Jill the owner/designer was really good at listening to what we liked, working with us to find an overall theme and direction for the remodel, and helped politely push us "out of the box" in new directions. She was open and honest with us always. Jill is extremely well informed on styles and trends, what will last and what wont. She is very well connected to local and online vendors and contractors. We will be returning to work with Jill in the future!

I have been planning a home remodel for a couple of years and new I needed help with putting it all together. I had met with another designer but when it came time to start my process I realized I was not happy with the interaction with the other designer so I researched online and found Nine Design Group. I met with Jill and immediately liked her and felt she new what I wanted and could help me through the process. The first time we met to "shop" for various items, I knew I had made the right decision when we both picked the same floor tile during separate shopping trips.



We are 99% complete with remodeling and redesigning and I am so thankful Jill was there to help me with an enormous amount of decisions. Many times I told Jill to pick something for me because I trusted her so much. At times I wasn't sure I liked things and we made a few changes but usually once things were put together I could see the vision that she had to make my home what I asked her to help me do. She always responds promptly and would notice things about the remodel that I had missed.



Unfortunately I had difficulties with my contractor and Jill helped with the communication problems to keep things on track as much as possible.



Thank you Jill for all your wonderful help and making my vision of my home come true!!

Response from Nine Design Group
"The client worked with my colleague, who left Nine Design in December 2013. This colleague was very responsive. I don't know if this email was not received or accidently overlooked, but I'm sure it was not on purpose. I wish the client would have given my colleague the benefit of the doubt and followed up with another email. An ill review nearly a year later is very upsetting; she and I work(ed) extremely hard to respond timely. Our clients are our business and are treated with respect."

It went very well.  She was polite, friendly, and on time.  She helped us pick out colors we love.  We would not have been able to figure out what we wanted without her help in deciding what appealed most to us.  She went from room to room and had many different samples for us to try.  She even left samples with us that we were able to take to a paint place and have made up.  She gave us advice and answered our question as they came up - including rug sizes for a room, where it would be most appropriate to use bolder colors.  She gave us a list of places we could look for accessories and rugs with good prices.  The only thing that lacked was that she said she would send us a list of the things we talked about in email.  I never received this.  She took down my email, but also has my phone number.  I could call her just as easily, but I was a little disappointed this was forgotten or not attended to.

EDIT:  The provider did send me the intended email.  Gmail will always bounce back for this sort of misspelling, tested it myself.  However, I do believe the email was intended for me close to the time we had our consultation and would consider this to be a miscommunication.  Overall, we are very happy with the provider.
Response from Nine Design Group
"I did send an email to the client that evening, but misspelled the email address. Unfortunately, the email did not bounce back, so I assumed it had been received. Based on this review, I did correct this error and forwarded the client the email where I detailed places to shop for tile, rugs, accessories along with their paint schedule."

We found Jill from Nine Design Group right here on Angie's List. We started a large project and found that we quickly got overwhelmed with the number of decisions that were facing us. We called Jill and she responded to us promptly! She came out to the house and we immediately knew that we had called the right designer. She is such a good listener, patient and full of great ideas. She has amazing taste, she is conscious of the budget and found creative solutions along the way! Whether it was questions on color, textiles, granite or tile, she always gave us options and/or suggestions that we loved! We are preparing to start another project and are looking forward to working with her again! I have recommended her to friends and family! She is simply the BEST!

Outstanding experience.  We had a discussion about interior design questions I had. Offered wonderful solutions.  She was professional and right to the point for my needs.  I really liked her a lot.  She helped with paint selection and even offered her discount at a couple stores so I could get supplies.

Jill was wonderful. She adapts and works well with client's individual style. She made very good recommendations and helped arrange for window treatments to be made. I will work with her again!

The process went fairly smoothly for a redesign with putting in a hand laid wood floor, all new furniture, ripping out the front of the fireplace and adding an antique mantel and stacked stone and tile, retiling the backsplash in the kitchen, redoing the lighting in the kitchen and breakfast rooms, and adding windows to the kitchen.  Jill was a dream to work with and worth every penny.  The house turned out better than I ever could have dreamed!

