Within five minutes of walking in the room, she already had good recommendations on what would work better. I tried her suggestions and it looks great.

Jill stepped in to help me with my tee-tiny 400 sq foot apartment, which has a lot of logistical…read morechallenges. Furniture needed to fit together just right, and available storage was very limited. I also wanted to refresh my interior style and replace all my IKEA pieces with better-made ones, but was also working on a budget. After getting a total brain cramp from trying to figure it out on my own, I reached out to Jill after reading her great Yelp reviews. Jill's thoughtful design of my limited space (literally, down to the inch) allowed me to fit in all the seating and storage space I need and still keep the space airy and open. Her knowledge of the best stores, manufacturers and styles for my vision and budget ended up saving me a lot of money and headaches in the long run. We've had a lot of fun working together with Pinterest boards, sharing ideas and looking at colors. Not only has Jill helped with this project enormously, but she taught me so much about decorating and design in the process. And her price is certainly fair for a professional service. I've been recommending Jill to every friend who moves in to a new place. If you're considering getting help with your home, definitely call her for a consultation!

We really lucked out in finding Jill when we moved to the city a few months ago. We arrived with…read morebasically nothing and had no idea what to do with our new apartment. For weeks we lived on an air mattress and plastic folding chairs, then one day we found Jill's awesome website and gave her a call. She came over, saw our sad state of affairs and got to work immediately. From the beginning, Jill really got what we liked and didn't like, helped us organize and clarify our sometimes vague and scattered ideas, and was very accurate in estimating our costs and timeline. She was hands-on and responsive, and she took a lot of pressure off us by arranging painters, handymen and furniture orders. Jill is so great at what she does. In a short period of time, she transformed our ho-hum empty apartment into an awesome space that's totally comfortable yet always ready for a fancy party. We love having people over now! Thanks, Jill!

Our home is beautiful, comfortable, fits our own design tastes and preferences perfectly, and gets nothing but compliments from our visitors. Mady made every step of the process easy, seemed to have an instant intuition of our likes and dislikes, and always gave just enough, but not too many, choices for all of our upgrades and installations. She has an extensive list of contacts for every aspect of the design process, and took care of all communication and scheduling. She worked outstandingly well with both the architect and the contractor, and even made suggestions to the architect which he incorporated into his final design. Mady followed through on all details of the interior design project, letting absolutely nothing slip through the cracks. Best of all, she is great company and keeps everything fun and upbeat throughout the process. I highly recommend her to anyone considering a renovation or house makeover.

Lynda and Richard were easy to work with (even during this pandemic) and helped me make all the important decisions to get it done. I would probably still be shopping for flooring if I hadn't found them. They helped me put my money where it should go, keeping my design style in mind and basic to last. I would highly recommend their design services to anyone!

She's very knowledgeable when it comes to anything about design if that may be furniture design for the room, paint styles and colors and takes all into consideration to get you the best result. Had a lot of suggestions for us that we ended up going with that gave us a way better outcome than what we originally thought we wanted.

The custom fuchsia pink lime wash finish has incredible depth and movement, creating a rich, artistic backdrop. The gold metallic stencils layered throughout the walls add the perfect touch of elegance and sophistication, giving the studio a unique designer feel.

The space now feels vibrant, inspiring, and perfectly aligned with my luxury fashion brand.

If I could give a 10, I would. I recently sold my Mothers Condo in Emeryville in Watergate. This…read morewas my second experience with Signe. Over a decade ago I worked with Signe to stage our Alamo home to sell. Signe really helped us give it the WOW factor and we sold in a down market at asking price. When it came time to sell the Emeryville Condo I called Signe immediately. Signe has the gift of adding the "this is what I want to live in" factor. She came out and walked the unit, gave me a very fair price, was so easy to work with, She got the staging done quickly for us to go on the market and was very careful in bringing the furniture in not to do any damage. Signe is a true artist, the furniture, placement, art, and accessories highlighted the features of the condo. One thing you can't really see in the photos of the staging is Signe's amzing use of textures. Every element featured textures to add richness and warmth. The condo sold to one of the first showings in less than 4 days and the staging was so fabulous the buyers asked to be put in contact with Signe so they could purchase some of the staging furniture! Signe is so very easy to work with, she takes sellers requests into consideration in the staging she does and stays current on trends and what the market is doing to help sellers get to SOLD. Hire SIgne for your staging needs, you won't regret it. Last added thing Signes team also patches and nail holes in the walls after de-staging which was a huge bonus for me that I didnt have to go in and do that.

We considered a few different staging companies and Signe stood out from the rest as she paid most attention to the details and came up with the best tailored staging plan for our house. Not every house in the same and she stages them accordingly. She added a lot of visual appeal to our house and it sold for a bit over asking. I would definitely use her again for our next sale.

We are so happy that we engaged Jentry McGraw as our lead design consultant on our new home…read moreconstruction! The process was straightforward. - Jenny first took the time to understand our preferences (actually, helped us learn what we liked!). For each design decision, several selection options were presented, at various price points. Once our selections were made, she really worked to make sure that the delivered items and as-built installations were executed as intended - working with our contractors (pushing and insisting!) when the result was not up to par or as designed. This was invaluable, as we were living on the opposite coast during construction! Jentry McGraw helped us with selection of every interior and exterior color and finish, with flooring, cabinetry, plumbing fixtures, lighting, tile, appliances, floor coverings and furniture. A bonus, my wife joined Jenny and one of her staff members on their annual North Carolina showroom tour, spending a couple of days seeking inspiration for the key furniture and decor pieces!

We had not previously used a designer on our small home renovation projects, but knew that we…read moredidn't have the skill set to tackle our newly-completed downstairs remodel without help. We found Jenny and her team via her online portfolio, and it was immediately clear that we hit the jackpot with her. Our project included removing a weight-bearing wall to open up the kitchen and dining room, and expanding the kitchen into the adjacent laundry room and powder room, significantly altering the layout of our downstairs. We also replaced the downstairs flooring and lighting, and converted a wood burning fireplace into a beautiful focal point with a built in gas fireplace. When we saw the value that Jenny brings to a project, we also renovated 3 bedroom closets, and replaced baseboard, trim, paint, and fixtures in the primary bedroom. Jenny and her team are beyond amazing. They organized an extensive scope of work, clarifying who was responsible for each step, whether builder, her team, or client. She followed up on every detail, handled all the vendors, and kept to the ambitious timeline. Jenny quickly got a sense of our taste, and presented beautiful design options each step of the way. We feel our final project is truly ours, reflecting us perfectly, though we never had to go to a tile store or home furnishing shop, which we had clarified was our preference. The Jentry McGraw team was on-site weekly during construction, and Jenny used her excellent people skills and rapport with our builders to settle for nothing short of excellence. This included fine attention to detail and positioning of built-in features, things that I could not envision in the building phase, but definitely would have noticed being askew or off-center in the final build. We are absolutely thrilled with our final project, and know without a doubt that we could not have accomplished it without Jenny and her team. We feel great about having invested in a designer to guide our project. We'll use Jenny and her team for any of our renovations going forward; they are absolutely awesome!
