JCR Design Group

New to St. Louis, I had a daunting remodel facing me – kitchen, laundry room, powder room, foyer, bathroom along with other minor projects. Prior to my move, I did my homework by subscribing to STL Homes magazine and checking Houzz for designers. Jenny’s style appealed to me right away and she did not disappoint. I had in my mind what I wanted, but she and Natalia took it to the next level and beyond. They always came up with ideas that were just so perfect. Given the scope of work it took some time to complete, but honestly, I was sad when it was over because they were so much fun to work with. The best way to describe my experience with Jenny and JCR Design are the texts I keep sending them....” I love my house!”

We recently completed a major home renovation which took over a year to complete. The first thing I tell people about Jenny, Natalia, Cynzia, and the team at JCR is that they care about your project like it was their own home. They go above and beyond to make sure everything turns out well. This included meeting carpet, drapery, wallpaper, painters, and others at our house to make sure everything started and finished as envisioned. On top of that, they follow up on any outstanding questions or issues. We had hardwood flooring manufacturing issues and wallpaper imperfection issues which the JCR team stayed on top of until all was perfect. They have a network of reliable suppliers and expert craftsmen who they bring to the project. The custom woodwork and refinished pieces came out exquisite and exceeded expectations. The design and construction of our home came out very well and the JCR interior features further enhanced the design. We are very pleased with and have received many compliments on our wallpaper, dining table and chairs, island chairs, countertops, lighting fixtures, and plumbing and cabinet hardware. Partly because of our timing where market prices were rising and partly because of our choices, our project was well over budget. I’m partially comforted by the fact that current prices have risen even higher. In any case we are very happy with the results and continue to use the JCR team for fine tuning and advice.

JCR Design did an AMAZING job designing a custom nursery in my home! HIGHLY recommend if you have a little one on the way.

JCR Design Group is a joy to work with! As a vendor, we see firsthand the creativity and professionalism Jenny & her team bring to their designs, always going above and beyond for their clients. They have a gift for bringing the customer's vision to life and they do this by truly listening and understanding the scope of a project and then adding their expertise to make it happen smoothly and successfully. Highly recommend!

Jenny has elegant and beautiful taste. I gave her an idea and vision of what I was thinking. She met me there and also added more of her experience into the look and feel. There were many moments she showed me something and I thought no. But then once it appeared in my home looked really cool. She’s very thoughtful overall and I enjoyed working with her. She has helped complete our home and was sold successfully during a tough market. Her team is great. She’s now helping us in our new home.

I have enjoyed meeting and working with all of the ladies at JCR Design Group. They are professional, insightful and talented. They communicate exactly what they need and what they are looking for to accomplish their creative vision. I look forward to continuing our relationship in 2024.

Jenny and her team were wonderful to work with and an asset to our kitchen remodel. They patiently coached me thru the entire design process from start to finish. Their professional expertise was so valuable as I made my selections and I couldn't have done the project without their input. The end result is just as I had envisioned, beautiful yet functional. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs design work and I hope to use them again in the future.

Over the past 5 years, I’ve worked with Jenny and her amazing team on several major projects, including a full re-design of both our family home and beach house. These were daunting projects with many small and large choices to be made over a full year, as well as construction elements - and I don’t know how I could have done it with anyone other than Jenny. She has a true talent for understanding the personal style for her clients, and delivering on that look with the highest level of taste and quality. Her ideas around construction choices or house flow are amazing and changed many elements for the better. Her deep network of partners and vendors makes working with her a breeze - even for projects in new locations. She and her whole team are incredibly communicative, patient, and efficient - I couldn’t believe how quickly we were able to complete our projects. All in all, she has helped us create our dream home, and I couldn’t recommend working with JCR Design Group more highly!

Jenny and team helped us effectively redesign our entire house, from top to bottom. Every room was in need of a change. Before doing anything Jenny sat down with us to get a sense of both our style but also the feeling we wanted in each room. That allowed us to start from a great foundation and automatically eliminate 95% of the choices that would not have made sense for us. Of the 5%, she helped guide us through furniture, window treatments, art, wallpaper, rugs and much more. Her recommendations were always through what we liked. We would highly recommend her. The best we have worked with.

Jenny is an exceptional designer. She designed our totally remodeled kitchen and our updated bedroom, living room and dining room. Jenny zeroed in quickly on my needs and preferences and was able to guide me and recommend beautiful and tasteful choices that I love. She is also extremely organized and kept my project moving along on schedule.

