**★★★★★ — Richard Keating, Aug. 2016**

> Phenomenal experience!  Stylish, professional and personable.  Redesign of modern townhouse started off with a design meeting and discussion.  A few weeks later was provided room designs, color suggestions, furniture recommendations, and more.  I started off with painting the interior and adding appropriate furniture.  I kept in touch with Joan for a number of years and hired her for ideas.  Over a period of 5 years my home was nearly new with new kitchen, 3 bathrooms, hardwood floors, carpets all based on her input.  When I sold in 2015 it had multiple offers and went for well above competition, both realtors pointed out it was because of the design.  If I lived in the area I would use again and highly recommend.

**Comment from Get Back JoJo:**

> Thank you so much Richard! It has been a pleasure working with you all these years!

**★★★★★ — naureenmufti, May 2016**

> Joan has helped us with window treatments for our entire house.  Not only is she extremely professional but she is also very knowledgeable and offers great options that I would have never thought of.  She always gives 100% of herself when she visits and is a true design blessing.  I would recommend her to anyone looking for interior and exterior design consultation.

**★★★★★ — loping\_yeh, May 2016**

> I engaged Joan to redecorate my living room with all new furniture and to give it a fresh look.  Joan was great in listening to what I was looking for and understanding my personal style.  Based on this initial conversation, she provided choices for sofas, swivel chairs, coffee table, end table.  In addition, she had pre-selected fabrics and designs that she thought I would like.  We literally spent an hour together in my living room and I made all my choices in an hour.  It was obvious that the furniture options she provided me and the pre-selected fabrics and designs options that she showed me were very much aligned with my style.  My husband trusted my taste and absolutely loved my choices when he saw my selections.  It was exactly what my husband and I were looking for.  It was the EASIEST experience to work with Joan.  She chose patterns and designs that I would have never thought to select but ended up loving them.  My husband and I are thrilled with our new living room and absolutely love it.  Joan made the experience friction-less and fun.  She has an amazing ability to translate your vision and ideas into concrete designs.  We would definitely recommend her and use her again.

**★★★★★ — kathleen123abc, Sept. 2013**

> I would not think of embarking on a project without bringing in Joan.  I have worked with her on several different projects...and her talent is amazing.  Whether working on a living room, dining room, bedroom or adding a conservatory...she exceeds expectations every time.
>
> I am working with her right now on a second conservatory but I would not have moved to my current home without consulting her first.
>
> Generous with her time and a great collaborator!!!

**★★★★★ — sthelena, Jan. 2013**

> Joan was initially hired to help with measurements for a sectional sofa and update our home.  After spending time with Joan and explaining some of our concerns, she helped to incorporate her suggestions and options while allowing us to be actively involved.  She is very efficient, stayed within our budget, and was always accessible through email and replied promptly.  Joan also did a great job recommending paint colors and gave us helpful ideas for future updating.  She is professional and was a lot of fun to work with.

**★★★★★ — kmorrella, May 2012**

> Joan has always been sensitive to my design preferences while encouraging me to make more daring and exciting decisions to modernize our home.  Her influence is evident in the four main areas of our house: kitchen, dining, TV and living room.  I love how Joan manages to utilize what we have while helping me select new pieces to energize and refresh our decor.  Most recently, Joan helped me select a sectional sofa, area rug and ottomans for our TV room to replace pillow furniture which we had used and loved for years.  We are very happy with the new look and increased comfort.

**★★★★★ — Barkha, April 2012**

> It was a pleasure working under Joan. She always knows what she wants. She gets the best out of people working for her and is always available for any query. She knows exactly what her clients need and gets them the best in their budget. She has been very co-operative and I highly recommend her to people who want to get the interiors of their house beautified.
> I love how she plays with colors and can add life to the dullest of rooms.

