Like other reviewers, I was at first skeptical that our living areas could improve so dramatically, especially since I was having trouble identifying for Jan what I felt the room lacked. All I knew was that it didn't feel as "put together" as I wanted it to feel. Plus there were baby toys all over the place and a playpen to deal with. On the morning of the scheduled makeover I had a moment of doubt. Would all this effort simply amount to an expensive and useless rearrangement of knickknacks for which I would be later kicking myself? I mean, surely it would be too much to expect a made-for-TV moment where I'd walk in the door and be amazed. That afternoon I walked in the door -- and was amazed. I couldn't believe it. Jan really does have a gift for taking things you already own and arranging them in fresh, attractive, and functional ways. Just about every piece of furniture we own came from a garage sale, thrift store, auction, or the classifieds. But nothing looks random anymore. It all looks purposeful and coordinated. Even the playpen no longer looks like an eyesore, and the baby toys are organized, yet accessible. I mean, it's true that for the fee I paid I could have bought a new piece of furniture. But honestly, the addition of yet another random piece, albeit new, would have done nothing to improve the room overall. Plus, with a new baby and a busy job, I'm not sure that I would ever have gotten around to figuring out how to pull it all together myself. We're just regular people with busy lives and modest incomes, but Jan's services were an investment that I'm glad we made. Now plan on budgeting for her to come help us with other areas of our house so that we can feel proud and relaxed to have friends and family over and really enjoy our home. It's worth it.

My wife and I were recently married and decided to treat ourselves to a room makeover. Our goal is to buy a new home in the next six to nine months but wanted to buy time to decide which neighborhood to live as well to save money for a down payment. This seemed like a perfect way to tide us over. We have a large master bedroom that is an odd shape. We've tried every different furniture configuration, and the room either looks barren or lopsided. Jan did a terrific job at giving us a fresh perspective as well as a room that is perfect, truly a master retreat. The room is now very balanced, appears spacious, and uncluttered. It's amazing how the room has been transformed. The best part is that it was economical because she used our existing furniture and decorations (some of them borrowed from other parts of the house). I would highly recommend Jan, and we have plans to bring her back to tackle the next room. I'm at work this morning and can't wait to go home to enjoy the new bedroom. David and Marisa Mireles
