This was our first time hiring a designer, and we could not be happier with the results! From the beginning, Jennifer was on my page with style, upgrades and budget. Her suggestions were spot on, and every sample that arrived was perfection. She nailed it! Jennifer worked so hard to make our space perfect down to the finishing touches. She was responsive during and after the entire process, and was always able to answer my questions. Not to mention, she was so fun to work with! I cant wait for our next project with her! Highly recommend.

Using Jennifer of Duck Egg Blue completely changed my experience of updating my house. All the dread was taken away. I used her services firstly for a kitchen renovation and then a bathroom remodeling. I kind of knew what I liked from photos of kitchens i'd seen in magazines but not having much creativity or vision of my own, I didn't really know where to start. That's where Duck Egg Blue came to the rescue. We worked closely to a budget and Jennifer used her great sense of style and interior design skills to show me how the kitchen could look. I am not the kind of person who enjoys choosing faucets

I had the pleasure of working with Jennifer on a recent renovation from construction to finishing touches. Jennifer provided valuable insights during the construction phase to enhance the functionality and beauty of the primary bedroom, bathroom and walk in closet. Her design layouts, color and piece selections, were thoughtful and in line with the project goals. I am extremely happy with the completed rooms and best of all she stayed on budget. I highly recommend Jennifer.
