I have had the great pleasure of knowing Jeannine Kern personally for many years and have seen the great care and attention to detail with which she approaches every design project she takes on. In my professional life, having worked with many designers, I must say that Jeannine stands out in her ability to not only create a vision for her customers...but to EXECUTE that vision with meticulous care in every regard. Most recently, I partnered with Jeannine on a very extensive bathroom remodel for one of her clients. Even my Production Manager here at Simple Bath remarked: I wish every designer would be as detailed as Jeannine in terms of her planning and communications with us! Working with Jeannine on the design made our part of the production and install process go so much more smoothly - and in the end, as is always MOST important, the client was the benefit of all Jeannine's creative talent and ability to deliver on her designs. Always a pleasure to work with J Kern Design!

I have worked with Jeannine Kern owner of J Kern Design on several occasions and have found her to be delightful to work with. She was very organized and when she came in to our showroom she already had a clear vision of what she wanted for her client. Jeannine is definitely not pushy which the client seemed to really appreciate, she was helpful without being overbearing. A couple of times the customer was not sure about which fabric and how it should be applied Jeannine made a few suggestions and the problem was solved. We even ran into a snag with part of the order not looking just right. Jeannine was patient and handled it like the professional she is by giving us the chance to make it right.
I would definitely recommend Jeanine to anyone who needs help with their home furnishings and décor.

J Kern Designs is a company whom I've had the pleasure to work with in the area of design planning, collaboration and room set up. They are very detail oriented and on trend with creative solutions and ideas for any type of space. If you are looking for someone to design or manage your interior design project, I highly recommend them. They are very thorough and have excellent design sense!

J Kern Design was instrumental in designing three store locations for my business. We sat down and discussed theme, colors, budget, and what I wanted our customers to experience when they walked into my business. Jeannine was patient with my concerns. She got right to work, offering sketches to scale, right down to covering odd cosmetic flaws in each building. In my case, I needed to design on a dime, and every square inch had to count for product display. She took great care in helping me find affordable furniture pieces, was very honest about what would and wouldn't work, and was flexible with my demands. She continued to assist in seasonal decorating for my business. The responses from our customers confirmed what I knew. Jeannine delivered the cozy, inviting charm I wanted for my customers.
I trust J Kern Design and would not open another retail space without her consult.

Jeannine is an extremely focused decorator and works diligently to "get it just right" in order to please her clients.
I have worked with Jeannine on many projects, and they have all been completed to the delight of our clients. Jeannine has a very good eye for using multiple fabrics/patterns/textures/trims to accomplish an excellent end result.

I have used J Kern Design for many decorating projects. She always tries to get me to form a clear picture for her of how I envision the space to be used and how it will look. She has a great eye for a bargain and has always stayed within my budget. I get many complements from visitors to my home. Our latest project is my master bath.

I wanted to update my kitchen with more granite and tile work and to also turn a sunroom, which was attached to our master bedroom, into a closet. interviewed several construction companies, but was most impressed with the work done by J Kern Design as well as the very personal touch from the owner, Jeannine Kerns.
I explained to her what I had envisioned but was not sure if it would work. Jeannine made some suggestions, drew up a plan and I could not wait for the work to begin. She gave me a time frame and stuck with it. She organized everything from material purchases to managing the subcontractors.
Highly organized, excellent communication every step of the way, and we could not be more pleased with our closet and kitchen.

Commented: How wide is the window seat from wall to wall?This was several years ago, however I do believe that the window seat was 8 foot long and we used 2-4' cushions. Hope this helps!

Commented: cleaningI have found that if you use a squeegee or micro fiber cloth on the tile immediately after you shower to remove excess water, it stays quite clean. I do recommend cleaning the tile weekly with mild so...