I have been working with JCR Design Group for more than two years. I contacted JCR shortly after moving from my turn-of-the-century Shaw-neighborhood home to a Warson Woods mid-century modern. I needed help transitioning from a traditional decor and style to a more contemporary look and, as I was also taking on a nearly full home remodel, help also with floor-plan and room design. Jenny and her staff, in particular, Cinzia and Natalia, have accompanied me throughout this extended journey, acting as my expert guides and consultants. The service has been exceptional: Jenny and team provided valuable input regarding the original remodel plan, recommended and helped secure a qualified contractor to do the work, and offered advice and recommendations on vendors, materials, finishes, furnishings and decor. They have been extremely generous with their time, and consistent in their commitment to producing high-quality results. On many occasions they travelled with me to review vendor offerings and materials or came to my house to personally view and experience what had been selected—to be certain that everything looked ”just right.” They have also accommodated my occasional indecision when making final selections, patiently offering options until my sometimes very particular preferences can be satisfied. I am very happy with the results of my partnership with the JCR team. While their work with me continues, we are approaching the end of the project. I will miss my interactions with Jenny and her staff. It is difficult to imagine there is a kinder, more patient, more skilled team of design professionals working in the St. Louis region.

JCR Design Group is amazing! My new condo looks beautiful. It was so easy to work with Jenny and her colleague. They had fresh ideas and really listened to what my husband and I had to say about our goals. She stepped back when it was something that I wanted to handle and dove in when I was uncomfortable about a decorating matter. We started from scratch with a small condo in the CWE. We are just about done and it is better than I could have even imagined! We purchased cabinetry, paint, plumbing fixtures, wallpaper, all new furniture, window treatments, etc. All of her sub contractors were top notch! I found them always to be upbeat and pleasant which made for a fun decorating journey. I think her input saved me lots of money than had I done it myself. I would not hesitate to recommend JCR Design Group to a friend or family member.

We have been working closely with Jenny and the JCR Design team on multiple large scale renovation projects throughout our house, including a full bathroom renovation, finishing a basement, and designing/furnishing every room in our house. I can't say enough good things about the JCR Design team - they have been like a partner to us from the beginning, understanding our tastes and needs to bring a beautiful and functional home to life. A big thank you to the JCR Design team! For anyone looking for design help, look no further.

We have had the pleasure of working with Jenny Rapp and JCR Design Group for several years. They are a very talented and professional team to work with. Their projects are very organized and detailed. They take the time to listen to their customers needs, and then are able to create a beautiful, functional finished setting. It is evident on installs that the customers truly enjoy working with Jenny and her staff. We would recommend JCR for any project.

I would highly recommend working with Jenny Rapp and the JCR Design Group on any project. Jenny is extremely talented and has great attention to detail. Her designs are both functional and aesthetic, and she is able to work with any style and space (indoor or outdoors).

A year ago, when I was totally overwhelmed with all the updates I wanted to make in my 32 year old home, a friend of mine HIGHLY recommended calling Jenny Rapp! Within a few days Jenny was ''touring'' my home as I shared with her all of my concerns, and wondered where and how do I begin? Over the past year, she has offered her professional advice in each area of my home, some of which include rearranging my furniture, switching out lampshades, and updating existing framework on wall art. My biggest dilemmas were finding a new kitchen table, and I also needed several large area rugs. Jenny brought pictures and samples to my home many times for me to try, and if it wasn't right, she would keep searching. I am now the proud owner of a gorgeous new, one of a kind kitchen table, and the custom rugs she helped me select have complimented my entire house!! I am forever grateful for Jenny and her entire design group....their assistance and dedication have been way beyond my expectations!!!

Jenny and JCR Design helped us with a full house renovation. It is beautiful! She was a joy be with and work with. She made our house a personal reflection of the things we love and tied everything together with our artwork.

JCR Design Group has helped make our house our home over the past two years! We've worked with Jenny and her team of designers to bring our interior design dreams to life, and we are now at a point where we truly feel like each room reflects our desired style. Her team has been timely, efficient, communicative and professional throughout the process and has truly felt like true partners. Our style is fairly contemporary/non-traditional and Jenny and her team really listened to what we wanted, respected our design choices and were able to bring that look to life for us. She has great connections to and relationships with various providers in the area, which helped keep projects moving and on track. Most recently, we wrapped up our largest-scale project, a master bathroom remodel, and she and her team helped coach us along the entire way - from initial drawings to final details - kept things on track with the construction company and mediated any issues that arose along the way. While many of our projects are now finished, we will absolutely work with her in the future for anything that comes up.

