Fresh Start Interiors

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

Jennifer transformed our outdated and not very comfortable living room into space that we can enjoy with friends and family. The new room is beautiful, functional, and also casual. We have play space and storage for grandchildren and space for adults to sit comfortably and talk. Jennifer was mindful of cost and how we used (and wanted to use) the space. She was a delight to work with and could not have been more helpful or accommodating. I recommend her highly. A+++

Jen is wonderful advisor on design and a great listener to consult with and achieve your interior decor objectives. I had to make some quick choices with my new construction, Jen really helped me organize the elements of those difficult choices.

Jennifer has been helping be this past year with several projects. The biggest was selecting cabinets for den and bedroom. Jennifer helped select cabinet makers and monitored the job from start to finish - she has amazing attention to every detail (many things I would have missed). Now we are working on finding throw pillow and artwork. I know I would never have gotten through these projects without her help.

Jen helped me with my primary suite addition in East Falmouth. Her design style was just what I needed. I was all over the board with how I wanted my new space to look. She took the time to go over my options, send me Pinterest boards, met me at various shops and came to my home for many in home consolations. We are so happy with the way the space came out!! You can't go wrong with Jen!! I won't do anything in my home without her opinion ever again.

We selected Jennifer as our interior designer for a major addition and complete remodel of our existing home. We couldn't be happier with the results. She was involved in every step of the project including building design decisions, paint and furniture selections and placement, and everything in between. Jennifer was always available, even on short notice to provide selections and input, always mindful of the furnishings we were keeping, our overall budget, and personal aesthetic. She worked seamlessly with the building contractor and subs to ensure everything was perfect. I personally learned a lot during this process and enjoyed working with her very much. We now have a beautiful home that is very much an expression of us vs. cookie cutter design. We highly recommend her.

I first consulted with Jennifer, who came highly recommended by a friend with whom she had worked, about five years ago when we were deciding whether to do a small or large-scale renovation of our home. Jennifer helped us think through this major decision, and identify and interview several architects, builders and kitchen designers. We ultimately decided to do a large-scale renovation of our entire home and Jennifer was extremely helpful throughout the process on a range of consultations, from discussing design ideas to helping pick exterior and interior paint colors to helping pick lighting and hardware fixtures throughout the house. Now that the actual renovation is finished, Jennifer has been invaluable in helping select furnishings, rugs and other items for various rooms and spaces throughout our basically "new" home. Jennifer has great taste herself, but also is very attuned to our tastes and preferences. I really could not have done all of this by myself -- Jennifer has taught me so much about the renovation process, picking experts, design, color and a whole range of things that don't come naturally to me! She also is responsive and extremely easy to work with -- I just love knowing that she is "there" and always willing to help when I want to bounce ideas off of her. Honestly, she has become a trusted resource and friend. I cannot say enough positive things about her!

When my husband and I decided to remodel our kitchen, which also includes a walk-in pantry and informal dining and tv sitting areas, we turned to a local cabinet maker who recommended the interior design services of Jennifer Lozada, principal of Fresh Start Interiors. Not having worked with an Interior Designer for our previous renovations, we weren’t certain what to expect. I can say without reservation it was the best decision we ever made. Scrolling through sites like Pinterest and Houzz is a great first step to gather inspirational ideas. Given all the small and large decisions that go into interior renovation, the process can be an overwhelming and exhausting experience. Looking back, if we had chosen to go it alone, we would have made costly mistakes. With her professional expertise and extensive resource network, Jennifer provided the guidance necessary to help us make decisions that transformed our outdated kitchen areas into beautiful and comfortable spaces. To work with Jennifer, is to work with a designer who is personable, an excellent listener and respectful of your opinion. I felt we worked as a team to determine pleasing color schemes and design materials (including cabinet knobs, tiles, paint colors, rugs, and furniture, etc.). We even went on field trips to furniture and tile stores to discuss options. When issues and questions arose, she addressed them quickly and effectually. To organize and help narrow choices, I really liked the Inspiration Board and Pinterest Page she developed on which we both could pin and discuss ideas (very helpful for us visual learners). Major house renovations are serious undertakings, so hiring Fresh Start Interiors was a wise and successful investment. Jennifer capably led us in new and different directions that resulted in what we were seeking -- a fresh, updated and coordinated look to be enjoyed for years to come.

