In the Deets

I wanted to do a renovation for our guest bathroom but was stuck trying to decide on finishes. I wanted it to be funky and eclectic, but also having some classic touches. Gita helped me with the perfect design that kept all my wishes in mind. The best thing she did was help me find a gorgeous vanity through Houzz. She made it feel more like me by choosing brass faucet hardware that was fun, yet classic. I am so happy with the final outcome and all of our friends and family are loving it too!

I just finished a kitchen remodel and Gita was amazing! Gita is super knowledgeable, has great taste, and is really easy to work with. I appreciated Gita’s direction and all of her help with design decisions. Gita is great at communicating and has a great eye. I highly recommend Gita!

Gita is an amazing designer and has such a creative vision. She can listen, look and feel what you are thinking, put it on paper, make adjustments QUICKLY and PATIENTLY with accurate and precise drawings then when you change your mind 10 times and come back all the way to the original plans, she will work it all out expertly. Gita uses her vision and expertise to make suggestions and pick out the items that will work around your ideas and existing infrastructure to come up with a beautiful result! No job is too large or small!

Gita worked on a bathroom renovation for us that is just complete (March 2021). Project involved removing a wall and reconfiguring whole bathroom including moving plumbing. I cannot recommend her enough. Gita has an amazing design sensibility...is able to discern your specific design taste and design to that style faithfully. She is a wonderful space planner, eking out the maximum utility from a space. She is a pleasure to work with...easy going, calm in the midst of any stress, incredibly organized and methodical in getting things set up for a smooth experience. She was always available and able to answer my questions and any questions our contractor had. Smooth experience, start to finish. I have always done projects myself, so this was my first experience using an interior designer and, I must say, not sure I can go back. I love the bathroom...it is perfect for my daughters' needs and I am just thrilled with how elegant it looks and how well it functions.

I reached out to Gita about remodeling my new home. The project scope was large and included 2 bathrooms, one powder room, one addition, removing an existing wall and kitchen makeover. She quickly created a preliminary layout plan including several different options that would work well. I was impressed by the professionalism and effectiveness in communication. I went with a design build firm because of timing issue. I did not know COVID was going to impact the timeline of my project after that. If I knew, I would work with her without a doubt. I sincerely recommend her to anyone who needs a great designer for their home.

Title: Wonder Designer My husband and I worked with Gita on our cottage remodel. We thought we could figure out what we wanted over a year after his mom passed away, after having lived there for over 16 years, and found ourselves distraught as to what to do. With Gita's professional, prompt, comprehensive guidance every solution opened up to us. She made decision making easy with sharing of her knowledge. We met for an hour and in 2 days she had plans drawn up for us that were perfect and expressed our every need. Because we planned to move into the cottage ourselves, she helped us make our dream home. She helped with every decision, paint colors, cabinets and pulls, tile, vanities, flooring, area rugs, furniture arrangement, outdoor furniture arrangement, everything we needed, she was there for us. We love our new home so much and are so grateful to her for all her help. Gita is the BEST and I can highly recommend her for even the simplest of home design challenges. She is worth her weight in gold. Thanks Gita for helping us live every day so happily in our new dream home. I cannot wait for our next project together. Truly Yours, Paula Roemer DDS

Gita was a calming, reassuring presence during our whole-house remodel. She worked closely with us, with our contractors, with the vendors we purchased materials from, and with sub-contractors. She was the link between us (who knew nothing about remodels) and the professionals. She helped with scheduling to make sure all the details were ordered in time for them to be installed (contractors never told us when we needed tile, or sinks, or what-have-you, but Gita helped us stay on top of things). Our biggest regret was not including her earlier in the process. Gita helped us pick all the details for the remodel (tile, counter-tops, paint colors, window trim, etc.). She identified items we could be thrifty with and where it would help a room "pop" by picking out something nicer. She listened to our design wishes and proposed a few options for us to select. She was fantastic at trouble-shooting when there were hiccups or when we changed our minds over-and-over on colors. Gita is easy to work with, listens to her clients wishes, and can also give a strong opinion when the client seeks one (which we needed).

Can’t recommend Gita enough! I really needed some direction on choosing materials for our bathroom remodel and figuring out what looked good together. She was amazing at taking my vision and knowing exactly what options to give me! She made the whole process so easy and seamless and was a joy to work with.

