Reviews

à la carte DESIGN is recognized as a top Denver interior design firm. Read what clients with a variety of different projects—large and small—have to say about the benefits of working with Jeane Dole.
“We knew we needed help with our Denver bungalow, to make the smaller spaces feel livable and comfortable, and to bring out its unique character. Jeane brought just the right combination of artistry and practicality to the task. She reworked the spaces in creative new ways, selected just the right color for our walls to bring out the warmth and charm of the living space, while remaining attentive to our unique needs as a family with a young child. In addition to her considerable talents as a designer Jeane is thorough, attentive to detail and easy to work with.”

Client

Denver, Highlands
“Jean helped us make both subtle and dramatic changes that made our house feel more like our home. We created architectural elements where none had been before. She recommended colors that were at once sophisticated but comfortable for a young family. Working with Jeane is like working with a good friend with a dead-on design sense. You feel comfortable. You feel listened to. And you know you are going to get great results.”

Client

Castle Rock
“Building (remodeling) is stressful! But working with someone like Jeane makes a process that could be very painful, a much easier road. She was there to guide us through the thousands of decisions that had to be made and she did it with humor and the utmost professionalism. Jeane did a wonderful job of delivering a design that was unique to us. We couldn’t be happier!”

Client

Greenwood Village
“Jeane Dole was able to incorporate ideas I shared with her on my vision for the remodeling projects I had, and make them blend with the furniture I wanted to keep and the areas that did not need remodeling so that everything flowed beautifully. She also had several ideas on ways to keep cost down and use some existing items. For example, where I wanted new bathroom cabinets, Jeane instead had my existing cabinets repainted and new hardware added, and the result looked brand new and saved money for other updates. She employs qualified experts in every area, from electrical, carpenters, painters and every area needed to finish a job. I received many compliments on my updated bathroom, powder room, office area, banisters, and paint colors throughout.”

Client

“We had the opportunity to work with Jeane on a large project that included the addition of a master en suite — she was great to work with. Not only did she listen to our ideas, she built on them and made them better than we ever could have! She has great taste and knows how to design amazing spaces.”

Client

“We decided to do a comprehensive remodel of our entire first floor which included an outdated cramped kitchen, the family room, dining room and living room. It involved a significant amount of planning and Jeane consulted with an architect and a civil engineer to ensure that walls and ceilings that needed moving were safe to do so. Multiple crews had to come and go (electricians, HVAC, plumbing, sound system wiring) in addition to the contractor and his team. The end result was absolutely stunning and we are very happy in our new space. Overall, the design was beautiful and classic and will not look outdated for a very long time.”

Client

"Jeane is wonderful to work with and makes design decisions easy and straight forward. Working with her is truly a la carte. She shows you everything/breaks down pricing etc, and you can then deside if you can do everything and or choose what you can do now/later. She's very helpful with budget and what may be most impactful to choose based on this. She's now done my kitchen, change in floors/stairway, laundry room and downstairs powder room."

Sharon S

"I have collaborated with Jeane Dole at à la carte DESIGN over the past few years on a full house remodel. The experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From start to now, she has demonstrated incredible creativity and professionalism, bringing fresh ideas to the table while maintaining a deep understanding of my personal style.

Jeane's creativity transformed a 1960's house with boxy, dark and unusable spaces into a home with open, inviting and usable spaces. She has impeccable taste in selecting finishes which combine materials, colors, and textures that truly elevated the look and feel of our home.

Throughout the process, Jeane has always been punctual and highly responsive, which made communication easy. She exceeded my expectations in every aspect of the project, delivering a stunning transformation that I absolutely love.

If you are looking for a talented and professional interior designer who is as creative as well as organized, I highly recommend Jeane Dole at à la carte DESIGN!"

Stephanie

"I did a major remodel of a kitchen and two bathrooms. I would have lost my mind if it weren't for Jeane Dole. Her incredible talent and vision guided me through the maze of options, decisions, and construction challenges. I am now living in a home I love. I fully recommend a la carte DESIGN!"

"It was a pleasure to work with Jeane Dole at a la carte design. Jeane is smart, creative, energetic, diligent and a good communicator. She brought a lot a lot of excellent ideas to our project, but also listened to ours. We get complements on our kitchen all the time. She was a joy to work with through what might normally be a stressful time. Her expertise and ability to listen and learn her clients interest is remarkable. It is so wonderful to come home at the end of the day to a beautiful kitchen."