I can’t say enough about Fresh Start Interiors. Jennifer was able to take my ideas and vision and create my dream living room while staying within budget! I smile every time I walk into the room. I can’t wait for our next project.

We met Jennifer to discuss a “refresh” of our kitchen. Jennifer was excellent at listening to our needs and guiding us to a vision of what that might mean. Jennifer set up a Pinterest board where we could all pin ideas of what we liked in order to guide selections. After getting initial estimates and looking at the space a little more, we decided to go for a much bigger remodel. Even though we’ve lived on the Cape longer, Jennifer introduced us to wonderful vendors for each piece of the project: appliances, counters, electric, cabinets, tile. She was always available to answer questions and to follow up with a vendor. Her taste is impeccable and we’ve been thrilled with every suggestion. We are heading towards the end of this project and will happily call her again for any future ones.

After following Jennifer's Instagram for a few years, I knew I would call on her when I was ready for my kitchen remodel because I loved everything she did for other clients. I am so lost on these types of projects because I get overwhelmed by the infinite choices when starting from scratch. Jennifer looked at my house, a 1929 Tudor, and asked my about my thoughts on color scheme, and guided me from there with patience and understanding for my occasional lack of decisiveness. My kitchen is now about a week away from completion, and as the construction drop cloths and floor coverings come off, I am more and more thrilled with the final result. It's well beyond anything I would have come up with on my own. I could never have pulled things together on my own and have it end up so beautiful and unique and totally fitting with my old house while still having modern kitchen elements. Every professional she pulled in, the cabinet designer, tile store, and more were also wonderful to work with. Finally, she is very fair in her fees.

Jennifer stepped in during the construction phase of my new vacation home. Building from the ground up was overwhelming and I brought Jennifer in to assist with furniture location and paint selections. She was quick to respond , friendly and put together a professional furniture lay out and paint schedule for each of my rooms. Her suggestions were right on target and saved me from making some of the those final decisions. I really appreciated Jennifer's time working with me both via email and coming on site. Highly recommend Jennifer if you need some interior design direction!

Over the past several months I have been working with Jennifer of Fresh Start Interiors for my home office renovation, my kitchen renovation, and now I’m moving on to a living room refresh. She takes the stress out of all the decision-making. Jennifer will work with any budget and her keen eye, attention to detail and thoughtfulness are evident in all the beautiful results. Her calm demeanor is also very much appreciated. I will continue to use Jennifer’s services and recommend her for all interior design needs.

I contacted Fresh Start Interiors based on the great reviews. I was new to the area and needed help pulling together the decorating for my main living space of my home. Jennifer was so easy to work with, down to earth and very responsive. I love all of the items she helped me select and I get so many compliments on how things look! I would highly recommend her for any of your decorating projects.

We found Jennifer on this site and have so enjoyed working with her to redecorate our living room. We wanted to move away from a traditional look to a more updated, coastal look to fit our lifestyle on the cape. She gave us some terrific ideas for lighting and paint colors. She went to the furniture store and helped us narrow down our choices and was extremely helpful working with us on window treatments. She helped us develop a color palette that worked on the first floor, including kitchen, family room, living room and powder room and gave us ideas for all the rooms. The finished living room looks fantastic and the entire first floor looks fresh and updated. Jennifer was easy to work with and very responsive.

My family decided to make a big room in the middle of the pandemic. I've never worked with an interior designer before; but it was important for me to find a partner that could make our new house a home. It's an historic home built in the 1600's and I wanted to stay true to the history of the house without feeling like we were living in a museum. I found Jennifer on Houzz and started working with her before we moved in. She helped me choose a color palette for the home and connected us with local professionals. I couldn't be happier with the choices. Even the painters were taking pictures of the finished rooms. In a matter of weeks, we could start to see what our new home could be. Together, we've started tackling the design vision for the house. Jennifer is an innovated designer and knows how to mix new pieces with antiques found at estate sales and online. I've learned so much from her in this process. Jennifer is a true partner that knows how to work with her clients. I am so glad I am working with her and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need to interior design services. I can't wait to see what our home will look like as we continue to fill and furnish it. Thank you, Jennifer!

