• Jo is a kind & caring person.  She also has impeccable taste.  She has worked with my husband & me to design several rooms in our home over the past year... Jo has always worked to provide plans that were well within our budget.  She also worked with us to choose pieces that would maintain the "feel" of our home.  My job & family keep me very busy, so I have limited time to be able to spend on design details.  After the completion of our bedroom, I became so comfortable with Jo's work that I ultimately trusted her to pick out items without first seeing them.  That is the ultimate compliment to her from me. --- Cynthia K. Rigsby

Dear Josephine,

We want to thank you for all the terrific design work you have done for us over the past year.  To say the "we love where we live" is an understatement.  Our "house" has been transformed into our "home" with your help.  We loved that you designed for the faux painting, the window treatments, the furniture, light fixtures, custom rugs & the artwork.  Each room is so unique & interesting! ...Jeff and I want to thank you for all you have done for us.  We feel that you captured our likes and our tastes & reflected them in our home.  We wanted a relaxed & comfortable retreat to call home, and you helped us accomplish that.  We enjoyed every visit with you, and now that we are done, we miss you!  In addition to being a wonderful designer, you are a wonderful person. --- Karen & Jeff Dickman

  • Every room Josephine has worked on with me has turned out exquisite.  She was able to understand my style & incorporated it into her designs of the rooms.  I never thought I could work with a designer that could make it affordable but Josephine was able to work within my budget -- Briana Mundt

LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE.

Dear Jo,

I want to tell you how pleased Jan & I are with your work in designing our kitchen.  Your creative talents are beyond belief as well as your organizational skills & ability to make the process happen on time & within budget.  I have never worked with a designer that understood the clients ideas so quickly & molded them into a total package far exceeding our expectations.

Being in the design field myself, I have worked with a large number of interior designers & I would have to place your work far above the creative skills of the best in the interior design field...Thank you again for the great job.  We are looking forward to our next project with your excellent taste, design skills & leadership.  You have become a part of our family.

--- John A. Looby
