I've worked with her on 3 separate projects and she has helped me completely transform our home. After years of feeling unsettled with lingering decor issues/projects, I was finally able to feel calm and settled! > > When I first met Judy, we were ready to refresh our main floor including the entryway, living room, dining room and family room. I initially showed her a placemat that "made me feel calm." I told her I had no idea what kind of decor I wanted...just that I knew it needed to make me feel calm because I didn't currently feel that way. This may sound like a strange way to describe my "vision," but Judy totally understood what I was saying. Within one hour she had toured our home, listened to me talk about what I wanted/needed, recommended a paint color for the entire interior, recommended a general floor color (we were refinishing our hardwood floors), and made a recommendation for new light fixtures in our dining room and entryway. She also made recommendations for items in our home to re-use, including our TV stand, end table, dining room furniture and a mirror. > > A week later, we were shopping together for furniture (2 new chairs and an ottoman for our living room), for fabric (for the new couch and chair we would order for our family room), and for accessories (lamps, tables, decorative items). > > The most important thing Judy taught me is to only bring home things that I love. If I don't love it, it doesn't come into our home. This may sound small, but it truly changed the way I looked at decorating. Prior to meeting Judy, I would find things that I thought would look good and then bring them home to find that they didn't. Or they would sit in a spare room and never get hung. What I came to realize was that I was trying to buy for a specific space vs finding something I loved and building it into the space. It's made all the difference! > > I could go on and on about all the ways that Judy helped me...but I'll leave it at this: If you're looking for someone who can help you determine what you want, as well as help you in a hands-on partnership to accomplish it, then Judy is who you want to work with! **Comment from Fresh Look Interiors:** > Kristen...you made me cry, I know it doesn't take much for that, but truly your words as so kind! I LOVE helping you as I do really "get" you. What I really appreciate as well is that you want to know the why of things. Why we pick what we do, "if you don't love it, don't buy it", it is a great partnership in expanding the decorating world. I also have to say here....what I love, love, love about you is I can come back and your home is still impeccable! What your family may call OCD, I call neat, organized and company ready! Thank you for making what I do FUN! **★★★★★ — John Coonen, June 2018** > We gave Judy free reign over our home, and she delivered EXQUISITELY! Her design style is perfectly in tune with our taste. Her ability to adjust, and shift idea schemes depending upon our thoughts and budget made her an absolute dream to work with. We will hire her again on the next project for home and business! **Comment from Fresh Look Interiors:** > Thank you John & Linda! You guys did a fabulous job of doing everything we talked about to create the perfect space! **★★★★★ — Sara Bryan, June 2017** > I am a real estate professional and I've just started to rely on Judy's expertise in staging prior to listing a home. She is amazing at what she does. She is gentle with our clients in her approach to making changes in a home and the results are fantastic. A home she staged has gone under contract in 12 days! **Comment from Fresh Look Interiors:** > Thank you Sara! I love helping your clients get their homes ready to be listed with you! **★★★★★ — T J, March 2016** > We hired Judy as a consultant in the middle of kitchen & living room renovation and she was amazing! We needed help picking paint colors, back splash, cabinet pulls, curtains and placement of our existing furniture. There were many decisions that my husband and I just couldn't agree on and it helped so much to have a professional neutral party come in and give her honest, unbiased opinion. She had so many great ideas that we would have never thought of. She came with a bag of samples and colors and pictures of recent project and was able to give us the advice we needed. I wish we would have hired her from the beginning to help us pick everything else we purchased - our project would have been much less stressful. I highly recommend using Judy as an interior decorator - she will help you decide on a look that you will love forever! **Comment from Fresh Look Interiors:** > Thank you guys so much!!!! You already made some great decisions, so I was happy to be able to help you come together on the remainder of your project to feel confident that you have and are moving in the right direction for both of you! **★★★★★ — Kristina Ebel, Feb. 2015** > I am so happy that we used Judy to remodel our office space! We wanted to have a professional yet homey feel and Judy did a wonderful job giving us exactly what we were looking for. In order to minimize our closing time with our patients we brought in Judy to do most of the shopping for the décor, chairs, tile, vanities, mirrors, sconces, and basically every detail of our remodel. She working quickly and efficiently with us on every part and we were so impressed with the results! She did a fabulous job of bringing a comfortable yet elegant feel to our office. Thanks Judy! **Comment from Fresh Look Interiors:** > Thank you for your kind and generous words!!!! You and Tony have built an outstanding Chiropractic business from the ground up and and it has been amazing to see how you have grown and expanded over the years since you started. I am very proud to be a part of the Premier Chiropractic Team and hope to see you well into the future and look forward to helping with your growth and expansion along the way!!!!! **★★★★★ — Kristina Ebel, Feb. 2015** > I have used Judy from Fresh Look Interiors for many home projects and she has been amazing! After such success with our first project together I now don't make any decisions without her! Judy is very attentive to details that are personal to your specific outcome that you are looking for. She has so many great ideas but always makes sure that the result is exactly what you are looking for. I would recommend Judy to everyone and look forward to more home improvements with her on my team. **Comment from Fresh Look Interiors:** > Thank you so much Kristina! I can't tell you how much I enjoy our projects together!!!! Your enthusiasm and excitement for every project and detail is so much fun!!! I'm looking forward to our next adventure!!!!!! **★★★★★ — cobalt252, Jan. 2015** > Judy was amazing. Her ideas and feedback were spot on for our 11 year home face lift. She had incredible vision and worked within our budget. Judy is my "interior design inspirational leader". She helped transform our son's bedroom from Thomas the Tank Engine to mature teenager (something long overdue!). > > Judy started our project with a consultation resulting in a list of little suggestions to completed our rooms with minimal effort. When we were ready for the overhaul, She helped us re-purpose items we already had and guided us toward our grown up color scheme! She is a delight and we adore the results of our makeover!! Thanks Judy!! **Comment from Fresh Look Interiors:** > Thank you Jennifer! You and Dan had a beautiful home to start with, so it was such a joy to help you update your rooms and help bring your new vision to life! I love helping clients that have fabulous ideas themselves bring their ideas and inspirations to reality. **★★★★★ — Styling and Staging, Jan. 2015** > Judy is fun to work with because she has creative ideas, but can work within any budget. She makes the process interesting and enjoyable, without the stress. **Comment from Fresh Look Interiors:** > Kris as a mentor and colleague, your positive feedback is truly appreciated! ## Selected projects - [Full Home Renovation (Downtown Crystal Lake)](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/full-home-renovation-downtown-crystal-lake-pj-vj~357384) - Location: Crystal Lake, IL - Photos: 15 - Description: The goal for this project was to provide a large amount of space in a small home while keeping the small "cozy" feeling. - [Crystal Lake Home Renovation to Rental](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/crystal-lake-home-renovation-to-rental-pj-vj~357471) - Location: Crystal Lake, IL - Photos: 17 - Description: This is another project with a rental property design.
