Dear Jill,

My wife and I are very glad to be a source of recommendations and referral for your services. We went through a rather extensive search to find a reliable and competent interior decorator to take over the task of finishing and furnishing our new condo at The Colony in Bonita Springs.

We were very pleased with your low key but to the point approach and your eye for value without giving up on good looks and quality in line with our taste and budget.

The project was completed on agreed upon time line while we had the flexibility to adjust as we went along and in line with your suggestions on additions or changes from the original project limits.

Our unit looks great, feels great, and we look forward to spending more time there now that it is so comfortable and relaxing to be there.

Please feel free to have potential clients of yours call us if you so desire.

Regards,

H.A. and G.A.

Jill decorated our 2300 sq.ft. condominium at TwinEagles in Naples.  We live up north and were delighted that Jill was able to furnish the entire condo in our absence, communicating with us primarily over the internet and occasionally by telephone.  Because of the work that Jill did, we were able to enjoy our condo right away without having to spend our holidays and vacations over many months, if not years, looking for furniture, shopping for household goods, arranging for deliveries, dealing with trades people and all the other many things that need to be done when furnishing a residence.  Jill took care of it all.  Her process was to send us pictures and website links for alternatives for furniture, floor and window coverings and the like.  Based on the choices we made from the alternatives she provided, Jill was quickly able to assess the styles that would appeal to us, and also to choose companion items that complemented the major pieces.  We were so delighted when we came down for our first holiday after purchasing the condo to find that every decision she had made was the right one!  Not only had Jill  selected the furnishings but she had also put thought into decorative elements that made it feel like home right away.  She provided prompt, reliable, and dedicated service throughout the whole project, and made it easy for us in every way. It was a pleasure to deal with Jill in every way.  We love the results and would highly recommend Jill to anyone seeking interior decorating services in Naples.

Window Treatments!!  Painting!!  Both decisions were so overwhelming, I decided to give myself the gift of help.  I had seen Jill’s ad in a local flyer and decided that I needed to get some expert advice.  When I met Jill, I knew that I had met the right person.  I was immediately struck by her excellent listening skills and her gentle manner in encouraging me to look at different ideas for our home.  Everything that Jill helped us choose for painting and window treatments was exactly what we needed.  I also appreciated that I could trust Jill to come into our home when we were not in Florida and the work would be completed without a problem.  I am so grateful to Jill for taking this stress out of my life and for making our home look so elegant.

We hired Jill Barlow to do the interior design as we moved our Ohio “stuff” to Florida.  Jill made design plans working with our existing art, furniture, etc. adding pieces as needed.  She helped us with light fixtures and color coordination and carried out project supervision of carpenters, plumbers, and electricians, making sure the job was done right.  She was very professional throughout the job, finding ways to minimize the cost, but not jeopardize the quality.  She consistently added a small touch here and small touch there that somehow/someway pulled everything together.  Jill is one of the most honest, hardworking, dependable professionals that I have ever worked with.  I highly recommend her talents as an interior designer.
