > to Susan > Susan, > > Ok, I have finally tracked down someone to do a Mesquite Island Counter for you. Price for a Custom Mesquite Counter Installed, Live Edge on 1-Side, Option for Inlay Copper, and my Time involved is $4,627.88. Approx. Size I have quoted is 64" x 104" x 2" thick. Price includes Demo of existing Granite. A Plumber would be responsible for hooking up the water lines and the Plumbing on the Sink. > > Lead Time is 10-12 weeks so the wood can dry properly. If you want to move forward, I will send you a Formal Invoice. I would require a 50% deposit. The first thing we would do is have the Fabricator come out to your home to take measurements and decide on the exact shape. > > Shall we proceed? > > Joi > > Joi D.

Thank you for placing your trust in me. Your Family Room Wall is gorgeous, as well as functional. I know you must have enjoyed it over the Holidays. I am thrilled you are happy! Looking forward to helping you with your Powder Room and any other future Projects you need assistance with... > > Joi **★★★★★ — dkennedy94, Jan. 2016** > I purchased a 2nd Home in Arizona and was looking for an Interior Designer to assist me in furnishing an empty home. When I met with Joi, we discussed the style or "the feel" I wanted my home to have, she asked questions about my needs and wants, and my time frame. She assessed the tasks to be accomplished and helped me set a budget to complete the Interior. I hired Joi as my Designer, gave her a key to my home, and returned to my home in Canada. > Joi created floorplans for each room and e-mailed them to me. Once I approved the layouts, she began e-mailing me pictures of furnishings that would fit into the rooms and pricing. Once approved, Joi purchased the furnishing for me. We went room- by-room and completed each room all within my Budget. Joi was at my home to accept the deliveries on my behalf and to make sure nothing was damaged. > I returned to Arizona several months later and walked into a gorgeous home. All the furniture was place, beautiful art and photography hung on the walls, lamps were thoughtfully placed around the rooms, bedding dressed my bed, and Custom Window Coverings were installed. What was an empty patio now had a table with chairs and cushions ready for outdoor entertaining. My new Dining Table was set with accessories and there was even a Welcome Mat greeting me at my Front Door. It was beyond my expectations! > Joi made the daunting task of furnishing my home a breeze! She was thorough, made the process easy for me, and stayed within my Budget. Joi is detail oriented, creative, and a very talented Interior Designer. I am extremely happy with the results and have enjoyed entertaining friends and family in my new home. > Joi is trustworthy and follows through on all promises. She worked within my budget and stayed on it. She listens and understands that "value" is whatever the customer thinks it is. She figured that out for me. I would highly recommend Joi for her Design Services. David Kennedy **Comment from Joi Prater Interiors, LLC:** > David, > > Thank you for the opportunity to work on your new home in AZ. I think we nailed it! May you, your family, and friends, enjoy and make many great memories there... > > Joi **★★★★★ — dkinkel73, Jan. 2016** > I am delighted to have the chance to recommend Joi Prater. She has assisted us with our home décor and organization in three homes in two different states. Thank goodness she travels!! > Joi is creative and resourceful and knows how to blend furniture, existing decor and personal preferences into a fabulous design that fits your style. **Comment from Joi Prater Interiors, LLC:** > Deb, > > Congratulations on your new home! It is gorgeous... > > Thank you for always placing your trust in me. It's been a pleasure helping you with the homes you have owned over the years. I love travelling and it has been fun to Design different decors for you and your family... > > Joi **★★★★★ — Desert Valley Concepts, Jan. 2016** > I have worked with Joi on multiple projects and it has always been a great experience. Joi pays attention to the smallest of details to bring whatever project she is working on together. Not only does she have a great eye for design but also understands the construction process. I would highly recommend her services! **Comment from Joi Prater Interiors, LLC:** > Thank you Jake!

A: You are welcome! **Q: Please let me a little bit about how I can find that desk.** *(in Photo Questions)* Thanks in advance. A: The Aviation inspired Desk is from Restoration Hardware in the U.S. Not sure if it is still available. **Q: wall treatment** *(in Photo Questions)* can you tell me what that tile is? A: Good Question! After much Debate, I decided to NOT place a Mirror above the Sink. I felt it would take away from the Beautiful Tile and Design, And, for a Powder Room, not necessary. I did place a Collection of 3 Mirrors on the Opposite Wall as you walk out of the Room to "check yourself". You can see a 3-D Reflection in each Tile, and it does create the Illusion of a Mirror. But no, you can not clearly see yourself in the Tile. Thanks for the Questions...Joi **Q: Need help for my cabin windows** *(in Design Dilemma)* A: Hello.....you know a REALLY good Interior Designer! Me. **Q: wall l paint color please** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Here is the info on the Paint I selected for the Living Room and Dining Room. It is available from Ace Hardware. Clark and Kennsington Smooth Slate 5042 Eggshell Finish Thank you for your Inquiry... Joi **Q: Love the headboard. Is it attached to the bed frame or from the wall?** *(in Photo Questions)* Is it possible to order online from the company? A: This headboard was attached to the Frame by request of the client. The walls are Venitian Plaster and client did not want us to hang. However, it can be made with a French Cleat on the back to attach to a wall. I can have this made for you by my Workroom and ship. Or, we can try to find a local Workroom in your area to make it. I can provide the fabric, nailheads, and the Specifications to a Workroom.
