“Barbara selected the perfect body, trim and door colors. I love the way my home looks! 

I couldn’t be happier, and I wouldn’t hesitate to call Barbara again for my exterior or interior color needs. Thank you, Barbara!”

“Hi Barbara,
I wanted you to know how much I appreciate you working with us “long distance,” even from California, in selecting the right paint colors for our home here in Boston.

I was just ‘stuck’ in trying to determine new ideas for colors. You were so helpful with helping me find the new color ideas, paint samples and even painter recommendations.

You are a true professional.”

“Barbara did a very nice job – thoughtful, clear, and sound advice on the wall colors for our downstairs. She was prompt, responsive and happy to provide detailed follow through.

She demonstrated a wealth of knowledge about color and paint, and was a nice person to interact with. Barbara provided advice that matched our tastes, but also injected helpful ideas we hadn’t considered (unlike other designers I’ve worked who were either too wishy-washy or too pushy).

She provides a premium service premium pricing; the cost might limit how frequently I can use her services, but she certainly provided excellent color advice.

My wife and I are very happy with the results.”

“Barbara’s art combines color and pattern in eye-catching and evocative ways. I love my Barbara Jacobs painting so much that I have invited her to post some of her art in our offices where clients can see it.

I have also worked with Barbara on color selections in my home and have found her advice spot-on for both color choice and for finding great interior design resources.”

“Hi, Barbara –
Thanks for inviting me to make a ‘client comment’ for you. What I’ve been telling people about you is that you’re so different from my previous image of color consultants—which was that they’re opinionated, condescending, and elitist—interested in boosting their egos much more than in being helpful.

On the other hand, however, I found you to be funny, complimentary, friendly, and all around delightful, with an excellent eye for color and the ability to translate your skills to those not blessed with such perception.”

“Barbara,
It was great working with you.  Working on a large project like Lubrication Specialties can be intimidating.

You helped us to focus and narrow down the options for the exterior of our building.  We will love the end result.  Thanks for all your help.”

“Color is the creative staging necessary for any property, whether residential or commercial.

Barbara Jacobs has enough depth in her experience to comfort and guide even the color blind…  Her summation is presented in remarkable detail, which leads to the roadmap for the painter.

It is a rather seamless process, created from years of professionalism.

Thank you, Barbara, for all that wisdom.”