I really enjoyed working with Gita. She gave me exactly the amount of help I needed and kept everything on track. She understood my style and really helped me pick out things that I wouldn't have found on my own but that I love!

We hired Gita to help with a complete interior remodel of our home, and it was probably one of the best decisions that we made in this whole process. Our home hadn't been updated since the 1990s and we wanted a more open floor plan with better use of our space and in a modern style. Gita was able to design layouts that accomplished everything we wanted with a radical re-thinking of our kitchen/dining area and master bathroom. Gita was also crucial in picking out finishes -- she has terrific suppliers and, keeping the modern look that I wanted in mind, she helped steer me toward quality materials and fixtures that would go together well in a cohesive way. Through all the stages of planning and building, Gita communicated and worked well with my architect and contractor. She is super organized and detail oriented, and she helped keep our project on track and on time. Gita was a terrific and patient resource, and without her, I doubt our home remodel would have gone as smoothly as it did. The end result is fantastic and we couldn't be happier!

Gita did an excellent job helping bring our vision to life! We hired her to finalize the design of our entire home remodel. We had the architectural plans and she helped design the layout details (ie: bathrooms, island size, appliance locations) and was key in selecting materials. We had a clear vision of what we wanted and she was a terrific resource for finding the materials. Our contractor praised her professionalism and prompt responses to all inquiries. We would highly recommend her to manage any construction project, big or small.

Hiring Gita was the single best decision we made on this remodel. She made the process of design and execution so easy it was kind of ridiculous. Her expertise, design eye, and ability to bring our vision to reality was amazing. We were project rookies and will definitely work with Gita on our next remodel.

We have loved working with Gita through the entire process of our lengthy remodel of most of our condo. From initial kitchen layout to flooring, color scheme, furniture, and small details like pillows and sheets, she has been absolutely central to this project and we quickly came to trust her decisions above our own! She has listened to our ideas and used those to develop a design that is integrated and lovely; exactly what we were looking for. She has also helped coordinate with contractor and suppliers. It is clear we could not have done this without her and we are so happy we found her!

Gita helped us remodel our guest bathroom earlier this year. She is a pleasure to work with and was extremely collaborative and helpful throughout the process. In addition to being very available and responsive, she has great design aesthetic and calibrated to our taste quickly.

I have had the pleasure of collaborating on numerous projects with Gita throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. The projects have ranged from small remodels to entire home renovations. Gita's attention to detail, industry experience, customer service, and overall excellent design aesthetics is evident throughout each project and keeps her in high demand.

Gita helped me with a redesign of my living room and selection of new wood flooring and carpet used throughout my house. She came up with a wonderful design solution to address how to handle the unusual shape of the room and off center fireplace. She provided options for furniture pieces, artwork, mirrors, lamps at different price points. She responded to my emails quickly. She has a great network of vendors and tradespeople who were also a pleasure to work with.

I worked with Gita on a living room and dining room interior design project and she was nothing less than amazing. From start to finish she was thorough, attentive and responsive. She has impeccable taste and we are thrilled with the results! Best decision we’ve made and will absolutely be a repeat client.

I hired Gita, from In the Deets, to help with an interior remodel/redesign of my kitchen, living room and dining room. Gita was an amazing asset throughout the entire process...she is creative yet practical, detail-oriented, and a great listener. Additionally she is extremely efficient and very responsive to phone/emails. Hiring her was one of the best decisions I made!

I connected with Gita last spring (2017) after I saw excellent reviews of her on Houzz. We wanted to completely change out the entire first floor of our home, including kitchen, full bathroom, family & formal living rooms and a guest bedroom. The first time I met her, she presented herself as a very crisp designer and I could tell her focus was on details, time and budget. We went forward and Gita has been a huge spearhead in the remodel which has turned out excellent! She stayed on track, went through a detailed design process to suit our tastes, helped with ordering all the materials (tiles, countertops, wood, fittings, lights etc..everything!), shortlist and get bids form contractors, whet them out and project manage everything to the minutest of detail. We wanted to build a custom area in the family room and she understood our taste and presented options to suit those needs. The ideation of the project started in June 2017 and we are now entirely complete! All of this while we were expecting a second child and dealing with a toddler at the same time.. she was very accommodative and made sure the project stayed on track through completion. She also helped us furnish the place once it was all done! If we were to remodel in the future, there is no doubt she would be our first call :) I've had fun going shopping with her for the project :) Thank you Gita, for the attention to detail and your dedication, its given our family a wonderful new space that fits our needs perfectly!

