Interior Design ***** Jo Anne was so wonderful to work with. She brought my desired aesthetic to life and was able to curate a space better than I’d ever imagined within my budget. She was warm, thoughtful, and so kind to me! I loved her advice about picking pieces to maximize a small space. She was able to transform my home into a functional, calming, and warm space where I could gather people over hearty conversation and good food. She was very tolerant of my work schedule and went above and beyond to make my space a home. Every step along the way, I felt she was giving my home decorating project the time, care, and attention she would give to her home space. I absolutely adored her, loved working with her, and look forward to decorating my outdoor space with her!!! Thank you so much, Jo Anne, for being patient with me and bringing my heart’s desire for my home to life! - M.M. Updated Feb 28, 2023 Verified Carmen W. Interior Design ***** Jo Anne was such an amazing ball of positive energy! It was the perfect combination of expertise, quality, and talent that helped create the welcoming good energy I wanted for the interior creation of the home. Jo Anne is also very knowledgeable and referred me to resources that would give me a better idea on my next steps for my rental. Would definitely work with her for future projects! 🙏❤️ very grateful . More photos to come! Sep 22, 2022 Verified Mark L. ***** We loved working with JoAnne and Inspiring Spaces. We would recommend working with her to anyone. Great value, attention to detail, and fantastic final results. Apr 16, 2022 Verified Claire P. ***** After 7+ years of living with our "short-term" craigslist, thrift, and Ikea furniture, I couldn't take it anymore. I knew I wanted an update, but I didn't even know where to start. Jo Anne is the perfect start. And finish. She came by to look at our small but mighty home and made amazing suggestions that works both for the space and our differing design opinions. (My husband could live in a cardboard box whereas I... couldn't.) Jo Anne provided multiple design options all within our shared aesthetic and within budget. I know if I even attempted to do this on my own, I would've spent way more money and the result would've been a hodgepodge of madness. If you're considering working with a Jo Anne for your space, close your eyes and click "book." You won't regret it! Jul 23, 2021 Verified Osayame D. Interior Design ***** Jo did an amazing job helping me with the interior design for my new home. She set the overall direction and executed very well. Her attention to detail is impeccable. I would highly recommend working with her. Apr 17, 2021 Verified Mary F. Interior Design ***** JoAnne is amazing and so easy to work with. She has helped me so much with pulling together the design for our Monte Rio vacation home. I will be hiring for more rooms in the future. I will add photos after project is complete. Updated Jan 14, 2020 Verified Jeff J. ***** JoAnne did several projects for us. They were all terrific. I am a big picture guy. I wanted a nice patio. She found the furniture, the plants the lights and put it all together so that it is comfortable, attractive and functional. She gave us choices for all, but recommended the ones that she thought would work best. She was right every time. More importantly, my wife and I had different visions. She negotiated the tightrope perfectly. As they say, “Happy wife, happy life.” My wife is ecstatic. Apr 22, 2019 Lea T. ***** I can't believe how easy it was for Jo Anne to be able to take my style preferences and create a space that was even better than anything that I could envision! She works quickly, engaged us during the entire process and completely transformed our living room, dining room and wine room. We loved her work so much that we've hired her to completely redesign our home in Italy. Apr 22, 2019 Sharon B. ***** I can’t say enough about my experience working with Inspiring Spaces. My husband and I agree on many things. We weren't sure the design of our bedroom would be one of them. He wanted a dark room, the darker the better, a soothing cave where he could easily fall asleep. I was looking for an inviting retreat that went beyond a room where we slept. JoAnne listened to our often-mad ramblings. If there’s such a thing as a design therapist, she’s it. We found her to be talented, professional, and dedicated. She created an elegant, tranquil room for us that we can’t wait to get to every night. We adore our new bedroom. Apr 22, 2019 Nancy C. ***** JoAnne is extremely talented. She worked with me to completely transform my bathroom, within my budget. I had recently gone through a divorce and the bathroom had been used by my ex-husband. I needed something that was completely new, not just a fresh coat of paint or a design update. In our initial consult JoAnne listened and asked questions. I let her know I loved wainscoting and that I needed a bathroom that was entirely opposite from what I had. She immediately understood. Not only did she work with some of my suggestions, but she offered solutions that fit my budget (wainscoting was too expensive, so we went with white subway tiles halfway up the wall—which are fun and beautiful). She took the bland off-white walls to a beautiful rich gray, removed the medicine cabinet/mirror and replaced it with a huge mirror, painting the thick trim white, then added a sparkly light fixture above the mirror. She even sourced the perfect floor tiles from Overstock ($36 total!) in a driftwood gray. I absolutely love the transformation; it truly is my own and reflects my sensibility and aesthetic. Yes, JoAnne worked to make the elements and design beautiful, but what she did also brought an internal shift allowing me to move forward in my life. Thank you, JoAnne! Apr 20, 2019 Nancy N. ***** JoAnne redesigned our living room for us. She quickly drew up some various options and then presented us with her design board. It was a pleasure to work with her in so many ways. She has the creative vision, a positive can-do attitude, open ears, flexibility, and a clear love of interior design! I foresee using her again in the near future!! Apr 15, 2019
