"I had thought about finishing my living room for a long time. Three previous designers were perplexed with what to do with the room. When Jane and Martin came in, they talked to me about my vision for the room. They put together a design plan, shared it with me along with the products and fabrics. I appreciated that they worked with some of my existing furniture. Several people have complimented me on the changes to the room. Most importantly, I use the room more now that it works better for me!"

“Jane is very knowledgeable about kitchens and an amazing cook herself. She helped me get amazing appliances and she is also talented in designing bathrooms! Love all the fixtures and had a lot of success with our stone in the kitchen and baths!”

“There must be a million details in any project, and having Jane's experience and organizational skills made the difference between a successful project and a nightmare. AIso, having access to her quality vendor resources and suppliers across the country, in FIorida, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Idaho has been critical. Without those contacts, we would be dealing with lots of unknowns.

Having worked with Jane on several properties, we cannot recommend her highly enough. She is experienced, hardworking and really fun to be around.”

"I had two consultants work in my home before Jane arrived to finish the job and pull everything together. My favorite treatment in the place is the valance Jane placed on the plantation shutters in the adjoining front rooms. No one else suggested anything like that and it really sets the rooms off.

After all the elegant and sophisticated pieces, I acquired, Jane salvaged a beat-up piece of wood molding from a restoration project, and had it refinished and placed as a trim piece framing artwork in my den….it looks fantastic! Who knew that a junky piece of old wood that she didn’t charge me for would be a great final touch?

From a troubleshooting perspective, Jane helped me obtain a very nice sideboard. After it arrived with a small blemish on the top, Jane arranged for an entirely new replacement…no fooling around, no back-and-forth negotiations with the manufacturer and no attempts at repairing the damage. I truly appreciated her resolution of this issue!"

“We loved the finished projects that were completed in our home by the Synnestvedt design team. Specifically, the guidance from Jane and Martin in choices for paint colors, wallpaper texture, and providing such skilled workmen. The painting was faultless, the wallpaper installation is perfect, and the built-in television unit in the family room transformed the space.

I would highly recommend the Synnestvedt group to anyone, not only for the above-mentioned outcomes but most importantly for being so easy and pleasant to work with!”

Working with Jane is like working with a family member! You get the sense immediately upon meeting with her that she cares about what you have to say and that it’s likely not going to be a one-and-done relationship. In fact, we’ve been in our house for 3 and a half years and we’re still coming up with collective ideas on how to turn our house into a “home”!

Jane is trustworthy, dedicated, consistent and able to meet deadlines. Not to mention she is extremely talented. Our home is comfortable, stylish and fits our personalities. We love it!

Working with Jane was a dream. My project was completed when I was out of town and Jane was there to handle any design questions that came up in my absence. She did, of course, run her ideas by me, but that really wasn’t necessary and she shared my vision for the space.

Jane Synnestvedt was involved with our design and construction team at Hamlin Corner. We were happy with the ideas that Jane brought to the project and are pleased with the final result of what we believe to be one of the best restaurants in the metro Detroit area. The look and feel of Hamlin Corner is something special and unique to Royal Oak. We are glad that we had Jane as part of our team to make our vision a reality.
