The GRD team was great during my long awaited kitchen remodel. Working with Gina was a breeze, and…read moreshe took me through the process with ease and encouragement, every step of the way. Appointments were prompt and everything stayed on schedule and on budget. I was happy to work collaboratively with her in the final decision process and I'm beyond ecstatic with the finished product. Her esthetic is the reason I hired her and she heard me and helped me narrow down my sometimes scattered ideas, (so many options!) My kitchen remodel is essentially an entire house remodel since we opened the floor plan. The final styling was fantastic as well, and I feel like I live in the pages of a lifestyle magazine ;-) Thank you!!! *It's called Pretty In Pink on the site. Go see!

I could not be more thankful for Gina on my project. I recently opened a small fitness studio and…read moreas soon as I signed the lease, I knew I had to hire Gina. She had a real sense of how to understand my style but also suggest options I might not have thought of. Gina's talents and skills are many and well honed. She has great intuition on what to spend on and what to save on. Her ability to manage the project was on point. I always felt she was in control and had my best interest at heart. Lastly, her taste level and eye for design made the space very special and I am so thankful to her. She is a joy to work with and I highly recommend Gina to everyone I can.

Rosayln gave me gorgeous, accessible and practical ideas on how to brighten and bring more life to my home. It's obvious that she loves what she does and has a special gift and eye for design. She tapped right in to boho-chic style that I wanted and presented design elements I never would have thought to try. With a map of where I can go and permission to experiment, my living room is transforming and I have more confidence in my own decision-making process. Creating a true home is a process of devotion and if you want someone who understand this on both the inner and material levels, you won't be disappointed with her guidance.

My name is Alaura O'Dell, and I have been a resident of Sonoma County since 1992. In 1999 I bought…read morea beautiful home in Santa Rosa for my daughters, & I. Since my daughters moved out of our family home, my big project was to have all of the walls inside the house painted an off-white color, which I then filled with my art collection. The rooms that became the most neglected over the years were the master bedroom and the master bathroom. They badly needed a facelift and redesign that reflected who I was today, not who I was when I moved into the house nearly twenty-five years ago. I chose to ask Rosalyn if she would look at my bedroom and bathroom after I saw her flyer and the beautiful designs she had created. Also, I had been inside her home, which she built and has designed so lovely and authentically to who she is, with many artistic accents. Rosalyn came over to my home and, in a very easy hour, she looked over the rooms and asked me questions which focused on how I would like to feel, and what I would like to see in these rooms. She then took measurements and went away to work on the design. In a short time she emailed over a detailed design board, with a suggested color palette, photos of furniture, rug, and window treatments and other styling suggestions, which were incredibly beautiful, along with 3D rendered visuals of how the rooms could look with her suggested layout. It encompassed all the things that I had mentioned I would like, such as the shabby chic style blended with elements of romanticism. I also really appreciated the way she incorporated Feng Shui in the designs for a more harmonious layout of the bedroom and bathroom. I am so excited to start working on buying the materials and new furnishings to complete the design work, which I am so satisfied and happy with. Rosalyn even found the most ideal Arts & Crafts wallpaper for my bedroom, inspired by the English designer William Morris, which connects me to my British roots. Another detail I was so pleased with. And, there were many others. This is my first-time working with an interior designer. I know Rosalyn will be my interior designer for future projects in my home as she listened to my needs, wants, and concerns, including staying within budget. She is incredibly talented, sincere,and very easy to work with.

Julia is absolutely amazing and incredibly kind. I wanted to renovate the chiropractic treatment…read moreroom that I lease to give it an updated and more modern feel. I sought out Julia because I had heard that she was extremely talented and tasteful with her designs. Julia took a good deal of time to sit down with me and develop a theme for my room that would really capture my personality. She came up with an idea to create a unique atmosphere and design that would make you feel like you were in a whole other office upon entering. I was under a budget and she came in under what I was expecting to pay for the quality and features that I wanted to update. I sought out her approval for anything and everything that I purchased to accompany the office décor, leaving all of my trust in her design concept. I would highly recommend her for any project, remodel, and design that you may have in mind. My brother was so impressed that he and his wife are going to use her design expertise as they start to remodel their kitchen and living room. You can't do any better for all your design needs!

After picking out our own exterior home colors the last three times, we decided our cookie-cutter…read moreefforts lacked the curb appeal we always hope for. After all, we have seen beautifully painted homes all over Sonoma County, so why couldn't we be one? It's because we needed the right help... as in, a professional color consultant. After leafing through the local internet and talking with several such people, we chose Barbara Jacobs. Her portfolio, her confidence, her genuine interest and more were what settled us on her. Barbara came over, surveyed our home and environs, and over coffee, discussed our likes and dislikes. Then over a several week process, we kept winnowing out the close but not ideal colors until we were left with four colors that to us, seemed perfect. It wasn't until Carlos Garcia, the owner of Color Essentials Painting finished up that what seemed perfect...was. We never got there without Barbara, and we certainly would not have again. Thanks a million Barbara... you did it!

She demonstrated a wealth of knowledge about color and paint, and was a nice person to interact with. Barbara provided advice that matched our tastes, but also injected helpful ideas we hadn't considered (unlike other designers I've worked who were either too wishy-washy or too pushy). She provides a premium service at premium pricing; the cost will limit how frequently I can use her services, but she certainly provided excellent color advice.