I have been working with Jennifer for over seven years. She is an extraordinary designer who is talented, creative and hard working. Working with Jennifer has been easy and fun, she always comes up with the best design to meet the needs of her clients. Sincerely, Renee Futrell

We built our home 18 years ago and unfortunately the family room never worked properly. Jenny came in and listened to our needs and we could not be happier with the results. When she sent me the photos of my completed room, my first thought was wow, what a beautiful room. Oh wait, that’s our house. The room is not only beautiful but it is cozy for the two of us, yet expand perfectly when the whole family is here, and we finally have an unobstructed view to our lovely back yard. It was such a pleasure to work withJenny and her staff, we could not be happier for the initial meeting to the completion.

Very pleased with JCR! Emily was great to work with from the perspective of her listening skills, creativity, professional experience and she always followed through on her commitments with a high sense of urgency... this is not easy to find from my experiences in remodeling and decorating five homes over the past ten years. JCR also has excellent access to skilled craftsman along with appliance, furniture and lighting outlets. Overall, a very enjoyable and productive experience working with Emily and JCR.

Jenny and her team were terrific to work with! She had a great vision for our house remodel and offered several suggestions during the pre-contruction phase that improved our design. Jenny did a excellent job identifying our style and helped guide us to a fabulous finished product. I trusted her expertise and she took the time to explain each phase of our options. Her responsiveness and organized manner reduced our stress level. I will only work with Jenny going forward.

I found JCR design through a friends recommendation and loved all of her room pics online. I am so glad I called them!! Jenny and her team helped us design and plan our newly built home. She listened to our ideas and came up with ideas we loved based on our tastes and vision. She is easy to work with, very professional, and accessible. The whole design team makes JCR a pleasure to work with!

Jenny was wonderful to work with. Not only was she professional in every aspect, that being an Interior Designer, but accomplished exactly what I wanted to achieve with my project right down to the very last detail. She stopped by the house regularly to monitor the project and addressed any concerns that I might have had. In addition, I truly appreciated the quick response time to both my phone calls and emails. My project included a complete demo and remodeling of a Master-bath, decorating of the Master-bedroom and office/den. Project took approximately 5 months. I am very pleased the way everything turned out!

I am a busy professional. I purchased a house that needed a new kitchen, master bathroom, and guest bathroom. I soon realized that I needed some help because of the numerous styles and the variance in prices were overwhelming. Jenny and Megan worked with me to narrow the choices and make good decisions by spending $ in the right places, and shaved costs where we could. They worked directly with the contractor so I could stay focused on my business and the project came in right on budget and turned out perfect. I highly recommend JCR Design to anyone who wants the project done right, and on budget, but doesn't have the time to be involved in the project details every minute.

Jenny has managed to pull together an all star team at JCR Design. Everyone in their office is talented and a pleasure to work with. Knowledgeable in both the design and building requirements, her designers are hard to beat.

We hired Jenny int he summer of 2017 and completed the work in Jan 2018. The scope of work involved new table/chairs/counter stools in my kitchen and full master bedroom redo. Jenny is a terrific listener, has a great eye for color and works with her contacts to get things done in a timely manner. Jenny did not make me feel beholden to all of her suggestions; she is open to looking at things from different perspectives. Jenny is incredibly talented but I think her biggest strength is her communication skills. She is very diplomatic and gracious - which made her a true delight to work with! We are thrilled with the changes and updates Jenny helped us with. I would (and have) strongly recommend Jenny to others who are considering home updates.

Thanks, Jenny, for your excellent expertise in designing a refreshed look in my living room/dining room/ hallway in this 69 year old home! Having worked with you 4 years ago to update these areas with painting and recovered furniture, I was confident. you would guide me in the right direction with this HUGE project in the summer. The dark wood floors are beautiful, and the 2 area rugs really set-off the entire places that have been re-done, including the gorgeous black (smaller) granite hearth. Your kindness and thoughtfulness have not gone un-noticed by me and all the capable workmen who completed the job. We all love you!

Working with Jenny was one of the easiest decisions when I started my home renovation. She understood my style and helped me quickly work through all the material decisions that needed to be made (and we had a lot of decisions to make touching every room in the house). The end results are "stunning" according to visitiors to my home. Aside from the design elements, I was equally impressed with the contractors Jenny recommended. Knowing who to hire to get the job done right and on time made all the difference. From painters, to carpenters, to kitchen designers, they were professionals and after living with their works for months, I'm still trilled with their work. I'm happy to recommend Jenny and her staff to anyone looking for a interior designer. It was a joy to work with them on my home.

