She has a broad range of talents and captures the essence of the clients she serves. No house is the same and the style of interior matches the desire of the client. > As a real estate broker in the Luxury Residential Market, I recommend Janice as the best in the business. I have seen her work done around the USA and photographed some of her best. **★★★★★ — markcoble, March 2015** > I have had the pleasure of doing numerous projects with Janice to great success. She is committed and through in her design and effort. She truly pours her heart and soul into the projects, and in the final product it shows. I am happy to recommend her for anyone who wants to have a professional experience gorgeous final product. **★★★★★ — vllynn, Sept. 2014** > Janice was very thorough, fascinatingly creative and extremely knowledgeable on this project. She did not miss ANY details when my home was built. She worked tirelessly with the builder to be sure that the end result was as it should have been. It has been seven years since the home was built, and there is never a day that I don't walk into the home after a long day at work, feeling a tremendous sense of serenity. Thanks Janice, it was wonderful to find you on Houzz. Here is a link to a video that was produced by Robert Stevens / Sotheby's, when I considered a geographic relocation. > > http://vt.realbiz360.com/Listing-1340013.html **★★★★★ — grandiandi, Sept. 2014** > Janice has done 2 houses for us in the Scottsdale area. Her specialty is making us feel as every decision was ours. She worked within our budget, and paid tremendous attention to every detail. We got rave reviews on our first house, it was even featured in a magazine. So when it came time to build our next house, there was never a doubt about our designer, Janice Brewster of First Impressions is the best! **★★★★★ — Tana Walker, Sept. 2014** > Janice Brewster was extremely professional in helping me with a complete remodel of a 1986 3 bedroom 2 bath townhouse. She listened to my requests and went above and beyond to take my vision into reality **★★★★★ — Beata Brewster, Sept. 2014** > Janice of First Impressions Interiors did an amazing job helping us remodel our kitchen and two bathrooms. She had the fantastic idea of adding a breakfast bar to an otherwise awkward counter in our kitchen. She took our master bath from builder bland to worthy of any luxury hotel. In our guest bath, I asked for "spa like" and Janice created a perfect oasis. Basically Janice was able to take a few of my ideas and apply them so our home was not only beautiful, but far more livable. She thought of everything - from where fixtures should be moved to make things flow more naturally to adding a bench in our shower that is not only beautiful but also extremely useful. I feel like I live inside a magazine! **★★★★★ — jkaye123, Sept. 2014** > Janice is extremely good at what she does. She has an amazing eye for detail and produces absolutely beautiful work. She has a way of making everything "sparkle," including her personality. She is fun to work with, always comes well prepared with many ideas to look at, and has a way of understanding exactly what her customer wants. I would absolutely recommend her and her design services. **★★★★★ — roberw1034, Sept. 2014** > Janice is equally capable and talented at both the visual and technical details in her renovations. She has spent many hours working with me over specifics such as lighting placement, mixed tile applications and most importantly, kitchen design. Her efforts to open spaces up, providing light and flow are excellent. **★★★★★ — antonantin, Aug. 2014** > To Whom It May Concern: > Phyllis and I called upon Janice Brewster to decorate our new home in Terravita,Scottsdale Arizona. This included outdoor furnishings as well as shutters and drapes for all windows, paint and wall paper. She furnished every room in such good taste which exceeded our expectations by far! > Visitors loved the comfort and eye appeal that made us very proud indeed, > Therefore, when we relocated to the San Francisco Bay area, we called upon Janice (who else?) to furnish our home in Blackhawk from top to bottom. Since this two story home was not new, she was put in charge of restructuring, designing and working with a quality builder in Danville (Barry and Barry) as well as all of the sub-contractors. > The outcome was as we expected given our association with Janice---OUTSTANDING! > Tony and Phyllis Cannatella > 5491 Blackhawk Drive > Danville, Ca. 94506 > 925-736-8476 **Comment from First Impressions Interiors:** > I loved working on both projects! I also cherish the friendship that has developed between us as life long freinds! **★★★★★ — mckaydonaldk, Aug. 2014** > Ms Brewster styled a home for me pre-sale and the buyers were so pleased they bought it furnished. I used her a second time to syle a home for a corporate photoshoot using our own furniture. She was polished, precise and detailed in her manner. She has an eye for clean, crisp details and provides excellent value. I will use her services again in the future. ## Selected projects - [Hilltop contemporary remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hilltop-contemporary-remodel-pj-vj~2668218) - Location: Phoenix, AZ - Photos: 23 - [Remodel in Scottsdale](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/remodel-in-scottsdale-pj-vj~3117099) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - Description: Kitchen with wrap island countertop - [Scottsdale Contemporary Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/scottsdale-contemporary-home-pj-vj~100477) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: Custom contemporary home with city light, golf course and mountain views. 8000 sq ft with attached guest house, pool and out door jacuzzi - [Scottsdale "fix and flip"](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/scottsdale-fix-and-flip-pj-vj~957276) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: home is disrepair, too many tiny spaces.
