I've been working with Jennifer for >1 year on a large scale home remodel. She's extremely organized, efficient, and respectful of your time (and budget!). I think what strikes me as being unique about Jennifer as an interior designer is she also considers function and utility which is extremely important when you have a family! So far, her work has been beautiful AND functional. If you are looking for an experienced designer you can rely on, look no further! She's an absolute pleasure to work with.

Of all the great things about working with Jennifer, I think the best is that she looks at your old stuff and your ideas for new stuff, and she does her darndest to make your ideas work. When they don't work, she has a way of tactfully letting the idea fade away so you hardly notice that you've moved on. This skill has been really important for my husband and me, who wanted to start with a fresh style but had a hard time saying goodbye to our old style. We've ended up keeping some things I never would have expected, and moving on from some things I once thought I couldn't live without. The outcome has been really good for us.
Much less important, but something I do really appreciate is the fact that Jennifer never presses you to look at the most expensive options. There have been numerous times that she has directed us to look at items that were less expensive (and in fact, very good deals), but we chose much pricier things.
The list of positives could get quite long, but briefly, here are a few: beautiful design sense; willingness and ability to work with our contractors, recommendation of high-quality businesses and crafts-people, seemingly endless resources and ideas, keeping us informed, staying the course over a long period of time for people who are not in a hurry.

This is an easy review to write! We hired Jennifer as a project manager for a big kitchen remodel in our 100 year old Seattle home. There were so many decisions that needed to be made throughout the process, from deciding on a new layout, to selecting cabinets and appliances, and picking paint colors. It was overwhelming, and I can’t imagine navigating all of all of it without Jennifer’s expertise, insight, and keen eye for design. The initial kitchen design was completed by a different design firm, and Jennifer was able to fine tune its design, making it better and modernizing it while still complimenting the age of the rest of the house. From the outset, she understood how we wanted to use the spaces in the kitchen, breakfast nook and mudroom, and she helped to create a design that fit our needs and was within our budget. She is a great communicator and always responded quickly when needed. Her office support staff are all also incredibly helpful and kind. We were impressed with Jennifer's work at every stage of the process, and we are so happy with the end results! We're not the only ones - our contractor, who had never met or worked with Jennifer before this project, complimented her knowledge and skills.
Based on my positive experience throughout the kitchen remodel, I also used Jennifer’s services for a series of smaller renovations to a short-term rental home we own and manage in Oregon. Jennifer prepared beautiful drawings and collaborated with us via ZOOM meetings to help us select and install french doors, replace some kitchen cabinets, and remodel a bathroom. It was another positive experience and, again, we love the end results. The contractor on this project was also impressed with Jennifer's knowledge of materials, and design.
In addition to it all, Jennifer is fun, efficient, and a pleasure to be around. I cannot recommend Jennifer Gardner Design Services enough for any design or construction project you might be considering.

We worked with Jennifer Gardner to update and beautify three spaces in our home: living room, sunroom, and home office. Jennifer was amazing to work with, re-designing layouts to maximize functionality, and selecting the paint, wall treatments, furniture, floor rugs, wall art, drapery, and lighting elements to complete the look. She has completely transformed the spaces and we get so much added value, functionality, and joy out of using them. Her designs and picks are thoughtful and curated and tailored to fit our lifestyle with young kids. While our project was smaller in comparison to other large scale work she has done, we really appreciated how she always brought so much positive energy and excitement despite its smaller nature. It's been a few months since we finished working with Jennifer, and over time, we've grown to appreciate her picks more and more - a testament to good design!

Above and beyond. Those are the words that sum up my experience working with Jennifer on projects ranging from a complete kitchen renovation, two bathroom renovations, and work in just about every other room in my house. Yes, she has an amazing aesthetic, is a top notch project manager, and really listens. While she knows all of the rules and principles of good design, she knows when it's important to break a rule or two to arrive at a bold or innovative solution. But when I change my mind at the last minute or a contractor I hired makes a mistake, Jennifer is there--she's always there!--going above and beyond to make everything work out.
I've worked with a lot of designers, and Jennifer is truly the most skilled and committed designer I've worked with. She does whatever it takes to make sure you love the result. And that's rare.