Jenny and her entire team have been wonderful to work with. They helped us tremendously when we moved into a new home and needed additional furniture, rugs and décor. She was open to ideas and kept the communication lines open between emails, phone calls and texts. I would highly recommend JCR Design.

It has been a pleasure working with the ladies at JCR since I have taken over management position at Floor Source a few months back. They are very organized and easy to work with. I really enjoy assisting however I can in helping with their beautiful designs and coming up with solutions to make those design ideas possible. All around a great group of ladies to work with!

The ladies at JCR Design Group have an impeccable design aesthetic. Working with them in our showroom is always a treat. They love thinking outside the box when it comes to utilizing tile! They really explore all avenues of their client's needs to produce a stunning final project.

Metro Marble & Granite has had a great partnership with JCR Design Group for almost 8 years now! We have worked together on various types of projects... anything from commercial spaces to residential remodels or new construction. The team is very professional & great to work with. They are on top of the latest trends if you are looking to modernize, but also know the importance of keeping original character & style when that fits best. I would recommend this team for any project... big or small!

Emily was so helpful and incredibly patient while helping me update my newly purchased home. From picking paint colors to picking tile, she has a talented eye for making things look great!

Jenny is always a joy to work with! She is always enthusiastic about her projects and goes the extra step to ensure that her clients vision is achieved! She provides honest advice, helping to avoid problems before they arise. She is always on point with her design advice and uses her knowledge to ensure that her clients are comfortable every step of the way.

Jenny has coordinated all of the finishes and decorating of the home we built in Des Peres. Jenny guided us with samples and advice for carpet, window treatments, light fixtures, cabinet hardware, flooring, paint colors, bathroom fixtures, and countertops. She ordered everything, coordinated with our builder, and even scheduled many of her trusted workers. On moving day, Jenny was at our new house to direct the movers with rug and furniture placement. We could not have done this move without her. Jenny Rapp has our highest recommendation as a decorator (and so much more)!! Debbie Epstein - St. Louis, MO

Jenny is terrific. She was both project manager and design consultant. On the project mgmt side she kept the million moving parts all moving forward. Our builder really liked working with her as well. I think it helped to take emotion out of the dealings with him and she kept us from making dozens of mistakes. As far as outfitting the house the logistics were all handled by her. Everything on time and no surprises. On the design consultanting we thought she easily picked up on what our vision was and helped get it done. She was a star. Tom E.

I hired Emily Koch of JCR Group to design the interior lobby of a commercial building I manage. I was very pleased with her attention to detail, professionalism and consistent communication. We were under a strict time constraint and Emily coordinated everything on time and on budget. From the flooring installers to the art vendors and everything else, I didn’t have to worry about anything because it was all taken care of. Thank you JCR Design Group for successfully completing the project. We will be using your services again in the future.

We were referred to Jenny by our realtor. We moved to a bigger house and needed a lot of furnishings, as well as a whole kitchen, powder room, and laundry room renovation. She was very approachable and easy to talk to from the very start. She got to know our style & budget, and was very accommodating to both. She did everything from helping pick out fabrics for our new sofas & chairs, end tables, lamps, wall-art, small accessories, office furniture, kitchen cabinets, appliances, countertops, backsplash, tile, paint color, window coverings, light fixtures, carpeting, floor refinishing, and many more things! She has access to many different kinds of contractors, which helped with the renovation. She also managed the remodels, including supervision of the contractor's work. Whenever I had a question or concern, she was always willing to put my mind at ease or solve any issues that arose. We will definitely be using Jenny's expertise in the future for bathroom remodels and other projects.

I work at a professional level with JCR Design Group. I work primarily with the owner, Jenny Rapp. Not only is she professional, but knows her design and product very well. Jenny and her staff are all super nice to work with and respond promptly to any inquiries I may have during a project. I have recommended JCR Design Group for a client of mine that required design services which I do not provide. This client in turn had nothing, but wonderful comments about JCR.

Jenny Rapp did an excellent job with the design, renovation and decorating of our home. It was a particularly challenging project since we were living overseas and had to work with each other remotely and reach decisions quickly. The entire renovation was completed in a very short timeframe and we were very happy with the results. We would definitely recommend JCR Design group for their professionalism, excellent work ethic and creativity.

Jennifer Rapp of JCR Design Group is a delight to work with. She is highly professional and was able to help me work within a very tight budget. She was very creative and came up with ideas and solutions that never would have occurred to me. She helped me rearrange my room and the placment of things, that enhanced the room before we even started redoing things. She is upbeat and postive and has a warm personality. She has beautiful taste and I would highly recommend her.

