**★★★★★ — goldhawk129, July 2014**

> Julie is talented, thoughtful, creative and great to work with!  She worked with us extensively to plan our kitchen remodel and incorporated all the feedback and details we provided (and tolerated all the back and forth with my husband and I).  She is a WHIZ at picking out just the right tile, light fixtures, counters, etc., and can bring everything together perfectly.  She took a small bathroom remodel idea and created the 2nd floor of our dreams!  Julie has the connections and knowledge to source just the right item to complete a room (such as the PERFECT curtains for my living room) and find the right contractor to do the heavy labor.  We are blessed to have worked with her and to continue to work with her!

**★★★★★ — karencharm, April 2014**

> We didn't have any idea of what we wanted to do but we knew we had to do something about our small master bedroom and bath. Julie saw the potential for using unused attic space and designed a large walk in closet and expanded bathroom.  We had never thought of the unused space! What a beautiful room. We did quite a bit of the construction ourselves, but w/out Julie's input, we would never have dreamed it would turn out so nice. I would heartily recommend Julie for any home improvemet/remodeling design

**★★★★★ — Carol Groh, April 2014**

> After having our kitchen and dinning room remodeled, I needed help with window treatments.   Julie was very helpful with suggestions on the type of style and colors that would work best.  Everything was done in a timely manner and I absolutely love how they turned out.  I would highly recommend Julie for any design needs that you may have.

**★★★★★ — margaretfirth, April 2014**

> Julie Ciferni was involved in the redecorating of our Living room and Dining room.  Providing us with wonderful paint color combinations and crown molding ideas along with window treatment.
> Julie was also very helpful in redecorating our 2 bathrooms and our kitchen/ dining room area.  She assisted us in choosing our granite tops, new lighting, new dining room set and colors for this area. She also helped us in choosing floor tile for this area.
> Julie worked with us in choosing a new rug, furniture, paint coloring and wall art in our family room.
> We have a 3700sq.ft. house which we now enjoy much more.
> We highly recommend her.

**★★★★★ — janegilbride, April 2014**

> Julie Ciferni was our designer for a living room makeover, Her ability to assess the space and read into our style made the process a great experience. Julie guided us into great colors and designs and also was able to get the two of us to agree! Her ability to keep the feel of our bungalow while making it feel updated created just the perfect space!

**★★★★★ — laurazurek, April 2014**

> Julie is an amazing interior designer.  When my husband and I built our first home we struggled with determining the appropriate color scheme for our kitchen.  Julie helped us pick a color pallet that was absolutely beautiful for our kitchen but more importantly, didn’t clash with the rest of the rooms that had already been painted with vibrant colors (something that I would have never even thought about).
>
> She also helped us transform our rather dull family room into a more attractable living space by simple changing up a few accessories, such as our lamps.
>
> Julie is very friendly and passionate about her work and was a lot of fun to work with.  She is very good at interior design.  I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again in the future.

**★★★★★ — lcper, March 2014**

> Julie helped design two different projects for us.  She designed built in bookshelves in our bedroom and a two story addition.  She listens well, has great ideas and is an awesome resource.  We were thrilled with our final product.

**★★★★★ — gretchone, March 2014**

> Julie helped us with new window treatments (custom curtains, blinds and a window seat cushion) for our living and dining rooms.  She did an amazing job helping us choose colors and patterns that brightened up the rooms as well as complemented what was already there.  Her attention to detail was also fantastic. The blinds and curtains she measured and ordered fit perfectly and were very easy to install.  She is very knowledgeable and easy to work with.

**★★★★★ — Julianna Jurkowski, March 2014**

> Julie was very professional.  She was able to work with us to incorporate all of the features that we wanted into our kitchen/first floor renovation.  She suggested features and layouts that we hadn't even thought about.  In the end we were very happy with the plans.  The final plan ended up being  a collaboration of  our ideas and her ideas.  It was amazing to us that we were able to get all of our must haves into the final layout since we had been trying to come up with a layout that would accommodate them and kept falling short.  We found our old kitchen layout was awkward and was not a good use of the space, but we couldn't figure out how to rearrange everything to make it flow better.  Thanks to Julie's help, we are well on our way to our dream kitchen.  Now we just have to make it through the renovation!
