Eloise Jeanneau, San Francisco CA

In 2022, we purchased a house and started a large remodeling project where we switched the location of the kitchen from the the first floor to the ground floor. I did not know where to start to design our new kitchen and living room, and Geraldine really helped us understand the space and how we could fit what we wanted and needed in our new space. She listened to us carefully, asking questions about our requirements and wish list. She then presented a 3D rendition of a few options possible for our kitchen, which we discussed in a live meeting. We shared what we liked and liked less about the designs as well as additional ideas, and she adapted the short-listed option accordingly.

Geraldine's strength is that she was able to actively listen to us, suggests options we could see in 3D and adapt her designs to our feedback. It was a great design experience for our first remodel!

Benoit Vialle, Danville CA

Working with Geraldine has been fantastic at all levels - her sense of aesthetics and creative touch have allowed Maison Benoit, a bakery in Danville, to really stand out and patrons always rave about the design, furniture and overall atmosphere of the place. But beyond the core designer skills, Geraldine's impeccable organizational skills have made working together extremely easy and efficient. There is no doubt in my mind that I will seek Geraldine's services again for my next project!

Liz Moore, Mill Valley CA

Geraldine is an extremely talented interior designer (and amazing individual). She brings years of experience, creativity, and an eye for design to a project while remaining conscientious of budget and timelines. She is highly organized and communicative and makes sure anyone who works with her is as well. We are so pleased with the interior refresh of our home and cannot wait to work with her again. We highly recommend Geraldine!

Axel & LM de Tilly, Upstate New York NY

We can't say enough good things about Geraldine and the amazing job she did remodeling our kitchen! She took a small, cramped kitchen and unused sunroom and turned it into a beautiful, open space that our whole family loves to hang out in.

Geraldine was with us every step of the way. She started by helping us figure out the best layout for the space and gave us great recommendations on materials, colors, and furniture. Once we had a design we liked, she created detailed plans for the contractor and architect to prepare the project for the next step.

I didn't know where to start when I needed to find an architect and a contractor. Geraldine helped us find the right partners by getting quotes and asking them all the right questions to make sure they possessed the necessary skills and experience for our project. And even though we were living far away during the renovation, Geraldine kept an eye on things and gave us helpful feedback whenever we needed it.

Honestly, working with Geraldine was a breeze. She's super organized, detail-oriented, and made the whole process so easy. We're thrilled with our new kitchen – hiring Geraldine was worth every penny and more!
