Jane Ellen Interiors

The best thing that I did when I wanted to remodel was to hire Jane as my consultant ! I was very happy with all of her ideas and the end result. I recommend her to anyone who wants high quality work and a superb job.

Jane has done two remodel projects for me in the last 10 years and her ability to turn my ideas and vision into reality is amazing! I would highly recommend her for any design work as she will not disappoint! Very pleased would definately use her in the future!

I met Jane through our general contractor. She was part of our project from the beginning as we tried to figure out exactly how we wanted our house to change. I enjoyed working with her because she is a good listener, though she is not afraid to give her honest opinion. She didn't try to sway me if I had a strong feeling on a point, but she did offer alternative ideas that made me consider how strongly I felt and helped me fine tune the look we wanted. She went with me to choose tile, carpet, colors and lighting. She worked overtime online to send us a short list of options that met our criteria because the sheer volume of choices overwhelmed me and I would have been stuck otherwise. The contractor gave Jane the budget for each category she was working with us on, and that worked very well. She never tried to upsell us on anything - she worked with us. At the start of our project I was determined to change as little as possible, but Jane helped me see that changing the color of the trim, for example, lightened everything up and improved the final effect of every part of the project. Our contractor was on board with that and the initial budget covered everything.

To Whom It May Concern: It is my privilege to write this review for Jane. I don’t write much and lack social media accounts/skills, however, my experience needs to be proclaimed to anyone considering remodeling or decorating. I own and manage, with my daughter, a 23-room apartment-hotel on Catalina Island. Located 26 miles off Long Beach, CA it was difficult to find a person willing to travel. Our goal was to re-brand the property, now known as the Catalina Boat House. Jane was creative and helped us to tell the story of this nearly 100 year old property. Her sense of appropriateness and detail was sometimes questioned by me but Jane always turned out to be right on the mark. Jane selected interior and exterior color combinations, fabrics for drapery, and in many instances found sources for particulars such as comforters, lighting fixtures, furniture and so much more. By the time the project was ready to go from concept to production Jane had provided a notebook with material and paint swatches, a room by room description of modifications to be done, and tear pages of products. Along the way, through-out the project, Jane continued to advise. The end result was astonishing and so much more than we could have imagined. The building has never looked so cute. It now makes more money than we ever had experienced, which is due in large part to the attractiveness of the exterior and interior of the units. This success was so outstanding that my wife and I enlisted Jane’s help in re-making the kitchen in our historic Long Beach home. The space was enlarged to include a breakfast table overlooking our rear yard. The cabinetry was made to order with the top row having display glass. The appliances match perfectly and now our home is much more livable and is in fact, a show piece. In closing, I have learned a lot about decorating, color, sizing, and trust. As a property owner and contractor I thought I knew how to select these things. Well, I do. However, there is a significant difference between what I’ve done in the past and a skilled professional, like Jane. Using an experienced and talented designer will make the difference, one that creates enjoyment and pride as well as an investment that will have returns at time of sale. If there are any questions or concerns that can I can address for you in reference to Jane Ellen Interiors and my experience working with Jane, please feel free to contact me directly.

I have enjoyed having Jane help me (lead me, really!) on several home remodel projects. Jane is energetic and delightful and magnificent cultivating grand ideas, and suggesting most appropriate colors. Every detail is perfect! I have recommended Jane to others, including my mother-in-law, who was equally pleased!

Jane is a joy to work with. She has a wonderful eye for style and color. She incorporated my ideas, refined them and made it all look marvelous while staying within my budget . I could not be more pleased with the results.

We've never worked with a interior designer before. She's great! We are currently working on a remodel changing our segmented 80's house into a more open feeling. She was able to come up with a great design and added a powder room, laundry and pantry which we hadn't even considered. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and have!

Jane is always a pleasure to work with. Her integrity and designs make working with Jane enjoyable. Lloyd Martindale C&K Custom Remodeling