I have worked with Jenny and her team on several projects. They do excellent design work and have great ideas for all project types. I recommend them from the smallest to the largest job you may be doing.

Jennifer Rapp, and the rest of the JCR Design Group helped design and decorate a complete redo of my kitchen, mudroom and laundry room/office. While staying within the footprint of my original rooms, they helped transform a 20 year old, tired kitchen into a gorgeous and yet practical place we all love to spend time in. We moved every appliance to a new spot in order to gain the most space and we replaced the kitchen table with lovely and comfortable island seating for five. I had never had a first floor laundry until JCR Design worked to manipulate my current home office into a shared office/laundry area. We couldn't be happier with the results!

Jenny has an amazing ability to get to know her client's and to make her decorating suggestions based on your personality and style. What impresses me the most is her ability to make each project unique and personalized. Her sub contractors are great people and the kind of folks you welcome into your home. I have done both long term jobs and short term jobs with Jenny so I have experience in the various talents she has up her sleeve. I would recommend her 100 %. cbd

Jenny and her team are very professional and do beautiful work. They are easy to work with and are considerate of their clients budget, and time. They are very knowlegable about the fabrics and trims they select for their clients and chose beautiful textiles that when put together create a beautiful product.

We have done many projects with Jenny and JCR Design Group. Some of our projects have been small and others quite significant. No matter the size of the project, Jenny has been just incredible! Our latest project included an addition on our house. We added a master closest and enlarged our kitchen and enlarged and renovated our master bath. We also updated our master bedroom decor. Jenny was the lead on the entire project working closely with the contractors to ensure all was done correctly, timely and on budget. We highly recommend Jenny and JCR Design Group.

Jenny translated my vision for the bathroom perfectly. While we used high end products, Jenny was able to secure very good prices for the project. She had excellent contractors to complete the project. I would highly recommend Jenny and her group for any project that you would be considering.

We have been using Jenny’s design services for many years. She has helped us with two different homes, our main residence and a vacation home. She is very creative, thorough, timely and a great person to work with. Jenny is extremely talented and has helped remodel our daughters bathroom and bedroom and our master bedroom. In our 2nd home she has helped us with floor plan layouts, furniture, custom carpets and accessory purchases for every room in our house. We presently are working with Jenny on a master bathroom remodel. We would highly recommend her services!

JCR Design Group has been used for design consultation and interior finish and furniture purchases over the last three years. I've worked on several projects with Jenny Rapp. She is extremely thorough, punctual, creative and friendly. I will continue to use her services and highly recommend her. I have used her design services for our kitchen remodel, interior/exterior paint selections, window coverings, reupholstering, and purchased furniture from her.

Jenny Rapp is very knowledgeable designer. She is always on time, and available when you need her. She listens and comes up with great design plans and keeps within your budget. She is available by email as well, with quick responses when you need them the most. We have worked with her for over 10 years and have never been disappointed. She has great people around her, which ensures the job will be done right, the first time. Currently she has helped with a vacation home, not in the state we live in. She has helped throughout the building process and the project is almost complete. We now look forward to her helping us with all the small details, even from far away!!!

We moved to St. Louis a few years ago and because of our busy lifestyle, I did not have the time, skills or desire to decorate and furnish our new home. I was fortunate to find Jenny Rapp and I knew when I met her she would be a great fit for us. Jenny decorated and furnished every room in our entire home and she did it with kindness, patience and always with a focus on what I wanted and what would make it feel like home to me and my family. Jenny is extremely thorough, diligent and talented. She did not give up until she found the very best solutions for our home and she always found solutions that were very high quality within our budget. Jenny even took the time to get to know my girls so that she could make sure that their rooms were just right. She literally took my girls shopping (without me) so they could pick out their very favorite colors and patterns. I highly recommend Jenny Rapp and JCR Designs. I was a little sad when her work was done in our home because I knew I would miss Jenny since she made the process so positive.

I have been using Jenny Rapp now for almost 3 years. It all began about one week after I moved into our new home. I reached out to Jenny to help me with our family room. It then went from our family room to kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom and now we are currently working on a living space in our basement. She was just that good that I felt compelled to use her for each space in our house. It has become our inside joke that each time she comes over I end up asking her about another room which leads to another project. By utilizing Jenny, I have saved so much time and money as she is a one stop shop and is so thorough that everything is perfect on round one. Jenny will win you over with her personality and knowledge of the business. Jenny is always filled with ideas and suggestions, is so easy to work with and there is never any pressure. Jenny has made my house a home and she truly is the best in her industry. I have recommended her to several of my friends and family and they love her too!