We recently worked with Jennifer for interior design consultation in connection with a redesign of our dining room. After many years of having what we call the "typical" dining room with the table & chairs in the center of the room we decided (based on our lifestyle) we wanted a much more functional room. We were looking for advice on a "corner nook" table we saw and coveted on-line. We were uncertain as whether this piece would actually work in the available space and to do this we would have had to narrow the existing opening between our living room and dining room. Before contacting Jennifer we literally obsessed for hours over whether this was a good idea. We found Jennifer extremely easy to work with and she offered a choice of services that fit our interest and at a very reasonable price. Jennifer effectively steered us into the right direction, the "corner nook" table wasn't a good idea for our space. She helped us design a layout and choose furniture that both meets our wish list of functionality of the dining room and optimizes our available space. We are very content with these accomplishments and happy with the direction our dining room is taking. Currently we are working with Jennifer again to figure out wall paint and a rug for the room. Her professional expertise and guidance are invaluable tools. I would highly recommend engaging the services of Jennifer Lozada with your home interior design projects.

I can’t say enough good things about working with Jennifer! This was my first time doing any remodeling and I was a bit overwhelmed with all the details involved in taking a room down to bare bones and recreating it. In a confident, extremely competent, non-pushy manner, Jennifer shared her expertise while drawing out my own style preferences. In addition to being easy to talk to, she always gave prompt and reassuring responses to all of my questions or qualms! I was so impressed with the way she can focus on many details yet maintain the big picture, to make sure any design choices flow and coordinate with pre-existing style and structure.

Jennifer has been a real gift to us! This is our first time building a home from start to finish. The idea of furnishing it all is quite overwhelming. Jennifer is calm and patient and really got to know us in order to help us best. She has tons of good ideas, and isn't upset if you decide to go in a different direction. She is easy to work with, in person and in email. She is incredibly responsive and always follows through on what she says she will do. She gives clear feedback and is always looking for something that would work best for us. I have sent her countless ideas and emails and she patiently answered every single one of them. We still have months to go on this project but knowing she is out there for us has made the process so much smoother, and we are able to have a lot of fun with it knowing she is there for us!

We loved working with Jennifer! She is professional yet personable. She listened to our needs and desires, and came up with options for solutions very quickly. She is responsive and kept us moving forward without being pushy. Her suggestions were spot on. She helped us freshen up our Cape House living room, which needed updating after 20 years. We love the result - so comfortable and bright, as if it should have been like this all along. Even during these COVID times, it was very easy to work with her - combination of digital and in person. And very reasonably and fairly priced. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and found her through Houzz.

Jennifer has been a great find! And my first ever through an online service. First is her flexibility. I am doing an update of my kitchen and Jennifer made herself available to me on a limited consultation basis. But the value of the consult was priceless! I had no idea how to proceed and she charted a way with her transformational ideas on lighting, surface materials and paint. She understands the modern idiom, yet still listens closely to her clients, who may not. The result is extremely pleasing.

We really enjoyed working with Jennifer. We had recently moved into our home and needed to design/furnish several rooms. She took time to learn about our style goals and sourced a number of items for us. She was efficient and helpful and pushed our comfort zone just enough that the finished product across the board is timeless and complementary to our home. We are so appreciate we were able to work with Jennifer to make our house our home.

Jennifer redesigned our guest bedroom, under a tight deadline before guests were visiting. The room needed a complete update. She partnered with me to select bedding, curtains, an area rug, and accents- lamps, pictures, side table. We were able to use some of the existing furniture. She transformed the room making it welcoming and comfortable for our guests! I could never have done this without help. Prices were very reasonable. Jennifer also helped update our living room - an intermittent step until we do a fuller redesign. The items she selected for us were striking and pulled the room together. She selected a variety of items so we could choose what we liked. Jennifer is very personable, professional, talented, and a pleasure to work with! Thank you Jennifer!

Jen was an absolute God send to my new house project. I was so completely overwhelmed and her knowledge and expertise helped me with the big and small decisions I needed all along the way. From choosing the paint colors, to tile ideas for the bathroom and kitchen, to furniture layout and shopping. She made the process to work with her extremely easy, affordable and flexible and made herself available at the most critical moments. I will continue to use Jen with any updates and projects and highly recommend her.