We highly recommend Jennifer. Jennifer is a fantastic partner to work with. Her attention to detail, collaboration efforts, and excellent communication skills made our remodel project smooth. She is professional and very knowledgeable in her field with access to many resources. She helped guide us in making decisions to pick our paint colors, lighting, counters, cabinet hardware and fixtures for our kitchen and bath remodel. We loved all her ideas. Our project turned out to be gorgeous, everyone who has seen our remodel have loved it. We have referred her to our friends, who are looking for help with their remodel.

Jennifer was the shining light in our home remodel. She helped us with everything including cabinet pulls, lighting, tile selection, paint colors and more. She really listened to both my husband and my ideas and delivered beautiful choices that both of us loved, while keeping our budget and our request for durable products in mind (we have a young child). If there was ever an issue Jennifer went above and beyond to remedy it, she was extremely professional, on-time with deliverables, and a great communicator not only with us, but with our builder and architect. I could not be more pleased with the final result or with our experience working with Jennifer.

Jennifer is organized, thoughtful and has excellent resources. She also is a pleasure to work with as she is very collaborative in nature. I also loved that once she got to know our style through surveying and great questions, she could hone in on great options and really help us choose more quickly. She anticipated needs we didn’t even know we had. We have already recommended her to several friends and would use her again in a heartbeat. I was sad when we finished the project! She’s terrific. Highly recommend.

We just finished our second project with Jennifer, are about to start a third, and will definitely be using her for the fourth once we are ready for some serious renovation. This time around we actually hired someone else (who was significantly more expensive) initially because they were available immediately and Jennifer wasn't, but as soon as we got their proposal--which was over budget, impractical, and included elements we had specifically said we didn't want--we called Jennifer and said we would wait as long as necessary to work with her. What I love about Jennifer's work is that she designs beautiful spaces that you can actually live in--even if you have small kids or dogs. She also has an uncanny ability to zero in on the spirit of what a client wants to achieve and make their ideas a million times better while still being true to the original idea.
After our last fiasco I said I would never work with a different design again and I hope you won't either!

Jenn designed our basement apartment. First, she was delightful to work with. My wife and I can never agree on anything regarding design, and we both completely loved her ideas. Her designs were perfect, and we really appreciated that she was willing to work within our budget. We also really appreciated her frequent check-ins throughout the project; she was quick to reach out to us just to make sure everything was going OK. Also, several times during the construction project, she visited the site and gave our contractor great ideas as the project moved forward. We are not experienced at major home projects, and she was very patient; we never got the feeling any question we had was dumb, including when I asked if the house was going to fall down. We could never have imagined our basement could look this good.

MOST AMAZING CLIENT EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!!
The only difficult thing in writing this review is trying to express how wonderful, in every conceivable regard, that Jennifer Gardner was to work with. Moreover, we had particularly difficult circumstances. We approached Jennifer, while we still lived in Seattle, with a project to design our new bathroom in our new home that was all the way across the country, in Virginia. We got her the measurements, some photographs, and she dove right in. She listened to our wants carefully and attentively, provided innovative and creative design suggestions, helped us pick all of the materials and fixtures we wanted, designed a detailed and meticulous plan, and communicated it with our builder. She even helped us sort through cabinet vendors and located a top notch manufacturer in VA who provided amazing cabinets for our new bathroom.
To complicate things, our initial builder was, well to be gentle---an unmitigated disaster. His inability to communicate was only matched by the absolute incompetency of himself and his crew. Jennifer was patient and helpful (as always) but was also willing to tell us we had a problem, and boy was she correct. We had 6 new contractors inspect the site (to give us bids) and each of them was horrified with the work that had been done. However, we chose a new contractor (who has been wonderful) and Jennifer then worked carefully with them as well. The redid the work and finished the project without any problems and with a wonderful outcome that we adore.
Long story short, but for Jennifer’s help, the whole thing would have been a disaster. Because of Jennifer’s help, we have an AMAZINGLY BEATUTIFUL bathroom that is exactly what we wanted. We recommend Jennifer Gardner with the very highest possible enthusiasm – she is amazing.

