They helped blend functionality with aesthetics to create a space that looks stunning but also reflects our functional requirements. > > What truly sets Jen apart is her ability to listen.

It's been wonderful to work with you on your beautiful new home! **★★★★★ — Shannon Larson, Nov. 2024** > Our family recently downsized and I contacted Jennifer to help us reimagine a new interior design style for our new home. Jennifer has been such a pleasure to work with. She's helped us coordinate everything from tile and cabinet decisions to furniture selection to blinds and shades, as well as a multitude of space planning designs for the placement of our furniture. Jennifer is always responsive and supportive, discusses our vision for our home, and has assisted in guiding many of our decisions. The process has also been lot of fun and having Jennifer to work with has made an overwhelming process into one that's much more enjoyable. I look forward to working with Jennifer on future projects! **Comment from Fresh Start Interiors:** > Thank you so much. I have loved collaborating with you on the various design elements and furnishings of your beautiful new home! I know your family will enjoy it for many years to come! **★★★★★ — Hedda Rublin, May 2024** > We are very pleased to recommend Jennifer Lozado. We recently completed a renovation of our kitchen and 3 bathrooms on the Outer Cape, and Jennifer provided invaluable assistance. We started the project on our own, but soon realized that we needed some guidance. Jennifer was terrific to work with and jumped right in to help us move the rest of the project forward. She was great at getting to know us and our taste, and reflected this understanding in her work with us. We appreciated how responsive she was, and how she was willing to do as much or as little as we asked. As we settle back in, we continue to appreciate how well she guided us on this important effort, and know we will enjoy the space for years to come. **Comment from Fresh Start Interiors:** > Thanks so much! It was great to work with you both as your on-call "design consultant." It was a pleasure to offer expertise, advice and recommendations on the many details involved in renovating these important rooms and watch you then pull it all together. They're beautiful! **★★★★★ — Janet, May 2024** > I hired Jennifer to help me with my new 4-season porch. > > Her ideas are excellent and she is wonderful to work with. Highly recommend Jennifer! **★★★★★ — jenwebster14, Dec. 2023** > A couple years back Jennifer was referred to us by a friend as we were considering a major interior paint job. After our first meet we were ready to move forward with her guidance and suggestions. We couldn't be happier with the results. > Recently we completed a total remodel of our first floor bathroom, which would have never been possible without Jennifer by our side. > She guided us through the bidding process, made reference calls on our behalf and directed us to the various suppliers for fixtures, tile and cabinetry. From the start of the project to the end she made herself available with our best interest in mind. > Without hesitation we would highly recommend Jennifer and Fresh Start Interiors. > Joe & Jennifer O'Connor **Comment from Fresh Start Interiors:** > Thank you for your support! I am thrilled with how the first floor guest bath turned out, especially with the accessibility elements we added for your family's visits. We've worked on some great projects together - furnishing the living room, all the window treatments, updating lighting & fans, the custom master bedroom closet system and the interior painting. I am looking forward to working on your second bathroom renovation together next month! **★★★★★ — Synergy Home Improvements, Dec. 2023** > I had the pleasure of discovering Jennifer and WOW am I glad I did. Working with Jennifer for interior design is definitely a breath of fresh air. Not only does she possess expert level design insight and guidance but her level of preparation and presentation with all things related to organization and communication is absolutely TOP NOTCH!! A FIVE STAR rating here is a no brainer. If you’re looking for design expertise you have found it here at Fresh Start Interiors. **Comment from Fresh Start Interiors:** > Thanks so much Geoff! I'm looking forward to working with you and your team on many future client projects! **★★★★★ — Malcolm and Myrtle Designs, Nov. 2023** > When we decided it was time to refresh our 25-year-old kitchen, we researched information on local designers and liked what we saw from Fresh Start Interiors. We looked for the address and found it is located in our hometown of Cotuit. > > When we met with Jen Lozada, we told her we understood designers prefer large projects and would not be offended if she declined our work. Jen assured us she could help us and it would allow her to schedule the work in between her large projects. > > We never felt like our project didn't garner the same attention to detail and creativity as Jen's large projects. Her response time to inquiries is incredible. Her diplomacy in resolving the unavoidable problems with contractors and slipping timelines mitigated issues and kept the project moving forward. Her knowledge and professionalism are evident in all she does. > > We are so pleased with the results of our refresh and know it is all due to Jen's skillful hand. We heartily recommend Fresh Start Interiors to anyone looking to enhance their home. **Comment from Fresh Start Interiors:** > Thank you so much for the kind review and the chance to collaborate with you on your kitchen and first floor updates! It was fun to consult here and there as you considered and selected all the various elements. It's always so satisfying to craft a transformation that results in a wonderfully refreshed look and solves storage & function dilemmas at the same time! **★★★★★ — Kim, Nov. 2023** > Jennifer Lozada at Fresh Start Interiors is a dream to work with. She asks great questions and listens deeply. There are times when I need her to lead, and there are other times when I want to take the lead on an aspect of the design