Jill Durst Interiors

This was my first time working with an interior designer and I primarily worked with Jill Durst. Jill and I worked very well together over a year's time. I felt that she was attentive to my personality, style, preferences and not attached if there was something she had recommended or selected that didn't work for me. I also really valued her flexibility in allowing me to work very closely with her on every detail for some parts of the work and for others giving her total and complete discretion on the selection/decision-making. I experienced her as professional, incredibly creative and available for whatever came up in the process. Additionally, my limited encounters with the rest of her team was pleasant, professional, and kind. As I now can enjoy the fruits of our labor together, I deeply feel that the selections, colors, and overall feel of my home is truly me but with much more polish, beauty and esthetic. Jill is incredibly experienced, connected and able to understand and get what a client is looking for. She is also budget conscious. I never thought I would enjoy engaging with fabrics, colors, themes and layout as much as I do now do after working with Jill. She made the process enjoyable, and was welcoming of my input. She is a talented artist and my home is now truly my home because of her expertise and ability to bring the artist in me to the table.

I met Jill 15 years ago and the quality of her work and her professionalism has kept me as her client to this date. She has an eye for detail and knowledge of the interior decorating world that has kept me happy with her suggestions from the first time I started working with her. Her positive and charming personality add to her professionalism. I think their costs are reasonable and she meets the deadlines which are crucial to me in selecting an interior designer.

I worked with Jill on a family room remodel this past Fall. I was so pleased with the results that I broadened the scope of the engagement to include a full kitchen remodel! Jill is a great listener. She is able to consistently discern the overall look and feel I am trying to achieve and bring it to life. She is prompt, and always follows through on commitments. I wholeheartedly recommend Jill and Culbertson Durst Interiors!

Jill and I have worked together for over 15 years on various projects. She is professional, talented and become a good friend! I originally hired Jill Durst when we wanted to remodel the major living spaces of our house - kitchen, family room, living room and dining room. The rooms were completely gutted and all 4 rooms were not only redesigned, but all were put into new spaces to allow for better flow and functionality. Jill is great to work with always. She made things very easy for me and took on much of the burden of decision-making as I travel for work frequently. Additionally, she worked really well with the general contractor too!! Her talent is incredible and we are so happy with the results. We are currently using her again for a remodel of two bathrooms.

Imagine Jill's dilemma: to integrate two very opinionated people's opposite design ideas to make a warm and inviting home! I felt I should give her a referee's jersey during our first meeting, but as our design process proceeded and her understanding of our tastes and needs solidified, she developed a unique and personal look for us. Jill took the time to meet with us individually and together, so that she really heard each of us. We LOVE our new furniture and the dramatic yet tasteful first look when friends come into our entry way. Not many people really use their living rooms, but we do every day, because it is such a beautiful space. Her plans saved us an immense amount of time. She put together fabrics and design ideas ahead of time, gave us options, and kept us focused. We did not have an unlimited budget, yet Jill found us very high quality furnishings anyway. When I described a plaster wall finish I had seen in a restaurant, she knew exactly what I wanted and knew an artist who could create it. Our powder room now boasts this bronzed look, and is certainly a conversation opener. I never thought I needed an interior designer, but after working with an expert who is creative, thoughtful, and fun, there are not enough stars to select for Jill Durst.

Culbertson Durst has done an amazing job with our house - they came into our remodel mid-project, and we need help with some basic fundamental ideas of how to approach some aspects. Jill immediately stepped in, provided clear leadership for the project, worked with us to get our vision, and then supplied her ideas for colors, designs, materials, surfaces, furniture - everything needed to make the project work. The results have been amazing, "out of the box", and we've been very happy with the changes - much better than we'd originally imagined.

I have worked closely with Jill Durst for over 3 years but have had a number of dealings with Jeff and their staff. I find them all a pleasure to work with. Jill, specifically guided us through the transformation of our very dated home to a beautiful showplace. This is evident in the numerous remarks we receive from people who see our home for the first time. "Wow, your home is beautiful!! So well put together!" Jill's creative experience with color, fabrics and space design, as well as, the ability to work within a budget has awarded us the home we our proud of. We have recommended Culbertson Durst to others and have had the pleasure of seeing Jill transform other rooms. She has proven herself to be able to crossover the various styles (traditional, transitional, contemporary and modern) seamlessly. Culbertson Durst gets an A+ in my book.
