Jeanne LaCasse The Color Consultant

Description of Work: Color consulting

Description of Work: Helped me select and purchase a rug, advised on wall color

Description of Work: Jeanne recommended the items below for my condo and also has relationships with contractors who performed the work. I was extremely pleased with all the recommendations and the contractors she recommended (Classic Tile for Kitchen work and PJ Decorating for Paint). Recommendations for Living Room: - Paint color - Rug selection - Art selection - Layout Recommendations for Kitchen: - Countertop selections (marble and butcher block) - Backsplash selection - Paint color

Description of Work: I consulted with Jeanne about coordinating wall color and furniture color in our family room. I had a media cabinet and sectional which I was hoping to use as the starting points for choosing wall color. Jeanne was prompt, scheduled an appointment quickly with me, and was very helpful in attacking the list of items I wished to discuss for the room. She recommended wall colors, lighting, suggested placement for pictures on the wall and confirmed we were going in the right direction with the carpet color that had already been selected.

Description of Work: I had Jeanne come out as I was drawing blanks on how to decorate my new home - specifically the living room which is narrow and not easy to decorate. Additionally, I needed suggestions on window treatments and color coordinating everything. Jeanne took measurements of the living room and windows and we started discussing ideas. We then went furniture shopping and picked out a rooms worth of furniture. A great experience!

Description of Work: Jeanne is working with me on a long-term plan for staging my house in order to sell it sometime in the future. The project involves coordinating color through out our house so the color flows from room to room and focuses on updated colors likely to appeal to future buyers. At the same time, Jeanne will be taking into account our current furnishings, including "editing" various pieces. I have worked with Jeanne for seven years during which she has helped me select colors for many of my rooms -- sometimes updating the original room color several years later. In the family room, for example, Jeanne helped me choose was a lovely deep shade of red five years ago and then last fall help with the conversion from red to a terrific gray, creating a very updated feel for my family room. In addition to the wall color, she helped me choose a light sand colored fabric for a new family room sectional which has proven to be indestructible in addition to being a wonderful contrast to the gray walls. Jeanne is sensitive to the feel of a traditional home and makes certain the color of the wall as well as furnishings are integral to the over all design; wall color doesn't trump design in her work -- it a lovely backdrop. Jeanne is truly a wonderful resource and it is a pleasure to recommend her.

Description of Work: Jeanne visited us twice: Once for a color consultation for our entire 1,000 ft condo and the second with a window treatment vendor.

Description of Work: We had Jeanne over for two color consultations to help us choose new carpet and paint color for a child's bedroom and a family room/playroom.

Description of Work: Selected interior paint colors for entire house

Description of Work: Jeanne made recommendations on paint colors for each room I needed help with, and color and type of window treatments for those rooms. She also made recommendations for kitchen cabinet and countertop colors and assisted with furniture placement.

Description of Work: We are just starting the process of remodeling/redecorating the second floor of our 1947 home. I hired Jeanne for her space redesign ideas prior to a general contractor appointment. Our two major space concerns were 1) the smaller of the two baths was the master bath--could it be expanded? and 2) could a too narrow hallway leading to a room addition be widened to accomodate larger furniture options in the room? Jeanne came up with a very creative idea for the bathroom expansion that includled the relocation of the room's closet and also had an idea for the hallway.

Description of Work: Jeanne helped us choose paint colors for all rooms in the house. In addition, she helped us choose tiles for the bathroom and laundry room. And she helped us pick a counter top and backsplash for the kitchen. Jeanne was also wonderful about supplying names of venders that she liked and trusted. Being new to the North Shore, that really helped us out.

Description of Work: We have used Jeanne to help us pick out paint for 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms and our living room. We have been extremely satisified with her professionalism, responsiveness and overall selection of the paint we choose. She also suggested grasscloth wallpaper in one of our bedrooms, and we absolutely love it. Right now she is working with us on drapery for our master bedroom as well.

Description of Work: She consulted with us on color choices for painting the interior of our home.

Description of Work: Jeanne provided me with interior design, redecorating tips, and color choices in advance of some remodel work we were doing.

