Jan is a delight to work with!  She has wonderful ideas that are cost-effective and imaginative. We haven't won the lottery, so budgets are important. Jan knows this and makes practical suggestions: She found the perfect chaise for sale on Craig's List and told us, "If you like it, we can just recover it." We did and we did, getting a fabulous piece for a fraction of the retail price. Jan listens to what we want and if we don't like a suggestion, she doesn't take it personally. It's on to the next idea. She is a terrific shopper, with an eye for design and bargains at the same time. We have recommended Jan to friends, who have been equally pleased.

On short notice, Jan jumped in to help us decorate for the holidays and a party we didn't expect to host. We were just beginning to refresh our great room, and it did not look spiffy enough for a festive party -- until Jan. She gave us guidance on colors (metallics, dark blue, aqua highlights) and found the perfect tableware. Jan told us how to make the entry welcoming with white poinsettias, and she gave us suggestions for trimming the tree, the prettiest we'd ever had. Throughout the project, Jan was brimming with cost-conscious, creative ideas, such as using a pretty throw to hide a torn sofa. On the night of the party, guests walked into a candlelit room that looked festive and fabulous.

Jan was prompt and courteous. She has a very kind demeanor. I'm sure my decorating tastes are quite different from hers but she never said anything about it. She just used my furniture I have now as well as some art to make suggestions as to how everything could be arranged to make things work better. I mentioned having difficulty with other parts of the house and she even took a look there although that is not what we hired her for originally. She left me with many ideas and emailed several suggestions with a follow up recount of what we had discussed. She is wonderful!

Jan is highly touted here on Angie's List with overall A's throughout, so I guess my expectations were high. But the real "killer" was she was supposed to be here at a particular time and I rushed home from work and only had a limited time window to discuss with her. This was a very important issue with me. We even confirmed the time via email. She was late and claimed that we had agreed upon another time. When I sent her a follow up memo after the meeting and included the time she'd agreed to (although being discreet, I did not mention the time issue in my follow up email), and she completely ignored it, not apologizing or admitting she'd been wrong. The upshoot was I paid her but didn't feel I had adequate time to consult with her. Also, her first idea for placement of furniture was completely "off the mark" of what I wanted to do. Space-wise, I did not feel that she gave me many viable alternatives other than ones I had already considered and then discarded for various reasons. She was somewhat helpful about my color scheme and I got some ideas for that. In all fairness, since she knew our time was cut short, when she left, she said she would think over my unique spacing problems and get back with me. We will see if she follows up.
Response from LeanOnMeDesign
"I am requesting this review be removed from my file. This member was angry when I arrived since I DID NOT park exactly where she told me to due to no empty places & therefore was five minutes. There were no traffic problem. I express my regrets for not being punctual due to the parking. At the end of this visit it was evident she was wanting me in & out before her husband got home implying he might not be pleased. Odd situation. Not surprised at response but due to the length of time that has passed I think it might be acceptable to ask it be removed the response screen. Thanks for your consideration of this requests. I am expanding my business and will be in touch with others that I I have worked for and encourage them to send in their comments. Several I have serviced numerous times and gotten many referrals."

Jan came out and had excellent people to do the work. She did the shopping, brought several samples back to me to look and did a great job! She really helped me to sleep better at night now that I have Roman shades on my windows! Everything is just wonderful! Because of her, my health is being affected in a very positive way! I'll be forever grateful to her!

I made an appointment with Jan for a room design consultation for my living and dining area. Jan had some wonderful ideas for color for wall and floors. She suggested I stain my brick fireplace and replace my carpet with wood floors and paint my walls. Jan physically helped me rearrange my furniture for a better flow in the living and dining rooms. She has inspired me to trust my own decorating judgments. She has a wonderful eye for detail.

I contacted Jan originally to see if she could give us a referral of an interior decorator in our area of the Metroplex as she does not usually cover our area. However, as we discussed our needs, she decided to come and give us a consult to assist in our house sale. She is very professional, detail oriented, a good listener, and has a great talent selecting paint color and fabric to highlight existing architecture/furnishings. Through her assist in staging our house for resale, we sold within 26 days for our listed amount.

Jan is very professional and knows her stuff. She was extremely polite and reasonably priced. Jan gave me the confidence to move forward with my painting project by helping me choose a color I would've never considered. Her tips have inspired me to make changes throughout our house and helped me realize its full potential. I highly recommend Jan and would contact her again for future projects.
