INTERIOR DESIGN RENOVATION NEW CONSTRUCTION
WHAT THE CLIENT'S ARE SAYING...
"When I first met Jennifer at my Bergen County, New Jersey home, there was an instant connection. I knew that choosing her to work with me as my interior designer was going to be a fun, awesome, and successful journey. Having come from a more traditional home for over 30 years, my new home is transitional, with an external french country style and an interior contemporary vibe. This is quite the challenge for me, but Jen's fantastic design instincts and sensibilities have allowed by home to blossom into a beautiful, sophisticated and warm environment. Jen has not only been creative with her ideas, mixing various elements of old and new, but she has also been conscious of my budget and tastes. We have such a wonderful working relationship. Jen is always thinking of my home, often sending me pictures of various items that would work well. She is quite resourceful, listens carefully, and knows how to pull a room together. Jennifer exudes professionalism, while exemplifying warmth, fun, and excitement in her work. Now that she has moved to South Carolina, our working relationship has continued to flourish, despite the distance. If I could give her 20 stars out of 10, I would. What a talented designer!!! Jen, you are a dream!!!!

My wife and I recently moved from an old, three story, 1870’s house in historic downtown Charleston, South Carolina to a very modern, 2,000 square foot apartment across the river from the city. The apartment was lovely, but we didn’t like how we had staged the furniture we had brought with us and, we had no clue what we needed or, how we ultimately wanted the place to look. Jennifer Vreeland (Jen) of JV Design was recommended by a friend and from our first meeting we knew we had found someone with a keen ear for listening to her clients and who came armed with great ideas.
The apartment has a shotgun style living room, dining room and kitchen layout. It has two full baths, a primary and guest bedroom, a small office, and a long entry hall. Jen recommended a beautiful rug, a shaker bench and an L shaped sofa with a chaise lounge for the living room. She also recommended placement for our artwork on the walls. She gave recommendations for furniture placement in the bedrooms as well as where we should hang more of our artwork. This included creating a gallery of framed sailboat racing pictures and awards I had gathered from my days of racing. She also quickly and effectively procured all the pieces needed to complete the design.
One of our favorite “Jen designs” is a gallery in the long entry corridor. My wife and I recently visited Havana during the annual Cuban Jazz Festival. Jen pitched the idea of show casing the festival’s colorful poster along with three photos from the trip. The photos show us in downtown Havana posing in front of a pink,1963 Pontiac Bonneville convertible in which we had toured the City. Jen had the photos enlarged, matted and framed. The photos and the poster will hang with an contemporary advertisement for Havana Club rum that is framed in wood from late 19 th century Cuba.
We love the overall finished design; it looks polished but not stuffy and Jen artfully integrated our love of travel and sailing throughout the apartment. Our niece’s first comment was that it looks like a page in a design magazine."

"Absolutely adore working with Jennifer! She's incredibly sweet and a breeze to collaborate with. She effortlessly takes charge of picking decor, styling rooms, and adjusting props with an eye for camera angles, which results in amazing photos. She offers a wide range of color, texture, and pattern options for each room, giving them a unique style. Not to mention, she respects our budget, especially with the elegant floral arrangements she flawlessly selects. Our lives have been made so much simpler thanks to her expertise. Would highly recommend working with Jennifer to uplevel your photo shoots and give them that finishing touch! "

"I highly recommend Jennifer Vreeland of JV Design to anyone looking for a designer who they can trust to produce a beautiful result in their home. My husband and I wanted to transform our kitchen that would stand the test of time and would have a touch of class and luxury. The kitchen renovation, with her design strategy, exceeded our expectations. She saw our vision and made it a stunning reality. Jennifer went above and begond advising on colors, lighting, fixtures, quartz countertops and backsplash, and accessories. In addition, she worked with me on lighting fixtures, doors and artwork and a rug for our back hallway and brought it to life. I have used designers in the past and I have to say she is the best in the business. We can't say enough about her experience and how easy she is to work with when it comes to design."

"I have been incredibly lucky to collaborate with Jen on several projects while producing and directing shoots for This Old House. Jen always brings her “A Game” in every way. She is well prepared, thoughtful and has a great eye making sure each detail is on point, and in line with the client’s goals. In addition to her fantastic styling and design, Jen is an absolute joy to work with, and I always look forward to set days where I know we can join forces."

"Jennifer worked with us on a whole house renovation following a fire. The project took a year to complete, mostly due to mandated shutdowns caused by the pandemic. There were also supply chain issues, which she expertly navigated.
In any case, our experience was exceptional. Jennifer did a fantastic job working with our contractor, Arthur Lange Inc. She was on top of all aspects of the job. We met with the kitchen cabinet designer, and Jennifer was very helpful sorting through the wide range of options.
Her design sense is incredible, we were so glad we listened to her, even when we were not sure how it would turn out. An example of this was the custom paint design on our attic stairs.
She will work on any budget you select and will show a range of options.
She follows up in case anything is delivered damaged.
Highly highly recommend working with Jennifer."