Description of Work: Jeanne provided a vision of re-doing my much outdated kitchen into a French Country kitchen and family room combination. She helped provide ideas for the kitchen, provided fabric options, drapery styles, paint options, decorative hardward, ceiling fans, cabinet ideas, and countertop materials. The dollar amount is the total I spent on the kitchen. Jeanne's total services were only $800 - $1000

Description of Work: This is the second time I used Jeanne. A year ago I wanted to change my wall colors and I hired Jeanne. I loved what we selected with the wall colors, so now it was time to update my living room furniture and dining room rug; so I rehired Jeanne. I e-mailed Jeanne and she replied almost immediately. We talked on the phone and I provided her a general idea of what I was looking to do. We then set a date for her to stop by the house for measurements and then onto shopping. I spent a total of approximately 6 hours with Jeanne from looking at rugs to a new couch and chairs; we had a fantastic day. At the first retail center I was able to find the two rugs that I thought would fit my decor and I liked. We then moved onto the couch and chairs. Jeanne had contacted the retails store before we arrived and informed the manager of the types of furniture I needed, so when we arrived, the manager had time to research their furniture inventory and provide us ideas. I knew the types of colors for my couch and chairs and we both selected material samples, but Jeanne helped me narrow down the selections. I guess it was my day, because I was able to find exactly what I was searching. I assume when shopping for furniture, it doesn't always happen that you find exactly what you want on the initial day, but I am a quick decision maker and know what I want. So when I find it, its an easy decision. If I didn't have Jeanne, this would have been a very time confusing and frustrating process. Jeanne made it fun and an enjoyable day.

Description of Work: I used Jeanne's services for 2 separate projects. Initially she consulted with our condo building board to choose paint colors for our lobby and to choose fabric to re-upholster seating in our lobby. I also personally requested Jeanne's services for my own condo because I wanted to change paint colors throughout much of the space.

Description of Work: I called the interior designer after finding her service listed on Angie's List. I requested an in-person consultation to determine if appropriate for project. During telephone discussion, Designer informed me that "because she's so busy" she charges for initial consultation regardless whether hired. I accepted terms, $100/hour for initial meeting consultation.

Description of Work: Jeanne has come over twice. The first time she came to consult on paint and carpet for the family room, girls's bedroom, and tile and paint for the mudroom. The second time she consulted on paint for the kitchen, living room, boy's bedroom and bathroom.

Description of Work: Jeanne did some consulting for me on paint colors and furniture choices.

Description of Work: Jeanne and I had two appointments. During the first, she looked at my existing furniture and then traveled with me to a townhouse we were about to purchase. She spent a long time with me picking out potential colors for a number of the rooms. After we closed on the purchase, she came back and brought large, color samples. From those we narrowed down the color choices for each room. She completed the visit with a written color plan and samples for my files.

Description of Work: Three main areas: choose paint colors, review lighting in the dark! living dining room and kitchen, and select and place art in living/dining room, hallways, office, and bathrooms. Colors: Choose colors for ceilings, walls and trim in large living/dining room and halls, master bedroom, master bath (thank goodness!!!), and home office. This is a two-part process, First Jeanne and I looked at small swatches of color from Benjamin Moore, Pratt and Lambert, and another type called C2. Then she brought large swatches of color and, for some, small cans of paint and poster board. Jeanne painted the poster boards with the colors that weren't available as swatches. Then she gently and methodically helped me compare the options for the different rooms. For example in the bedroom, there were choices that were more toward gray and others more toward blue. First we narrowed it down to the blue group and then we chose from that group. For the home office, Jeanne suggested some light grays, but I decided I wanted something a little more vibrant, and she easily switched gears. For the lighting, Jeanne suggested task and general lighting, which could make use of my existing task lights in the short term. She also suggested specific lights from a specific source when I was ready to upgrade. In our second visit, I mentioned that they were a little expensive, she explained that that supplier had lights on sale in September. Also, we reviewed the lighting in the kitchen, and on her suggestion I will remove 2 (odd) fixtures and replace them with a track light. The art groupings were done after the wall colors were chosen. Jeanne asked me to identify which of the pieces I really liked (for whatever reason) and she made sure to incorporate those. She did a large grouping for the living room, a smaller one for the dining room, and suggested where to put another large painting. She made two groups for the hall, and identified prints for each bathroom that carried out the color scheme and "feel." She suggested the kinds of frames I should look for for a large print (for the living room) and for three smaller pieces in the hallway groups. We also hung all the pieces--though not in their absolutely final places because the painting hasn't been done. Jeanne carefully measured and placed the pieces so that it would be much easier for me to rehang them after the painting. Also, I bought towels between the two times Jeanne visited, so she could give her opinion of the colors. We also reviewed the new chairs I had bought, and Jeanne offered a reupholstery option for one of them that I wasn't happy with. Also, I wasn't sure the LR rug went with the new chairs, so we talked about that as well. We probably talked about other things as well, but I just don't remember.
