Client Testimonials

"Best hour spent in a long time! Tara is so down to earth and open. She was encouraging, helped me take some unnecessary pressure I was putting on myself off of my plate and she underlined slowing down to enjoy the design process instead of rushing to finish. I love Jersey Ice Cream's work and appreciated Tara for sharing her time and experience. Such a pleasure!"

"Tara is amazing! I was very stumped on colors, trim and wallpaper in a few rooms in my house that all connected with each other. She really dug in with me to figure out a creative solution that I LOVE and would have never come up with on my own. She also gave me lots of advice on how to execute and potential mistakes to avoid. I will definitely do another consultation with her again when I move on to my next project."

"We're excited about implementing a lot of the ideas that Tara talked about, now feeling hopeful about the direction of the house instead of overwhelmed/stuck! We loved getting Tara's perspective and tips and can't believe how much she was able to cover in an hour. She took care to address all of our specific questions and also dream up a broader vision for our home. We are grateful to have booked with Jersey Ice Cream Co.!"

"Tara is so talented and gracious. She has great instincts and is able to conceptualize amazing recommendations in the moment. I walked her through several rooms where I felt like I was close, but needed that extra insight to push me in the right direction. She followed up with several resources and links and a lot of encouragement!! She is so worth engaging and I will do it again when she is available. She is also a great person. Thank you for connecting me with such a great talent! "

"Tara is awesome. Approachable, funny and immensely talented. While I was prepared for the consultation, I was all over the place. Tara quickly guided me on track and ascertained what I wanted to achieve. She really listened to my financial constraints and my aesthetic and provided achievable solutions and resources which wouldn't break the bank. I have already made some changes she suggested and my space feels lighter and more collected. This consultation was money well spent! "
