### Reviews

**★★★★★ — khsmith55, Dec. 2021**

> We are on our second project with Jen (master bath remodel and walkout remodel including wet bar) and could not be more pleased!  She is so great to work with and runs a tight ship with her crew, all of whom are outstanding! Love her ideas and that she listens to you as well. She is so creative and just a pleasure to do buisness with!  Check out her store too, it's just full of fun, different things.  From gifts to artwork, furniture and decor, a favorite of my daughters and mine.

**Comment from The inner Structure Interior Design:**

> Thank you for your kind words. We love working with you!

**★★★★★ — kimmel1966, Dec. 2018**

> We had been looking for a professional to help us with our remolding project for over a year.  One early morning last summer, I got on the Houzz website and found Jen.  I  emailed her with our needs and she immediately emailed back that she thought she could help us.  We have loved her quick responses and the immediate attention we received.  Jen offered us many ideas and also worked with our ideas.  The end result is exactly what we wanted!  Her crew is extremely good and very trustworthy.  This is our second home so there were times when we could not be here.  Having workers in the house that you can trust meant a lot to us.  Hiring Jen Aenis to help us remodel our home in Northern Michigan was a great experience.  We would highly recommend her.

**Comment from The inner Structure Interior Design:**

> Elva, thank you for your kind words. We’ve loved working with you and are thrilled that you love the end result!

**★★★★★ — Becky DeSoto, Jan. 2018**

> Jen from The inner Structure helped us with our kitchen remodel which included design and layout, and selection of cabinetry, flooring, lighting, and appliances. She immediately handled an issue when the cabinet manufacturer sent a wrong item. She took care of everything. There were a lot of decisions to make and Jen made it so much easier and actually enjoyable. Considering the exceptional quality of her work, her rates are very reasonable. We continue to consult Jen for advice on occasion and we highly recommend The inner Structure.

**Comment from The inner Structure Interior Design:**

> Thank you for your kind review.  It's always a pleasure to work with your family.

**★★★★★ — Caroline VanHorn, Dec. 2017**

> Great to work with, very professional. Helped us design the layout of our new kitchen in our new home. Answered our many questions and worked with us on all the details. When measurements didn't exactly match when house was built, she edited the plan and figured out how to get the cabinets to work fabulously. We love the windows, counters and cabinets in our kitchen! We got quotes from other places, but she is the best around! Happy to support our small town designer!

**★★★★★ — Karen Suntan, Dec. 2017**

> Wonderful service as usual!  She helped us pick a mantle and install it. Love it. Also did a major renovation and helped us select all our color schemes. Received many compliments.

**★★★★★ — Nikki Skrocki, Dec. 2017**

> Jennifer did an excellent job. She gave me her artistic eye, but offered me options to help me make it like it was my design. She took a nightmare of a project, and made it a beautiful finish. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!!

**Comment from The inner Structure Interior Design:**

> Nikki, thank you for the thoughtful review and for trusting me with your home and business design needs.

**★★★★★ — Jennifer Buffman, Dec. 2017**

> I love my cabinets! I was attempting to re-do a closet into a small mud room and I knew what I wanted but not really what I needed. Luckily, Jen provided me with ideas, (all of which I loved!) and she was able to provide me with a look to maximize my space but still look the way I wanted it to. The only bad thing to come of it was that I'm liking these cabinets so much more than the other cabinetry in my house! A friend of mine had her kitchen done by Inner Structure and was extremely happy which is how I heard about them. Great to work with, will definitely be calling them when I can convince my husband we need to update our kitchen:)

**Comment from The inner Structure Interior Design:**

> Jennifer, thank you for the kind review.  We're thrilled that your finished mudroom exceeded your vision and we look forward to working with you on future projects.  Thanks again.

**★★★★★ — Tami Vincent, Jan. 2017**

> Jen, Designer for The Inner Structure, has helped me most recently with blinds and area rugs.  She follows up if I have any questions, has done installation and makes sure I am happy with the recommended product.  Couldn't be happier with products or the customer service.  I know others who have used her for full redesign or rooms and have been very happy with her work.  If I have that need, I would not hesitate to call on The Inner Structure.

**★★★★★ — Susan Anderson Barnard, Jan. 2017**

> Jen from Inner Structure was great. Delivered products in a timely manner. Cooperated with my changing ideas and plans!! Rccomendations were great. Love my "new" house!!!

**★★★★★ — Melanie McNitt, Jan. 2017**

> Jen was a huge help in designing and planning our kitchen. She was very patient and ordered samples of different products for us. She helped us to stay on budget also. I absolutely love our new kitchen!

**★★★★★ — Jenny Maher, Jan. 2017**

> Jenn is professional, creative and FULL of AMAZING ideas!! She listened and truly cared about the vision that we had for our new home.   Jenn gave us lots of options and recommendations,  and went over and above to accommodate our schedule and needs.  I am so thankful she was able to help us design our home!

**★★★★★ — Suzanne Rogers, Jan. 2017**

> Jennifer is friendly and easy to work with. She always got the workers there when they were needed. She checked the work and made sure it was done well.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Which Taylor King model ?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I went to Taylor King's web site and for the life of me cannot find anything that resembles this sofa. Can you note the model ? And if you made modifications to a particular model since I see their work is custom. I'd so appreciate your help with this.

A: Maybe John Richards...?

**Q: Floor** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you tell me who makes this floor and the color

A: It's by Tandus Centiva and I believe the color is Vintage Lodge. Thanks for the question.

**Q: Who is the manufacturer of the sofa?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: You're welcome. Sorry I didn't respond sooner I'm not sure where this message has been for six months.
