### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Amy W., Dec. 2019**

> We have been working with Jessica for over 18 years. She has helped us with many different rooms in our home, from designing layouts, to ordering furniture, and recommending terrific contractors and professionals along the way. Jessica is very knowledgeable as well as tactful, so that she is always willing to give us her excellent advice based on many years of experience. She is always a pleasure to work with!

**★★★★★ — Mallory Doyle, Feb. 2019**

> I interviewed a handful of designers and then found Jessica. She is really good at what she does.  I appreciated how she respected my budget and helped find nice things for a good price. She is very efficient and great with response time.

**★★★★★ — Allison McMurtry, Feb. 2019**

> Jessica is fantastic! She has great style and is truly a joy to work with.
> She is responsive, responsible, and respectful of time and budget.

**★★★★★ — Ana Aitken, Jan. 2019**

> I am so happy that Jessica Nakata has come into my life!  I love working with her.  Jessica is super professional and a fantastic designer.  If you love design but have a hard time executing your vision Jessica can seamlessly walk you through the process.  I love working with her and you will too!

**★★★★★ — Jamie Fischer, Jan. 2019**

> I hired Jessica to help me pull together my recently renovated living space. The space is a bit small and needed very specific pieces of furniture to make the room look balanced. Jessica had great design ideas and did an awesome job making it all come together. She was very professional and attentive. I also thought it was pretty cool that she'd been a designer on HGTV!

**★★★★★ — Katie Fogarty, Jan. 2019**

> I was so impressed with Jessica's ideas in our kitchen remodel.  She was thorough, well-organized, and brought so many ideas that we would never have considered on our own.  Her experience and innate style is obvious!   She was great at explaining the pros/cons of different materials as well as layouts.  I would absolutely hire her again for more projects.

**★★★★★ — Kelly W, Dec. 2017**

> Jessica was just an all-around pleasure to work with. She's fun, professional and full of GREAT design ideas! I would happily refer her to anyone looking for a fantastic designer.

**★★★★★ — bneinstein, Nov. 2017**

> Jessica is so great!  She is incredibly professional and an absolute pleasure to work with.  I am so appreciative of the time she has spent answering my questions, helping me figure out what my style is and what my needs are, and designing a beautiful, functional room for my family.

**★★★★★ — Bobbie and Lee Clark, Nov. 2017**

> Jessica is very professional and helpful in choosing the right furnishings for all the projects she has done for us.  I really appreciate her honesty and help.

**★★★★★ — Jerry and Nicole, June 2017**

> Jesica is just a dream to work with.  We had an idea for our banquette, she contributed her design concepts, and the execution was flawless.  Her contractors were prompt and considerate.  She is trustworthy in every respect, and she was able to complete the project perfectly while we were on vacation.  What a treat to return to this great new space.  She's just the best.

**★★★★★ — sr\_girl, Feb. 2017**

> Jessica is fabulous.  We hired her to clean up some not so great design from a prior designer and she did amazing work.  Jessica has a great eye and is able to tailor to the client's own style.  Every time she brings me options, there are only a few and they are all spot on.  I love that I don't have to cull through hundreds of choices and that I don't feel the need to do so--I know Jessica has picked the best few.  She is highly responsive and dependable.  She also is immediately on top of any issues.  I absolutely love working with Jessica.

**★★★★★ — Meghan Sachs, Nov. 2016**

> We hired Jessica to help us design our master suite renovation project. We love our new bathroom! Our bedroom is coming along great so far as well.  We have a challenging master suite space to start with and Jessica has really helped us to turn it into a place we are really enjoying. Jessica not only has great taste, she is easy to work with, responsive, and really listens to her clients. We would recommend Jessica to our family and friends and we would hire her again ourselves.

Any insight into the sconces? They bring to mind Visual Comfort's Hulton sconce, but with a drum shade. :)

**Q: What edge did you use? Is the overhang finished underneath or hollow?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: mitered.

**Q: Would love to know the bench fabric!** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Thanks for the question! The fabric used on the bench is Kathryn Ireland "Graham".

**Q: Hi, can you tell me where the wicker chairs are from? Thank you!** *(in Photo Questions)*

My daughters room has very high windows just like this pic.  Can you tell me the brand and type of shades that were used.

A: Tricky window aren't they ! These were custom made by my fabricator. You might be able to find suitable shades through Smith and Noble (you just have to do the measuring yourself) if you don't want to go the custom route.