We recently worked with Jennifer to do a color selection for all rooms in our new (to us) home. After talking to several other area professionals even speaking with Jennifer on the phone was a breath of fresh air. She is very down to earth and approachable. She knows her trade well and is contentious of the client's time, budget and overall goals. What I especially appreciate is that Jennifer feels passionately that ALL of us should have a home that we feel joyful and peace full in. Her prices, creativity and willingness to find products just about anywhere (not just high end, exclusive stores) reflect this passion of bringing a quality product to everyone (not just people who have millions to work with!). We are only getting started on this house and we will continue to return to Jennifer over and over as we are ready to take on the next room / project.

Jen has been a pleasure to work with. We recently moved into our new home and needed all new furniture for our living room, dining room and office. Jen's consultation and layouts were outstanding. She was a pleasure to shop with, and has strong (and excellent) opinions which make choosing furniture and fabrics so much easier. We will continue to work with Jen in the future and highly recommend her to others.

We spoke with a few design professionals before deciding to work with Jennifer. She had great reviews online and the communication back and forth was very natural and comfortable. Pleased to report that we're several projects in, and the experience has been exactly what we had hoped for. She has helped us design entire bathrooms, an accent wall, built-ins, and make hardware, flooring, paint, and furniture selections. Her style and design sense are on point, pricing fair, and customer service top-notch. We look forward to continuing to work with her in the coming months and years.

I am pleased to give Jennifer a 5 star review. As a designer she is skilled at listening to her clients while offering her expert opinion. I appreciate the fact that she helped to choose things for my home that reflect my personality. Jennifer is professional, talented and very easy to talk to, she was mindful of my budget, and showed me beautiful options. I plan to work with Jennifer in the future and encourage others to do the same. Working with Fresh Start Interiors was a pleasure!

I am very happy to recommend Jennifer on Houzz, because Houzz is how I found her! About 6 months ago, my husband and I started the exciting journey of getting a house built. The thought of a totally customized house was daunting enough. Combine that with 2 kids and full time jobs, we knew we needed help. I researched on Houzz for reviews, pictures and location and narrowed it down to 3 interior designers. After having initial conversations, we picked Jennifer and I am so glad we did! She spent many hours understanding our family, our taste in general, colors, our lifestyle and what we felt comfortable with. She says we are "Transitional", which still means very little to me but she is always right in knowing what we would like. Jennifer helped us all along from picking cabinets, hardware, tiles and countertops to paint and wood stain colors. She has great understanding of what things go together and look nice and remembers the tiniest of details to make sure everything in the house flows well. Jennifer has steered us away from many rookie design mistakes and is always detailed in explaining her choices, which makes it easy for less creative people like me. Over time, she has certainly influenced how we think about style and functionality. Our house is not completely done yet - we still have more to go. Jennifer is helping us furnish and decorate the house too and I am very impressed with her ability to keep up with every detail of our house when we shop for furniture. Jennifer takes pride in her work and is very focused on making the house a comfortable home for us. While I know we are not her only clients, she certainly makes us feel like we are. I am eagerly waiting for the house to be done and furnished to be able to post pictures of her awesome work. In short, if you are looking for a designer I would highly recommend hiring Jennifer!

I am happy to give Jennifer five stars. Working with her has actually made our home makeover a fun project rather than the nightmare of indecision I usually experience when making design choices all by myself. She has a good sense for our taste and all her suggestions have worked well with our style and existing furnishings. We've worked together on our kitchen facelift as well as removing wallpaper and painting all our downstairs rooms. Immediately after her first visit, she followed up promptly with a budget estimate worksheet and recommendations for contractors we could choose. She is very responsive to any requests and always calls back quickly. I couldn't be more pleased with how the kitchen has turned out. We have spent under $20,000 for new appliances, countertop, sink and faucet, tile backsplash, hardware, lighting and cabinet refinishing and it looks great! The colors she suggested for our walls in multiple rooms are lovely. And she has recommended excellent and affordable contractors and arranged for their initial visits so that the whole project has proceeded quickly and within our budget. I will definitely be working with Jennifer in the future and recommend her highly .