After being referred by a dear friend and seeing the incredible work completed on her house, I’ve worked with Jennifer on remodeling two homes. In both instances, she exceeded my expectations. While transforming my current townhouse into a peaceful sanctuary that I could return to after traveling for work throughout the week, I could not wait to arrive home every Friday to see all the design changes that had been incorporated. Working with her has been such a pleasure as she is kind, intelligent, and always has creative recommendations to make her designs both unique and unparalleled. Jennifer effectively captured my desire to have a tranquil home that feels both stylish and casual while also creating an environment where my dog could be happy and comfortable. Jennifer provided countless options to accommodate helping him love our home as much as I do.
In addition to Jennifer, I enjoyed working with her assistant, Mary Hatch, as well as all the contractors she introduced into my design process, especially Kelly Early at Fixit Sisters. Working with this entire team was a wonderful experience. I’d recommend Jennifer Gardner Designs to anyone looking to partner with someone that will listen and ultimately deliver designs beyond what you could ever imagine.

You cannot go wrong with Jennifer Gardner Design. Jennifer is amazing. She is customer focused and provides the highest quality service. Her design process is insightful. She listens to what you want to accomplish and efficiently provides options for your selection to meet your needs and desires. She provided options we did not even know available. Our entire remodel ended up with no regrets. We love every aspect of the design. We have had so many complements on the project. Even our contractor said he sees lots of kitchen remodels but ours was one of the best due to Jennifer’s design elements. We loved working with Jennifer. She is pleasant, efficient and has a professional service based support system of suppliers that she utilizes. She was highly referred to us by someone we know. We could not be happier for that referral. We highly recommend the use of Jennifer Gardner Design for your next project!

Jenn is a pleasure to work with. She did a materials review consultation on our whole house remodel and has continued to assist decor selections including furniture, rugs, wallpaper, and even a family photo gallery wall. We love everything she has done! The best part about working with Jenn is that she listens to what you want and works with you to create the kind of space you will love to live in.

Jennifer was recommended by my contractor, MWTC.
She came up with several great plans and the one we chose has worked out spectacularly well. There is great traffic flow, things are organized and easy to hand -- a real pleasure to work in our reconfigured space. Jennifer's network of sources was extensive and all of them were knowledgeable and helpful also. Whenever anything came up, she was right there to make sure it didn't turn into a problem. Between her and our fabulous contractor, it all came off without a hitch. Kudos all around!
January 2, 2019
Jennifer is not only creatively talented, but a joy to work with. I always looked forward to our design appointments and seeing all the amazing options she came up with. She came prepared with choices at varying price points and pros and cons for each one and was able to deftly swing design plans when I came up with crazy ideas, helping me see what was possible and what was not. She truly took my opinion and tastes and made them shine, nudging in the right places. She has designed lovely spaces from my eclectic 1908 kitchen, to mid-century modern, to farmhouse industrial and everything in between. Another major plus of working with Jennifer is her connections in the industry - I don't think I paid retail once for anything, and her suppliers and craftspeople were top notch. She troubleshoots, brings calm and grace, and a discerning eye. You won't regret hiring her - you'll wonder why you didn't find her sooner.

Jennifer is terrific! She designed our main floor bathroom remodel and it looks fantastic. Everyone who sees it raves about it and three friends asked for referrals to Jenn for their own projects. Jenn has excellent relationships with great contractors, painters, design showrooms, etc. which made the project so easy for us as the customer. She coordinated all of these parts for us and kept to the timeline we outlined together at the beginning of the project. Jenn was always mindful of our budget and was able to source great products within the budget. She has a wonderful design aesthetic yet made sure she understood our design preferences when choosing materials. She always provided several design options for us to choose from and cheerfully sought out additional options to refine our choices when needed. And, Jenn is delightful! I highly recommend Jenn, and we continue to work with her on additional projects.

