Jennifer is multi-talented and takes a more holistic approach than some of her peers. She worked closely with our builder and architect to keep our vision in the forefront and to make sure that what was being drawn could be built and would also serve a purpose. Nothing superfluous, nothing we didn't need or want. She was with us from the very beginning and helped keep us sane during the construction process. The results speak for themselves and we could not be more pleased.
For the last three years, Jennifer Hoey Smith has been a wonderful part of our life. We hired Jennifer to help decorate our newly-built home in Sun Valley, Idaho. Jennifer was a pleasure to work with on all levels. Her advice, input, and attention to detail were flawless. She stayed on task and completed the job within our budget and on time. On a personal level, she was a joy to spend time with and get to know as a friend. Our project was large but Jennifer was able to oversee every detail of it and was always readily available to discuss any questions and concerns we had. Because we do not live in Sun Valley, we depended on Jennifer to handle many of the tough questions the architect and builder had. She was always able to manage this with great confidence and we never questioned her ability to do so. It made the whole process easy and enjoyable. Our house is now finished and thanks to Jennifer, it is absolutely breathtaking. We recommend Jennifer Hoey Smith with great enthusiasm!
I had the pleasure of hiring Jennifer Hoey Smith two years ago as my interior designer. She was referred to me by my architect, Jeffrey Williams, of Ketchum, Idaho. During our interview, she impressed me with her organization, pleasant personality, creativity, and vision for the project, which had its challenges. (I was remodeling a 1950s ranch-style home in Ketchum and building a large wing and outdoor room onto it.)
Jennifer was tireless in all her efforts despite being pregnant and then a new mother. She was a delight to work with and her vision was achieved with a seamless blending of the old and the new. Jennifer has an amazing talent for creating warm and inviting spaces, selecting color palettes, designing elevations, and outlining interior specifications. She worked and communicated well with all members of the architectural, construction, and tradesman teams.
Jennifer ran her business very professionally and the invoices were clear, timely, and accurate. She can easily accommodate an owner’s design ideas and will gently dissuade you if you have a bad idea.
I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with Jennifer and would do it all again. I highly recommend her as the most talented interior designer in the Wood River Valley.
I engaged Jennifer Hoey Smith to oversee the decorating of my 9,000-square-foot ranch house in Bellevue, Idaho from 2003 to 2006. She provided me with a thoughtful plan and well-documented options for all the purchase decisions while meeting my criteria throughout. Her communication and documentation was excellent which was critical because I was making decisions from San Francisco and relied on her completely.
Jennifer listened carefully to all of my ideas and executed them well beyond my expectations. Beyond that, she was a pleasure to work with and helped smooth over any difficulties that developed with other participants on the project.
I am extremely pleased with the final product and feel that Jennifer’s good decisions and contributions to the total effort more than justified her fee.
