TESTIMONIALS
"One of the things I appreciate so much in working with Jeannie is her ability to take our fledgling ideas at the beginning of a project, translate them into concrete goals, and with her team, turn them into a reality. They made the design process for our two complex projects efficient, convenient, and effortless for us. The implementation always went smoothly and we had a "turn key" welcome into each new home. Jeannie really understands the value of creating spaces that are livable and maintainable while also being engaging and original. We especially appreciate how comfortable our children and guests are in our home and how easily the spaces Jeannie designed adapt to the ways our family grows."

“We have worked with Jeannie and her amazing team twice over the past decade on two major home renovations to accommodate the needs of our growing family. The first one we did in 2009 was a full-home renovation of our mid-Century modern home, which included the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, and the creation of new inspired spaces in our home to allow for more functionality with our family of four young kids. Now, ten years later, we just completed a substantial design refresh of our entire home, which included the addition of new bedrooms so each of our tween-aged children could have their own rooms and an updated outdoor deck and pool patio. Throughout both projects (which lasted over a year each time), we appreciated Jeannie's careful attention to detail to ensure that we stayed within budget by always offering options that were always highly functional, yet also with the unique design aesthetic that we value so much from Jeannie and her team. They have always attentively listened to our feedback and are always willing to be adaptable and pivot as our family's needs change over time. We couldn't recommend Jeannie and her team more highly and look forward to working together again in the future once our kids head off to college!”

"I was drawn to Jeannie’s work because of its playfulness and creativity. Jeannie and her team have helped us design a home that’s the perfect balance of peaceful, practical and fun. Their attention to detail is superb, and on top of everything, they are wonderful people.
Jeannie and her team are able to find furniture, fabric, fixtures and other items that fit perfectly with our needs and work beautifully together. The result is much better than I could ever achieve on my own. I also appreciate Jeannie’s knack for creative problem solving when tricky design challenges arise.
Furthermore, Jeannie and her team have the highest integrity. In the rare instances when they’ve made a mistake, they’ve taken responsibility for making things right. Jeannie also has been a skillful advocate for us when we engage with other professionals like contractors and architects. It’s great to know that she’s in our corner."

"Lotus Bleu Design has been a true partner to us in making sure we have a comfortable and beautiful home. We've worked with Jeannie and her team twice now, the first time on a couple of small projects in our former home and more recently on a much larger-scale effort in our new home. The Lotus Bleu team brought all the creativity, outside examples, familiarity with the design world, and good taste we expected, but they were also very attuned to what we were seeking in terms of cost, look, and comfort. Our home looks gorgeous, and is wonderfully suited to family life."

“We've known Jeannie Fraise and her amazing team at Lotus Bleu for 10 years, and have had the privilege of producing custom fabrics and wallpapers for many of their beautiful projects. They have great love for pattern and color, as we do, and are total professionals in how they approach each order. Every time I visit their office from Philadelphia, I am blown away by how joyful their space is and how supportive they are of studio-based artisans like us."

“I've had the great pleasure of working with Jeannie for more than a decade. Not only is she one of the most talented interior designers I know, she is one of my favorite people. I greatly admire her ability to effortlessly layer color, texture, and pattern in her designs, and I have written about her and featured her work in publications including The San Francisco Chronicle, Du Jour California Home+Design, C magazine, and Organic Spa.”