In addition to having great taste, Jennifer was able to combine our aesthetic preference with her vision, while also taking into account our current and future needs. This resulted in furniture selections and a spatial layout in our main living space that we are beyond happy with. We highly recommend Jennifer.

Jennifer was and is amazing! Personal, professional and extremely knowledgeable. She absolutely nailed my personal style and gave me options within that style to choose from so I could personalize my condo to my preference! The whole place flows nicely and all pieces work incredibly well! If I found something that I really liked she would try to work that in or give me similar options that would. She explained why she was choosing what she was so I would better understand the design process!! Everyone that visits is incredibly impressed and loves the style and design...but not as much as I do!! She is terrific and knows her stuff!! Why are you still reading this??? Hire her now!!!

Jennifer is organized, responsive and incredibly easy to work with. She delivered exactly what we asked her for – a re-designed kitchen that functions far better than the original, with finishes that make sense in our old bungalow. She saved us a tremendous amount of time by reducing the amount of choices we had to make and tracking down lighting, drawer pulls and everything else online and in local stores for us. We highly recommend her.

After great success working with Jennifer on our NYC apartment, we turned to her for inspiration and guidance to renovate our vacation home on Martha’s Vineyard.
Jennifer coordinated all colors, fabrics, fixtures and furniture to reflect our family’s personality and lifestyle. Jennifer’s expert knowledge of materials, use of space and eye for color made the difference in transforming our place into a fun, modern, and practical second home.
One of our key priorities was designing an interior to host large groups of people. In response, Jennifer worked with us to recommended furniture and layouts that maximized our space so we could comfortably entertain large groups of people in the way we love best. We are grateful for Jennifer’s creative approach and extensive knowledge of products and materials, and her guidance in selecting unique designs and creating plans for custom furniture pieces.
Communicating with Jennifer is always a pleasure. Jennifer is very responsive and replies to all questions quickly and thoroughly. Working through virtual meetings via Facetime and Skype, Jennifer was able to recommend stylish solutions. Furthermore, Jennifer has always acted professionally through all stages of our projects and was respectful of our budget from start to completion for every room in our house.
We can wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer’s services – we will absolutely work with her again in the future.

Simply put, Jenn is amazing. She rises above expectations, time and time again, working as an advocate on our behalf, but also guiding us towards design choices that fit our style and taste. I felt so overwhelmed by all of the aspects that went into our remodel experience: Jenn breaks it down, offers me a few choices from ones she knows I will like, and streamlines the process. She is warm, kind, professional, and dedicated. When we ran into an issue with the cabinet company, Jenn campaigned on our behalf, saving us the stress of having to deal with it ourselves. She has excellent taste, but knows how to help you find your own. She is the BEST and I highly recommend her. We plan to work with her again in the future!!

Jennifer Gardner created the fresh new look we wanted in our 1920s brick Tudor living room. She worked with my requests (more seating, more open space, less stuff) to come up with a comfy, attractive furniture arrangement and updated accessories. She considered pictures of rooms and ideas I loved and put several to work to make the room much more inviting. She was able to understand my tastes very quickly and brought samples of fabrics and furniture for me to choose from that were just right. The various vendors she works with are all first rate. She was very conscious of my budget. We worked with items we already owned and love, as well as adding new items to achieve the goal of more seating for the occasional crowd. I'm getting rave reviews from everyone who sees the new look for the first time!

