### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Jessica Bucker, Feb. 2020**

> We are so grateful to have found Tera Janelle and her team! Tera helped us transform our entryway, front sitting room and living room into a truly beautiful space that feels like home. She worked with us to figure out our goals and ideas for the space and came up with a gorgeous vision. She chose beautiful new elements, but also incorporated existing pieces to create an amazing blend of new and old. The result was stunning!
>
>  Every detail of the renovation was communicated impeccably, and there were zero surprises throughout the entire process.  Even though our reveal date was immediately before Thanksgiving, Tera hit the deadline and even came in under budget! We loved that the reveal was a surprise and that we weren't allowed to peek during the final weeks of construction and installation of the furniture. It made the reveal even more special! We couldn't be happier and will definitely be bringing Tera Janelle Design back soon to do our kitchen renovation!

**★★★★★ — Ardyth Sailsbery, April 2019**

> We could not be more happy with our renovated house.  The Tera Janelle Design team did an amazing job of using the space extremely well while making everything look incredible at the same time.  Their vision to move a few walls, stairway and doorways made the home fit us perfectly.  The custom cabinetry in the kitchen, bedroom and home office pleasantly surprised us with the amount of storage and practical layout.  Tera and her team are attentive and ask the right questions to understand our tastes and lifestyle and create spaces that fit us.  Their beautiful design of the lower rental apartment brought in an excellent tenant with other great applicants.  Tera has an excellent relationship with the contractors and craftsman and follows through with all the details to insure quality and completion.  We love the furniture, light fixtures and decor.  Everything is comfortable AND beautiful. We would definitely hire Tera Janelle Design again.

**★★★★★ — L Fannon, April 2019**

> We had an excellent experience with Tera Janelle. We would highly recommend her services for anyone looking for a design team with exceptional work ethic, attention to detail and wonderful design ideas.

**★★★★★ — Adam Stevens, Aug. 2018**

> Tera’s attention to detail, professionalism, exceptional communication, and wonderful eye for design are all reasons why I love Tera Janelle Design. My recent whole home renovation went seamlessly, largely due to Tera’s efforts and skill. I will be a Tera Janelle Design client for life as long as I live here in Lynchburg. Tera was the first person I hired for my renovation, and I would def recommend her to friends, family and colleagues who are considering renovation and/or redecorating. The final reveal was delightful, Tera’s final Project Guide is incredible, and undoubtedly her expertise has added exceptional value to my “new” home!

**★★★★★ — Shar Wadd, Feb. 2018**

> Working with Tera Janelle to take our lower level from studs and concrete to GORGEOUS was a delight from start to finish. She fully respected my own style and ideas, but her expertise took our project way beyond what I even thought possible.  From initial planning, to shopping fixtures and furniture, to all the finishing touches, she worked her magic with professionalism, fun and brilliance.  I thoroughly enjoyed her upbeat and affirming personality, her timeliness and attention to every detail. 5 stars PLUS!

**★★★★★ — kathyqllc, Feb. 2018**

> Tera’s the best, she is a very talented designer.   Super down to earth and approachable.  She helped us making multiple selections and finishes for our new custom home, and designed a beautiful kitchen backsplash for us.   We discovered her later in our build, but if we had to do it over  again, we would’ve involved her at the very beginning of the design/build process.  We will definitely be using in the future!

**★★★★★ — Simone Morgan, Jan. 2018**

> My husband originally suggested I contact Tera Janelle Design for a consultation to choose paint colors in our new home.  But once she came over, I knew she would help our design vision come to reality.  She designed a very spacious layout for our Master Bedroom/Master Bathroom remodel.  She also designed our kitchen remodel and our son’s bathroom.  She embraced any ideas I had, but incorporated her design expertise, for a polished look.  When choosing various design choices, she always presented options within our budget and maintained timely communication throughout our project.  It was a pleasure to work with the team and I highly recommend Tera Janelle Design for your next home remodel!

**★★★★★ — Meredith McCauley, Sept. 2017**

> Working with Tera Janelle Design was such a great experience.  They made the remodel  painless and they helped our vision become a reality.  She gave us lots of options but never overwhelmed us during the process.  They always responded to emails and calls promptly and was on time for all meetings.  We look forward to working with Tera Janelle Designs in the future and highly recommend them for anyone looking for design assistance!!

**★★★★★ — Piedmont Floors, May 2017**

> Tera is such a talented designer. Her dedication to her clients and profession are unparalleled. We've worked with her individually and with her customers to create wonderful spaces in their homes. She's involved every step of the way and is attentive to each detail. We look forward to evolving our professional relationship with her and will be delighted to help in future projects!

**★★★★★ — Jason Phelps, May 2016**

> Tera worked with us on re-doing our living room, kitchen, dining room and main hallway in our home.  We wanted something clean, simple and organized and she nailed it!
>
> Working with Tera was nothing short of amazing. We felt comfortable with her from the moment we called her, and that trust was reinforced when she came to our home. She not only took our ideas and made them come to life, she respected our budget and our personal style and brought to our home what we never imagined would be possible. Even our 2 year old says “I like new house!” We’re so thankful for her and looking forward to working with her again!

**★★★★★ — rrhodges, March 2016**

> Working with Tera Janelle Design was a dream come true.  We love great comfortable design, but when it came to decorating our home, we didn't quite know how to put it together.  I was fortunate enough to see the work she did for a friend, and I instantly knew we wanted \[Tera's\] talent and expertise.  Not only did she listen to our wants and our needs, she got them, and sometimes better than we did!  Tera made the process comfortable, fun, and exciting and came in within $100 of our budget - huge bonus!  We love everything about our new spaces and are already thinking of our next project with Tera Janelle Design.

**★★★★★ — Tyler Sailsbery, March 2016**

> Ms Auch did an amazing job meeting my budget and working with things that I already had but tied in key new elements. She took the time to make sure that my business was what I wanted and just what she wanted. I have consulted with her continually since.
