Suzan J Designs Decorating Den Interiors

We hired Suzan to handle six projects in our Shorewood home, and would hire her again in a heartbeat. She listens carefully to what you want, then brings forward ideas and options. When it comes time to execute the project, she and her team handle everything and the results are fantastic. Highly recommend!

Suzan did a great job handling the interior design and decor for a home addition and remodel we worked on together. The transformation wouldn't have been the same without Suzan being able to personalize the decor to the home and the family. She also makes the process fun!

We could not have gotten our beautiful living room without all the help we got from Suzan and Lisa. Many, many thanks to them for all the hard work, time and dedication they put into it. We started with just the furniture and tables, but needed some help to make it a room we truly love. Every time I walk past it, I smile ..... from the paint on walls, the carpeting, artwork, lamps, blinds, drapes, and new tile around fireplace -- it is all perfect. They really know how to envision the whole project and had lots of options for us to look at -- without being too overwhelming!!! Thanks again!!

We could not be happier with the work Suzan has done with our dining room. She visited us the day after we closed on our Wauwatosa home. With such a nice house, we wanted to have furniture/design layout that was appropriate for the age and architecture of the house (stucco Victorian built in the 30s). Suzan more than delivered on this. We've so far hosted Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners - and our family and friends just love the artwork, intricately detailed furniture, the beautiful accents, and the overall layout. My wife and I are over the moon with the project and cannot wait to work with Suzan in the future on our entryway and basement remodel.

I hired Suzan to help with color scheme and product selection, while achieving a cohesive style for my house. Her design suggestions touched on almost every room in the house. In the past when hiring designers, they push me towards a style that does not fit my personality. I was concerned this would happen again. With Suzan, however, it was just the opposite. She worked to maintain the style and color scheme I wanted while adding unique suggestions and originality that perfected the look I wanted for the home. She did this all while meeting my budget needs. The whole process was seamless and easy. Suzan helped every step of the way -- including selections such as Quartz, tile, granite, bathroom fixtures, paint colors, drapery fabrics, and several pieces of furniture. When the project was finished, it was the simplistic elegance for which I was hoping to attain and far exceeded my high expectations. I would recommend Suzan to anyone I know and I will definitely use her again in the future if opportunity arises.

I am a professional picture framer and have worked with Suzan on numerous projects for her clients over the past 5 years. Suzan has a wonderful eye for color and scale, and a good sense of appropriate styles that bring out the best in the artwork, and also coordinate well with the client's décor. She is budget conscious, but always creates a quality design. I look forward to working with her on future projects. I would recommend her highly.

We had a wonderful experience working with Susan. She provided wonderful creative direction while still listening to our preferences and made sure to incorporate them into the overall project. Suzan kept to our budget and assured timelines were followed by the subcontractors throughout the project. We love the end results!

Over the past 10 years we have been doing the photography for Sue Wemlinger. Through the years we have watched her designs grow into a truly well laid out design for her clients. Prior to a photo session we decide on lighting, accessories and the best angle to photograph these rooms. With the current photo technology, Sue has a chance to see the actual photo on an ipad and make any modifications to the accessories and only when she is happy with the final image we do the final photograph. This can take 40 to 50 photos and frequently takes over an hour to get the right shot. We work well together, discussing many different options and making sure her design is captured correctly on the final image. We then use actual paint and fabric samples to match colors in the post production, realizing the camera doesn't always register the correct color. Throughout the post production, we communicate with Sue and send proofs until we finally have achieved her goal. Our goal as photographers is to create an image that accurately reproduces Sue's design. She then uses the photos in her web site, social media, print and national contests.

I had the recent pleasure of working with Suzan for the third time. The challenge on this most recent project was that she had to work long distance in order to help me remodel and update our lake home in northern Wisconsin. This was accomplished through many pictures, in depth discussions and meetings. Suzan really understood our goals and helped us to create a lighter and more rustic sophisticated look. It was so great to see our vision come to fruition utilizing her decorating talents and expertise. I highly recommend Suzan. She is great to work with and will work with you through any challenges you may face. Thank you Suzan for such a fantastic job!

We have had the opportunity to work with Suzan with several different clients. She is a remarkable designer paying close attention to every detail. She goes above and beyond for each and every client. She is excellent at collaborating all aspects of each project. She amazes us all the time with her enthusiasm to provide beautifully designed spaces. We are truly impressed with her talent and dedication to all of her clients.

Suzan is a great designer. We trust her will all of our decisions regarding our permanent residence and lake house. She selects very tasteful décor for the given situation. I often think I can do this myself, but I find that I never would have selected what she does and I like her selections better. I highly recommend using her.

Suzan helped me in virtually every room when I built my house several years ago. This summer I've been focusing on my back yard. Suzan helped with placement of fire pit, raised garden beds, grilling station. She designed color scheme for new deck, fire pit, pergola, patio concrete stain and raised bed (concrete block with stucco). We're midway through the work we're diy ing; Suzan is a great listener and her ideas have given us great confidence all will look great and unified when finalized this Spring.