We did a kitchen renovation and Jennifer designed the space for us. She was fun, professional, and always had great ideas of how to succeed in making our dream kitchen a reality. We were extremely happy with her services and would recommend her without hesitation!
December 13, 2015
We moved in to a renovated home with a lovely open floor plan main living space, but it was also very empty, not homey, and too much 'all one room' rather that feeling like somewhat distinct spaces. It was overwhelming to try to choose colors, furniture, shades, rugs, art, frames, lamps, etc that would achieve the result we were looking for, while still being a great space for our young children too. Jennifer was an amazing partner in designing our space -- she listened very carefully to what we wanted, and worked hard over time to adapt as she learned more and more about what we wanted and liked. She was also very flexible in terms of being able to both source a wide diversity of items ... all the way from high-end items available only to designers to more consumer ready sources (i.e. the many home stores at University Village). Jennifer also has a great set of local companies she works with and trusts and we had good experiences with all of them -- we chose to hire from her recommendations for drapes and pillow sewing, custom closet installs, drapes installation, painting, and carpentry, for example. This was our first experience working with a designer. One recommendation I have, which is probably applicable to any designer is to remember that you will be the one living in the space. If there's something that is important to you about the space, work with your designer to find a good way to incorporate that. For example, we figured out over time that we really really wanted and valued open storage (i.e. bookcases), which wasn't completely consistent with Jennifer's idea of the best design. It took a bit of back and forth, but Jennifer eventually came up with solutions that we love and that we still feel are really beautiful.
Note: my project cost estimate includes all aspects of the project, not just the design services.
December 13, 2015
We hired Jenn after we bid on, and won, a design consultation with her at an auction. An initial consultation turned into a large 9 month project during which we overhauled our living room and dining nook. We just had the install and we are so pleased with the results. It looks incredible!
I have been so impressed with Jenn during the entire process. She has a great designer's eye and creativity. She listened to what we wanted and delivered just that and more, often bringing an option we had not even considered which ended up being just what we had wanted all along. She was accessible, straight-forward about costs, kept price and budget always in mind and was an absolute joy to work with!

Hiring a designer was the best money we spent on our bathroom remodel project, and Jennifer was a pleasure to work with. My husband and I have very different tastes. Jennifer was able to sift through the styles we each like and come up with style that suited us both. The layout (which included taking out a wall and resizing a window) was one that we had not considered on our own. We loved her tile idea, a simple and beautiful design. Her designs are flexible enough for us to decide where we wanted to spend money (tile and fixtures) and where to use more standard materials to save cost. Our contractor was able to work from her design which was accurate and thoughtful of having to move a load bearing wall. I recommend Jennifer highly.

We hired Jennifer to help us design the family room, master bedroom, and living room in our new home. Thanks to Jennifer, what I thought would be a stressful process turned out to be great fun. Jennifer has a wonderful personality and was a joy to be with every time we met. She spent time getting to know me and my style preferences and as a result her recommendations were fantastic. She accomplished what I thought would be impossible when she helped me find pieces and colors I love that also satisfied the unique tastes of my husband. The results are spaces that we both adore! Jennifer did a great job assuring the quality of everything we ordered through her. When an item arrived in less than perfect condition, Jennifer was on the phone with the manufacturer immediately and before I knew it a new piece had been shipped. She was positive and always willing to help. She went shopping with me to help me select a few finishing touches and she let me run questions by her or change my mind without hesitation. I highly recommend Jennifer and I hope to work with her again in the future.
March 7, 2015
We had Jennifer design our living room, dining room, whole house paint scheme and office amongst other things for our place. The living, dining, and kitchen are one big open space which was very challenging for us to think about.
Jennifer was a joy to work with, and we're thrilled with the results. She took our general direction and tastes and refined it creating rooms that we never could on our own and even designing custom furniture pieces and taking them all the way from design to home delivery.
She was very accommodating of our busy schedules, often making visits on the weekends to go over design ideas and being very responsive to email no matter the time of day or day of the week.
She was also very mindful of our budget and worked to provide alternatives whenever possible.
We would not hesitate to use Jennifer again for all of our future design needs.

Jennifer was great about listening to what we wanted and needed for our home in Magnolia. We had a modest budget for interior design, and Jennifer was able to come up with a great design for our living room, kitchen, and master bedroom that stuck to our budget. We would have been lost without her great ideas, fixture selection, and paint color choices, and we recommend her highly. A pleasure to work with!

