From my very first consultation, Kate took the time to truly understand my lifestyle and vision, bringing a level of expertise and warmth that made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. > > Their guidance was invaluable across every stage of the project. They helped me select cohesive paint colors and finishes throughout the house, curated stunning bathroom tiles, all new powder room fixtures and a kitchen backsplash that continuously get compliments, and even nailed the exterior paint choices to give my home incredible curb appeal. > > What impressed me most was their attention to detail. It wasn't just about the major architectural elements; Kate’s team has a remarkable eye for those final finishing touches—the small accessories, textures, and styling details that truly elevate a room from "nice" to extraordinary. > > If you are looking for a design team that is collaborative, incredibly talented, and genuinely fun to work with, I couldn't recommend Mira Jean Designs highly enough. They transformed my space into a home I absolutely love every single day. **★★★★★ — Megan, May 2026** > Thrilled with the design services provided by the Mira Jean team. Working with Kate and Julie to redesign our home office from a mancave to gorgeous workspace for two was easy from day one. The presentation of options, incorporation of his and hers requirements and preferences, as well as their top quality tradespeople has me looking for my next design project! We can't wait to work with the Mira Jean team again. **★★★★★ — HU-29054083, March 2026** > We had a great experience working with Mira Jean Designs on our living room and kitchen. They were collaborative, thoughtful, and made sure the design worked for our family’s day-to-day needs while still feeling polished and cohesive. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome! **★★★★★ — R B, Feb. 2026** > I can’t say enough great things about Jessica and Kate at Mira Jean! They did an amazing job of figuring out what I wanted for our attic guest room and patiently answered any questions I had. When our first wallpaper choice came back with an absurd price quote - they pivoted and came back with an even better and cost-effective option! The end result is just lovely. I am looking for more projects so I can work with them again. **★★★★★ — Aimee Kuhlman, Oct. 2025** > Mira Jean Designs was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They helped us decorate several rooms in our home and we are thrilled with the results. Kate and her team did a fantastic job transforming our space based on our style and budget. I really appreciated their attention to detail and look forward to working with them again on future projects. **★★★★★ — The Kappys, Sept. 2025** > Kate and Jessica were incredibly easy to work with, responsive, timely with outputs, and great at working within a set budget while still ensuring we got a high quality look and pieces. In addition to design and furniture, we did a small built-in shelving and entry way project. The craftsmanship of the team they use is incredible and everyone says it looks like it was always there. We would highly recommend working with the MJD team for whatever size project. **★★★★★ — Diane Bailey, May 2025** > I simply cannot say enough good words about Kate and Jessica! We bought a DC house that was pretty much all white walls with gray accents. Our realtor wisely recommended them, and they helped us transform our home from top to bottom with a great mix of the many colors (e.g., teal, rust, lilac, blue, orange) that we love. Left to our own devices, for example, we would never have thought to put yellow wallpaper featuring blue birds in a second-level sunroom that looks out onto a giant tree, but we love it and visitors comment that the room has a lovely treehouse vibe. They were patient with us as we circled through options, coming back with new choices that showed they really HEARD us. Best of all, they are friendly, smart, and resourceful in finding great products and installers, which made the entire process less stressful and more fun than one might think. We came home from vacation and our home was transformed! **★★★★★ — Caitlin Keating-Bitonti, March 2025** > Kate met us where we were at in life, which I couldn't have appreciated more, and is part of the reason we decided to work with her and her Mira Jean Designs team on a refresh project for our living room and dining room. We just moved into a single family home as first time homeowners with a toddler and Kate and Julie listened to what are needs were for a toddler friendly design while helping us scope a reasonable budget for the project (i.e., where to splurge vs where to save). They also took note of our family's personality, working in colors and fabrics that reflected us. Our refreshed living room and dining room (where we spend most of our time) is now colorful and fun, in addition to being functional for our lifestyle. We love the end product and highly recommend Mira Jean Designs. We look forward to being repeat customers! **Comment from MiraJeanDesigns:** > Thank you, Caitlin! We loved working with you - and love all the patterns and colors in your home! **★★★★★ — cclark1025, Jan. 2025** > I cannot recommend Kate and Mira Jean Designs enough. Kate took on a massive project with us when we renovated our home, and we could not be happier with the results. She provided insight on details big and small—from furniture to fixtures and finishes—and even worked with our architect and contractor to make sure everything was just right. Kate really listened to what we wanted, came up with a theme for the design, and brought everything we wanted to fruition. I have recommended her to friends and neighbors and will continue to sing her praises. She was always a pleasure to work with (even when I wasn’t), and I promise you will be thrilled with the results of her work! **Comment from MiraJeanDesigns:** > Thank you, Christina! It was such a pleasure to work with you and on your beautifully newly renovated home! **★★★★★ — Amy J, Jan. 2025** > Kate and her team really listen. They crafted my design project around my style, my budget and my timeline. They do more work than many design firms to create a unique and individual result based on the client’s needs. **Comment from MiraJeanDesigns:** > Thank you, Amy! We love your new home and it is a pleasure to help you make it yours! **★★★★★ — Jennie Johnson, Jan. 2025** > Working with Kate and her MJD team over the past 18+ months on our long distance whole home renovation and interior design project has been a dream. You could not ask for a more collaborative, pleasant, and creative group of people to help you with your design projects. As an artist and small business owner, this work is very personal for Kate and she really wants to create a unique design to each client's taste. Even though we re-located 7 hours from the DC area, I knew I wanted to work with her again (she helped me with several spaces in my Arlington home) instead of trying to find and build rapport with a designer in my new city. If you're looking for a creative, flexible, drama-free, responsive designer...look no farther! I'm delighted that so much of Kate is reflected in our home from her artwork to her custom textiles to her gorgeous wallpapers. **Comment from MiraJeanDesigns:** > Thank you, Jennie! We love working with you -- and your new gem of a home! **★★★★★ — Stephanie, Nov. 2024** > We worked with Kate and the MJD team upon moving into our new home and before we welcomed our first child just a few months later! The MJD team completely reimagined and transformed a dining/living space off of our kitchen (complete with new built-ins, mantel, window treatments, furnishings, etc.) and crafted a design guide for our primary bedroom that we used to bring their vision to life at our own pace. The entire MJD team was a joy to work with and we're so happy with the final outcome! We appreciated their swift execution on the design presentations, seamless implementation, excellent communication from start to finish, and unwavering commitment to nail every detail. Highly recommend! ## Selected projects - [Elliot Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elliot-project-pj-vj~6867677) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - Description: Photo Credit: Jenn Verrier Photography - [Maple Avenue](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/maple-avenue-pj-vj~6866972) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - Description: This sweet Del Ray farmhouse underwent not one but three bathroom renovations, including the clients' primary bath and main level powder rooms, shown here.
