"Tessa Juall is a treasure. Thankfully, we discovered Tessa during an update of our 1970’s ranch home. The update quickly became a rebuild and Tessa handled all the surprises with ease. Her experience, contacts, and work ethic kept the project on time and removed a great deal of stress. She sorted through our likes, dislikes and uncertainties to find our sense of place and comfort. The end result was simply perfect. Her eye for color, texture, and scale are spot on. When the time came to update our professional space, we knew the result would be simply perfect – and it is. Thanks to Tessa."

"Tessa did an amazing job in making our home special. She was so thoughtful and helpful on everything from selecting materials, to paint, furniture, fixtures, and accessories. She gave us confidence to take some chances on some ideas that turned out great and her candor was invaluable in helping us avoid making mistakes. Her suggestion to add shiplap to our kitchen turned out awesome and her suggestion to incorporate a Murphy bed into our office allowed us to have a functional and spacious office while maintaining the ability to have additional room for guests. She has a great personality which made the experience fun and enjoyable."

"The interior finishings and design on our new townhome in Sarasota, Florida are extraordinary. The motif of earth tones, water and relaxation was accomplished by Tessa Juall. Her efforts have resulted in a sense of tranquility on entering our place which carries throughout the residence. All spaces are easy on our eyes, minds and bodies – which is what we wanted. The rough wood hewn furniture contrasts with solid tone upholstery and tasteful accoutrements. Lamps, end tables and wall hangings are unobtrusive and well placed. All was achieved on a very reasonable budget upon which we were insistent and about which Ms. Juall remained respectful. I’d definitely use her in the future!"

"Tessa did a wonderful job of identifying my taste and style and incorporating that into the project. I built two custom homes while utilizing Tessa's expertise as a designer, and have to say she went above and beyond my expectations. Tessa, has a great sense of color, style, and final vision for the projects she undertakes. I was impressed with Tessa's trustworthiness, communications skills, and the ability to complete the project that exceeded my expectations in every way."

"Without a doubt, Tessa Juall is one of Sarasota’s best kept secrets…my husband, Chris and I had the pleasure to work with Tessa on re-designing and decorating a few rooms in our current home within the past few years. As an active Real Estate agent in this area, I have the opportunity to see first hand, unbelievable homes and always walk away with new ideas, many of which would never had made any sense for us to implement…that is where Tessa became a valuable part of our decision making. She listen carefully to what I liked and did not like, she assisted me on “furniture scouting” trips, in the selection of wall colors, upholstery fabric, tile, carpet and so much more. We love the final outcome! So now, we are about to embark on a bigger project, building our dream home and Tessa will be assisting us throughout the entire process…what a fun adventure with a very talented designer."

"Tessa Juall made redoing our new house a relaxed and rewarding experience. We refurnished the entire house - furniture and furnishings, custom designed furniture, audiovisual center, bookshelves. Tessa presented significant options at each stage so that our own time was focused and well spent. Our art collection was beautifully integrated. Her access to and relationships with excellent craftsmen was important. Everything was done right the first time. Tessa’s way of working accommodated to our schedule and level of desired participation. She helped us greatly in defining what we were looking for in the finished home. It is a joy to live in."
