### Typical Job Cost

The cost of our jobs varies on the type of space and the scope of work. We will work in one space or an entire home. If we are working on just reupholstering some furniture and adding some accents a space can cost as low as $10,000 (or less depending on how much needs done), or if we are working on renovating an entire home it could cost as high as $150-200,000. We do not specialize in Kitchen or Bath design, but we can assist in picking finishes and finalizing layouts.

**★★★★★ — Deborah Recker, Jan. 2019**

> Evelyn James Interiors exceeded our expectations on every level.  They were involved in the earliest stages of our family room/deck project and worked closely with the contractor to bring our vision to reality.   Jim's design experience, creativity and construction knowledge were invaluable in the timely completion of this project.  Our new living space is beautiful, comfortable and enhances our daily lives!  From paint colors, window treatments to furniture and placement, Evelyn James provided stellar advice and vendors.

**Comment from Evelyn James Interiors:**

> thank you so much! You were great to work with and have a beautiful space!

**★★★★★ — MARGARET H, Jan. 2019**

> I highly and enthusiastically recommend Evelyn Wedner of Evelyn James Interiors.  I have worked with Evelyn over many years and her guidance and professionalism is without equal.  Past projects include family room and dining room; we are currently working on a master bath and will be soon starting a kitchen remodel.  She interfaces and communicates with all vendors respectfully and promptly, and is flexible in adapting our plans when practical or structural considerations necessitate a change.  In addition to her design expertise, Evelyn thoughtfully approaches every project with my lifestyle, goals, and budget in mind, while also ensuring a beautiful and functional design.  Evelyn is simply a lovely person and a pleasure to work with, making the entire experience enjoyable!

**★★★★★ — Ellaine Rosen, Jan. 2019**

> I loved working with Jim.  He was a professional in every aspect of the project.  I highly recommend his services.  I intend to work with him on my next home renovation.

**Comment from Evelyn James Interiors:**

> Thank you Ellaine! You are such a dream to work with

**★★★★★ — Kris Davitt, Jan. 2019**

> We worked with Jim from Evelyn James Interiors to decorate our new home in Shadyside. It was an absolutely wonderful experience. He listened and asked helpful questions, presented interesting ideas, and always made it comfortable for us to discuss options. He was able to translate our random thoughts into a very special look, while still making our house feel like a home.  I especially appreciated the enthusiasm he brought to his work, which made it a very fun experience. He has a strong network of contractors and craftspeople who added unique touches to the space.  Jim also made it comfortable for us to talk about budget and we never felt pressured to spend more money than we were able to.  We had a problem with one piece of furniture, and Jim was extremely quick to respond and to fix the problem.  Beyond Jim, everyone at this firm was professional, responsive and thorough.  I look forward to working with them again soon.

**Comment from Evelyn James Interiors:**

> Thank you so much for the lovely review Kris! We feel the same about you, you and Rick were wonderful and fun to work with

**★★★★★ — Jaime Cohen, Jan. 2019**

> It was a pleasure working with Jim. He did a wonderful job and I love spending time in my apartment

**Comment from Evelyn James Interiors:**

> Thank you Jaime! We had such an amazing time working on your condo!

**★★★★★ — rachie1717, Dec. 2013**

> I hired Ms. Evelyn Wedner from this firm to help design and decorate our brand new apartment.
> She helped me with the layout of the furniture and to pick new pieces to place in our unit.
> In addition all the fabrics and pillows were co-ordinated with her.
> This was no easy task after leaving a home that we lived in for thirty years that was a multilevel home
> and downsized to a gorgeous two bedroom/two bath unit.
> She has very unique taste and was respectful of our needs and desires.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Who makes the wallpaper and where can I get a sample?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Art Deco entry way - 23rd St NYC Project

A: Hello! Thank you for reaching out! This was a wallpaper from Bradury & Bradbury! If you'd like to email me at evelynjamesinteriors@yahoo.com with your address we can order you a sample!

**Q: looking for Art Deco mirrored bathroom sink cabinets  the** *(in Photo Questions)*

I am looking for a mirrored sink cabinet with horizontal strips of mirrored glass as the base for the sink.

A: Hello! Unfortunately we didn't source this room, we just helped the architect design it. None of our vendors have any mirrored vanity cabinets. I would suggest contacting your local kitchen and bath showroom, they often have many more resources than ourselves. Sorry I couldn't help you more! - Angela

**Q: Love the black & white "tables" and snake wall paper** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you tell me where I can find them? Thanks!

A: Thank you for the comment! The tables are no longer available, but the fabric for the walls is. It's sold to interior designers only though, we'd love to work with you! Please email us at evelynjamesinteriors@yahoo.com if you are interested!

**Q: what kind of mirrors?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Do they open?

A: Hello! These do open, they are recessed into the wall. From Robern

**Q: What color is on the wall?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Sherwin WIlliams Swanky Gray