  - Description: This is a fabulous home in Willow Glen area of San Jose. We started with window coverings for the Living and Dining Rooms then we moved on to the Master Bedroom. The final stage of the project was the Conservatory, which was a prefab structure, so we needed to dress it up: we added crown molding, a chandelier, black and white floor (marble and granite) and custom upholstered pieces. When this client moved to Menlo Park we were able to use the same pieces in their second conservatory.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Did I  pay  too much?** *(in Polls)*

This is my first time having to replace my furnace. The old one was in fixable and over 15 yrs old. I ended up going with Bell Brothers. They recommended a Ruud R801s furnace. With installation, cutting out a new larger return, and new duct work, rerouting the condensation drip lines. Etc... it took 12 hrs for the install. I paid $7000 for all. I'm beginning to feel like I got snookered for not shopping for bids

A: nothing seems to cost leass than 10k these days!

**Q: How much did you spend on your kitchen?** *(in Polls)*

I am shocked at how much more we are spending on our kitchen this time around. It’s been 7 years and this project is a little more complicated, but it’s going to cost double what the last one did. Ours is about 15% of our home value, so it still seems ok to me.
How much did/is everyone spending on your kitchen?

A: so funny Kaylie....I used to live in Lawrenceville-absolutely loved it! Beautiful area! Lived there before moving to California

**Q: why do so many expensive homes lack a high end kitchen?** *(in Appliances)*

I live in a Boston suburb with median home prices so crazy high that most sane people from other parts of the country would burst out in laughter (or tears). My house is probably slightly above the median. I am planning a remodel for a kitchen that hasn't seen much love in decades. (We've been here 10 years.) 

Wanting to keep up with the local market standards for future resale, I regularly check real estate listings for homes of comparable value (and higher). What I see are kitchens that are, more often than not, pretty underwhelming, relative to the home price. These are homes selling for between a million and a million and a half. Personally, if I were buying a house for a million plus, I'd expect high end appliances/cabinets/floors/etc. 

I hope I can get my point across. What might explain why so many really expensive homes have lackluster kitchens? Is it just that I value certain things and others don’t? Different tastes? I suspect that it’s usually not because people maxed out their finances just to buy the house, as so many people in my town probably have mid-six figure incomes and up. (I wouldn’t include myself in there!) Is it just that in this neck of the woods, a million bucks isn't what it is elsewhere? Weird, unimportant questions, but any input is appreciated.

A: There are many ways to look at this discussion. First and foremost kitchen remodels are TOUGH-:
they cost a small fortune, no sink, no dishwasher, paper plates...etc no one is overly excited about having to remodel their kitchen so sometimes they just DONT. Maybe why you are seeing sub par/undwerwhelming kitchens-and when one considers moving they decide to let the new home owner do the work. Lots of variables here-New construction in the Bay Area-lots of fancy new kitchens with the latest techno appliances...very appealing to some. For some it is great to buy a place that can let you make it your own and within a reasonable budget...others may have no choice and have to purchase someone else's crappy design....never easy.

**Q: Just wondering what the wall color is?** *(in Photo Questions)*

So many Beiges out there,

A: Thank you. It was a fun project for a lovely

**Q: Before & After, Master Bathroom** *(in Before & After)*

We've been in our house for 26 years. I hated this bathroom wallpaper then and now, but it became invisible to me after awhile. The room was divided into two choppy spaces. The vanity and closet area was carpeted in a lovely rust/brown delight. There was faded vinyl in the tub & toilet area. For whatever reason, I couldn't bring myself to photograph the tub/shower combo and toilet. There was also a linen closet in there.

As you can see, I tried out various paint colors on the wallpaper (it was hard to mar such beauty) before settling on Sherwin Williams Sea Salt for the walls and SW Pure White for cabinets and trim.

Excuse the bad angles. I found it much harder to get good pics of the bathroom in comparison to when we remodeled our kitchen/breakfast/den/laundry/powder room four years ago.

Here goes:




The sinks and hardware are stylin'.





The REAL before picture had crap all over that white cabinet counter. The cabinets had no shelves inside, which rendered them impotent. (Can cabinets be impotent?) 





After. Do we think there was a slight improvement? We do!

A: what a difference!! Before and afters really help see all the changes and all the hard work

**Q: If this was your kitchen ....what would you do first??** *(in Polls)*

A: if it were my kitchen I would want to lighten it up-it seems kind of dark...lighter counter tops,  or dark counter tops with white cabinets-it could be the photo but to me this reads closed in.