Jennifer Lozado and Fresh Start Interiors was a perfect fit for me and my husband. Jennifer has been an absolute great help from the early building stages of our new house, i.e. choosing materials for flooring, tiles and counter tops, to helping shape the overall aesthetic of each room. She assisted in hand picking fabrics for furniture as well as window treatments. She's very collaborative, making suggestions according to our style and yet allows us to be as bold or conservative as we are feeling on any particular day. She's got a great eye when it comes to design and color. We are moving from the West Coast, and so we're often away from the new location. Jennifer has been very generous in making sure to be present at the new house for deliveries, installations, and any other necessary meetings. If you're looking for friendly, professional, and prompt service to help design your space, we highly recommend Jennifer Lozado and Fresh Start Interiors.

It has been a delight to work with Jennifer on things I have wanted to do and felt I was too busy to do. Jennifer made it easy to select paint colors, light fixtures and everything else I have wanted to refresh. She is calm, patient and provides great customer service fitting into both my schedule and hers. She comes prepared to accomplish the day's tasks and provides the service people to get the work done. I am so sorry I put these projects off for as long as I did. I look forward to doing everything on my to do list with Jennifer. Jennifer makes it possible to do what you want to do in your home.

We were lucky to meet Jennifer in February of 2018 when we needed major help with our first floor renovation. She was able to connect us with a great cabinet person and that was just the beginning! She did a lot of project management for our kitchen with counter tops, appliances, and finishes including tile (4 different ones to choose), paint and stain colors, furniture and window treatments and even shopping for the right baskets for our new built-in cubbies in the mudroom. She has great relationships with tradesmen in the area which proved helpful in finishing certain elements of the design. She is organized, dependable, has a great sense of color, design and style and considered our budget in every decision. It has been so great to work with someone who is great at what they do and is so easy to communicate with. We credit her to saving our sanity!!

Jen was wonderful to work with! Based on her expert advice, my husband and I were able to take optimal advantage of limited space in our beach house kitchen. I especially appreciated how closely Jen listened to our opinions so that the final product really reflects our tastes and preferences. She was also very practical and continually kept our budget in mind.

I started working with Jennifer in February 2018. The initial scope was somewhat limited. However as Jennifer and I started working together I began to add areas I needed help with. Jennifer was fantastic! Her approach to each piece of the project was very organized and when I was completely scattered, having lost the thread, she reeled me back in! The quality that I really appreciate is her calm. If a vendor did not deliver as promised, Jennifer was on the case getting results. If I was overwhelmed with fabric choices she calmly started eliminating choices. Thank goodness I still have more projects to work with Jennifer on!

We are in the midst of a project with Jennifer and we could not be happier with her assistance. She is incredibly professional, responsive, and we love her taste and advice. She has gone above and beyond to make things easy for us and to move each aspect of the project forward. She takes ownership of ensuring that contractors get scheduled, show up, and do what they are asked on time. With regard to her approach to design, she brings a nice balance of providing advice and her own very tasteful style while also "listening" and investing her time to understand what the client likes. Overall, we have really enjoyed working with Jennifer and highly recommend her to anyone.

If you want to work with someone who is reliable with amazing follow through (and who doesn't?), make Jennifer your first choice for any interior projects you may have in your home. She is astonishingly well connected with the best recommendations and contacts as well as highly helpful with choosing colors and materials.

Jennifer is very knowledgeable and enjoyable to work with. We are currently in the process of renovating a family room and kitchen and we are pleased with Jennifer's help so far.

We hired Jennifer for help consulting on paint colors and in addition to that help she ended up saving us a lot of heartache when she was able to (nicely) point out that the backsplash we were about to install actually didn't entirely go with the countertops. She quickly sourced a few sample alternatives, which we loved, and we're now super happy with the end product! She was very responsive and helpful!

I used Jennifer to help me conceptualize a small to medium sized remodeling project at my home. Relative to the range of services she provides to her other clients, I think her involvement for me was smaller in scale -- some basic consultation on space planning and some decorating ideas. Nevertheless, Jennifer was flexible, super responsive, and attentive -- helping me achieve some important goals as I got started on my project. In addition to providing me with several different possible floor plans for my new space, she collaborated with me on an online vision board -- a process which I found immensely helpful in focusing my efforts and my budget in the right places and on the right items/materials. A number of items I purchased for my new space were the direct result of Jennifer's sourcing -- things I surely would not have found on my own. In all, it was very helpful for me to have someone to bounce ideas off of -- providing just the right amount of hand-holding while still encouraging me to keep to my own personal vision and goals for the project.