Gita at In the Deets has been a great partner for us on kitchen, bath and full home remodels. She puts a lot of effort into designing and selecting all finishes and materials before construction begins so that we can come in and easily execute the remodel. Her design style varies based on the home and client's style. She is focused on quality and meeting budget as well as coming up with clever ways to solve problems. She is always available for meetings and quickly gets back to us on any questions we have. We highly recommend using In the Deets for any remodeling project.

We worked with Gita last spring to totally remodel a hopelessly outdated master bathroom. Gita took the time to listen to our ideas, asked questions about the rest of the house and suggested clever ideas on the fly. We already had a pretty good vision of what the bathroom should look like and Gita stayed true to that vision and helped us think through different choices until we landed on what worked best for the large, but slightly awkward space. The result is beautiful and we love our bathroom.

Gita (In the Deets) was great to work with, and we love the end result. She worked with me and my young daughter to design a room that will suit her from tween to teen. The room is a perfect balance of cozy, relaxing, fun, and even a bit sophisticated. She included my daughter in the process, incorporating her style preferences and choices, while also addressing our practical considerations (i.e. budget, spacing, storage). Gita also suggested enhancements that I wouldn't have considered, had I attempted to update the room on my own. And to bring it all together, she found contractors to assist with all the labor and helped set everything up.

We have had the privilege of working with In the Deets for our whole-house remodel, and we can't imagine how we could have gotten to where we are without Gita! We engaged her early in the process to review our house blueprints before they were finalized. She understood our needs as a busy family with two young kids, and very quickly proposed changes to the plan that significantly improved the layout, flow, and use of our home. In addition to her amazing sense for design and attention to detail, she is also very skilled at helping overwhelmed and indecisive clients (like us) to make the right selections and prioritize where needed. She has helped make our renovation journey an enjoyable one, and we would highly recommend her to others!

Gita recently helped redesign my kitchen and living room. Having little experience with a major remodel, I needed some hand holding throughout the process to help take the vision in my head to a usable space. She helped design the space from wall removal, to design elements to shopping for both materials and a contractor. When there were immovable challenges, she helped find a way to make them a focal point. The result has been better than I could have imagined. I have an opened up floor plan with a light and bright kitchen and a warm and inviting living space. There is no way I could have navigated this on my own. Gita has been there every step of the way and her eye for the details has been invaluable in catching things I would not have thought about, but that make a huge difference in usability and enjoyment of the space. Looking forward to more projects together.

We had a remodel of our kitchen, dining room and front porch. We were very happy with Gita and the design layouts. She listened to us and provided great ideas that worked with our style. She was a fantastic resource for transition of existing style to a contemporary. We are very happy with the paint selections and tile. Her response time was quick, she was very professional, and work quality was outstanding.

Gita designed my master bedroom bathroom and closet. It was a project from hell. Gita was kind with her support throughout the whole job. Professional, responsive always reachable. And finally the project is completed and after all we went through it came out beautiful. She is an amazing , a hard working designer with her kindness, patience and honesty. We are still working together to complete the rest of our home. Thank u Gita

Gita helped me rework the furniture and layout in my living room and dining room. She listened to what we wanted and provided great options in an easy to review form. I really loved seeing the floor plans that matched the couch choices. Gita also provided solutions to various window treatment issues we had.

I have had the opportunity to work with Gita on various design and remodel projects over the past two years. It has been a pleasure to work with Gita, as she is professional and a master at her craft! I have developed a great working relationship preparing construction drawings for various projects. I highly recommend Gita as an interior designer. She is very in tune to the clients wishes and desires and she also keeps the budget of the project scope within the parameters of the design concept. I look forward to working with "In The Deets" in the future!

Gita helped me with the interior design of two residences: a permanent residence that goes for a high-end look; a temporary residence that has a modest budget. She did great work for both projects. What I like the most is her ability to pull everything together in a way that is coordinated but not matchy. Gita is super responsive - we got a lot of work done via emails which was very helpful due to my busy work schedule. I would recommend Gita to anyone who needs design services.

