I have been working with Bridget Beari Designs for 18 years and every single thing she has helped me decide on , I still love. She understands budget. She wants to understand your design style and feel. She is always very prepared. Installations and delivery of items are professional and timely. She is able to help in all aspects of the design process. I would not hesitate to reach out to her. **★★★★★ — Cabinetry & Construction, Inc., Aug. 2017** > My company has worked with Susan Jamieson of Bridget Beari Designs on a number of high-end renovation projects throughout the Richmond, Virginia area. Susan brings a fresh perspective to classic design. She is able to incorporate up-to-date styles without falling into the trap of becoming too trendy, and risking the designs quickly seeming dated. She’s able to communicate well with both her clients and the builder responsible for transforming her vision into a reality. I highly recommend Bridget Beari. **★★★★★ — Shawen Bartol, April 2016** > Great vision and talent! Worked with my ideas and tastes to come up with fantastic ideas that worked with my difficult space.. Fabulous designer! **★★★★★ — virginiabroaddus, Sept. 2015** > Bridget Beari Designs nails it every time, with elegance, grace, and a clear eye for clients and their needs. Susan Macon Jamison traveled to Washington, DC to consult with us on a home we'd bought in Colorado. Within 2 hours she had recommendations that have to this day turned every head and elicited "wow!" from everyone who walks in our front door. Her ability to assess immediately and identify products, colors, and anything else that makes a house a home is second to none. I've vowed that any decorating project we do will always involve a consult with Susan and Bridget Beari Designs. Professional, polished, and knowing just what designs, fabrics, colors, wallpapers and all else will 'pop' in just the right ways, this company is the one to pick for your needs. **★★★★★ — Sunny Goode Artist & Color Consultant, March 2015** > I chose the Bridget Beari interior paint colors for a commercial project, which was a boutique inn in Lexington, Virginia The colors turned out beautifully. I would highly recommend them again! **★★★★★ — dhatl, Aug. 2012** > Susan has designed 3 and soon to be 4 homes for our family. She is able to seamlessly blend antiques with contemporary classics. She is an incredible designer and I trust her wholeheartedly--I am never disappointed in her designs--and neither is my husband (that's huge!). I would say one of her most impressive skills is choosing color. From picking colors for your homes exterior to coordinating with existing fabrics to completely brand-new designs--she is always spot on, clever, and interesting. **★★★★★ — 1393napa, July 2012** > My wife and I have empolyed Bridget Beari Designs over the previous 16 years. Bridget Beari assisted us in defining and developing a vision for our home. They have been involved in designing and in many cases renovating almost all of our interior and exterior spaces. **★★★★★ — mpm1963, July 2012** > I have used Bridget Beari Designs for many projects over the last twenty years. I have found Susan to be both an intuitive and spot on designer. She really listens to the client and the end result is always right on the mark. ## Selected projects - [Entertainment/Media Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/entertainment-media-room-pj-vj~5189186) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Fan Family Home - Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fan-family-home-kitchen-pj-vj~3012226) - Location: Richmond, VA - Photos: 5 - Description: The kitchen of this classic Tudor-style home was closed off from the family room.
