Jeanne did a fantastic job of guiding us through our Indian Wells condo update. She had a great way of guiding us through all the decisions on colors, furniture, paint, trim etc. She also has a practical approach and keeps cost in mind. She was diligent in managing the various vendors to ensure the end result was excellent. Highly recommend Jeanne.

Jeanne just completed our project at our home in Ironwood, Palm Desert. She assisted us with selecting an overall style, colors, paint, cabinetry, furnishings and more. She worked well within our budget and was very thoughtful about pricing and sourcing. Jeanne can bring you along in the process, or make decisions for you, whatever works best for you. She puts her clients wishes first, yet she can also help you “stretch” and try something new. Jeanne is responsive, trustworthy, creative, and a good communicator. Peter and I highly recommend Jeanne for your interior projects. She is a true professional and also really fun!

Jeanne guided us through our home renovation by providing us with design ideas, trustworthy vendor recommendations, furniture suggestions, and moral support. Highly professional and personable at the same time. Even after our contract ended, Jeanne would still check in and follow up with us to make sure things were done to our satisfaction.

I had the good opportunity to meet Jeanne Bemis through a referral. That opportunity turned into a great relationship and a new vision for my home. She listened, cared and we explored how her professionalism and vision could enhance my home. Wow! I am so absolutely delighted with the result. In fact, I was so delighted with the look, that I hired her to update the rest of my house, that finally turned into my home. THANK YOU, JEANNE.

As a new customer to Mathis Bros. Furniture, Jeanne was our Design Consultant. She helped us coordinate and pick new pieces of furniture for our new house. We went in without a clear picture of what we wanted and she helped us paint a picture.

I recently moved to a new city and didn't take any of my furniture from my old place. I thought it was going to be easy just buying some new things for my new home. I went to a local furniture store and was immediately overwhelmed with the choices. I ran into Jeannne while I was wondering around the store. I learned she was an interior designer. I told her what I liked and she listened. Later she came over to my house & took measurements of my space. The next day I met her at the store & she had picked out things for me that I immediately liked. She was amazing! She put together a beautiful space for me, something I could never have done on my own. She was professional and easy to work with, and she had an unbelievable expertise in knowing exactly which pieces go together. On the day the furniture was delivered, she came over and worked with the movers in the placement of the new furniture. She took care of the whole job from start to finish and made things very easy for me. I get so many compliments whenever someone comes over to my place. I definitely would recommend Jeanne's interior design services to anyone I know.

Jeanne Bemis is one of the most talented designers my husband & I have worked with.
She listened to both of us and was able to guide us through decisions smoothly even when we did not agree with each other. She is extremely conscientious, making sure the furniture size was scaled correctly for the room and made different textures and colors come together perfectly. Even when I questioned an accessory choice, she said try it and if it doesn't work, it can be exchanged. It all worked! Along with her product knowledge, she is also extremely skilled with colors and design.

I recently purchased a home in LaQuinta Ca that was completely unfurnished. I am a single man with not much knowledge of interior decorating .Luckily i was recommended to Jeanne. She was awesome to work with. I told her i didn't want cheap but not real high end either. I learned a lot from her.She took the time to explain why this would work or not work. From the bigs to the littles She helped me with everything . Very professional lady and i would highly recommend her.

Jeanne was terrific with her recommendations. She gave a lot of input that gave me a lot of current ideas and I implemented many of them. I would suggest using her for anything you are doing, small or large in your home.

It was a pleasure working with Jeanne. The job was done, for the most part, remotely, as I was in Toronto while Jeanne was in Palm Springs. Her taste is impeccable and she really got the Palm Springs vibe . Jeanne was easy to contact, always made herself available and followed through with all the details. I love her work

Jeanne was absolutely amazing! My husband and I purchased a new home and had no idea where to start with design and decor. Jeanne came swooping in and helped us narrow down our style, gave us ideas for each room, and provided excellent examples and sources for the art, furniture, and decor that we need. We have already started implementing everything and its coming together very well! We highly recommend JMB Designs for you!

Project consisted of removal of popcorn ceilings and re-painting entire 2 bedroom condo. Selection and installation of paint, wallpaper, carpeting, and lighting neutral in colors to en-hance a mid-century furniture selection of chartreuse, teal, and shades of blue with asian accents and desert Art. Also the selection of mid-century furniture pieces to coordinate with existing pieces.

Jeanne's AMAZING! Her sense of style, ingenuity, and balance are truly inspirational. She always leaves a stamp of joy in her work, and to what degree depends on the personality of each client. I am a fan for life!

Hammerton Lighting

Earlier this year Jeanne Bemis of JMD Designs LLC specified Hammerton lighting for a high end remodel in Mercer Island, WA, and she was an absolute joy to work with. Jeanne had a very clear vision of what her clients were looking for and what they wanted to spend. She understood the importance of nailing down the details associated with specifying custom decorative lighting and asked excellent questions about various fixture options, bulb types, lumens, and so on; always making sure she thoroughly understood what she was purchasing. Even though she’s an incredibly busy lady, she was always accessible. Her responsiveness, combined with her ability to confidently make smart decisions, allowed the project to move forward quickly and with great results. Jeanne, we can’t wait to work with you again!

I have worked with JMB Designs for many years and have always been impressed with Jeanne's professionalism and quality of work. Jeanne has referred me to many of her clients as a professional resource to install solar and security window film to protect the beauty of her design from the sun's damaging rays. It's the attention of details and commitment to provide the highest quality of work that makes JMB Design a solid choice for your next home or office project.