Gita helped us completely design our girls' bedrooms (2 and 4 years old), and add some finishing touches to our living room. We have loved working with her - she is thoughtful and flexible, and offered us inspirational and different opinions in an engaged and helpful way. For example, our 4 year old wanted a super princessy room, and she helped us to achieve that but in a way that would last beyond this phase. And the end results are extraordinary - they capture our girls' personalities and desires perfectly. We posted photos of the finished product on Facebook and one of our friends described it best: "THAT is cool. The wondrous imagination of children, encapsulated in inspiring design. Brilliant!"

Our project start date is May 2017 and Gita has been with us (my husband and me) since the beginning of our desire to remodel our home. Our major remodel will be the kitchen and living/dining room, but we are essentially touching the entire home with updates. Gita has guided us from our initial planning; she developed layouts of the project; recommended a great architect that she had experience working with on other projects; shopped with us to select finishes for our remodel and paint colors; guided us in selecting the right contractor for our project. She is organized, on time, knowledgeable, and committed to us as clients. We could not have chosen a better designer for our remodel!

I had a wonderful experience working with Gita. I had never worked with an interior designer before, but I knew that I needed a professional like Gita since I do not have many interior design skills myself. I really appreciated how Gita listened to what I wanted and was very willing to work within my budget. I have a medium-to-large-sized living room which was constantly covered in toys from my two toddlers. She helped redesign the space so there's a neat and tidy grown-up area and an out-of-sight area where the kids can play. I am so happy to come home to my new living room!

As general contractors performing high end remodels and very custom work for clients through out the San Francisco Bay area we often have the opportunity to work with designers. We have learned over many years of working with different designers that one needs to have excellent listening skill, a professional attitude and impeccable taste to be truly successful in the S.F. Bay area. Gita with "In the Deets" is, in our opinion the best we have had the opportunity to work with. She would most certainly be the one I would chose to help me with my home.

I found Gita during my remodel. She came to my house and asked a few questions about the fireplace tile that I was hating. She quickly figured out why I did not like it and the type of tile I would like. She then helped me pick out a tile that I love, and has transformed the whole space into one I am finally happy with. She also designed alternative layouts on how to arrange furniture, suggested some pieces and colors, and is very flexible on how much of her involvement I want to engage going forward. She is extremely prompt in responding, very organized and professional, yet very personable. I especially like that she shares her thoughts on one style or piece of furniture vs another. My only regret is that I did not find Gita sooner. I think my whole remodel would have been so much less stressful and more fun. I highly recommend her.

My wife and I hired Gita for a project involving the remodeling of two bathrooms. Since we had previously used her services for a major kitchen overhaul, which turned out beautifully, it really was a no-brainer to hire her again. She came up with some great options for our bathrooms, and her ability to find items which not only are quality items, but also fit into a greater design/decoration scheme, is simply superb. Whenever we had questions, she had answers. She's incredibly organized, detailed and just a pleasure to work with. If I could give her six stars instead of five, I would.

Gita helped me turn my deck from a useless space into a comfortable and lovely area for outdoor dining and relaxing. She listened to my style preferences and just nailed it with all of her suggestions. I'm looking forward to our next project together!

I shopped around and contacted several other companies before starting my project -- the overall consensus was that my project was too small to even be considered and that I should only contact them again if I were to be spending over $100k. That is if they responded at all. Gita took my project was prompt and courteous; despite being a smallish job I didn't feel like I was just another client. I had plenty of face time and felt like together we were able to put our ideas on paper and have them executed as designed. I've got some more ideas to work on in my house and when I'm ready I wouldn't hesitate to contact her again.

Gita is the best! I needed an interior designer to help me with a room I could not figure out how to make livable. Withing minutes of walking through the space, she suggested we make a key change to the room's focal point that transformed the room from barely used, toddler drop zone to a sophisticated living space we use every day. Gita also selected a palette for all interior paints, and she nailed it on the first try. As a busy working professional, I valued her reliability, follow up and overall business etiquette to keep the project on time and on budget. We have lived in the house for over 3 years, and now I can finally say I love my home. Thank you Gita!

I was fortunate to have worked with Gita on a very challenging master suite remodel for a mutual client. Her vision and amazing use of the space totally transformed the ordinary master bedroom into an open design that was luxurious and very functional. It was a pleasure working with Gita and I look forward to our next project.

We have lived in our home for almost five years and it just didn't feel like ours yet. I called Gita to help figure out the best layout for our furniture (our home has an awkward layout) and to help design a bar space. We could not be happier with the finished project. She gave us a great template of what we needed and helped find some great pieces. I will definitely be using Gita for other areas of our home!

