DECORATING QUESTIONS have you stumped? If so, you've definitely come to the right place as answering all sizes, shapes, and flavors of these questions is my longtime specialty. I'm "Sam" (no, not short for Samantha!) Jernigan and I recent marked a business milestone: 25 years helping homeowners just like you turn their interior as well as exterior design dilemmas into stylish solutions and, more importantly, their house into a home they love. My service area includes Grass Valley, Nevada City, Penn Valley and all of Nevada County including the Truckee region; Placer County (Auburn, Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Colfax, Granite Bay, et al.); and the greater Sacramento area (including Folsom, Fair Oaks, Elk Grove, et al.), as well as other neighboring locales.

For those living elsewhere, my e-design services are also available on a remote (virtual) basis. homepage welcome banner - 78395 Bytes

My approach to interior design is quite unique so I'm delighted to have this opportunity to explain the way I work with clients.

First, it's important to note that MOST decorators or designers are commissioned salespeople in some fashion or another. That's all well and good until you ask them for "advice." After all, what do you suppose their answer's predicated upon -- your best interest...OR...their need to make a sale? Not to mention the fact that their "advice" is also usually limited to suggesting only the merchandise their store or studio sells.

In contrast, I simply consult by the hour and do NO retailing whatsoever. So I like to say, I work for YOU, not "the store" -- which I did for 5 years full-time at the beginning of my design career. In actuality, I consider myself part designer and part consumer advocate as I'm dedicated to saving clients like you money wherever possible vs. maneuvering you into a given purchase -- like competitors of mine might. Instead, making smart use of your re$ources accompanied by your delight in your new or renewed living space is my sole focus -- while ensuring you avoid CO$tly mistakes!

This is one more benefit of working with a seasoned designer -- I can help s-t-r-e-t-c-h your decorating budget while assisting you in navigating the creation of a customized design plan for your space(s) while also keeping a prudent eye on the long term value and functionality of purchases or changes you're considering.
