Why Hiring a Designer Actually Saves You Stress and Costly Mistakes
After years of working with homeowners, especially those renovating or building in a new season of life, I’ve seen the same patterns again and again. When design support comes in early, stress goes down, confidence goes up, and costly mistakes are almost always avoided.
Designing With Intention
Designing with intention is about closing that gap. It is not about trends or starting over. It is about shaping a home that supports the way you live now and the life you are building next.

It is a privilege for my husband and I to recommend Jeri Cheney to anyone interested in a person who is very caring about your needs and wants. She is very creative and well educated in her work. She listens to you and then, quite often, helps you find something you weren’t aware of that turns out to be so much better than you could do on your own.
When Science Meets Design - Why Some Spaces Just Feel Right
Maybe it was the way light streamed through the windows or how everything just felt in harmony — the textures, the colors, the flow. Some spaces have an almost magical ability to make us feel calm and at ease, while others (even beautifully decorated ones) somehow miss the mark.

Jeri is talented and attentive to every last detail. She does the legwork but involves me in all decisions. The 3D imaging she uses has allowed me to see my project and have a good vision of the outcome. Unlike some designers who might push their own agenda, I feel like Jeri has captured my style and moved forward to implement it.
Designing a Dog-Friendly Home: Sophisticated Spaces for You and your Pup

I’m sharing simple upgrades and custom ideas to make your home both gorgeous and dog-approved. From chic built-in feeding stations to cozy window perches, there’s something for every pup and every home.
Designing Your Dream Home as an Empty Nester
Entering this empty nest phase has been like opening a fresh chapter filled with possibilities. With my children off on their own adventures, it has been a perfect time to rethink my living space and how it can better reflect my unique lifestyle and preferences.
LVP vs. Laminate Flooring
Several people have asked for my opinion on LVP (luxury vinyl planks) and laminate flooring. Each option has its own set of advantages and drawbacks, making it essential to understand their differences before making a decision.

One of the best decisions was hiring Jeri Cheney to help us with the interior design. Since we gutted the house, the most important thing she did was draw plans for where she thought the new walls should be. Her suggestions were ingenious, and we followed nearly all of them. We love how well each room flows into the next.
Do Arches Suit Your Home?
Just a few weeks ago, I was asked to add an arched doorway into a space I’m designing. While initially I took up my client's enthusiasm for the idea, the more I thought about it, the more I wondered if it truly suited the design of her home…
Designing for Lifestyle
The first conversation when building a new home, vacation home, or renovating, should revolve around understanding who you are and what you dream to be. These questions can help establish not only your current lifestyle needs but maybe an even more elevated lifestyle that your new or renovated home can provide.

Jeri is conscientious, capable, talented, friendly, considerate, reliable, responsible, and has a good eye for what is functional and looks spectacular. Jeri knows all the right contractors and suppliers and will probably save you money over trying to decorate/design things yourself. I know our end results have been better having incorporated Jeri’s ideas than if we had tried to put things together on our own.