Gita was so professional. We wanted to update our home. We love the structure/layout but everything was outdated (i.e. paint, fixtures, etc...). We also wanted to convert the living room to a functional playroom. After Gita came she measured everything and showed us sample colors. After we described everything we wanted she designed three different plans for us to choose from along with where to purchase all the items. We are almost done with the changes but we are taking our time and paying for one thing at a time. We repainted everything, purchased furniture, purchased the fixtures and now redoing our shades. We plan to be done within six months so maybe the entire project took us a year to do. Gita also was really quick to respond to texts and emails. It was easy to work with her and would be happy to do so again!

Gita came to our association and looked at our clubhouse as we wanted to update it. She suggested we repaint and change our old lighting to new LED track lighting. Gita developed three color schemes in CAD and presented them at a Board meeting. She also handed out color palettes to the members as well as a voting sheet so we could make a choice at the meeting. Gita is easy to work with and did a great job for us. We will ask for her help again as we continue our remodeling.

We hired In the Deets for an extensive house remodel and are very happy with the final result. Gita worked with us to develop a cohesive, contemporary design that meets both mine and my husband's goals. She definitely had her own opinions and shared them, but was always willing to work within our design parameters. So, we felt like we were getting the benefit of her expertise, but never felt strong-armed into choosing finishes that we didn't like. She also did a lot of leg work for us, so shopping was quick and painless. She pre-selected options and showed us only items that were within our design parameters and budget. She was very detail oriented and kept the project moving, coordinating with our architect and potential builders to make sure building estimates were accurate in reflecting the options we chose. Overall, super happy with our decision to work with In the Deets (the first designer I've ever worked with). The project is not complete yet, but I will post photos once we are finished.

I recently moved into a two bedroom apartment that was a completely different style than my previous one. I was having so much trouble making my furniture work in the space. I hired Gita and she completely made my furniture feel like it belonged there. She made the space functional and she even helped me decorate using things I already had. I did not have to buy anything new, although she did make some suggestions for the future that will help me grow into the space. I am so happy and now my apartment feels like home. I highly recommend her!

We found Gita here on Houzz and so thankful we did because of her unmatched skill in modernizing my old Victorian home in Alameda, CA. We could tell from her website that she has a great range of scope from the other projects here in the Bay Area, so we brought her out for an initial consultation and my wife and I loved her vision for the new layout. Room design was challenging, but Gita incorporated a lot of the original architecture in her contemporary redesign of our master bedroom, living room, & kitchen. Would definitely recommend her for any project after the wonderful job she did on our home.

Gita is very professional! I love working with her. Her design is modern, sleek and clean looking. Hire her.. you will not be disappointed.!

Gita is absolutely amazing! We had a wonderful time working with her. She made the entire process so much less daunting than it could have been, and we're so happy with how our place turned out. Gita was always looking for the best deals for us and so open to our feedback when there were things we wanted to do differently. She has great taste and managed to take two novices through the process expertly. She always had a smile on her face and was so positive to work with. She was so on top of everything, incredibly organized, and very responsive. We're already hoping and planning to use Gita for any and all of our future decorating and designing needs.

Gita, at In the Details, designed my one-bedroom condo. I showed her a few images of rooms I really liked and she was able use them as inspiration to transform my condo into a modern, fun and inviting space that feels like home. Everyone who comes over always remarks how amazing everything looks together. I couldn't have created my perfect condo without all of her help. She made the process super easy for me and she handled all of the work. I highly recommend her service to anyone who is looking for interior design help.

Gita, at In the Details, was fantastic to work with! She was able to quickly provide a few photo mock ups of viable exterior painting options for us and had the research to prove what colors sell best. We couldn't be happier with our dramatic before & after photos!

My husband and I initially hired Gita Jacobson from “in the details” for complete renovations of the kitchen Gita is a great communicator, listens to client’s needs, is responsive and manages projects with great efficiency. She is extremely creative and was an absolute joy to work with her. Gita’s guidance brought a new ideas to my color/materials preferences and gave me confidence to break out of the expected. Her creative solutions turned problems into unique finishing touches: for example, using two different type of tiles for back-splash and chasing the correct counter top. During the renovation, she came by the house when we needed her advice and she was on time we met to look at materials off site. Gita was professional but also a source of creative details of our kitchen.
