The end result is a wonderfully decorated, comfortable and sophisticated beachy home - the initial reaction of all our friends and visitors is Wow!. From start to finish, Jocelyn was a consummate professional. She is also warm, friendly, and a joy to work with. She quickly understood the general direction that we wanted to take, while also pushing us beyond our comfort zone in terms of color and patterns with fabulous results. She came up with ideas and proposals that I could never have found on my own. Jocelyn is a careful listener, and she was always prepared to go back to the design board when I was not totally satisfied with her proposals. She was responsive and helped me throughout the entire house building process. I could never have reached this wonderful, happy ending without her continuous guidance and inspiration. I know that I will use her again in the future as design challenges arise, and I would without any hesitation recommend Digs design to anyone looking for design assistance. She is the best! **★★★★★ — herbchen, Aug. 2014** > Digs Design Company decorated my living room, family room, dining room, and master bedroom. They were able to work with my style and budget preferences to give me multiple choices for each item that went into the projects. I receive compliments from everyone who comes into my home. I could not have achieved the look I wanted without hiring a professional and Digs certainly met my expectations. I couldn't be happier with the final product. The only downside was the amount of time the projects took. I had never worked with a professional designer before and wasn't expecting to job to take as long as it did start to finish. That said, I would certainly work with Digs again. **★★★★★ — Becky Durkin, Aug. 2014** > I hired DIgs Design for my residence and then I hired them for a brand new 16 room Boutique Hotel in Narragansett Rhode Island. > I can not give enough stars for the professionalism and talent that Jocelyn has shown, both within the residential and commercial settings. > She gets great press in magazines. I can't tell you how many compliments I get for what she did in my home. > When the hotel opens, there will be surely be many folks who will want their home to look like the hotel as well!! So many really great selections, but together in such a well thought out way. > She is always there when you need her, she follows through and gets the job done in a timely manner. She is also very good at working with contractors and helping with all facets of the job. For example, she helps with choosing doors, hardware, plumbing fixtures, bathroom selections, paint colors, finishes, etc. > Also, her support team , Trish and Rachel, are great too. **★★★★★ — kferoce, Nov. 2012** > When I met Jocelyn, before I knew what she does for a living, I was struck by her sense of personal style. Having worked with her on the interior and exterior design of my home for the better part of the past 4 months I realized that her true gift is not in her own innate stylishness. It is understanding my personal style and bringing it to life in a beautiful design plan that reflects my own aesthetic preferences. In addition, Jocelyn is a consummate professional. She has handled all of the processes involved with a major re-decoration project seamlessly. She has referred and coordinated with all contractors and handled all aspects of ordering, delivery and setup of the rooms. Overseeing the pace of the project, as my family is living in the home while it is being 're-done', has been challenging and she has handled it with an organized, professional manner and a can-do attitude. As the project is still in process, I am unable to upload pictures until it is complete, however it is progressing seamlessly and beautifully. I would highly recommend Digs Design, and Jocelyn Chiappone. **Comment from Digs Design Company:** > Many thanks. I am enjoying the transformation from house to home for you and your family. I truly believe a great designer must not only be highly creative but posses exceptional project management skills. I look forward to our big reveal in a few months. **★★★★★ — alcarcieri, Nov. 2012** > "Wallpaper on the ceiling!", my husband said about Jocelyn's design for our guest lavette. Needless to say, after Jocelyn's transformation, it is our favorite room in our home. > > Color, wallpaper, lighting, furnishings and accessories - Jocelyn is the best. I now have carte blanche approval for design projects with Jocelyn. We're moving to Raleigh, NC and my husband wants to fly this designer down to re-do the new house. > > Jocelyn can transform a spec house into a custom-designed look. Impeccable taste. A natural talent. > > Renovating is stressful, but her personality keeps things calm and focused. > > Highly recommended. **Comment from Digs Design Company:** > I hear it is warm in NC. Anything to beat this chilly New England weather. I'll be on the next plane. It has been a pleasure working with you and am looking forward to seeing the outcome on your current bath remodels! **★★★★★ — suzanneoswald23, Oct. 2012** > I had an incredible experience working with Jocelyn. She helped me transform my family room, living room, and dining room into gorgeous and comfortable living spaces. Jocelyn helped me choose furnishings, paint colors, wall paper, window treatments, light fixtures, and accessories. I was always impressed with how well she was able to capture the 'me' in these spaces. Jocelyn was reliable, knowledgeable, assessable, and always respected my budget. I recently moved out of state and I must say that the purchases I made with Jocelyn were a joy to take with me. With her help, I have made investments in furnishings that I will have forever. I am so glad I have had the opportunity to work with Jocelyn and I know that even 1500 miles away I can count on her for the best interior advice! **★★★★★ — jbrw, Oct. 2012** > Terrific A-plus designer who works wonderfully with clients. Easygoing, patient, creative, with impeccable taste and knowledge of the interior design industry. Would recommend Digs Design highly to anyone who is seeking interior design services of any scale. Digs Design provides wonderful service, ideas, and execution and is perfect for those seeking design services for the first time or those who have had previous experience working with designers. **Comment from Digs Design Company:** > Thank you for your kind words. It has always been a pleasure working with you and I look forward to making your dream kitchen a reality!
