Design Consultants in Julian

“I hired Jill after meeting her at a home show. She finished work on my beach home this past spring and we are set to start my local home after the holidays. I came across this review of Jill and found it quite inaccurate. Jill is absolutely one of the easiest designers I have ever hired. Her enthusiasm is matched by her knowledge and if left to do the job hired, her work is breathtaking. She works completely alone--just her. She is delightful and talented and I could not be happier with my decision to put my faith and my childhood summer home with her. I recommend her highly.”

“I would give Barb Lipe of Watermark Interiors 10 stars if that was an option!! Not only can I attest to Barb's amazing creativity, ease to work with, and all around professionalism, a host of many women who come through our offices would agree that she is a highly skilled and gifted designer -- even if they don't know her name. As the Executive Director of a non-profit counseling ministry for women, my vision was to create a space for our clients that was sacred -- beautifully decorated, warm, safe, and inviting. I called on Barb to help me and she was wonderful. We have been in this location for 5 years and still I get asked who did the decorating. I've also worked with Barb personally at my home. Because I'm the director of a non-profit (meaning limited budget), she was willing to work with me in a way that I could afford a professional decorator. I would tell her exactly how much time I could afford and she did everything possible to maximize that time and give me the most and best of her for my money. Not only is she creative and very good at what she does, she is also just plain FUN. A wise, beautiful, genuine woman -- no pretenses whatsoever. You could never go wrong hiring Barb Lipe of Watermark Interiors for your design needs!!”

“I hired Maj Interiors for major kitchen help. I had a tone of ideas and a huge wish list but didn’t know how to put it all together. Working with Alona was a fantastic experience; she took care of everything on my wish list and organized the whole project! She was always on top of things and made me feel comfortable throughout the renovation process. I got a fabulous kitchen that was completed on time and on budget that I absolutely love! I would recommend Maj Interiors in a heartbeat!”

“Maggie is incredible to work with! She puts you instantly at ease with her warmth and truly takes so much stress out of renovating or building. She is incredibly talented at sourcing and bringing your dream to life. She is so creative and very professional. Would absolutely recommend!!!”

“I needed help with my tired old basement and Robin came to my rescue. She is especially good at color. We also used a wallpaper in the bathroom that was fun and bold. She turned an old oak dresser into a vanity and it turned out great! We added a beautiful fireplace and hardwood floors as well. She was on time and budget and a delight to work with. I would hire her again for sure.”

“I hired Melissa to consult on some design decisions in our small rowhouse renovation. Wanting to create a seamless transition between old and new spaces Melissa offered ideas, encouragement, and a new perspective. I felt nervous to make so many decisions on my own, and Melissa was just the person I needed to talk through each decision. She offered samples and images to compliment and complete the look I was hoping to achieve. Our time together was like sitting with a good friend over a cup of tea, a pure delight.”

“Cheryl doesn’t try to make your home look just like hers…she listens carefully and pays attention to YOUR lifestyle, taste, and budget. I am very pleased with the attention to detail, color, and layout suggestions, as well as the design resources Cheryl has shared with me to help me make my home look welcoming and function just right for my family.”

“Patti Allen and Stephanie James are the best in the business. Not only do they both have impeccable taste and style, but they are honest and willing to work extremely hard and long hours to create exactly what you want in your home from floor to ceiling. I've worked with many designers before and I've never had a better experience than I did with Allen & James Interior Design. My home is in San Francisco, California and I was working with a limited budget and short timeline. Patti and Stephanie were able to meet all of my needs without a single hitch. They operate out of the largest retail furniture store in the United States so you know they are getting the best prices and furnishing options. I recommend their services 100% and will use them anytime I need ANYTHING for my home.”

“I have worked with Kathleen Monroe on multiple residential projects, and have been very satisfied with the results. Her expertise has been instrumental in bringing out a high sense of quality and style. Her skill with color and materials selection is excellent. She is a delight to work with, very flexible, and well worth the cost. I highly recommend Kathleen Monroe Design.”

“Amanda was amazing. She helped me redo my master bedroom and was great to work with. She gave me lots of options to choose from and I felt like she helped me achieve my style. I feel like she is very versatile to achieve whatever style you like- not designing it to her taste. She worked within my budget and was willing to work with my schedule too. I have already sent one of my friends to her who also was very happy.”
