Rebuild of Tropical Territory House in Darwin, NT Australia – 2013/14
**Winner of HIA AWARDS 2014 for best design and build under 1 million
dollars.
Having lived in our home for the past 20 years when we finally were in a position
to completely
re-design and re-invent the next phase of our living environment we had a very
clear vision of what we wanted. Working with Jan-Marie over the past 9 months
has been a godsend…She anticipated needs, options and issues that we never
saw coming or could have. It takes all types of professionals to bring a house
project together successfully. Interior design is an integral part of that process
and all the value that Jan-Marie brought to the table not only saved us a lot of
money and lost time in bad design decisions, her foresight saved us many
headaches. She worked well with the Project Manager and construction team.
We Commend Jan-Marie and her work ethic and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend
her highly to any prospective client.

Renovation of Penthouse Apartment, Primrose Hill, London. UK – 2007-
2014
I am a busy executive, I travel most of the time however my time at home is very
important to me. Jan-Marie has renovated my penthouse apartment twice in 15
years. Once given the brief, Jan-Marie will take total control throughout the
whole process; this is what I needed and what took the stress out of my life. I
trusted Jan-Marie’s trained eye and professionalism. I pride myself on being on
the cutting edge in what’s hot in the music industry and I recognize that in Jan-
Marie. This is what gives me confidence in Jan-Marie’s work, she is constantly
evolving and I appreciate that Jan-Marie prides herself on keeping up with Global
and Environmentally friendly eco materials and interior finishes. No one enters
my Space and doesn’t say WOW!

RealCorp Bahrain – Property Development & Management. - 2010
My Husband and I invested in a City Apartment Development in Bahrain. We
were living in South Africa at the time and purchased the 3-bedroom apartment
off the developers plan as an investment. We wanted it furnished to attract the
corporate market. Jan-Marie worked within our budget and delivered an
executive apartment with high quality finishes whilst working on a very tight
budget. The Apartment was rented the day the photos were taken and posted on

2. the website. We could not have imagined that the apartment could look as
fabulous as it did for the budget and ultimately we secured the maximum rental.
We recommend Jan-Marie highly, no fuss, no nonsense, she will do her best and
work within your budget.

Refurbishment -1920’s Home. - 2009
We had never worked with an Interior Designer before, however we knew that
we couldn’t do such a large-scale renovation without one. Jan-Marie immediately
put our fears to rest with her down to earth, practical approach to all the
challenges we faced. We were encouraged to make the important decisions and
when we felt out of our depth Jan-Marie worked with us to solve problems, offer
solutions and the end results were fantastic, we cannot thank Jan-Marie enough
for her integrity, attention to detail and handling beautifully any construction or
design issue that arose.

Country Estate. - 2008
We employed Jan-Marie to modernise our country estate, having seen, and coveted her design
work at a friend's house. We couldn'tbe happier with the results: while respecting the existing
interior architecture and antiques she sourced a variety ofexquisite modern furniture, lights, Art
and accessories which breathed a new lease oflife into our home. Her eye for colour is
exceptional - the fabrics she recommended are stunning and still fill me with joy each time I
look atthem. I have always trusted Jan-Marie's judgement, and am impressed with the speed
and professionalism ofher work. Ihave no hesitation in recommending Jan-Marie: Australia,
you are lucky to have her!

Manhattan Apartment and Hamptons Beach house – 2008-2010
I have lived in New York City for the past 27 years. I employed Jan-Marie to do the interior
decorating of my apartment in NYC and my home in the Hamptons. My apartment was newly
renovated and I had basically no idea which direction I wanted to go as far as style
went. Jan-Marie gave incredible insight and intuitively knew what I wanted. After taking the
time she found the elements and style that was exactly what I was looking for. She was
considerate of my own feelings and respectful of my thoughts. Jan-Marie turned my
apartment from no personality to a spectacular home with warm tones and style that was so
impressive it is just beautiful and the envy of my friends and family. I then of course asked
her to do the same with my home in the Hamptons. Jan-Marie's expertise and artistry
translates in her talent for knowing what styles suits what environments and with that she
transformed my Hampton home to another warm and stunning home.
I would unequivocally recommend her and I can assure you, you will be happy beyond your
expectations. Jan-Marie is truly and exceptional talent in her field.
SIncerely,