Shera and Tom

"We hired Jeane to help us design and project manage the complete update and redesign of our master suite, closet, and bathroom, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From our very first meeting, it was clear that she understood our style and vision, especially after using Houzz to clarify our preferences.

Jeane presented us with top-notch design options that perfectly aligned with our aesthetic while being extremely mindful of our budget. This balance between quality and affordability was a breath of fresh air and made us feel confident in our decisions throughout the process.

Once we officially hired Jeane, she introduced us to three different contractors, allowing us to choose the one we felt most comfortable with. Her project management skills were outstanding; she handled everything from start to finish, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.

The final result is a serene, relaxing oasis that we retreat to every night, and we truly believe that hiring Jeane was the best investment we made for our home. Her expertise and dedication are evident in every detail, and we cannot recommend her enough!

If you’re looking for an interior designer who can bring your vision to life while keeping your budget in check, Jeane is the perfect choice!"

Sarah and Jeff

"Jeane is excellent. So good I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again for any project. Our project was relatively small in the grand scheme of things, but it never felt that way to us. She was always responsive, always listened to us patiently, and worked very hard to make our (not always well articulated) desires manifest themselves in a beautiful finished project. This was the first time we’d ever made a substantial change to our home and the first time we’d ever used an interior designer. Jeane made the whole thing so stress-free I can’t imagine doing it without her. For example, half-way through the project (the installation of a fireplace, mantle, and built-in shelves) we had to change contractors. Jeane handles it extremely well and there was no change in the (very high) quality of the finished project.

Bottom line: Jeane has it all. She’s a great listener who carefully worked with us to make sure we got what we wanted (even when we didn’t alway know what that was!) and a great project manager. All at a very fair price. I recommed her to anyone I know looking for interior design help."

"A delight to get to work with Jeane. She was quick to understand our design style and brought many options for us to review. She made the process fun and interesting!"

"I hired Jeane to help us design and install a new powder room and basement common area. The basement went from a drab, basic bar to a vibrant orange room with a one-wall, self-service kitchen complete with white cabinetry, quartz countertops, beverage fridge, sink/disposal and microwave drawer. On the opposite wall, an ugly water shut-off door was camouflaged into two white columns, flanked with shelving affording us space for a large OLED tv, family fotos and collectibles. The glass bubble chandeliers are super unique and et the stage as you enter the room. A pocket door was installed to close off the basement from the basement stairwell and tall sliding doors were installed to provide a divider between this posh hangout from the teenager's tech area. The powder room now exudes a Mediterranean feel with white pebbles on the wall behind a large beautiful mirror, custom cabinetry beneath a painted porcelain bowl....topped off with a gold ceiling! Both rooms were transformed into amazing living spaces that exude ooohs and aaahs from guests when seeing them for the first time. The project was within budget and exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Jeane, for sharing your design vision with us and giving us spaces in our home that truly represent us."

"Our condo was totally gutted & Jeane redesigned it all. She was very conscious of contractor time lines & costs. She has great design ideas & worked well with us to implement our own ideas. Jeane was very professional & a pleasure to work with."

Cindy

"Working with Jeane has been a dream for me. She understood my style right away, she's super professional and easy to work with. She thinks of even the minutest details and explains why they're important. She listens, is courteous and will do as much or as little as you want. Love her!"

Lisa Castro

"We worked with Jeane Dole to update our office space and she was wonderful to work with! She has fantastic ideas and really listened to our needs and worked to set up our space so that it is now welcoming and attractive. We would highly recommend Jeane for her design expertise!"

Amy Shanahan

"Jeane has helped us with two projects. The first project involved updates to the kitchen: floor, counter, appliances, and repainting cabinets. The second project involved redoing the master bath and closet and the hall bath. Each bath involved a complete redo: moving walls, new cabinets, counters, flooring, showers, and toilet. Jeane worked with us on the designs for each project and we have thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of her recommendations with the finished projects. She worked well with the general contractor on the projects and was quick to get back to us on our questions. We finally love our house again!"

tilwithrow

"My company hired Jeane Dole to provide design, color and material selections for our home that will be listed at 1,999,000. She has exceeded our expectations in every aspect of the project. Her attention to detail and strong desire to ensure the project not only met her standards, but exceeding ours. As the project progressed, she was readily available to review unexpected issues that popped up and assist with solutions immediately. She also has a great focus for the clients budget, always making it work for her design concepts and our budgets.

Additionally, another strong trait of Jeane's is not being afraid to speak her mind and clearly communicate what is best for the project even though it might make for an uncomfortable discussion. We had many candid discussions throughout the project and always ended on a positive note for us as the client.

