I could write pages about the excellent work done by Jo-Ann Capelaci and Deidre Taylor. I knew I needed major changes in my home with a vague idea of what I wanted - master bath, kitchen, lighting, flooring, paint and window treatments. Jo-Ann was one of many designers I reached out to, but she was the first to engage in a meaningful conversation. An appointment was set and Deidre came to my home for the initial consultation. She spent time getting to know me along with my likes and dislikes. The guidance and direction they provided was phenomenal. They both exude a calmness that helped make this all manageable. I would absolutely recommend Jo-Ann, Deidre and the rest of her associates - I could not be happier with the results. They exceeded my expectations and left me with a home I love. read more

I met JoAnn at various local networking events. She always had something interesting and relate able to share when it was time for her to speak about her business. This is why when I bought a house I thought to call her for some advice and guidance. She met me at the new home as well as at some stores to help me sort through some of the more important decisions like COLOR. The questions she asked me while in my new home made me think, and actually saved me money because she brought up a few things I would never have thought of and I ended up going in a different (better) direction. Her knowledge and experience, along with her kind and calm demeanor took a lot of my stress away as I was making these important decisions about my new (first) home! I look forward to working with her again when we decide to do more improvements. read more

My wife and I hired Jo-Ann to design when remodeling our new home. Her ideas for paint and color are dead-on and makes our home feel warm and inviting. We love our new home and always get comments from guests about how professional our color scheme looks. I am so impressed with Jo-Ann and I asked her to help redesign our computer services business office in Westlake Village. Jo-Ann has some great ideas to give our office a tech-cool vibe. I'm looking forward to continuing to use Jo-Ann in all my design projects and feel very confident in referring her to friends, family and customers. read more

Its been a pleasure working with Jo-Ann and Dee. This is our 3rd project with them and the result is absolutely beautiful! We gutted our entire bathroom and added an exterior door and window. They helped us pick every detail from beginning to end. They are always quick to respond to our needs and always follow through on their promises. Most of all, I love their attention to detail and design. Their design is always functional for our family needs with 2 toddlers, yet beautifully done that will last us many years. When something is not right, they will speak up and help rectify ASAP. I highly recommend them and will use them again for future projects! read more

We hired Jo Anne after she worked with our neighbors when they remodeled their kitchen and downstairs bathroom. She did great work for them and their house is magnificent. We remodeled our kitchen, dining area and family room and really did not have a clue of what would work together. She came in and presented multiple ideas after speaking with us about our own ideas and preferences. The time she spent with us at our home and multiple supplier locations was incredible. I strongly urge anyone in need of professional decorating advice to retain her services. Jo Anne was absolutely the best decision we made for our home. Terry & Anika Cole read more

Jo-Ann Capelaci and Deidre Taylor transformed our Santa Barbara style home in Westlake Village from outdated and dingy, to fresh, bright and modern. From design to execution, the whole process was fun and even exhilarating. We really can't say enough great things about Jo-Ann and Deidre, who listened to our concerns and were able to bring creative ideas to solve our design dilemmas. We are still working on implementing their ideas for our project and loving how it is turning out. Jo-Ann and Deidre are both warm and calm, and abounding with enthusiasm and genuine love for what they do. Jo-Ann truly has a gift for design and is a true pleasure to work with. Thank you, Jo-Ann and Deidre, for making us proud of our home again!! read more

Jo Anne is Fantastic! We had never worked with a decorator before but we were going to remodel our kitchen and wanted to do it right. She pointed out things that we would have missed otherwise and as a result we have our dream kitchen. She is very resourceful and saved an immense amount of time finding exactly the right products. She worked well with our contractor. I loved that she seemed as excited about our project as we did. She drew us out to express out desires so that this is truly our house, not a decorators idea of what it should be. Our project expanded into new furniture for the living room and now into our bathrooms. I love having people over now because our home feels so comfortable and welcoming. More importantly, I feel as though we have found a new friend. read more

Jo-Ann was referred by a friend who used her and an excellent contractor, Fernando Contreras, to remodel bathrooms and a kitchen. When I saw the photos of the work, I hired Jo-Ann (and Fernando) without seeking other bids. I was not disappointed. Jo-Ann works to dig out your own ideas. She provides expert counseling on colors and designs, so you avoid embarrassing unintended consequences. I had a limited budget to do two bathrooms. Jo-Ann suggested we go spare on the downstairs bathroom, thereby saving money for an elaborate makeover of the upstairs master bathroom. The plan worked perfectly, keeping me on budget with the project. Jo-Ann was always available by phone, text or email for questions and went above and beyond the scope of her agreement in helping me with this project. read more

We worked with Jo-Ann Capelaci and Deidre Taylor to completely redesign our living room/dining room area and to do some lighting and design work in our kitchen and bathrooms. We have been absolutely thrilled with the results! Jo-Ann and Deidre are absolute professionals -creative, thoughtful, and really spent the time to come up with a redesign that is exactly our style. They designed everything from our beautiful new fireplace surround and custom bookshelves and bench seat, to all furniture and rug choices, lighting, paint, and moldings. Our house looks so fabulous and classy now! Throughout the process, they kept us involved and incorporated our feedback and opinions. Their follow-through is also wonderful; they promptly took care of any issue or question we had during the course of the project. We would highly recommend Jo-Ann and Deidre for any remodel project, they are the best! read more

We hired JoAnn a few years ago to give us some ideas on remodeling and changing our interior. Her vision inspired us to implement color and warmth throughout the house. At first we were apprehensive to add any color and keep the interior beize. As a result of her idea's, we had made drastic color changes and absolutely love it. I would recommend JoAnn's services to anyone. read more

I did a job with Jo-Ann as a sub contractor in Camarillo. Her directions to me were very clear. She was precice about the job & punctual. The icing on the cake... she was prompt with payment....Thanks, Jo-Ann read more

Jo-Ann and Deidre took the time to listen to what we were looking for, and they also set up Pinterest boards for us to pin things we liked so that they could get a feel for our style. Their services included floor plans (with options to choose from), design boards (also with options), a list of items to purchase with budget, a few trips to the Sofa Guy, and assistance with ordering. At every stage they answered our questions, made alternative suggestions if we wanted something different, and even helped us pick out something different when we took too long to order and the item was discontinued. Their attention to detail allowed me to relax a bit because they didn't let things fall through the cracks. I used to think interior design was only for the wealthy, and we certainly are not wealthy! It turns out that, with their designer discount, the savings paid for the design fees. So we paid the same as we would have doing it on our own, but it looks so much better! Highly, highly, highly recommend. read more

I recently moved into a new house and used Colours & Concepts to help with design ideas and paint colors. Joanne, who is the owner, is amazing!!! Not only is she very creative, she also inspired me and my partner to create designs of our own. I feel like our house looks like something out of a magazine and with Colours and Concepts' help we were able to incorporate our own taste throughout it. It really feels like "home" and I never want to leave. She helped to get us a great deal on our sofa too and always had such a positive and helpful attitude. I really feel like she designed around our personalities which made it personalized. read more

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Deidre on flooring options for our home. She was wonderful to work with! She spent time with us to really understand our preferences and our vision, came up with great options for us, and followed up to make sure our needs were met. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for help from a designer! read more

Jo Ann is wonderful! Very professional great ideas and fun to boot. If I have any questions about decor, color and almost anything else I know where I will go again. I have no reservations for recommending her to anyone. read more
