TESTIMONIALS

As the owner of a high-end residential remodeling company, I have worked with many clients, sub-contractors, architects, designers, ect and would consider myself a pretty good judge of character.

Jona Collins has engaged in interior design with the highest degree of professionalism and knowledge since we have been working with her. Jona is very easy to work with, has a great rapport with my employees and sub-contractors, and is always on top of her part of the project. From room layout to paint colors to tile design, Jona has helped our projects run smoothly from start to finish.

I will continue to recommend Jona and her abilities to future clients.

I met Jona Collins one year ago when I hired her to assist us with decorating our new home. We had just relocated to California from Pennsylvania and had a number of furnishings we brought with us that we wanted to use in this house, which is a different style from the one we left behind. We also needed quite a few new things. I knew that to achieve a cohesive and beautiful look in our new house would require a creative and resourceful designer with the ability to juggle many aspects of a complex job. Jona has delivered on all this and more.

From an interior design standpoint, Jona has brought the complete package of the decorating skills to bear on each aspect of our job. She is highly creative and has an extraordinary ability to see both the big picture and the smallest level of detail clearly. She has a great eye for color and scale and is effective at working with the items we already have but also finding new things in order to create the look we desire. Jona has numerous resources and is able to provide assistance on procuring virtually anything we need for our home at a variety of price points. She has worked with us on rugs, furnishings, new window treatments, reworking window treatments we brought from our former house, plants and accessories. She is accomplished at achieving a discrete look in each room that simultaneously relates well to the other rooms in the house. She has been invaluable to us in transforming our new house into a home we find both beautiful and livable by helping us to visualize the possibilities and then systematically realize them, one layer at a time.

In addition to being highly creative, skilled, resourceful, talented, organized, quality conscious and, in short, a consummate professional, Jona is fun to work with. Over the course of our project so far I have spent over forty hours consulting with her and it has been my pleasure. She brings great, positive energy to every task, obviously loves what she does, and employs her passions and enthusiasm on the job everyday. She is warm, personable and a delight to work with.

I have been in the "To the trade" Custom Upholstered furniture business for the past 30 years. In that time I have seen many interior designers and feel confident making my observations about Jona Collins.

In the six years we have worked with Jona, we believe she is a women of high character; she has always exhibited a high level of professionalism on the projects she has involved our company in.

In association with Jona, we have been able to provide furniture on a variety of complex projects including developing her design ideas on a wide range of styles for her varying clients. Her ability to design interiors is expansive to even include a line of furniture she has designed.

Based on our experience in working with Jona Collins, I believe she will continue to provide a high level of professionalism to the interior design industry.

I have known Jona Collins as my interior designer for 7 years. Instantly, I was impressed with her knowledge, warm personality, patience and ideas. When I learned that she was starting her own design business, I followed her.

Over the years, Jona has helped me make many decisions on most rooms in our home. Our largest project that we have undertaken with her was our kitchen remodel. At first we were only using a reface company, then realized we didn't have anyone to assist us with the overall picture. We called Jona and she was the savior on this project. She worked professionally and cooperatively with every member of the team. Often, she was more prepared than the staff from the company we hired. Overwhelmed by the choices in tile, counter surfaces, color scheme and décor for the finished product, Jona was wonderful in her patience with my decisions.

I have referred Jona many times. Feedback I have received from those who have used her have been very positive. I highly recommend Jona.

I find Jona Collins to be a "true gem!" Her aura of professionalism and knowledge of style is accurately portrayed in what she has achieved in the interior of our home.

Following our first consultation in our home she followed through with a wide range of appropriate and beautiful choices. Within that selection of just the second visit, she captured the look of the textures, fabrics and overall "feel" of what I was imagining. Simultaneously, I must add, for several rooms throughout the house! In the undertaking of this project Jona was both efficient and creative. Truly above and beyond!

It is not cliché to add that Jona transformed the look of our living, dining and master bedroom areas. (With more to follow!) With a very busy family life, I had been living with "a picture in my mind" of what I intended to come home to for three years! Jona worked to quickly and accurately bring out our home's potential. It is her true talent to "carry around" these visions, colors and textures and ultimately bring them to reality!

I continue to welcome her professional ideas, trust her opinions, and would recommend her without exception!