I used Jennifer's services while I was doing a large home renovation this year (kitchen, master, bathrooms). Her approach is flexible and personal. She took the time to get to know me, my home, the style and budget. Then when needed, she jumped in and helped me in areas where I needed her such as choosing among the thousands of tile options, paint colors, fixtures, etc. All of this kept me sane and it was so comforting knowing that I had an expert eye ensuring the overall finished product would be cohesive and tasteful. She has many relationships and contacts with vendors which is so valuable. When life got busy for me and I needed more, she completely managed the processes of wallpapering and window treatment ordering/installation for me. She was the ideal designer for me to work with, offering flexible, personalized service that worked for me. And on top of it all she is a pleasure to work with!

Jennifer was invaluable in helping us through a total kitchen renovation. Her skill set is quite versatile - from design and decorating to project management and problem solving. As a busy working professional, I was looking for someone who could help move the renovation project along and streamline our decor decision making processes and she exceeded my expectations. We love our new kitchen - thank you Jennifer.

Jennifer designed our living room and the outcome far exceeded my expectations. She provided several options for each element of the living room after getting a sense of our taste. She was incredibly easy to work with and her design ideas were a perfect fit for us. After quickly honing in on our stylistic preferences through a shared Pinterest board, Jennifer found several ideal choices for each aspect of the design. I also appreciated that we could move at our own pace. At times I was eager to get certain items selected and ordered and Jennifer was extremely responsive. At other times, we had too much going on so I put the living room design on hold for a few weeks. In addition to providing in-depth recommendations on furniture, layout and other design accents, Jennifer also provided invaluable, unique input on interesting elements such as the hue of our lighting and the height of paintings, bookcases and curtain rods. I had never hired a designer before and was nervous about the price and process. I worried mostly I'd be forced or heavily persuaded into purchasing things I didn't really love. But, our experience with Jennifer couldn't have digressed more from my fears. I absolutely love the furniture, accents and rug we've purchased - and better yet, the overall design and impression is exactly what I wanted. I also found Jennifer's pricing structure extremely reasonable and we were always in complete control of how much we spent. Now, I'm always thrilled to have people walk into our house with a cozy, inviting and classy living room that although professionally designed, exudes my own personal taste. I'm also confident that I could never have pulled this together myself! When we are ready to design another room in our house, Jennifer will be at the helm of that project as well!

Jennifer helped us with a very challenging home renovation last spring. Honestly, we would have been lost without Jennifer--it was a big job. Her advice was always spot-on and she was very respectful of our goals and parameters for our project. She is detail-oriented with terrific grasp of aesthetics and design. Jennifer went out of her way to make things work-able for us. She met us at design stores, set up a pinterest account for us, kept track of endless orders and changes, and interacted with our vendors. Jennifer is a total professional all the time--she's trustworthy, reliable, and fun. I give her my highest recommendation and would absolutely hire her again.

I have known and worked with Jen for over 10 years. Jen is an asset to anyone buying or renovating a home. She is practical, responsive and patient with her clients. I work with many designers, and Jen has a refreshing and creative approach to all her projects. Jen has a unique style and her work compliments the room and enhances the space. I highly recommend Jen and look forward to future projects!

Jennifer and I worked together on a major kitchen renovation and other smaller projects around the house. Jennifer is a very approachable design consultant whose care for her client’s concerns was apparent from the outset. I never once felt that Jennifer was pushing her design onto me. We went through the process together. I always felt like she gave me some excellent choices that hit the mark from a design standpoint AND fit within our budget. While I knew Jennifer’s eye for design was a given, what I loved most about working with her is her customer focus and her practical and approachable style. Jennifer also has a proven track record of working with some of the best contractors and vendors in the area. That was immediately apparent to me once we started to engage vendors on the quoting and bidding process. Once we selected our contractor, Jennifer did not bail on the project after the initial design. Her commitment to partner with me and all our vendors throughout the process really stood out. Her communication, dedication and focus to get the job done on time, on budget and within our design concept was outstanding. I will work with her again in a heartbeat.