process, and she transitions seamlessly, a rarity! She has a beautiful aesthetic. She also moves with me when I feel inspired to take a few design chances providing thought partnership and guidance along the way. I am in my third design project with her and could not be happier. I wouldn’t do a design project without her! **Comment from Fresh Start Interiors:** > Thank you so much! It's been wonderful to work with a client so thoughtful about ALL the details and who knows what she loves. I feel like I have been more of a gentle guide and resource on your projects while you are expertly running the show! And that's fine - every client has a different level of involvement and interest and ability and I try to be flexible and available however they need me to be. Whatever works and makes the process smooth and the outcome as functional & beautiful as your home! **★★★★★ — Judy Savage, Oct. 2023** > We were so fortunate to have Jennifer's help in planning and furnishing a major addition/renovation to accommodate year-round living on Cape Cod. From the outset, she provided valuable advice and guidance, offering creative solutions and helping us to avoid numerous potential mistakes and regrets. What I love most is that she took the time to understand our style, budget, and design goals and then brought her expertise to help us achieve the home of our dreams. She always let me take the lead on defining style preferences, but then contributed immeasurably in terms of sources, choices, layout etc. Jennifer is a pleasure to work with and is extremely responsive and accommodating. I am so glad I found Jennifer through Houzz, and will continue to seek her advice as we put the finishing design touches on what feels like a brand new home! **Comment from Fresh Start Interiors:** > Thank you Judy for the kind review! It was a pleasure being there for you to during this process - I am so happy to know that you're thrilled with the results. I like to offer my clients whatever level of assistance they need on a project and am happy to have been there for you to bounce ideas off or offer resources for things or more specific guidance when needed. Flexibility is the key because every client and every job is different. I look forward to working with you again as you finish up details! In the meantime, enjoy all your new and renovated spaces - we really did solve so many storage and functionality dilemmas and we did so stylishly! **★★★★★ — mbjm17, May 2023** > We found Jen through Houzz reviews and are so thankful that we did. Our project was a 2+ year in the making (starting in the midst of the COVID Pandemic) of a custom-built home. From design and flow review of the plans through the final details, Jen was there to guide and help us select the right options for our home. > > This was an all-encompassing bulid from Roof/shingles/decking and patio to wall colors, furniture/rugs, window treatments, etc. You name it we needed help with it. To say she was invaluable is an understatement. > > Jen took the time to understand what we were looking for, she even visited our former home to discuss our style preferences, and helped us select what to keep. Our new house is exactly OUR taste and style. She is very responsive, thoughtful, and has a great eye and memory for details. We worked together in every type of communication manner – video, in person, text and emails – all fluidly. > > We have just moved into our home and honestly can say that Jen was instrumental in saving my sanity through our project. We still have décor and details to finish the project, but we look around and say – wow, we LOVE it. > > So, I 1000% recommend Jen to anyone who wants to consider working with her. You will not be disappointed. **Comment from Fresh Start Interiors:** > Thank you so much! I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to know that you are now living in this spectacular home and that I had a part to play with you in its creation. Building a custom home is a marathon and one that involves literally hundreds of decisions both small and large. You are to be commended for your incredible organization and attention to detail throughout the long process - both of which made my job easier. I get such pleasure knowing that your family will enjoy this home for many years to come. It's what makes it all worthwhile! **★★★★★ — tcannizz, May 2023** > Jennifer is an absolute must if you are considering remodeling, refreshing or simply don't know where to start on your project. We purchased a home on Cape Cod last fall and hired Jennifer to help us make it our own. Her knowledge of local contractors and tradesman saved us so much time and research. Her eye for detail and ability to determine what is appropriate scale and design for every room is incredible. She is responsive, communicative and simply talented at what she does. Jennifer listens carefully and comes up with both timeless and creative designs to meet your needs, all while still incorporating your input. I would HIGHLY recommend her if you are looking for a stress free experience and a finished product that will exceed your expectations. **Comment from Fresh Start Interiors:** > Thank you so much! Renovating a new house from across the country could be a stressful logistical undertaking - so I'm glad I was able to help manage the updates & tradespeople locally before you arrived. We refreshed the kitchen with new counters, hardware and backsplash. We replaced light fixtures and carpet. Repainted all the walls and even wallpapered a couple rooms. Last but not least we even did a full bath renovation and selected new furniture for most the rooms. I am thrilled to know that you love what we did to make this new house your home! **★★★★★ — Lisa, April 2023** > Loved working with Jennifer!! She has a great eye and ideas. She is hard working and always in contact to update on the progress. I'm so happy she was a part of my team. She took the stress away from me! **Comment from Fresh Start Interiors:** > Thank you! I'm so pleased that you are loving your new primary bathroom. Not only did we make it beautiful but we also added and improved storage and functionality.
