Space Planning Services in Jerseyville, IL

“CJ Knapp is a professional, talented and fun to work with designer. As an interior photographer, I photograph CJ's work and I am always excited to see her next project. Her ideas are always creative and new. She creates innovative solutions to her client's needs.”

“Jake has been our designer for two extensive remodels on our 1950's ranch style house. We wanted an open concept plan, walk in shower, and an upstairs laundry room. Our tiny original kitchen became a beautiful, updated family living space. This is our forever house and it is exactly what we wanted. Recently Jake designed our basement remodel. Again Jake listened to our ideas and incorporated them into two bedrooms, a bathroom, and downstairs family room. Perfect for visiting guests and grandkids.”

“I first used Directions in Design (DID) in 2003 when I completely gutted and renovated my townhouse in the Philadelphia area. I then used DID again in 2007 when I was relocated to North Carolina. In 2012, I bought a 2nd home on the coast in Florida and I called upon DID for my design needs for the 3rd time. I have been elated with their creativity, the ease of communications, and the fact they managed my projects on time and within budget; hence, I'm confident about employing this firm for a 4th time to redesign the interior of the yacht we just bought to keep behind our home in Florida. I can think of no other company to hire--but DID--to redesign the interior of our yacht. The designers at DID are adept at dealing with the complicated curvatures of a boat and the use of lightweight, marine materials used for durability in the sun, heat and salt environment. I especially enjoy working with Jane Ganz, the President of DID. She eases my mind throughout the demolition and reconstruction process by virtue of her efficient and reliable project management services. As has become usual in my experience with DID, my expectations continue to be exceeded. It is remarkable that it matters not that they are based in St. Louis, whereas I live in North Carolina and Florida now. The people in this company are so responsive and caring about their clients' needs, I look forward to working with them! Once again, I highly recommend this company, regardless of where you reside.”

“It was a real pleasure working with Kate. Her incredible sense of style and keen eye create spaces that feel comfortable, timeless and stylish. Her attention to details are impeccable. I can’t wait to photograph her next project.”

“Our relationship with Y Designs has covered a 12 year period, and has included 4 different projects. We have learned to trust suggestions completely, especially when it comes to colors. We are given exactly the amount of help we need, without any pressure at all, and our own likes & dislikes are always a priority to Y Designs. Every detail has turned out to be not just acceptable, but fabulous! We would never want to use anyone else, in fact, have tried to coax Yvonne to travel to Naples, Florida to design our home there. Unable to travel at the time, we were given help with colors & décor long distance! We just love her! Becky Von Gruben”

“I highly recommend Leah for your next interior design project! After years (and lots of money) struggling to find the right furniture, color scheme and layout for my living room, I decided to turn to an expert. Leah quickly understood the style I was trying to achieve and made recommendations I never would have considered on my own. Her expertise in lighting, color and the right furniture pieces for my small living space created what I had been unsuccessfully trying to do on my own for years.”

“The Komlos Design Group did a great job designing our kitchen a few years ago. They understood what we wanted done and was always available to answer questions and to guide us with great ideas. We are very pleased, and would highly recommend this Group.”

“My husband and I finally bought our "Dream House". Built in 1922 it had everything we were looking for but my main requirement was that it was "old". I had visions of restoring it to its glory days! I had carried around a file titled "Old House" for years with pictures of ideas and furniture that I knew I wanted to incorporate into our house. We were only going to redo one bathroom, well maybe two. But as we admired our beautiful old girl, we knew she was worthy of an entire renovation. We had a few rules: update but respect the period in which she was built. And we had to keep the original floors and windows! I needed a decorator/designer who could incorporate my ideas and dreams, in a very tight timeframe, without it losing our ideas and influence. I interviewed several: some could not work within the timeframe, one thought I was too strong-willed and bossy, one didn't think I knew what I was doing. Kelly Johnson said "When do we get started?". It was a fabulous project and experience and became a wonderful friendship. She reined me in when I wanted too much glitz and had just as much respect for the house as I did. It was a perfect match! And it is, no doubt, the prettiest house in Saint Louis/Clayton area. After all, we have couples who leave their picture, name and number several times a month with a letter that says, "if you ever think of selling your house, please call us." Now, that is perfection!!! Lori Aston”

“TaRon is a wonderful professional photographer to work with! He has been reliable and flexible with our schedule. He takes time to stage, and get the lighting just right to capture our properties in the perfect way. His turnaround time is quick as well. We are very happy with his work, and would recommend to anyone!”
