**★★★★★ — Ann Lafferty, Oct. 2018**

> “For thirty years, we had lived in a Victorian Italianate house with a funky '70's kitchen, a crude laundry room, and a cave-like bathroom. We knew it was time, so we called Joanne who was highly recommended by a friend who works for Old House Journal.
> When Joanne came to the house, she observed the decor, the colors, architectural features. She knew immediately that it was due
> for a change, one that would be more in keeping with the integrity of the house. Soon we had blueprint drawings and the work began! Throughout the project, I was perplexed with so many choices for tile, flooring, wallpaper, countertops, paint, etc., and Joanne was invaluable in helping me choose. This was twelve years ago, and we are still very pleased with the outcome. It all feels right for the house. She really took into account the house combined with our life style and tailor made the project to fit perfectly.

**★★★★★ — Don C, Oct. 2018**

> “Joanne Hurd is a consummate professional. Every detail of her work was calculated and precise. Her understanding of color and texture is extraordinary. She designed our new kitchen and designed our hand-woven living room rug. We highly recommend her."

**★★★★★ — Tim McCormack, Oct. 2018**

> We've had the pleasure of working with Joanne on a couple of large design projects for our home -
> a full kitchen renovation and a complete redesign of our living room fireplace surround. From start to finish,
> Joanne was not only a joy to work with but fully able to capture in her designs what we had hoped to
> accomplish.  With patience, respect and good humor, she listens, probes, and suggests throughout
> the process for the ultimate goal of delivering a design that reflects your vision, and in our case,
> vastly improved it. Her attention to detail, timely workflow, and ability to work independently
> with outside contractors made for enjoyable and efficient projects."

**★★★★★ — Pat & Chris McGrath / Salony, Oct. 2018**

> Joanne designed two bathroom renovations for us as we brought our beloved 80 year old home into the 21st Century.  Out-of-the box thinking enabled her to envision a modern master bathroom with eye-catching angles where we could only see our now-adult son's tiny childhood bedroom. Her detailed construction drawings made bidding by contractors a more exact process, and eliminated many questions and disputes as the project progressed. She was always available for consultation, problem-solving, and even mediating between spouses when their personal visions diverged. If we decide to redo our 1930's kitchen, Joanne Hurd will be our first call!  I recommend her most highly.

**★★★★★ — Margie Gordon, Oct. 2018**

> Joanne, you never cease to amaze, your talents are boundless! We have been working together for over ten years, beginning with the renovation of our kitchen and onto our master bedroom and bath, guest bath, daughter's bedroom, family room, and our summer house in Maine. We are at the point that we know whatever Joanne suggests, we are going to love it.
> Joanne is very easy to work with and always returns phone calls and responds to emails in a timely fashion.

**★★★★★ — Anne Curry, Oct. 2018**

> "Many years ago, Joanne turned our three season porch into a dream kitchen. Her creative eye, attention to every detail, and amazing vision turned the space into a perfect kitchen. She spent extra time getting to know us and created a space that fit our family and lifestyle. Ten years later we moved out of state, and the only thing we wanted to take with us was our kitchen, designed by Joanne Hurd.  Now, she is expanding her creative talents to rug and tapestry design. She has an eye for color and space that weaves together art in a beautiful and unique way. Rug and tapestry design is a natural fit for this next chapter in her career.