I have been working with Jill since January.  She has expertly guided me with many of the selections and decisions necessary to get this house built.  Jill also follows up with a detailed report listing all of the pertinent information on each of the selections.  Jill has accompanied me to various vendors and helped explain the advantages and disadvantages of a possible selection.  She has also advised me with the placement of furniture.  I have asked a million questions and she always has helpful answers.  This project is on going and I plan on working with Jill for awhile..

We hired Jill to help us make some decorating decisions overall, with the focus on transforming our bland fireplace wall. We had our own thoughts, but her guidance, insight and team of experts, made what could have been a nerve racking process, not only seamless, but truly a pleasure.
Since we're new to the area, we had no idea who to tap into for the various aspects of the project we had in mind.  Jill's advice and team of experts made the process run smoothly.
Adam with Spradling & Son's was professional and started the project, with his carpentry expertise.
Reid with Decker Electric saved us by staying on track until the job was done, helping us move forward with the project.
Cesar Adame (flooring & tile) did a masterful job of the stonework for our fireplace wall.
Eli's Carpet Service came in with a crew, tacked down the carpet, with speed and efficiency.
Mike Brace, carpenter/fix it guy, helped install a stained glass window and wine rack. 
It was a great feeling having caring and talented people helping!!
Each of the above were kind, professional and seemed to care about what they did.
We have some other projects in mind for the future. Without question we will reach out to Jill again!!

Although it was high in price for an hour consultation, I did get a professional's opinions about some issues.  That was valuable.

Jill is FABULOUS!! I am remodeling my kitchen (painting cabinets, countertops, backsplash, appliances, lighting, etc.) and the thought of having to make all of these decisions by myself overwhelmed me. I met with one of her employees in the fall to help give me a direction. I was concerned that I may not be able to afford a designer with my budget, but she assured me we could make it as expensive (she goes to all of the stores with me to pick materials, etc) or as affordable (we could meet for an hour or two, have her give me a plan, then I do all the legwork) as I desired. I chose to do all of the legwork myself. Because of the holidays I had to put get project aside and finally began working on it January 2014. I called Jill for a follow up appointment to make sure the materials I chose worked together, choose paint colors, light fixtures, appliances, and help me find a place to do a reclaimed wood island. She is awesome. In a short amount of time she helped me finalize EVERYTHING. She spoke with the company she gets tile through to see if she could get it cheaper than I found it, emailed her contact to get me prices for appliances that might be cheaper than what I found (I haven't received that yet so I can't say if it was cheaper, but in all fairness, she just left a few hours ago), found me a light fixture for both my kitchen and dining room, select a paint color for cabinets and walls, and even helped me with the accessories in the room. Did I mention she is awesome? It was such a lifesaver as I am a mom of 4 year old twins and have precious little free time to do this kind of project. I would recommend Jill to any and everyone I know. She is fast, efficient, extremely talented and fun to work with. Regardless of your budget, you cannot afford NOT to hire her.

After I tried 15 paint colors, I was done.  I called Nine Design Group and made an appointment.  After showing her around, Kelli picked out the paint colors; I went and got paint samples, and they were perfect!  She also looked over the fixtures I ordered and made changes that made a lot of sense to me.  I don't live in a mansion, just a simple ranch home.  I'm glad I didn't feel intimidated and called Nine Design Group!

Jill is quick and efficient. She listens carefully and has fantastic suggestions without pushing her ideas onto you. She helped with every element of our home from finding the right furniture to choosing colours, and refitting our oven cupboard to house a double oven. Her advice and discounts saved us thousands in dollars, and hundreds of hours. More than pays for herself.

Iill Gruner was on time and very professional.  She correctly assessed the type of input I was looking for and covered a great deal of ground in discussing design options, design suggestions and recommended sources for materials.  She even sent additional information after our appointment.  I would definitely ask Jill for design assistance again.
