From my initial tour with Jacques to participating in the East Bay Open Studios, the connections I have made with fellow resident artists have been invaluable. My growth as an artist during my time here has been insurmountable. I will miss my time here but will carry the relationships I have made with me. I part ways with MWS only because I have found a studio closer to my home. Thank you MWS for giving me a space and a place to grow and thrive as an artist.

Jill did the staging for our Berkeley house a couple of months ago just before it went on the…read moremarket, and I gasped when I walked in and saw her fantastic work! Such a transformation! From the beautiful lighting to the vibrant paint colors to the gorgeous artwork, Jill did impeccable work throughout, down to the smallest detail--even the books on the shelves were perfect choices! She transformed our house into an incredibly warm and welcoming environment, and I have no doubt that her staging was key in helping us make a quick sale at a price that far exceeded our expectations. From consultation to installation to removal, she was extremely prompt and professional--making this part of the real estate process easy and fun!

Lauren at Visual Jill did a fantastic job for us with a difficult task: taking a small bedroom with…read moreawkward dimensions and turning it into a space that a six-year-old boy and a three-year-old girl would actually want to share. Three months later, our kids are still happily co-habitating, and their room is a wonderful place to be (for kids and grown-ups alike). Lauren managed to maximize every square inch of the room, and make it all look great in the process. She made us a great Pinterest board with furniture ideas, plus a really amazing Photoshop mock-up of the room that showed exactly what the furniture would look like in the room, with new paint colors and all. Once we settled on final choices, she did all the ordering and connected us with a room painter. After we'd assembled all the furniture (this is time-consuming, so it's worth bearing in mind that it falls outside the scope of Visual Jill's services), Lauren and Jill came over to re-shelve the kids' books, hang pictures, affix a very cool wall decal, and generally spiff the place up. Altogether a great experience working with Visual Jill, and we would definitely hire them for future projects.

2nd time I've worked with David. Not one bad thing to say. He is professional, very reasonable…read moreand his work is as good as any other you'll find. My client specifically on the recent home had many moving parts while getting ready to list the home. David was very flexible and kind with adjusting his time, to match exactly what was needed. Very quick to communicate. I trust David so much that I did not even need to meet him at the property. I just give him the combo code, knowing he will take care of everything, turn off all the lights and properly lock up the house. David did exactly that. He quoted a 24 hour turnaround time, he delivered in about 15 hours. Definitely will be working with him for a long time moving forward.

We were easily able to communicate ideas back and forth with no struggles. She is also very personable and easy to get along with which made the remodeling experience a pleasant one. Second, she knows her job well. After communicating with her what I wanted, she went ahead and designed a plan for me that worked well. A lot of times, I wondered if the color scheme and recommended choices were going to work. Barbara kept telling me: "Trust me; its is going to look really nice." Oh, my goodness, she was so right! At one point, my assistant and I laughed as she said; "We should have put more trust in Barbara!" Barbara has a good eye for making things look fabulous. Third, and equally important, she takes the stress out of remodeling or decorating your place. I didn't have to sacrifice precious personal time to through countless choices of furniture, art, fixtures, paints, floors, etc. Barbara narrowed the RIGHT choices for me and took care of contacting vendors and suppliers on my behalf, arranging for deliveries, and engaging the best people for installing my fixtures and artwork. My place would certainly not be looking the way it is now without Barbara's help. It is SO much nicer! I have had so many patients commenting on the dental practice and even expressing interest of installing the same floor for their houses. What a great interior designer and experience!!!