I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find anyone to take on small job. Jennifer had great reviews and seemed to be a good fit. She responded promptly after I contacted her, and was helpful in walking me through the process (this was my first time working with a designer). She was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. I would definitely contact her again in the future!

We have had the pleasure of working with Fresh Start Interiors over the past year on a few of our new construction projects. Jennifer was brought on to help with some key selections, and her lovely taste absolutely helped the homes shine. From elegant tile selections to paint colors throughout that make the house feel like a home, Jennifer really ties everything together beautifully. Jennifer is professional, responsive and a true pleasure to work with. If you are considering working with Fresh Start Interiors, you will not be disappointed!

Working with Jennifer has been amazing! We recently relocated to the east coast and I was feeling completely overwhelmed with the decorating process for our new living space. Jennifer worked with me to shop for and pick out the new furniture, lighting, paint colors and accent pieces all on my very tight budget. She listened carefully to my design preferences and pulled together pictures and links to resources that were perfect for our room and our budget. Her emails and links were often the push that I needed to get the project done. I loved her honesty and professionalism when I would pick out items without being sure if it would work with the rest of the room. It was truly like working with your best friend. The result is a beautiful, elegant, yet comfortable space for our family to gather. I could not be more pleased!

We hired Jennifer Lozada of Fresh Start interiors to guide us through the multitude of design decisions that go along with a home renovation project. In our case we were putting in a new kitchen including taking down a wall between kitchen and dining room, replacing flooring, lighting, finishes, doors and windows as well as finishing a basement room and renovating the mudroom. As a very busy real estate broker, I am exposed to the very best in home finishes so I needed to work with someone who would be able to make great decisions in terms of style, streamline the choices and keep us on budget. Most importantly I needed a person who could simplify the process and put together a comprehensive design that would work for our family. Jennifer was all of that and so much more. She has amazing sense of style, space, color and overall design. She is an incredibly skilled designer but also wonderfully organized and always 3 steps ahead so that each choice harmonizes with the last. Jennifer made our choices easy and worked tirelessly to find just what we needed whether it be just the right tile for a back splash, shades for our windows, the perfect furnishings or baskets for our mud room. She worked well with our contractor and all of his subs. Bringing Jennifer onto the job was the best choice we made. It really made all the difference in creating our beautiful home.

Jennifer did a great job in helping me to make my living room more comfortable and enjoyable to spend time in. Because I am renting and did not want to invest a lot at this time, she was very cost-conscious of my budget. At a very affordable cost, she was able to transform my room into one that I am much more excited to entertain in, as well as more relaxing to live-in. I would highly recommend her services.

Fresh Start Interiors helped me select all the finishing products to my newly renovated bathroom. From selection of the tile, paint colors, granite, and vanity, down to the blinds and artwork. All these selections were reflective of my modern taste, though it was Fresh Start Interiors that helped bring that out. We couldn't be happier with this bathroom as its beautiful, functional room that was done on a budget.

Our dutch colonial home was very charming when we bought it but all the walls were white - lacking personality - and the kitchen needed some updating. Jennifer helped us with a cohesive color palette for all the rooms which brought life to them and the colors worked beautifully with our existing furniture. As for the kitchen, big changes weren't in our budget but the oak cabinets felt dated. Jennifer suggested ways to get the most bang for our buck with paint and limited purchases. We painted walls a soft green, painted the cabinets white, changed hardware and hinges, splurged on new granite countertops and appliances, and a new light fixture. The results were very dramatic and we love the results. We couldn't have done it without Jennifer's guidance!

Jennifer has a great eye and was easy to work with on my busy schedule. Because of this I've actually hired her to help me get settled after three different moves. She helped me place my furniture and decide what pieces I needed to buy, sell or put in storage given the new spaces. I've used her to hang artwork, decoratively organize my bookcases, and order custom window shades. We've also gone furniture shopping together and outfitted a guest room with new bedding. Jennifer has even done online shopping for me - providing me with choices that I could then order on my own. One of these online suggestions was a chandelier that turned out to be perfect for my needs and nearly identical to a very expensive one I had admired at in a design studio. I definitely recommend her if you need help with design details - especially if you're overwhelmed when trying to unpack and organize a new home.
