JA Design

Judi is very professional and thorough. She has years of experience and a great sense of design. She can pull various colors and accent pieces together to give you the desired look. She has access to quality suppliers and contractors. Best of all, she is well organized and can make sure your project goes smoothly!

I spent years thinking about how to reconfigure my kitchen and I knew in my gut that what I came up with wasn't "quite right." But I wasn't sure how to fix it. So I called Judi, and in just a few minutes Judi assessed the layout and knew exactly how to configure my kitchen. She took into account the traffic patterns, the location of the pantry and breakfast nook, and determined the placement of the cooktop, sink, fridge, etc which made the workflow in my kitchen easy and efficient. I love how my kitchen performs. I used to run in circles around my old island, but not anymore. Everyday I say I love my kitchen (my family is a bit tired of hearing it) but I do love it, and I have Judi to thank.

We are so happy to have selected JA Design to help with the remodeling of our main living space in our ranch style home. Our house was built in the mid 1960(s) and had pretty much the original design from that time. Judi's new design was extensive. We did everything from repositioning the kitchen, we removed all of the adjoining walls, added a large island and spanned cabinets along 50% of the wall space. She worked with us from the beginning to the end of the project, from the small details to large concept ideas. We truly have one of the nicest designs I've seen with our house style and we would not have done this without her help!

Judi has great taste and sense of style. It is elegant and sophisticated, yet simple. I hired Judi to help transform my living room from traditional to transitional. She did an amazing job recommending furniture, wall decor and window coverings - and the room turned out to be beyond my expectations. Janice even helped me find an area rug for my family room and suggested I paint my staircase bannister and rails a two-tone look. I followed her advice and absolutely love the look of my family room as well. I highly recommend her for any design project. She is a true professional, is incredibly talented with a great eye for design, and stays within the constraints of a budget. She was a joy to work with.

Judi at JA Design truly knows interior design! Her insights were spot-on as we remodeled our kitchen and made numerous other cosmetic changes throughout our house in preparation for putting our house on the market. A number of her ideas would never have occurred to us, but turned out beautifully. So beautifully, in fact, that our house sold within the 1st week of being listed. Thanks Judi!

If you want an Interior Designer that listens to your ideas, then comes up with a concept, gives you options AND stays within your budget, I highly recommend Judi Doling, JA Design. Judi transformed my over done and tired bamboo style home into a clean, updated beautiful home that gives me at breath of fresh air and makes me feel I am at the beach! She has an amazing talent for selecting paint colors and determining which walls get which colors and the result is sophisticated and stunning! She guided me through the selection of additional furniture options, plants, artwork, rugs, and more. On the business side, Judi returns phone calls, makes herself available for shopping or for just calming remodel nerves. For a pleasant and satisfying home transformation experience, I highly recommend Judi Doling, JA Design PS We discovered that while are names are similar, I am Judi Dolan, the very satisfied client and she is Judi Doling, the creative designer.

Judi Doling and JA Design are fantastic to work with / for ! We have done a lot of painting for JA Design and love the that her clients think the world of her design and color creativity . It's nice to work with happy people , A lot of times at the end of the project everyone is done with the remodeling hassle and the painters get the brunt of it - not on JA Designs jobs !

We worked with Judi in 2015 on several rooms in our home (Oak Park). We were so pleased with the outcome of our rooms, Judi understood our needs, provided guidance and ideas in addition to great style. Judi was extremely flexible with our schedules and inability to make timely decisions! Judi also has a great understanding of what works and what doesn't and current trends and fashions. It was a pleasure and we hope to work with her again soon.

I had a general idea of what I wanted for a kitchen update, Judi was able to give me choices, knowing what my personality was, the rest of my home looked liked and came up with fabulous plan. The workmen she hired were very professional, on time, and completed the job in record time. I am so pleased with my new updated kitchen. And would definitely recommend her to my friends.

I contacted Judy and asked her to give my boring beige townhouse some "punch." She completely transformed it to a light, cheerful beachie-cottage feeling. I am very pleased with the finished product and enjoy time spent here much more. Working with her has been a very pleasant experience. She's listened to my thoughts and worked within my budget. I would not hesitate to recommend her..

I hired Judy to design and maximize space in a workout studio. She listened to my ideas and worked within our allotted budget. She did a incredible job with the layout, the look and the colors. She also has a vast network of vendors, who too, did excellent work at an incredible price. I would hire her again and have already referred her.

Judi Doling (JA Design) is a designer who provides great guidance, taste, imagination, and knowledge, all in a way that feels incredibly collaborative. Though she was clearly the expert on the project, at no time did we feel that her way was the only way. Listening and being able to appreciate our tastes and specific needs were qualities she brought to the endeavor, along with great follow up and coordination with suppliers and craftsmen. And the results are spectacular! Up-to-date, fresh, great color choices, while still feeling functional and not overly "done." Wow! Would work with her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation!

Judi has been wonderful to work with; she has a great eye for color, and has gone above and beyond to make sure we have been satified every step of the way. She helped us pick paint for our entire house, pick out carpet, redesign our closet and obtain plantation shutters and new furniture. She is responsive and professional, and picked up on our likes and dislikes quickly.

I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Judi Doling and her firm - JA Design of Westlake Village, CA www.jadesignla.com I invited her to my home in Palm Springs while I was in the process of a major renovation. The project had come to a standstill and Judi came to the rescue. She was able to get the project back on track, make the hard decisions. She was focused and on point with her finish selections. The choices came together and look stunning. Judi has a keen insight that allows her to see a solution to a problem quickly and efficiently. I am very pleased with the caliber of the work and the fact that she can watch the bottom line. Most recently, I have asked her to assist me with a new project for my on going renovation. She has selected wall coverings and she has already been teasing me with some incredible options. The Place looks stunning because of Judi, I am so lucky that she dedicate the time to my project. I have no reservations whatsoever in recommending JA Design to anyone with a home that needs work. From one simple tile selection to the design and construction of a home, with Judi and her team you will receive excellent service, quality materials and craftsmanship and value for your investment. Sincerely, Mark Cicero

Judi (JADesign) was recommended to me by a friend and I loved working with her. My daughters were growing up and their bedrooms were in dire need of a more mature look. In less than three days we had selected paint, area rugs, furniture, light fixtures, accents, art work and best of all Judi brought it all together for a fantastic look! She re-designed my living room, dining area, and kitchen.... Judi used some of my existing favorite pieces and with the new additions, made me feel great walking into my "new" home. Judi has a feel for color, texture, and making a space feel complete. I love working with her. Next up, the office.

Judi is a pleasure to work with. She decorated the master bedroom and the living room. Given my restrictions and limits, she did a great job with the little wiggle room that she had! Judi had ideas for furniture placement and types of furniture and of course color coordination that never crossed my mind. We are very pleased with her work and ideas and highly recommend her services to those in need!

I used JA Design to re-model several rooms, after moving into my house. My request to the firm at the outset, was that I wanted the very best within my budget, since I am very particular about most things. Judi Doling was very easy to work with, professional and did an amazing job. I had custom made furniture built, along with store bought items, and custom made built-ins installed. She has a fantastic team of trades people and contractors that work with her. In summation, it was a great experience working with JA Design and all work done was of the highest quality.

Judi has been awesome in helping me re-decorate my Condo, transforming it from a drab environment to one I am proud to show to people. We talked/she asked me questions and then we went shopping. She struck a great balance between my budget and my tastes – which she somehow figured out in a surprisingly short period of time. Additionally “Judi’s List” of subcontractors proved to be reliable and did quality work. Bottom line – she is a very sensitive and aware home décor person and I would strongly recommend that you give her a try.