"While filming Season 5 of Property Brothers in Westchester County, we were very pleased to have Jennifer on board as one of our Design Leads. It is a notoriously challenging position – Jennifer impressed us with everything she brought to the table– she has a keen eye for detail and the ability to remain calm under pressure. The final hours of a renovation project can make or break an episode of our show, and Jennifer proved herself to be a goal-oriented team player who kept focused and composed until the big reveal."
-Jonathan Scott & Drew Scott, Property Brothers Team
"Furnishing our home was particularly challenging for us; it's a contemporary structure that affords us a lot of light and openness, but my husband and I are traditional at heart. Jennifer knew how to masterfully blend the different styles to make it work and give us the look we wanted. Our home is now our oasis. She has made it the perfect retreat, both serene and beautiful. We look forward to coming home!"
-Denise V., New Jersey
"Working with Jennifer has been absolutely amazing. She designed our dream home, and included everything a young family needs- practicality, functionality, and an excellent use of space. She made our dream become reality. We got everything we wanted and more. She is efficient, punctual, and organized. There were no hidden costs or unexpected expenses. Doing a home renovation can be a daunting task, but Jennifer's professionalism, experience, and wonderful eye made it a thoroughly enjoyable experience."
-Victoria D., New York
"I’ve worked with Jennifer for over 10 years, and “can’t” isn’t in her vocabulary. She can manage a project while delivering on strategy, budget, design and execution. She truly excels in multitasking, and working well under pressure is one of her great talents. Being diplomatic and professional are a few other qualities that have been factors in her success. Jennifer is indispensable, and is a major asset on every project."

"After my mother passed away, renovating and updating my parent’s house so my family could move in with my father seemed like a very sad and daunting task. Jennifer listened and understood what my vision was while also taking my father’s wishes into consideration. When she presented me with her ideas, furniture, color choices and fabrics, she always provided a multitude of choices and I loved everything. I began to enjoy the process! She was very respectful of our budget and she was willing to work with our people. She didn’t require us to work with her contacts. Jennifer was always available to take my phone calls and address any uncertainty I had along the way. Our home is absolutely beautiful, warm and welcoming...exactly what I wanted."

"I worked with Jennifer over the course of several months to complete two bathroom renovations. I could never have gotten through it all without her! Jennifer is not only reliable and professional, she is outgoing, open-minded and optimistic – just a true pleasure to know and to work with.
Jennifer is extremely knowledgeable about both design and renovation. Her expertise was invaluable when selecting materials like tile, countertop, fixtures and paint. She is also very skilled – creating a completely new floor plan for my master bath (including the relocation of the vanity, toilet and shower). She designed several options – all with detailed sketches for review.
When it comes to style and creativity, Jennifer far exceeded my expectations. She was so perceptive to my personal taste – everything she suggested reflected my own style and personality. She introduced me to wonderful ideas and products I would never have considered. Her attention to all the many details –moldings, lighting, artwork, window treatments to name a few – came together to create two spaces I could only have dreamed of without her!"

"From the first phone call I had with Faith Ferguson Productions to discuss my twin daughter’ Sweet 16, I knew I was in good hands. I can’t thank Faith and Jennifer enough for everything they did to make Jordan and Ryann’s Sweet 16 a special memory. Faith and Jennifer were such a pleasure to work with. They made sure that my daughters were happy with every detail. I had no doubt the party was going to be special, but it exceeded our expectations in every way. Everything was absoutely perfect!"
- Robin Mitchell, New York
"Working with Jennifer was an absolutely wonderful experience. I showed her "inspiration" photos for what I wanted and she nailed every little detail. She truly transformed my space into my dream home. When friends and family walk into my house they are blown away. She worked within our budget and was flexible, swapping out more expensive pieces for less expensive options when necessary. She genuinely cared about what we wanted and making our home into the cozy, yet sophisticated family space that we envisioned. From the curtain and pillow fabrics to paint colors and light fixtures - everything she picked was perfect. Everyone who walks in my house ends up leaving wanting to redecorate their own. I was so lucky to find Jennifer and would recommend her to anyone!"
- Julie K., New York
"We were very fortunate to have Jennifer work with us to design our new master bedroom. Right from the beginning she had the right vision that worked perfectly with the modern design we had in mind. She worked closely with our contractor before and during the renovation to ensure it was all coming together perfectly. Our bedroom is now fully transformed and we have our own master retreat thanks to Jennifer. We continued to work with her on our living room and dining room where she helped us pull the space together and proved that she is versatile and can work with different styles. Jennifer is very resourceful and knows exactly where to shop for the right furniture and accessories. One thing we can say is that she listens and truly cares; she will treat your home like she is designing her own. Jennifer is truly a talented designer and we highly recommend working with her."