We were moving from a 100 year old craftsman style house to a one day old modern house. We wanted to keep some of our treasured possessions (e.g., piano and art) but needed to update the rest. Her task was to design "4 rooms in one" - living, kitchen, dining, and family rooms in one large and open space. We wanted the "rooms" to flow one into another and yet wanted each space to have its own look and feel. We also wanted furniture that was functional and, at the same time, unique and thought provoking. Jennifer was masterful in assessing our personality, life style, and design tastes and developed a interior design that more than accomplished the look and feel we wanted. The spaces are able to expand and contract - from just the two of us nestled in, to fold in kids homes from college, to entertaining friends and family. All, from the young to the old, love the spaces. Jennifer more than delivered for a very reasonable cost.

Jenn joined our remodeling team well into the construction phase. Despite such a late arrival (our fault) she was able to finish our kitchen design that exceeded our expectations. Our kitchen is functional and beautiful, I enjoy every minute that I spend cooking or just hanging out. Her color choices complimented our decor, the light fixtures she picked perfectly match our craftsman style home and the back splash is gorgeous. Any other project I embark on will be partnered with Jenn. Jennifer pays close attention to detail, listens carefully to her clients needs and desires and produces a design that successfully integrates the various requirements of her client. I highly recommend Jennifer, your home remodeling project will turn out even better than you imagine. Her design service is money will spent.

I hired Jenn to redecorate my family's great room. This is the room my family lives in. We entertain, we play (I have two young boys), we eat, we watch movies, etc. We spend the bulk of our time in this room. I wanted it to be beautiful AND functional. Jenn really took the time to understand how we use the room and then designed with that in mind. There was a tricky fixed element in the room -- a ceramic stove. She embraced it and made it a showpiece of the room. She really listened early on to our family’s likes and dislikes on colors, etc and it was reflected in her design. She was also easy to collaborate with on the budget. She presented options early on for two tiers of products that would both fit the design. We were able to say yes to the beautiful and pricey console that is a signature piece in the room but buy a ready-made sofa that I wouldn't mind having my children jump on. In order to save budget, I chose the option to implement her design myself, including make the curtains. She made this so easy by presenting me with a spreadsheet with links to buy the accessories, furniture, and fabrics I would need. Whenever I had questions, she was easily accessible to answer them.
One element we are particularly happy with, which I know Jenn offers as a small design project, is our children's art wall. She helped us cull through our sons' art projects and put together a collage of framed artwork over our sofa. My boys are so proud their work is displayed and it is a fun way to bring color and personality and meaning into our home.
The end result – a beautiful room which we all enjoy living in. Jenn has a talent for creating beautiful designs that reflect the sensibilities and aesthetic of her customers. She is a joy to work with. We couldn’t be more delighted!

Jennifer Gardner Design is the real deal! A highly trained interior designer who gets as excited about small projects as she does about big ones and who can build from your taste and needs, while bringing in her impeccable taste and deep knowledge of furniture, fabrics, paint, and finishings.
Other designers I had tried to work with in the past were always pushing one or two areas of their expertise, but were inflexible about designing around some of my existing furniture or rugs. Jennifer is great about working with great pieces you may already have. More importantly, she really works upfront to understand your needs and priorities and budget.
Jennifer has a breadth and depth of knowledge that allows her to think about the big picture design vision all the way through to the most detailed aspects of finishing a room (the right lamp, the way the art is hung, fabric on pillows, storage needs...etc.). Jennifer actually gives you many options for working with her from "full service" to "style my room" which she has incredibly well structured so that you get high value from her process. Over the last six months, Jennifer designed for me:
- converting my guest room into a toddler boy's bedroom for my newly adopted son
- the conversion of my small dining room to a playroom for my toddler while still maintaining cohesiveness with my living room and kitchen
- a baby-proofing plan for my whole house
- finishings for a bedroom redesign I'd started but not finished last year
- an incredibly smart and beautiful solution for my front door to create more privacy
- new floor tile and paint for an upstairs bathroom that had some cracking tiles from a previous poor install job
Jennifer is creative, punctual, an excellent communicator and genuinely good person. She built from my vision and existing pieces while adding her own more sophisticated taste,ideas and product knowledge of furniture, fabrics, paint, art, etc.
I hired her to project manage much of the implementation of the work and she nailed it, bringing in top notch contractors at great price/value including tile setters, painter, carpenter, art installer and a seamstress for curtains/pillows. Jennifer's selection, oversight and management of the contractors was worth every penny!
I love the work Jennifer did for me and will definitely hire her again. I have already referred her to four of my friends and neighbors who have projects of various sizes and homes of various styles.