Jeane was also given the staging of our project because of her strong focus and great design ideas, and we wanted to carry that through to the final sale of our home.

I highly recommend Jeane Dole for any of your design future design services."

"We hired Jeane to help design our master bedroom remodel. Her ideas were inspirational and attainable. I have enjoyed working with her and we now have a beautiful bedroom I love to come home to everyday!"

hstevr

"a la carte DESIGN was great! I needed help maximizing space and function after moving into a much smaller space and was feeling very overwhelmed!

It turned out, we were able to reposition may of my existing pieces and also add some great touches that made all the difference! Jeane really listened to my worries and frustrations and turned them into functional plans for my new space. She was patient when I needed to think things over and really made me feel like a part of the process.

Outfitting small, New York apartments is a special skill on it's own and a la carte DESIGN proves they have this skill, and many, many more!"

"Jeanne helped remodel our living room/dining room combination. It is a very big space which I had no idea what to do with. She came in with lots of great ideas right away. We added hardwood floors and refinished some to make them darker. Remodeled our fireplace and added cabinets. Painted interior, exterior and added new fixtures. Jeanne really took the time to understand what kind of design I wanted and did an amazing job. I will continue to use her expertise."

"I have worked with Jeane Dole on multiple projects. As real estate developer I have found it critical to work with this company. My projects range in size, but Jeane has always delivered the critical components bringing new life and modern design to old spaces. She has a great ability to communicate and manage the plan with multiple vendors to ensure a successful finish. I plan to continue working with her in the future so that my properties have a competitve edge when they go to market."

"Jeanne Dole provided interior design services for updating our home. She selected great colors, developed space design ideas and provided general contracting oversight. Her contractors are top-notch. She was very quick to advise us given our short time before move-in."

mmateverson

"I moved from an old CT farmhouse to a larger "open floor plan" home in. CO. I was afraid that my furniture would not work and needed help picking wall colors. Jeane was a delight to work with. She rearranged my furniture so that it did work splendidly and helped choose a smoky blue for the walls. Five years later I still love the color - and so does everyone else that comes into my home."

Carol

"Jeane Dole is a fantastic designer that is all about the details. She has so much information and experience to offer her clients, she is a very thoughtful and a caring person. Jeane has designed some of the most beautiful kitchens and full house transformations I have ever seen. I have and would recommend her to anyone for interior design and managing a remodel project."

kathie

"We moved into our new home and found that our furniture didn't fit into our new space. We needed new furniture as well as rugs, window treatments, lighting and accents. My husband and I gave Jeane a budget and went over our "wish list" with her. Jeane's creativity was most impressive. She helped us bridge the gap from traditional to "transitional" by reconstructing and reupholstering some of our current furniture. To save money, she had furniture constructed to fit the design our of our new home along with guiding us with purchases of some new pieces. Overall, Jeane is trustworthy, confident and talented. She did a wonderful job on our project."

"We came across a la carte Design when we were looking for houses. One of the houses we looked at was a stunning remodel. Although the house was not the one for us because of the location, we couldn't help but wish that the house we did buy looked like the one designed by a la carte! So we did the next best thing--we asked our realtor to find out who did the house we liked so much so that we too could have a stunning remodel. Jeane is a true talent--she uses AutoCAD to draw up her designs so that we can actually picture what our new rooms will look like. Although we are starting "small" with a kitchen and dining room remodel, our hope is that some day our house will incorporate all the amazing design elements Jeane has drawn up for us! She is also great at helping answer questions about furniture layout and paint color. We consider ourselves to have a "good eye" for design, but sometimes we just don't know what to do and Jeane is a great help. We highly recommend her to anyone!"

Erin

"Jeane Dole with a la carte Design has been wonderful to work with! She has been helping me redecorate/redesign my home office. She has really combined my vision with her expertise to develop a look that is classy, but comfortable! She has shown me patterns, colors, and furniture that I would not have picked out on my own, but reflects my style perfectly! I would strongly recommend working with Jeane on your next home design project:)"

"a la carte Design assisted us with updating the furnishings in our great room. We had a very clear vision of what we wanted and a specific budget. Jeane was instrumental in helping us find the perfect pieces of furniture for our living space within our budget. She was very accommodating with our time constraints.

Jeane also helped with interior and exterior paint selection for our home. Color is such an important component in making a home come "alive". Jeane has a wonderful eye for color and design."