Our dilemma: baby #3 was due and our urban Seattle house suddenly felt too small for our growing family. Because of time and budget constraints, we decided to convert our attached garage into a new bedroom, bathroom, and laundry room. Enter Jennifer Gardner: she transformed our cold, inhospitable garage into a warm and beautiful space that is, hands-down, the nicest bedroom and bathroom in our house! This was our second project with Jennifer Gardner Design - our first was a complete kitchen facelift in 2009 - and once again, we were completely thrilled with the outcome! Jennifer seems to have a sixth sense for the feel and function of a space, and she has incredible talent and style. Jennifer is down-to-earth and she is willing to work her magic even within the confines of a budget. It is this additional styling and touch that a designer brings to a project, something we couldn't have accomplished if we did it our selves. I highly recommend Jennifer Gardner Design! I am, in fact, saving my money for several redecorating projects and plan to hire Jennifer for all of them.

When considering the work a designer has done for you, I suppose the most important criteria would be that you are pleased with the finished project. We were absolutely pleased with the work Ms. Gardner did and are happy in our remodel every day. But beyond the end result are so many other reasons we are glad we chose her to assist with our home. Jennifer is responsive, accountable and so pleasant to work with. She took our ideas and brought them together so neatly. Our home reflects our taste and personality, but with the polish it takes a designer to bring.
We have used Jennifer's services in both of last two homes and are looking forward to working with her again in the future.

I hired Jennifer after interviewing 2 other designers. Jennifer had the most specific questions about what I wanted the only designer that asked me to browse a magazine and pics on Houzz to show what interested me. When we reviewed everything, she picked up on things that the other designers did not. She also made me feel very comfortable with the first few meetings. You'll work with a designer a lot. Make sure you enjoy their companies and their opinion. Jennifer definitely matches those expectations.
Jennifer took a staged approach to get us to the final design and showed me ideas in small steps that eventually got all put together into the final design. It never felt too overwhelming and I didn't have to make a ton of decisions in one single batch.
Once all decisions were made, she pulled in the contractors. They were all very polite and gave me enough confidence they could achieve what I wanted. The process went slower than I expected and it was a bit frustrating, but Jennifer helped a bunch with project management and I mostly dealt with everything over email. I didn't have any major headache otherwise. The final project turned out great! I'm very happy with the result and how clean and uncluttered my place looks. I went a bit over my budget and it was my choice. Jennifer showed me a plan within budget and added some things I had asked her to add.
Overall - Jennifer has great taste, knows what she is doing and got to my vision like I wanted. To give some context - I'm in my mid-thirties, single and my place is a 1 bdrm condo; the design was for the whole place.

I recently had the privilege of working with Jennifer Gardner Design to help style my bedroom. I can't say or write enough fabulous things about her "Style my Space" program!!!! I had so much fun executing her vision for my room. Not only was it incredibly user friendly and easy, but I was also left with the flexibility to put my own spin on things and to put the room together at my own pace. Now I look through the rest of my house and eagerly anticipate what room will be next!

We hired Jennifer to help us select furniture, drapes, and accessories for the main living area, kitchen, den, and dining room in our new home. She did an incredible job coming up with ideas -- including many things we would have never thought of ourselves. She's very well organized, taking complete measurements and lots of photos of the existing space, and coming back to us with a wide range of suggestions for fabrics, colors, furniture pieces, artwork, and accessories. She took care of all of the details of purchasing, delivering, and setting up the new pieces when they arrived. She's also great at listening to her clients, never imposing her own preferences over ours, and good about taking feedback to tune the direction of the project. We're very happy with our newly decorated home and hope to work with Jennifer on the other areas of our house.
